My three adult brothers, my father, and I flew into the area from around the world to celebrate my brother’s college graduation and we needed a place to stay. This house was perfect! It is on a gorgeous lake, with both a second story screened porch and a deck to enjoy the view. Down the stairs is the lakeside patio, beautifully landscaped, with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs (great for family photos with the azaleas in bloom!).
Inside the house there are so many surprising amenities! The furnishings are warm, inviting, comfortable, and luxurious without feeling pretentious. The beds were firm but soft; there were different pillows available to suit your needs, and the bedding rivaled that of a fine hotel. I slept like a baby! Even the toiletries were high end. The kitchen had high quality cookware and knives— two things that rentals typically skimp on. There was a pantry of staples available for our use (thanks for the hot cocoa!) and we were greeted with a generous basket of smore fixings. Check In and check out were super easy and the host was immediately responsive when needed. One brother left his coat and sunglasses at the House and the host arranged to have them shipped to me — what amazing service! I’ve stayed in a lot of home rentals in this country and around the world (with a larger family, we much prefer a house over a cramped hotel room) and this house was definitely one of the best.
