So, we booked the Frog Pond for the second year, assuming we would have the same experience as we had in 2022.
The house was great, lots of room. The AC worked fine. The pond was amazing. The "country internet" worked so-so. The hiking around the location was appreciated by our "foragers" who came back daily with bags of different mushrooms. Great meals, good kitchen. The hot tub was clean and enjoyable. So far, so good.
Thinking the kids would love the saline pool, even more, this year than last . . . we were sadly disappointed.
The pool was filthy when we arrived. "Supposedly" it is said to be cleaned once a week. I hope the house owners will review the service of their pool attendants. They did not show up during our stay. Each morning we had to use the net to get the frogs and all of the frog eggs out of the pool. On the first full day the kids caught a jar full of tadpoles, which they released in the pond. The last few mornings the saline pool was so filled with frog eggs that swimming was no longer an option, even after skimming the frog eggs out each morning. The water filtration system wasn't working. A text to the owners to get the pool cleaned and water circulating again got no reply. So, we enjoyed the pond and a day trip to Ellijay town.
Before booking, get some confirmation from the owners that the pool will be clean and in working order . . . IF you want to use the pool.
Summer 2022 was WONDERFUL. Summer 2023 was great . . . except for the pool.
