Nice getaway

Our family enjoyed the beautiful views from the sunroom and the quiet getaway. There was plenty of activities to keep the teens occupied. We enjoyed nearby mountain bike trails, games provided at the home, local dining and donuts. We left feeling very relaxed, and we would definitely stay again.

The house and accommodations were very comfortable. The sunroom with large dining table was perfect for a large family breakfast with beautiful views. I did notice a few small insects on the lower level but they may have entered with traffic in and out. Nothing a quick spray wouldn’t take care of. Lovely home!

Lake house in the off season

The property was clean and the photos were accurate. We enjoyed our stay. It had not been used in a while and it was past lake season so that could be expected. Dishes left in the dishwasher had mold. Starter supplies from the property management company were minimal and there were no left over condiments, food or supplies from previous renters. Note to property managers, there is damage to the dock, probably from Helene. We were refugees from the Asheville area immediately after Helene.
