My family & I really enjoyed our stay at Lakeview! The cabin is beautiful, with lots of space & lots to do! We spent many hours playing games, hanging out at the fire pit or on the porches, & in the hot tub. The beds were comfy with many pillows & blankets available. We enjoyed the neighborhood & took many walks around it. We also loved the speakers on the porches that were blue-tooth enabled. It’s secluded & quiet, but also very close to lots of fun, restaurants, & stores. Our favorite place to visit was Valle Crucia community park! It was wonderful for the kids (and adults!) to play in the creeks, play soccer & basketball, play on the playground equipment & swings, & ride their bikes around the paved trails! It was only a few minutes drive from the cabin. Plus, the very cute Mast General Store was just in front of the park. We also drove past this further up the mountain & stopped at multiple “overlook” areas with spectacular views & picnic spots.
We saw so many deer each morning around the lake & close to the cabin! The kitchen was very well-stocked. We enjoy cooking, so we appreciated that so many small appliances & many pots & pans were available. The tv’s were set up with all the streaming apps, making it easy to watch movies together on the comfy couch! Two small things to be aware of are that the master bathroom’s tub is difficult for shorter or older people to step into. It’s very high. And with that being the only bedroom on the main floor, older relatives may have a hard time staying at this cabin. If that’s not a concern for you, though, you’re good to go! Also, the lake was very muddy & smelly during our stay. Not sure if that’s because we were told there’s been a lack of rain in the area (although it rained daily while we were there), or the hot weather, or another problem. We weren’t able to enjoy it much because it was very smelly with many dead fish floating in it each time we’d walk near it. It was not clear & pretty like in the photos. That was the only disappointing part of our stay.
We highly recommend Lakeview cabin & plan to stay again in the future!
