🎙️ A Storied Past – The Historic Radio House
Originally built as a radio station, this property carries a fascinating history.
The station’s first call sign was WFDR-FM, the sister to WFDR AM 1370 in Manchester—named in honor of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose famous Little White House lies just minutes away in Warm Springs, Georgia.
Over the years, the property evolved through several identities—WQCK (1981) and WVFJ-FM (1983)—before becoming today’s one-of-a-kind retreat: Lara’s Chateau at The Radio House.

Summary: This place was a wonderful blessing and provided just enough room for my large family in a time of need as we desperately searched for replacement lodging after complications arose with our original reservations. My sister's wedding was the reason for our coming into town and this place made a beautiful backdrop for pre-wedding photos as well. Additionally, it was well stocked, tidy, and spacious with plenty of parking spaces. The owner was very communicative and quick to respond. I highly recommend this place, especially for large family reunions or gatherings seeking a peaceful escape with an amazing view!
