The big chicken. Something that is featured in the "weird Georgia" book. It was built in the 1960s' by the owner, and is a great drive by "we saw that" thing to see.

What is it? Why, it's a giant chicken, 56 feet tall, built in front of a KFC in Marietta.

Why is it there? I have no idea.

Anything special? It's a giant chicken, that moves! On the side of the road, and you can also get lunch.

4-bedroom house / 2 suite. Total 3 amazing bathrooms Marietta with AC, WiFi

5/5 Excellent

Perfect!!! Would book again for sure!

"This house has been the best I’ve seen in a while based on what I’ve payed for. The host was very responsive and answered any questions that I had anytime I needed them. The pictures don’t even show how good this house is, you just have to see it for yourself. This house would nicely fit a good 10 people if you really wanted to. It had extra house keys just in case you stayed at least a couple days and multiple people needed to get inside. Every single room you walk into, there is a nice scenery and something to compliment with the master bedroom as the grand finale. Outside, there’s a trampoline, a couple grills, with a nice nice umbrella with LED lights just in case it gets a tad too dark outside. Once again, this house was GREAT and I give this 5 stars and would 100% book again."

Cozy place for family with kids

"We came for a few days with our two kids (1 and 3).

The neighborhood is very calm and has cutes birds and fireflies, again, great with kids. It is also well located, easy access to the main roads makes it a good place if you come yo visit the area"
