MOUNTAIN VIEW SHORES is a lovely development with many year-round homes, it features a private boat ramp area where you may park your boat trailer for the duration of your stay. It has paved roads and central water system. Ideal for walkers and joggers. Lake location is supreme being near the mountain and the dam at the deepest, cleanest part of the lake. The land was originally owned by the Appalachian Power Company (which owns the lake) and a group of 10 investors from Bedford bought the land from the Power Company in the late 1970's and developed the subdivision comprised of over 400 lots, offering the land for sale one section per year, selling out in 4 years.

Great Property With a Couple of Quirks

Pros: Pet friendly, very clean, comfortable beds, plenty of space, right on the lake, great view from the deck, kayaks and life jackets provided, accurate pictures in listing, hot tub was clean and worked well, fire pit was nice, grill worked well and was new. Cons: You have to rent the sheets and towels for an extra 150. When we got there, we had to make the beds because there were no sheets on them. I thought that was weird and inconvenient after a 10 hour drive. Why not just charge 150 more and then have sheets on the bed? Check in is at an office that is a few miles from the property. Doors have keys and not codes meaning when you leave you have to return the keys to the office.

Nice location. Beautiful Home

We had a wonderful stay even though hurricane Debby brought rain for a day. The house is beautiful. Very spacious. The kitchen is well stocked. There were plenty of water toys to keep the kids happy. They especially liked the paddle board. They liked playing foosball, too. It was very convenient to have a community boat dock right around the corner. There is a nice screened sun porch. The hot tub holds 7 people and worked very well. Our dog is afraid to jump off a dock, so it was nice that there were wooden steps off to the side for a gradual entry. All in all excellent vacation spot.
