Nov 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice little getaway place! We rented the house for the weekend as we had an event to attend. We brought the family and two small dogs. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The lake was very nice and although we didnā€™t have time to fish, it looks like a nice place to relax and catch a few. The fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs. We didnā€™t have to worry about them running off. There are neighbors nearby but we never saw or heard them. Restaurants arenā€™t far away in Gilmer either if you donā€™t feel like cooking. If youā€™re looking for a no frills type of place to stay, Iā€™d definitely recommend it. ##### Joshua F. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eileen M.

Jun 14, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Lake House The locariom was great unless you wouldnlike to swim. This is not a swimming lake. We caught a lot of fish though. The backyard is good for pets but not great for kids. The playplace is very old and not as pictured. The dock area is not near as clean as the pictures. It is very grown up and not well kept. The house is cozy and pretty clean. Bring bug spray the mosquitos and flies are terrible! Overall, not a bad place to stay just be aware of previous info especially if you bring kids. Owners invited tree guys over during our stay and interrupted our vacation, but we spoke about it and hopefully it was a learning lesson. Thanks for letting us stay! ##### Meghan S.

Jun 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic weekend getaway This quaint property was just what we needed for the weekend. There was ample space and the proximity to the lake was amazing. We caught plenty of fish and the neighbors were awesome. There was a slight hiccup in the beginning because I arrived MUCH earlier than anticipated, but the owners and manager were MORE than accommodating. They jumped up at the drop of a dime to make sure we were accommodated, comfortable, and satisfied. Hands down, the best part of the trip was their communication and diligence. Itā€™s was great doing business with such good people. They genuinely cared that we were happy. The only con was all of the scary, creepy crawling bugs. But as long as you donā€™t bother them, they wonā€™t bother you. šŸ™ƒ Overall, we had a great trip and are already planning to revisit. ##### Lavaya J.
