Allatoona pass, which was the site of "The Battle of Allatoona Pass", is directly across from the house.

The actual property itself contains a pre-civil war general store on it along with another victorian home.
Guests can walk to the lake for swimming or bring their own boat. Allatoona Landing Marina is just 500 ft. away and the inn has a private dock. There are also places to park boat trailers on the property. The marina currently offers a lakeside restaurant, beach, boat ramp, dock and camping grounds. The dam across the street also contains a breathtaking view of the lake. Every now and then a train runs across the back of the property which is a part of the Civil War history.
