Rally on your own pickleball court in the morning, then head less than 5 miles to The Battery for dinner and a Braves game under the lights. Come home, plug the car into the EV charger, and pull a chair up to the fire pit while the kids battle over foosball downstairs. This remodeled four-bedroom Smyrna home sleeps eight, gives everyone room to spread out, and sits on a quiet street where you can actually sleep.
ABOUT THIS SPACE
Welcome to The Battery Retreat, a fully remodeled brick ranch with a finished lower level. It is set up so eight people can spend real time together and still find a quiet corner.
Main floor
- Living room one: sink into the leather sectional beside the white-brick fireplace (decorative only) and built-in bookshelves, with a smart TV with all the major streaming apps.
- Dedicated workspace: a desk and office chair under the front windows, plus fast Wi-Fi for work calls.
- Kitchen: cook a real meal with stainless appliances, a granite island with four stools, a dishwasher, blender, toaster, kettle, baking sheets, wine glasses and all the cooking basics.
- Coffee bar: Keurig and drip both, with starter coffee pods, sugar and creamer waiting for you.
- Dining: the long table seats ten, so game-day breakfast and late dinners happen around one table.
- Bedroom 1: a king bed, smart TV and a sliding barn door to the ensuite bath, where a freestanding soaking tub sits beside a glass walk-in shower with a rain showerhead and a double vanity.
- Bedrooms 2 and 3: each has a queen bed and a smart TV, and they share a newly remodeled bathroom with a glass walk-in shower.
Lower level
- Second living room: yes, this home has two living rooms. Downstairs is its own hangout with a big sectional and bean bag, perfect when the adults want to talk upstairs and the kids want a movie.
- Game room: foosball and a stack of board games for rainy days and post-game rematches.
- Bedroom 4: a full-size bed in a sports-themed room built for young fans.
- A full bathroom, plus a washer and dryer with an iron so you can pack light.
Outside
- The fire pit is ringed with Adirondack chairs, with a cushioned porch swing beside it. Please bring your own firewood, or ask us and we'll share the contact for delivery.
- Outdoor dining at the umbrella table on the patio, with a gas grill right beside it.
- The pickleball court is yours for the stay. Please bring your own rackets and balls.
Comfort extras: central air and heat, room-darkening shades, extra pillows and blankets, a pack 'n play and outlet covers.

GUEST ACCESS
You have the entire home to yourselves: both floors, the backyard and the pickleball court. Self check-in with a smart lock means you can arrive any time after 4:00 PM without waiting on anyone, and checkout is by 11:00 AM. Clear instructions arrive before your stay, and we usually answer messages within an hour. Please note the home has stairs between floors.
PARKING
Free parking on site in the two-car carport and driveway, plus free street parking. The Level 2 EV charger is mounted by the carport, so you can top off overnight. Bring your own adapter if your car needs one. The carport keeps it out of the rain.
