This quaint home was built in 1953 and we have designed it as a quiet getaway spot for our family and guests. The Killian family has ties to the local history and FDR in Warm Springs. Now we are opening it up for others to enjoy.
We want to thank our guests for making a breakout year at the Killian House. We had a visit from Sam Killian III the son of the builders of the house. We had a writing group with published authors, three wedding parties, families of graduates, history buffs, andjust great people.
The house is 1900 sq/ft and sits on a secluded 1.5 acre wooded lot on top of a hill above Warm Springs GA. We have seen deer, fox, and the always entertaining squirrels on the property. The tree surrounded lot is perfect for star gazing.

Common Areas
Cozy new furniture fills the rooms for long conversations or napping. The dining room seats 8 for candlelit dinners. The Den table is ready for snacks, games, and puzzles. Sit on the front porch with your morning coffee and watch the sun come up. The outdoor grill can prepare a large meal or just use the fire pit to roast marshmallows. Grab a snack and head to the back porch to talk and laugh as the sun sets. Killian House Retreat is the perfect quiet place to finish that research paper, spend time with family, work projects, girl's weekend, or wedding parties. There is room for private small retreats for work, school, or church.


Kitchen
The 50's style kitchen is newly updated but reminds your of Grandmother in her favorite spot. Bake your own cookies or have wine from the local winery with cheese to relax in comfort.

Entertainment
We have chosen not to have a TV in the Killian House Retreat. We use the house as a place to unplug, rejuvenate, and renew communications with each other. However, there is killer wifi with easy access all over the house. We created a blank wall and provided an easy to use video projector and speakers to experience that special movie, game, or cat video together.

Surrounding Activities
We are 15/20 minutes from Calloway Gardens. Many adventures await such as: Christmas Fantasy in Lights, golf, hiking, Gardens, Water ski events, Lakefront beach, Butterfly Gardens, and Treetop challenge course, biking, canoeing, and live raptor shows.
FDR's Little White House is 1 minute away just down the hill. The historic pools that helped FDR refocus his life and body before his political career are at the bottom of the hill below his house.
Take a tour of the Warm Springs Winery. The featured local wines are made from Scuppernong and Muscadine grapes. Taste the unique pepper infused Hotlanta wine.
The Roosevelt State park borders the property. There are over 40 miles of trails in the park. Many trails lead to waterfalls along the hike. Beginners to advanced hikers will enjoy the trails. The Liberty Bell Pool is a great place for a day of swimming after hitting the trails. Antique shopping is abundant in Warm Springs and the many surrounding small towns. Being further from a large city the finds are plentiful.
Restaurants abound in the local area. While we lost our historic Bullock House building, the owners have reopened in an historic downtown building. The food is just as good and the genuine welcoming nature of Warm Springs is still alive. Mac's Bar B Que is perfect southern fare. The Gardens Restaurant at Calloway makes for a beautiful night out. Only 30 minutes away is the riverfront in Columbus GA which offers 5 great restaurants along the beautifully restored walking park.

    It was a private residence which I liked. Everything was there that was promised; however, it is an older home that needs some sprucing up.We were not able to take advantage of the firepit which was a disappointment because of the weather. Very convenient to Callaway!

    There was plenty of room for the 5 of us. Any questions we had were answered quickly by the owner. We were only there for one night, but I would go back because there is plenty to do in the area. We could have gone to a motel and gotten 2 rooms, but this was nice to be together, played some games and had a good time.

    Our family had a wonderful stay. The house was decorated beautifully for Christmas and the owner even gave us an ornament for a keepsake. We had a memorable visit and hope to return next holiday season. The location was perfect and the host attentive and kind.

    We didn’t find out until 3 days before arrival that the fireplace was a nonworking for looks only and it had no tv. We had booked over Thanksgiving and had planned on sitting by the fire and watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Go to the Festival of Lights and come back and cozy up by a nice fire and watch a Christmas movie. It has a fire pit but it had rained off and on and wasn’t an option. The den is an add on and is a 4-5 inch step off from all 3 doors. Needless to say there were many twisted ankles and a fall. There was garbage in the kitchen when we arrived and long blonde hair in one tub. The other tub looked like it hadn’t been scrubbed in a while. The tile in the kitchen was ALL cracked and the floor was wavy. I had 4 people needing CPAP machines and had to go buy 2 surge protector to have enough plugs. In one room there was 1 outlet. I don’t really want to pack my whole house up just to go on vacation. I would not stay there again.

    The house was lovely. I felt like we were transported back in time to my grandmother's house. All of the antique furniture, fixtures and other touches were recognized andappreciated. We loved the history of the house. We looked up the former owner Sam Killian Sr. (Former mayor of Warm Springs) and learned more about the house and the town. We spent most of our time at Calloway Gardens for a family reunion, but we took some time to do the Little White house guided tour. We absolutely loved it! My15 yer old grandson loved hearing about Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt. We enjoyed the stay and would like to return one day.

    We were in town for a wedding at The Venue. We chose this property because of its close location. The owner stopped by to leave WIFI instructions and was very informative about the house and area. We enjoyed just sitting around and unplugging from the fast pace of life. It rained the entire weekend so we weren't able to enjoy the firepit area and sitting on the back porch. I would stay here again. But, remember it is an older house with older furnishings with no TV but excellent WIFI service, so if that's not your thing you should reconsider before booking. Communication was excellent with the owners! Thank you for sharing your property!

    The house was decorated and ready for our family's Christmas stay. Tons of room for 7 people to spread out or get cozy. Hostess was very pleasant and accommodating but never bothered us. Really good price with plenty of amenities. We really enjoyed the house and feeling like we were in our own world but close enough to enjoy plenty of activities nearby. Thank you!

    3 Women attending a Barnhunt trial with our dogs in Pine Mountain. We are all from different cities so the home gave us a place to visit & relax in the evenings. Good restaurants close by. The beds could be more comfortable. The owners were very responsive and have been notified about our suggestions

    We evacuated from Hurricane Milton and had a wonderful stay. The house had plenty of beds for everyone and was very comfortable. We enjoyed hanging out on the back deck and next to the fire pit. The weather was nice and cool in the mornings and evenings so we enjoyed the campfire each day and the smores! The kids explored in the woods surrounding the house. We visited the Little White House Museum and went horse back riding in the State Park.
