We spent a fantastic week in August with our grown children. We rented the owners boat and it was a wonderful plus to this rental. The pictures do NOT do this house justice. Our favorite part was the owners of the property you will meet the most amazing family when you stay here! We would never go anywhere else on lake glenville!

Owner response:Aw Shucks! We did have some good times! Can't wait to see you all again!

Amazing Cabin on Lake Glenville!

Date of Stay: 08/06/11 Review Submitted: 08/17/11

My family of 12 stayed in this beautiful cabin last week and enjoyed everything about it. It is in a truly beautiful setting on a part of the lake that is not high traffic-which was important to us with 7 kids. The house is incredible and very clean. It is situated perfectly inside so that even when you are indoors you have amazing views from every room. We came equipped with tons of food (the kitchen was well equipped to cook just about anything) and did not have to leave the house once for entertainment...the home and lake provided everything we needed for the entire week of our stay. The owners were great and very helpful. We also rented the boat they have available and although it was not necessary in order to enjoy the lake, it was great fun and we all enjoyed tubing and exploring the lake as well as visiting the waterfalls that flow into it. We also all took turns paddling out in the canoe and kayak and even around the small island that is just beyond the cove that the house sits in. The swimming was great-with no fear of anything in the lake at all. The water is warm and clean. All in all, this home is amazing and I can not think of one single thing that would stop us from renting it again in the future. We highly recommend it!

Owner response:Having the children's laughter was a delight to us! See you next year!

Best Vacation Ever

What a perfect vacation home for our large party of 12 including 7 kids between the ages of 3 - 15. The house was very nice and had plenty of spaces for everyone. We spent most of our time on the dock and lake - swimming, boating & fishing or on the back porch doing puzzles or on the middle deck relaxing. We loved the large family style table for dining & playing family games. The kids enjoyed switching sleeping spaces each night and we all loved having the windows open all week in the middle of August with the temperature cool & perfect! We all hope to come back again next year!

Owner response:Hope to see you next year!

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

Date of Stay: 07/09/11 Review Submitted: 08/02/11

We enjoyed spending our family vacation at this cozy yet spacious mountain cabin overlooking gorgeous Lake Glenville. Plenty of room for our three children and two guests---all college or high school aged--plus our golden retriever! It was great dining outside on the expansive and comfortably furnished back porch where we could enjoy the beauty of the woods and lake view. Renting the ski boat for tubing and water-skiing is a must; our time on the lake was fantastic. The owners were helpful and accommodating. Plenty to see and do in the area!

Owner response:Thank you for being wonderful guests. The boat has been added this year. Glad you enjoyed it.

Great Cabin

Date of Stay: 06/12/10 Review Submitted: 07/23/10

We had a fantastic time at the lake with our 4 kids and dog. The cabin is clean and well kept with amazing lake views. We have been in both the fall and summer and find both seasons have something great to offer. Fall foliage in fall and water sports in summer. The owners are friendly and happen to be right next door which can be very helpful. Great place!!!

Peace in the Mountains

My family and relatives were attending a wedding in Cashiers. We wanted something on a lake and Lake Glenville was conveniently located. This property was perfect as it provided for much privacy inside and great beauty outside. The cabin's furnishings had a real 'mountain' feel. We took full advantage of the canoe and kayak. I would highly recommend this property. The owners were great to deal with. This is the place!

My extended family (10 of us) enjoyed three nights at the lodge after Christmas. The lodge was very comfortable and well equipped. A beautiful lake view! We enjoyed a roaring fire and lots of family time! The owner is very helpful and accommodating. We would like to visit again during the summer so we can enjoy the lake.

Great place for a family vacation!

Our extended family of 11 spent a week here at Thanksgiving. There was plenty of room for us to be together but still have some privacy when we wanted it. The view of the lake from the large deck and from the dock was fantastic. There was so much to do -waterfalls are everywhere in this area. We were convenient to shopping, hiking, everything. The owner was a pleasure to work with. It was a fantastic vacation and we hope to return again some day.

Our extended family of 9 enjoyed our week in this mountain cabin. The dock is well equipped with a canoe and kayak and noodles to help you swim to the island. The water is spectacular. If you like to water ski this is a great lake. The kitchen had everything you needed and the beds were comfortable. My only caution is if you need to be connected to the web, this property will not work for your needs. But, the owner is trying to help you GET AWAY from it all and it is wonderful for that purpose!! We will go back again!!

Perfect Thanksgiving Retreat

Guest: lynkrad (Homer Glen, IL)
Date of Stay: 11/23/08 Review Submitted: 12/03/08

This lodge on Lake Glenville provided a perfect retreat for a family reunion on Thanksgiving. The house is very welcoming, and the view of the lake from the bedrooms and decks is outstanding. There was a bit of a chill in the air this time of year, but the house is warm and comfortable. The atmosphere is very peaceful, offering a great escape from the pressures of everyday life. We enjoyed the shops in Highland and Cashiers and the many good restaurants nearby. There is a large grocery store in Cashiers and we utilized the complete kitchen and a very nice grill on the covered deck. The owner is very accommodating and a pleasure to work with.

An unforgettable vacation

Date of Stay: 10/08/08 Review Submitted: 10/15/08

Lake Glenville is one of the most beautiful lakes my family has ever seen. October was an ideal time to be in this beautiful setting. We enjoyed hiking, playing on the docks, kayaking, canoeing, and taking a pontoon boat out on the lake. We also enjoyed bouldering and rock climbing a short distance from this lovely home. This is an excellent house for families. Thee lodge is very spacious and all the amenities of home can be found here. Our time spent here will be fondly remembered as one of our favorite family vacations.

We enjoyed spending Labor Day weekend with another family at this house. The home was large enough for 2 families and is a great home for children. This home is close enough to Cashiers, but far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet.
