Very nice 2 bedroom unit (clean/spacious/beautifully furnished) with screened in porch with a beautiful lake front view. Resort located within a residential area amongst some beautiful homes. I enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching people enjoying the lake fishing, speed boating, swimming...).

A car is a must. Resort is about 55 miles from the airport and about 65 miles from downtown Atlanta. Rush hour(s) is no fun. Also, the units are about 3 miles from the registration desk and about a mile from the amenities. There is a company that offers an excursion into Atlanta which includes a tour of the Governor’s Mansion and stops for about 4 hours downtown to visit area attractions (Coca Cola, Aquarium, CNN, Olympic Park, MLK Museum/Library...).

Really nice, helpful staff. I woke up one morning with a bad cough and the Guest Service Rep I was scheduled to meet with that day for my update brought me some cold tablets. Another day a maintenance man noticed one of my tires was losing air. He located me, filled the tire with air, located the object that had punctured the tire and spray painted the area for the rental car company.

The master bedroom has a journal for guests to share their experience which I thought was a very quaint idea.

I loved the unit but not the distance from everything. However, if you mainly want to get away to relax in a beautiful environment, the Plantation is the place to go.

I was a little nervous entering the property. It sits a few miles off the main road and check-in is located in a little cottage outside of the security gate. Well, the guest services staff put me at ease. They were wonderful! Seeing that I was traveling alone, they made sure I was in a comfortable location. I wonder if security was asked to check on me -- I saw them and chatted all the time. Needless to say, my whole experience was fantastic.

When I entered the 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit, I noticed the open floor plan with carpeting and hardwood flooring. The kitchen was very nice with colorful cook- and dinnerware. The functional kitchen made it easy to prepare meals. I ate breakfast many days on the screened-in verandah. The view was truly breathtaking. My master bedroom and living room looked out onto Lake Tara. To wake up every morning with a view of the lake and go to bed every night looking at the stars was fabulous! I didn’t want to leave my unit. Nice décor throughout.

Fairfield Plantation appears to be a mixture of timeshare property and private residences. Everyone shares the amenities, but that didn’t seem to be a problem.

The only downfall was that I had to drive near the check-in area to get a cell phone signal. There were telephones in the unit, but I elected to make long distance calls with my cell.

This resort caters to a variety of travelers. I saw elderly couples, families with young children, young couples – it is just a warm, welcoming place. Highly recommended!!

Hubby & I came down for our 3rd anniversary and for Dragon*Con. This location was absolutely wonderful!

Just returned from the Plantation at Villa Rica. it is a very comfortable and beautifully furnished cottage among luxury homes around Lake Tara. There is a lovely 18 hole golf course on site which is very private and is surrounded by all the homes and forest..Other Amenties include 2 outdoor pools . the nicest being at the rec centre. a sandy beach and a full serviced marina.

It is located 45 minutes west of Atlanta of I20, Exit 24 just south of town of Villa Rica by 10 minutes and about 15 minutes north of large town of Carrolton which has all your grocery and shopping needs. Best resturant in area closest to Resort is O'Charleys at I 20 and 61 cutoff. Best mall( ARBOUR MALL) at I20 exit 36 towards Atlanta.

Atlanta of course has everything u need plus tourist sites. The Georgia Aquarium is worth the admission price, CNN tour, World of Coke, the Olympic Park, Braves Baseball, Six Flags. U will not be disapointed with this selection for a vacation getaway!
