Grateful for such relaxation
Looking for a relaxing but large enough space to accommodate a few family members (king size beds would be great!) an end of life ceremony. Space is amazing and communication is top notch - We plan to visit again!

Great vacation for kids!
We highly recommend this to families! The interior of the house is a clean, casual and easy to get comfortable in. The sunroom is awesome - we spent every morning and evening there, catching the sunrise and sunset. The BEST part is this backyard --- beautiful grass leading right up to the dock. We couldn't keep the kids out of the water! We popped by other rentals that our family was using - this one was for sure the best location if you're looking for a lake vacation.

Fantastic!
Fabulous property- Uber clean and well stocked with everything we needed during our week stay. Loved being right on lake with fishing and fire pit! Nicely appointed kitchen, comfy beds - all the comforts of home. Thank you for hosting us - you made my daughter’s college graduation a fantastic memory. We cannot wait to come back. Extra shout out for being kind to return the items we forgot to pack…

When can we come back?
We really enjoyed the property. Our kids fished off the dock. We caught a small fish and had a lot of bites and nibbles. We found a boat rental of a neighbor on the lake. We were close to Asheville and major attractions. The property was quiet. We loved the sunroom and playing darts. The rooms were good sizes. Beds were comfy. It felt like a home-away-from-home. We would love to come back.

Great Lake House
Clean house with lots of space. Great spot on the lake. Caught a nice catfish in limited time fishing. The surrounding area is very nice. This place was perfect. We have 5 adults and had plenty of extra space.

Great House & Great Location
We loved the house on the lake. It was plenty big enough for my family of 7. We caught many catfish on the doc while enjoying the fire pit. I would recommend this property!

Quiet, safe, relaxing ... but that neighbor ...
We had a wonderful weekend. The sunroom is perfect and relaxing. Plenty of places to sit and sleep for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to prepare meals in (mainly breakfast). I liked the water and ice feature in the refrigerator. The lake was quiet, almost too quiet, we hardly saw anyone at all. It was chilly so we were inside most of the time, and gone during the day. 2 Dollar General stores within 3 miles for all basics, and an Ingles grocery store (it was HUGE) less than 10 minutes away. We were close to everything we needed. We used the fire pit on New Years eve and it was great until the neighbor blasted us with their flood lights, so that was not the fault of the home owner. It literally looked like there were about 10 flood lights on when we were roasting marshmallows and trying to enjoy the quietness of the lake and the stars. The tub in the middle bathroom is GREAT, but the hot water runs out if you try to fill it up so only use it when no one uses hot water for about 4 hours (washer, dishwasher etc). The arm ramps in the tub made for a nice relaxing soak. The shower heads were great. There were plenty of towels- more than any rental I have ever been in. The sheets were all soft and comfortable as was all the bedding. The picture on the walls were nice. I felt very much at home and relaxed. The place was not overdecorated which is another plus.
