NOT AS DESCRIBED
The photos on the websites are not updated, the room in the attic is completely different from the one in the photo, there are no closets, a TV under the bed, the coffee maker does not exist, the website does not say anything about it to the spring that crosses above the rocky road, I recommend traveling in high cars, mattresses with unpleasant stains, the cabin needs maintenance, thank you.

Weekend with friends
House is very cute. The dining table & coffee table are beautiful!!! There were 4 of us, but could easily accommodate 4-6 more. Mattresses could be replaced. Outdoor furniture needs cleaning. Living room tv stopped working. Overall we were pleased & enjoyed our stay.

The property was just like pictures showed. It was clean and comfortable. Had one small issue that resolved itself, but the property manager and the home owner both called and owner even came out to make sure everything was good. Very happy with our stay! Would visit again

Disappointed
Property was not very safe. Getting on and off of porch and dock was difficult. Missing smoke detectors. Old AC units in bedroom and closets. Leftover food on grill. Hornet infestation. Old scrape wood under porch. Tear in screen door. No lights going to dock. Road to house is hard to navigate in a car, there is a waterfall and creek that runs over the road. We rented the place because description said it was 1.4 miles from Tugaloo State Park, it was 14.5 miles from park. Underneath beds was dirty, there was an used insulin medical device under one bed.

Celebration of Life
We booked to attend my cousins celebration of life which was across the lake. It was nice to be that close! The house looked just like the pics on line. It’s a little hard to get down to the lake and back up. Make sure your in decent shape. The mattress on the master bed was not great, you sink into each other and it was very squeaky! There were huge carpenter ants all over the sink and bath area in the master bath. If bugs bother you, you would have RAN! We purchased RAID! The ants are not a reflection of the owners or management. Those type ants are as bad as termites and have nothing to do with cleanliness but with they live to eat wood!!

CARLOS T.

reviews are correct, read them carefully!
We had a great time and the communication with property manager was great. The cabin was well decorated with Christmas decor and lights. but I gave 3 stars overall because most of the things that were mention on the reviews as negative were not fix or corrected even we communicated with Andy a few weeks in advance. The place needs more maintenance. the worst thing is that the outdoor grill does not works properly. We could not grille a steak since the grille temp was to low. You will be good for a slow cook but don't think of having a nice sear on your steak. We had to cook our steaks on the stove since the grill was useless. The deck is cover with mold and it is very slippery. We had 3 slip and falls during our stay. It needs to be pressure washed. The fire place did not work and did not had gas. There was no wood logs for the outdoor fire pit. Just a pile of pieces of treated lumber that you should not burn due to the chemicals on them. The screens on the doors were broken/loose. The cook top on the range is crack and very dangerous during cleaning. The heater/ electric fireplace on the 2nd floor room was useless since it is operated with a control that was never found. The WiFi was useless. It only worked one time during our week stay. The second floor shower will not hold water and it will leak to the floor of the bathroom. We had to use the towels to hold the water. The KEURIG coffee machine does not work and the espresso machine is not working properly. It needs some cleaning. And the regular coffee machine did not had filters. We had to go out to the nearest town to get them. I will strongly suggest to bring your own if your are a coffee drinker. Found multiple cockroaches on the kitchen counter tops during cooking , unacceptable. 4 of the 6 chairs around the fire pit are broken or with loose boards. One of my kids got injured by this trying to sit on them.

Not a property for someone with mobility issues. Not recommended if pulling boat. Bring towels.
Inside clean & nice. Did not have enough towels & wash cloths. Air filters needed changing. Large ants in bathrooms. Listing said 4 cars. We had to back down inclined driveway in order to get 4 cars in & out. Requested early check in never received an email response. The rock steps entering the cabin need a hand rail & lighting. The steps down to the dock need another couple of steps. Quite an incline coming from dock. Would not recommend for someone with mobility issues. Gravel road entering. GPS had us entering crossing a creek on narrow one lane gravel road. Road in was overgrown with trees & grass, someone was bush hogging the day before we left.

Could be better
Came all the way from California and was highly disappointed with this property. Very dirty upon arrival. Sheets and mattresses are dirty, old and heavily stained. Loft bedroom couldn’t be slept in because it was too filthy. We washed everything and made it work. Beautiful view of the lake but the dock needs some work. Very nice dining table, it was the perfect size for our group. Grill didn’t work and outdoor seating wasn’t able to be used. Fire pit wasn’t able to be used. Lots of work to be done. It was Christmas. We were disappointed but I was with family.

Had a great time...needs some updates.
Pros: Great location, nice home, on the lake, and easy to clean up. Cons: Grill will not get hot. We had to briucks worth of meat and cook inside. Needs lighting on the steps going to back yard. Dock is in very bad shape. That could definitely lead to a bad accident. Overall decent place. Have stayed in much better for the price. No cable TV, that sucked for guys wanting to enjoy sports. Outside needs some work and a lot of clutter picked up. Did not feel like much effort was put in for the guest.
