July Vacation 2011

Our family had a great time at the "Narrows Escape". Weather was really cooperative. The House was really nice in the upstairs and loft areas and the screened in porch was fantastic. We really got our workouts walking up and down the driveway to the boat house and lake area. The neighborhood dogs were great. The dogs lead a group from our family to the falls. Chris and Phyllis (owners) were wonderful. We rented a pontoon boat for the week and had a ball on the lake. Our grandkids loved fishing off the Boat House dock and caught a lot of Bream. It takes about 15 minutes to get from the Narrow to the main body of the lake so be patient. Overall we would definitely recommend staying at the "Narrows Escaped" and look forward to getting back there next year. The Palmer Family.

My friends and I had a great time here. Lots of room, very spacious, clean and has all the modern features without losing any of the coziness of a cabin. We cooked so it was great to have a kitchen with all the necessities.

We stayed up here for a wedding weekend and truly had a wonderful experience. The house is beautiful, well stocked, and has one of the most amazing porches we've ever seen. Also be sure to check out the master shower. Great time and can't wait to go again!

We truly enjoyed our week in your wonderful home on Lake Rabun. Beautiful and had all the comforts of home! Enjoyed serene mornings drinking coffee and late afternoons after a fun day on the lake watching the sun go down and listening to nature on the awesome screened porch. Perfect get away for our family and our children and their friends. Plus plenty to do to enjoy the area if we wanted to venture out. Can't wait to go back next year!! Thank you for all you did to make this week memorable for us. It was a pleasure working with you.
Owner response:Thanks so much for the kind words. Glad you and your family enjoyed Narrows Escape!

My family had a wonderful time at the lake in your house. We love Lake Rabun and loved the location and layout of the house. The location is in a peaceful section of the lake in the no-wake zone, and just a short boat ride to the main part of the lake. The best parts were the lovely wrap-around porch and stereo that allows music to be played outside and inside the house. Nice touch. We also loved that it was close to Minnehaha Falls and visited there several times.This is a great place for adults and kids. We hope to return one day. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. It is beautifully appointed, spacious, and exceeded our expectations. In addition, working with you was a pleasure. You were helpful, friendly and added much to our experience. From enjoying our morning coffee on the screen porch to watching the sunset at the boathouse, it was relaxing and fun..,just what we needed after leaping over fire at the 2010 Warrior Dash race! The house is convenient to everything: waterfalls, hiking, water activities, restaurants, stores. You provide so much in the house, you make it easy to "move in". We were particularly impressed with the kitchen - I felt like I was in my own house, with every utensil, gadget and dish we could want. Our roasted veggies, grilled pears and berry granola came out perfect! We had a wonderful time! :)
Owner response:I'm so glad you had a good time! Remember us for the 2011 Warrier Dash!
