About this house rental
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, and just 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.

We were pleased that we were right across the street from The Little White House. House has so much character and history. Wish we could have stayed longer!

We stayed here while having a late Christmas with our family and a visit to Callaway Gardens. The hostess was so responsive and the house was adorable! I highly recommend!!

We went with friends for a weekend getaway. It was supposed to be a very rainy weekend. I communicated with the host about changing the dates; however, we decided to chance it. The host immediately offered to look at alternate available weekends, and when we told her we were coming despite the rain, she sent links to several indoor locations and festival information. She was very kind and helpful, and responded quickly.
The property is beautiful and although it never rained, it was too wet to enjoy sitting outside, it was quiet and the views are stunning. We saw some deer on the drive up to the property.
The house reminds me of my grandma's house. The bed was comfortable and the rooms are decorated nicely. They also took extra effort to make sure you have everything you need for your stay. You will never miss t.v. There are also games and books to read.
The location is very close to Warm Springs, which is so charming and full of kind people. It is an easy and scenic drive to Callaway Gardens and Pine Mountain.
We plan to return!

This is an older home in a quiet neighborhood. My only complaint was that the hot water went fast during a shower.
Warm Springs is a small town do dining options in the late evening are slim.

The house is as pictured. The rooms are homey, nice and comfortable. There were plenty of towels and the beds were clean and comfy. There was a fire pit also, which we did not use as it was windy. We enjoyed the porches for just being in the outdoors and nature. It felt very private. Very close to area attractions. We were lucky enough to get in Carriage and Horses for Friday night and it was delicious! The Bulloch house was very good as well. We hope to visit again!

We absolutely loved staying in theis getaway home, the adults enjoyed the stay just as much as the kids!
The best part was NO tv, the kids played board games and ran around the yard the entire time!
Couldnt have asked for a better place to stay! Will definitely be back!
Many thanks!!

We enjoyed the atmosphere at the property, learning the history behind the Killian as well as the town of Warm Springs. There was plenty of room and it was quite comfortable. However the place could use a little TLC as far as upkeep and cleanliness.

Located in the country you have privacy, and it is quiet. The woods around are beautiful. We were able to enjoy bonfires at night twice while staying there. Sitting on the porch, front or back, is such a wonderful experience and relaxing. Our grands did an early Easter Egg Hunt of Saturday and had a ball. Not having TV is an advantage. The house takes you back to a simpler time and has all the amenities you could ever need. When you enter the back door and open up the blinds you have a beautiful view. Perfect for eating and enjoying nature. Sleeping where it is so quiet is restful and the rooms are roomy. We highly recommend this if you are going to be in the area. We already miss it.

Cute, quaint, charming 1950s home in a great location. Boomers, If you love vintage and nostalgia this is the rental for you! I read the interesting history of Sam Killian and FDR in the info book left for guests. The house was decorated for Christmas and the dining room set up with china as if my Grandma had set the table.
Our dogs liked the big yard and woods.
Soft bed mattresses and plenty of towels. The owner left a gift ornament with a picture of Killian house on it for us. Thank you for this souvenir of a lovely stay in Warm Springs.
As for sightseeing advice we enjoyed seeing the Red Oak covered bridge in Woodbury, the oldest and longest wooden bridge in Georgia. It’s a peaceful place take a picnic; there are tables by the creek.
The best way to see the Fantasy in Lights at Callaway is to book tickets for the first trolley time at 6:00, arrive around 5:00 see the Santa shop and then board the trolley. Beautiful lights and music with caroling on board sure invokes the Spirit of the holiday. The ride took about an hour but by the time we walked out the crowds and long lines were evident! So glad we went early! If it’s too cold for the trolley on your chosen day you can always opt to be the first in line at 6:30 in the car lane.
We will definitely be back. Thanks again to the hosts for offering their home for rental.

We had a wonderful stay at this home just outside Warm Springs! There were games and books for kids and adults. There was a deer just off the back porch one morning. The home sits high on a the side of a small mountain and has beautiful wooded views in the front and back. We visited a couple of restaurants recommended by the owner and thy were both hits! This home is exactly as pictured. The owner was great to work with. She was super responsive and helpful. We went to Callaway Gardens for the Christmas lights on this trip. We are now talking about coming in warmer weather to visit Warm Springs and the Little White House.

The Killian house was a perfect fit for our time in Warm Springs. We played games around the round table in the cozy family room, did puzzles on the large dining room table, fixed all our meals in the well stocked (with kitchen items) and drank a lot of coffee. Each of the 4 bedrooms had plenty of blankets for the chilly evenings.
The owners were quick to respond to our questions and helped with any issues we encountered.
I would definitely stay here again.

Quaint but older home
Being an older home, some things didn’t work well. Bathroom sinks very small and pressure not great. The blinds were difficult to close, front door didn’t close easily.
Kitchen had everything needed, seating was nice.

A Return Visit for Scrapbooking Weekend
This was our second time to stay at Killian House. We love the location for visiting Warm Springs and Pine Mountain shops and restaurants. It's very much like visiting a grandmother's house—homey feeling, complete with rust stains and chairs that are serviceable but not the most comfortable. :) We had an issue with the internet, and the owner came right over to set things straight. It was a very cold weekend, but we were snug inside. We did have to keep adjusting the Nest thermostat, though! If you like history and "old-fashioned," this is a great spot for you. We hope to return next year!

Warm Home
The property was beautiful and inviting. We all jumped with excitement to see all the games and books available.
I like to clean so a vacuum for me would have been nice. I saw dog food under the couch in the den I would have cleaned up in a jiffy. But my fiance said I was supposed to relax. And I was forbidden.
The Christmas spirit in the home was very sweet.
We will return soon.

Best Little Secret in Warm Springs
We had 6 adults and 2 small children that had the best stay at Killian House! The grands want to know when we are going back! From old telephones to the board games lots of memories were made! Had a mishap with a faucet and it was fixed the same day within hours!
The host was gracious and replied within 30 minutes! Most comfortable beds and clean as home!
Look forward to our next stay!

Great stay at historic house
We loved staying in this quaint house. Made us feel we were living through history. The house is well stocked with games - the kids were never bored! And we loved using the fire pit in the evenings, roasting marshmallows and enjoying the evening air.

LCHS Get together
Great property and location. We were only a party of 3 but there is plenty of room for more guests. The kitchen was well equipped even though we didn't cook. I'm a kitchen fanatic. Having two bathrooms is always a plus. The information booklet left was wonderful. I had been to the area several times but found new places to visit and enjoy. It is an older home but well maintained. WiFi was great. The extra outlet extensions in the rooms were a definite plus. I would certainly recommend and stay again.

This home had everything we needed!
My entire family stayed here, we cooked meals and played outside. The sunset was Beautiful. The beds were clean and soft. The kitchen could have been cleaner. Maybe their cleaning crew was in a hurry that day. It was also a 30 minute drive to callaway And wild animal safari. I would stay here again. Felt like we were alone out there even though there were close neighbors. My children played with treasures of toys they found in the closet. The projector was a fun thing we tried out in the evening. It was so peaceful. We loved it ands would recommend it.
