Hidden Persimmon - Peaceful, Hobby Farm Apt

Family Friendly | Relaxing Location | Lots of Fresh Country Air | Professionally Cleaned We are popular with traveling nurses, emergency response personnel, families, business travelers, tourists, and those relocating to the area looking for a peaceful get-a-way space. Professionally cleaned and sanitized before and after each stay. A short 15 min drive from downtown Covington, Georgia where filming is commonplace. *Please be patient during spring property clean up* This quaint basement apartment is your escape from the usual hustle and bustle of traveling. Plenty of parking and a personal entrance offers privacy after a full day of sight-seeing or business. The residence is situated on 4 acres surrounded by pine trees and hardwoods. Sitting on the patio just outside your front door, bantam chickens, squirrels, chipmunks, Hummingbirds and seasonal song birds will give you a show in the mornings. In the evenings, prepare to be serenaded by the songs of crickets and frogs from the nearby stream running through the property. Walk the vast expanse of the wooded lot and see if you can find the Persimmon Trees with their luscious fall fruits begging to be picked or watch the kiddos play in the spacious backyard that includes a super cute treehouse and chicken coop. If you are handy or enjoy gardening, feel free to join in! We currently have a large PermaCulture project going which will include multiple fruit, herb and veggie gardens, edible landscaping, a HugelKultur garden, mushroom garden, multiple rain gardens, hardscape areas, Fire pit area improvement, a walking bridge over the stream and a forest garden with mulched paths. We ask for your patience while we are improving the property. We have had the honor of hosting foster family visitations, work trips and international get-a-ways. This property boasts a full kitchen with large walk-in pantry, functional laundry room with stacked washer/dryer and complimentary supplies, spacious living room/dining room combo, gracious bedroom with king bed (can be converted in to two twin beds for groups), an adjoining sitting room/office that frequently doubles as a second bedroom, a large walk-in closet and full bathroom with amenities. Families traveling together will find a port-a-crib, crib mattress and linens in the second bedroom closet. A new futon in the living room can be converted to a twin bed. For safety, please list the exact number of overnight guests in your reservation. Groups of 5 or more may be subject to an additional charge. We live and work on the property and always enjoy meeting our guests during their stay. You will hear overhead sounds from our toddler who is learning to walk quietly and shut doors gently. If you are traveling with young children we absolutely encourage play in the treehouse and yard. We have a preschooler who enjoys meeting new friends, so don’t be shy about asking for a play date! Older kiddos and adults enjoy walking and exploring the natural areas in our back 4 acres. Please use the deep woods off located in the bathroom cabinet to ward off any mosquitoes and ticks, in addition to appropriate outdoor clothing. The space is in a rural area. We are happy to help with grocery service, dry cleaning or other errands to make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Our chickens provide cute mini-sized fresh eggs - as long as everyone is laying, you’ll likely find some in the fridge during your stay! The fire pit area next to the creek is currently being renovated, but you are welcome to use the in-ground fire ring to enjoy Smores on the weekends when the weather is cooler at night. Riverbrooke is a spacious, yet close knit, social community. We participate in Neighborhood Watch and most properties have camera surveillance for security. If you are taking a leisurely walk around the subdivision, our neighbors will wave or stop to chat. Maps and visitor information are provided and free for guests to take. We also enjoy being your tour guides and are happy to arrange things to do in the local area.

We observe the same quiet hours so as not to disturb your nighttime slumber, but if you like to sleep in we encourage noise cancelling devices. Our toddler is still learning how to walk quietly and close doors gently.
