Beautiful lake house!

We enjoyed our stay at this lake house. It is quiet and secluded. The check in and out process was quick and easy. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. It looked exactly like the pictures.The owner/ manager checked to make sure we found it and were able to check in. He also contacted us after we left to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We would recommend this house to our friends.

Great property!! Pics don't do it justice. We enjoyed our stay and had everything we could possibly need. Day was a great host and checked in with us often. Even the most random questions were answered very quickly and Day was super helpful with questions not relating to the property. The view from the master is beautiful. We will stay here again. Thank you Day!!

Love love love is all i can say

We rent vrbos all over the US . We enjoyed this property probably the best. It was nice and quite and very relaxing and clean. The driveway is a little steep but your stay makes it all worth the driveway. The property management was quick to respond to answer questions. Literally responded within 5 minutes. The outside photos does no justice at all for this property. Inside is a farmhouse cabin setting. They spared no expense when it came to decorating for your comfort. I can tell you that if your reading this review dont hesitate BOOK NOW you will love it. We will be back

Beautiful mountain retreat

Two couples spent three beautiful days enjoying fresh air, fishing, casino visits, local exploring and eating! Great location for local exploring. Fontana Dam was a great afternoon trip, comedy club at the casino rounded out the day! The private docks on the property were a little unsteady, but totally safe! Internet connectivity was not at all reliable, but that was clearly disclosed. We did not have a single complaint on the house, it totally met our expectations! Front porch sitting was the best!
