🎙️ 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.

Seller was easy to talk with and super helpful. Property was fantastic with beautiful views and all the amenities! We will defintely be back in the future
We had a women’s retreat here and loved every minute of our stay. Beautiful scenery, beautiful, comfortable house, and Lara is the best hostess. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. We will be back!
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!
This house is awesome it is big house. It has its issues expected with house of that age. But nothing that would not stop me from returning for another stay.
We had a great time at Lara’s Chateau. From booking to check out was a great experience. Lara was available any time I called her. A/C was not working in one part of the home and within a couple of hours she had someone out to fix it. We had 30 adults and children and there was plenty of room. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, etc. Pool table was a hit with the kids and adults. We had 11 vehicles plenty of parking spaces available. The only thing we missed was an outdoor area for the smaller children to play, but we found other activities to keep them busy. We will definitely rent again. Thank you for the great memories.
