Recent Lake Wedowee reviews
"My family & I had a great vacation here! The kids, ages ranging 5-15, enjoyed the kayaks, fishing & jumping from the dock countless times! The wii system & ping pong table were great at night & on the only rainy day we had while visiting. There was plenty of room for a large family to still have some private time. The home had everything we needed & more. We also got plenty of exercise going up & down the many, many stairs to the dock :) No complaints & we would definitely vacation here again."Guest: Courtney D. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 22, 2015View listing
"We just returned from a week at this beautiful house. We stayed 2 families, and at one point had 11 people staying in the house with plenty of room. The amenities here are amazing. We loved swimming and fishing off the dock in this quiet cove. We boated on this beautiful lake every day and absolutely loved using the 2 kayaks at the house. We had plenty to do for the whole week and wished we had more time. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The kids loved playing with the games and the ping pong table and the adults loved the screened in porch for the beautiful view of the lake. We cooked every night at the house and we had everything we needed to do so. We look forward to our next vacation at Lake Wedowee and staying at this perfect retreat!"Guest: Josie Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 25, 2015View listing
"This was the 2nd summer my brother and his family joined ours for a vacation at the lake. We had such a great time! My brother lives in AZ so we don't get to see them much. This house is the perfect place for large family gatherings. We all fit so comfortably and enjoy playing cards and hanging out. This year the fish weren't as kind to us but that's ok. Hopefully we will be able to do this again."Guest: Katherine S. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 24, 2015View listing
"My husband and I, along with our daughters and sons-in-law, just spent a week at the Bearfoot Lodge. We found the house and lake to be very relaxing. The boat was a great addition, giving us a chance to see the lake and swim in different places. My son in law enjoyed taking the boat out to fish each day, but only caught one small fish. This house is at the back of a small cove on the lake. The cove is lined with houses and docks. To see the main part of the lake, you must go down to the dock or out on the boat. When we arrived on July 4, there were people out at almost every dock and there were many boats and jet skis out on the lake. By Sunday evening, we had the cove and the lake to ourselves, and it stayed that way through the week. It was nice taking the canoe out early in the morning to enjoy the quiet of the lake. Getting the boat from the marina was very easy, as was using the gas link device in the basement to refuel. My daughters were somewhat disappointed that no tubing or skiing was allowed behind the boat, but this was clearly stated in the rules Don emailed to us. The house is nice and the pictures are accurate. The day we arrived, the air conditioning stopped working. I texted Andy, who was managing the rental for the summer, and he responded immediately and had someone out to look at it. Due to the holiday weekend, the AC could not be repaired until Monday, but Andy checked in with us to make sure we were ok. We really appreciated Andy's attention and quick response. The house has no internet or cable. We were aware of this before going. It was nice to spend time together as a family and play games, cook, read, and just talk. We also took many naps!! When we wanted to watch the World Cup final (and our hotspot did not work in the house) we went to the Mexican restaurant for dinner. We were not the only ones there watching the game! This is a nice, quiet, comfortable place to spend time with family. Thank you Don and Andy for being so easy to work with!"Guest: Elizabeth S.

Northrop Grumman Tackles Sustainability in Mississippi Facilities
Northrop Grumman is saving 95,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a year after a lighting retrofit, part of the firm's participation in the enHance program from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.
Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding's yards in Pascagoula and Gulfport, as well as the Ocean Springs-based Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems are taking part in the program at the steward level, reports GulfLive.
The enHance program has associate, steward and leader levels. Baxter International, Haworth and International Paper are involved at the leader level.
For its part, Northrop Grumman has created an environmental policy, is maintaining an environmental management plan, is organizing two voluntary projects that enhance the environment and is conducting a self-audit of its environmental impact.
The company has a recycling program, and it tracks its greenhouse gas emissions.
The firm is in the midst of building out a program to measure the reduction of its carbon footprint, said Northrop Grumman spokesman Bill Glenn.
The aforementioned lighting retrofit involve swapping out 1,200 incandescent lamps with 20-watt fluorescent bulbs.
