Personal Attention
The property was just as we wanted. The owners went over the top to make our stay comfortable. Since it was Thanksgiving, they made sure we had banking pans, plenty of storage containers, foil, wrap and related. Treats were welcomed as well as the K cups. The kitchen was excellent, there was not a single pot, pan, utensil and related that we were looking for. The waterfront "toys" were a hit with the children, an unexpected bonus.

Beautiful house and location
My NC and TN family joined us for a long weekend at the property and we had a great time. The house is spacious and beautiful, and is on a quieter part of the lake, but still close enough to local marinas and restaurants to make it convenient. We all enjoyed it very much.

Amazing home with some nice surprises
This place was fantastic and the owners were very responsive to our questions. The home was well equipped both inside and out. We really enjoyed the lake and boats that were part of the rental. The best part of our visit was finding the secret waterfall... Amazing
