Communication with host and check-in/check-out process was super and easy. Our host was very responsive. The home had plenty of activities for all ages and a private dock to Lake Kerr. Corn hole, ping pong, pool table, basketball hoop, kayaks, paddle board, fishing poles and even an ATM to use on property. The deck outside the home was large with plenty of seating, a gas grill, blackstone and turkey fryer as well as an outdoor fridge.The home had plenty of space for a larger family gathering with a nice movie room downstairs in the gameroom. The home was comfortable and clean. The kitchen had plenty of pans/dishes for preparing meals.The house, being on the lake, is in a somewhat rural area so expect to see pileated woodpeckers (a treat for me) as well as other wildlife. It’s quiet and relaxing.As for shops nearby, if you make the trip into downtown Henderson I recommend George’s for pizza and Bearpond Fresh Market for your meats (yes, it’s in a gas station, but meats are top notch and affordable)!If ever back in Henderson, I would stay again!

My family and I enjoyed the location inside and out! We enjoyed the wildlife as well and the dock associated with the property. Inside the movie room and game room were highly utilized as well. The lake wasn't too far, multiple state parks and good local food as well. Overall a had a great time!

My family had an amazing time at the Kerr Lake Escape. The property is immaculately kept, very clean and accommodating. We were able to entertain ourselves easily with all of the amenities available there. I love the modern interior design and it's worth mentioning again that it was very clean. I look forward to staying at this property again.
