Good Hope, Georgia
Beautiful restored 1870 farmhouse on 60 wooded acres with river, fishing pond, walking trails and easy access to Athens, Madison and Monroe. Also on our homestead is a historic cabin, pavilion by the pond, and a historic old church with library. Our farmhouse, cabin and church,as well as the landscape itself, are all listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Canoes and kayaks available for guest use. Please visit our instagram @porticohighshoals for pictures of life on the farm.
We arrived on Tuesday and were greeting by Lee. Lee and Amy were great at communicating. Our kids came Saturday afternoon to celebrate family Christmas. They loved the house and exploring the property. It's an amazing place to stay. Thanks Lee and Amy for your hospitality.
This place is amazing and the owners are first class. We are actually planning an event just so we can stay here again.
Enjoyed this historic, quaint farmhouse about 20 minutes outside of Athens. Whee wen we arrived on Thursday, met with Lee, the co-owner, when we arrived and he graciously walked us through the house snd even recommended places for dinner close by that night. Caught the UGA game on Saturday and easy checkout on Sunday. Thank you, Amy and Lee
Beautiful historic home located on a property with trails, river and pond. Very enjoyable.
The Farmhouse was a perfect spot for us to stay: close enough to UGA to participate in graduation activities, but removed enough to feel like a special getaway. We enjoyed hosting the graduates!
The property was just soothing. I have never had a better equipped house. Lee and Amy were so kind and welcoming. We will be back.
This is the quincessential old farmhouse. Lee and Amy made us feel right at home. Fresh eggs and pumpkin bread on arrival was completely unexpected but the perfect touch to a lovely getaway!
The farmhouse had everything we needed to enjoy a weekend away. My favorite part was enjoying coffee on the front porch in the rocking chairs every morning. Saw many birds and deer. I just can't wait to get back. Lee and Amy are wonderful host!
Unique informative relaxing good location
Five of us enjoyed a wonderful time in this beautiful historic home and all that was on the property! What a treat! Amy and Lee are great hosts and such talented and gifted people! The fresh flowers were such treat as was seeing the garden and great potting shed, the cabin, pond, old cemetery, etc! We will definitely be back! Being close to Madison and Monroe, two wonderful towns to explore, was icing on the cake!
The stay was very relaxing and home was so clean and well maintained. The house was 150 years old with alot of character and charm. Highly recommend this place to everyone. Owners were there on property. The respected our privacy and were also very friendly. I couldn't be any happier. We had 4 generations and everyone loved it.
What a wonderful find. Such a peaceful and comfortable place. We so enjoyed spending time here, walking the open trails, the activities and hearing the history from owners. We 4 sisters plan to return to enjoy each other and what you and God have created.
Just looking for a place to put our head down for UGA graduation weekend and found a place that I would love to spend more time exploring. The house and property are amazing and the hosts are extremely friendly and accomodating. The history that has been restored and maintained throughout the property is remarkable. The property itself offers something for everyone that enjoys nature and water activities. I hope we can return and spend more time truly exploring all that the property has to offer.
What an incredible property! We initially booked this house due to its location. However, after we arrived we were blown away with this property. We could have skipped our original itinerary and just stayed at the house. There is so much to explore, the church, library, trails, pond, old cemetery and river. The owners are AMAZING hosts and the house has so much charm. We have young children and they were in heaven exploring the property. This property exceeded our expectations and we are already planning our next trip back.
