Fabulous setting for family lake fun!
Host thought of everything! Spacious home with many cozy spots to gather and have fun! Three large porches, family dinners, coffee by fire pit table, hot tub, movies, games. Lake access was perfect for swimming and ski boat dock. Rented ski/wake boat from Boundary Water nearby and had a blast with water sports!

Beautiful home!
We visited here to celebrate a birthday. We had the best time. The house is beautiful and they have thought about everything. The kitchen is very well stocked and there so many areas of the house you won't feel cramped at all. Great time and highly recommend!

Well Appointed
The house and property were very clean and enjoyable to stay at for our nine adult family during the Thanksgiving holidays. We had family gather from across NC and stayed for three nights. The house has a lot of amenities to entertain everyone as we rented off season when the lake levels were low and it rained for two days. House has plenty of space to move around and parking was good for our adult family. You are close to town if you need to run to pick up something but you definitely feel you are away and can enjoy the scenic area of the mountains and lake area. We enjoyed getting away to see Helen Georgia one afternoon. Fenced in area was a plus for our dog. Everyone enjoyed the sunroom overlooking the lake, hot tub, fire pit and hanging out on the porches each night. Plenty of kitchen ware on hand. We fed 13 people (more family that came for the day) Thanksgiving dinner with ease.. We would recommend booking this property.

Great house
Beautifully decorated home, great entertainment amenities. Kitchen was a little lightly stocked with cooking untinsil, (bacon tongs, a few other things that cant quite remember) but you can make due. My personal only thing that I had issues with was just at the top of the paved driveway where it turns to gravel their is a little drop off so if your not in a suv or truck you may be a little to low. Not at all a deal breaker for me. Once I knew, I knew to navigate it right. The parking area is very large witch is a plus for several travlers. Over all for us it was a great stay! Family memories made! And that's always a ✔️!

Beautiful lake home
The house was amazing and so peaceful. My nephew fell in love with the loft/playroom. The hot tub with the projector was also his favorite. My family and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lake home. Will definitely book again in the future.

Lake was dried up
The cabin was nicely renovated with a beautiful back porch area. However, it would have been nice to know that the lake (we planned on fishing) was dried up/dammed. It was a large mud pit around the dock and no water. Also, as stated in previous reviews the driveway was a challenge. The area leading to the house was a little run down and the house was right next to a graveyard. These are all things that had we been advised we would have chosen a different house. The biggest issue was the lake. It was made clear to have a fishing license (we did)- it was not made clear that the lake was dry in this location during this time of year. Again beautifully renovated home!!

Hi Kat, we want all of our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we're sorry that you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and we wanted to share the following: - We always strive to provide all the information before booking to ensure guests find the perfect vacation home for their needs, and we sincerely apologize we missed the mark. The listing description states that due to regulated water levels, the dock is only suited for canoes and paddleboards from mid-September to the beginning of April. However, we will update the description to ensure guests are aware the lake is drained at certain times of the year. - There are two driveways available for guests' parking convenience. The driveways can fit eight vehicles, and there is trailer parking allowed on-site. - We include a map on our listing so that guests can see the approximate location of the home and surrounding area prior to booking, but we apologize that this caught you off guard. Thanks for letting us know about your stay!

Family Fun
We had 10 family members stay in this beautiful home. Something for everyone to do. Games & toys for kids. Jacuzzi was a nice addition. The large porch was the area area we spent most of our time playing games, watching TV, reading a book and eating our meals. It was chilly on the porch the heater & fireplace warmed the porch nicely. I had a couple questions for the owner she replied immediately. The driveway is very steep and turning into the driveway is tricky. After conquering the steep driveway I asked the owner if we could use the other gate access she said yes. I highly recommend using this entry. The house is kitchen stocked with everything you’ll need. Beds were comfortable. I love 3 bedrooms have kings size beds. My only suggestion would be to have a few more dish towels for kitchen. The house is inviting and comfortable.

Beautiful Cabin!
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It is very pretty and we enjoyed how it laid out. Especially the little loft in the family room - my brands loved climbing the ladder to hang out in their own little place with us sending up snacks in the pully connected bucket!! Such a cute idea. My only suggestion is to make sure that those renting the cabin know about the driveway! We were a bit shocked at the steepness and a little nervous of our SUV making it up the hill. We did of course, but it would be better to have known this before showing up. Other than that little detail, the place is amazing and we had a great time staying here.

Girls Trip!
Beautiful decor inside and outside. We enjoyed every inch of the place, especially the porches. Lake was too low for us to enjoy dock and water craft. The only suggestion would be to make sure guests know ahead of time to expect the driveway leading to the house to be a bit tricky.
