On top of the world
Literally, this house is on top of a hill. The view over the lake was beautiful!!! My family reunion was spent in a 4 bedroom home that was all we could've asked for. We had a game room upstairs that we enjoyed. Our plans were to stay in the house and talk all weekend but we ended up at the marina and enjoyed shopping and sitting by the water talking about old times. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend.

Lovely secluded property! Great beds!
We had a great weekend getaway at The Lookout! There were 8 adults and we all loved the property. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable (and firm) the king bed was! We hate soft beds. Everyone else said the beds were great too. The ice maker and fridge were remarkably cold which we were a pleasant surprise (a rental with a good ice machine?! Wow!). I also read a review that the deck was dangerous which i totally disagree with. It was weathered, but structurally sound 100%. I dont know why people thought it wasn't sturdy. We saw no bugs inside whatsoever which is hard for a house set in the woods. The grill worked well, the AC worked really well upstairs and down, hot tub was super hot, honestly everything exceeded our expectations for a cozy, relaxed rental! If i had any critiques, one couch was quite old and worn and the outside trash cans might be small for an extended stay or lots of guests. We really had a great time and were so pleased with everything! Thank you for a great time!

Dangerous Adventure
The house wasn't clean and it had huge cockroaches The balcony is old and dangerous. the dog walked on the balcony and it shook. Underneath the balcony the foundation/ beams are split in many places. We submitted photos. THE BEDS WERE THE WORST. We left early due to our aching bodies from the springs in the mattress ALL OF THEM! The ceiling fan light fell down and almost hit me in the head. I was offered a refund then the cost went up so they don't want to give hardly anything back. Sad Bad Business

Very fun
I loved the views and the house had a lot of fun things to do. We loved the pool table and hot tub. House is close to the city but very remote. Communication with property manager was easy and fast. There were some broken/loose furniture and the deck didn’t look too safe.

Perfect size for my family
Nice stay for a family of 8 adults and one dog! As noted in some of the reviews you can hear the road but it wasn’t a bother. The spacious second floor was comfortable and it was easy to prepare meals and eat together. We visited the Appalachian Center for Craft galleries and Harmony Lane Farm. I highly recommend both of those places.

Fun family getaway
We stayed here with our four kids (ages 7-15) for fall break. The location was great and the views are beautiful. We enjoyed the fire pit( although it would have been nice if there was a lighter in the house to light it- we used the grill to light a stick then get the fire going). The kids were in the hot tub every day and we all enjoyed the pool table. The back bedroom to the right past the stairs when you walk in could use a new mattress. It was way too soft, and sunk in toward the middle. Overall, we had a great time and would come back again.
