Cabin was nice and clean upon entering. It definitely exceeded our expectations and enjoyed every bit of our stay here. There was something for everyone to do regardless of age. Host was always quick to respond and made the check in/check out easy. Definitely would consider booking again if coming back to the area.

Hi Troy thanks so much for staying with us! We have 6 king beds, 8 queen beds bunk style, 2 daybeds, 2 trundle and 1 sleeper sofa. Thanks for the feedback!
Had an amazing time with family and friends staying in this beautiful cabin, beautiful lake view, such a comfortable cabin everyone staying enjoyed it very much and the host was fantastic and great at responding to questions quickly, highly recommend staying here.
House was wonderful for our corporate retreat. Great accommodations the terrace level game room was well used by all. Beautiful location and we would stay here again. Thanks again for host being communicative and making sure everything was taken care of.
Our host was terrific! Answered promptly and was so helpful and understanding. The Lodge was absolutely perfect, we had everything we needed. The views were amazing! Such beautiful property.
First of all, it’s in a beautiful spot. The lake and the view of the lake is nice to wake up to. The house has a very relaxed, chill vibe to it, which is good. It was comfortable. We all enjoyed our time there.
This house was truly amazing for a large group. There was so much space. We really loved the basement, the long dining room table, giant couch, the outdoor fireplace, and the kayaks/canoe for the lake. We can’t wait to come back!

Thank you so much for staying with us! We are so glad that you enjoyed all of the amenities!
Beautiful location and all the details were thought through! We loved using the kayaks. The porches were wonderful for enjoying the beauty of the location. Close to Blue Ridge and Elijay for fun outings. Would absolutely stay here again!
We stayed here for my wife’s 50th Birthday with 28 people. This home is amazing the views, amenities, recommendation for caters, florist. Everything was above and beyond expectations. Heather was an exceptional host and kept us up to date and always willing to help. All of my family and friends were planning the return visit before we left. Thank you so much
Beautiful home with "nothing" missing.Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly ever need. Baths had plenty of towels/washcloths as well as shampoo, conditioner and body wash.Covered outdoor area was one of our favorite places to enjoy. Picture perfect views!It was an amazing place for 8 siblings and their spouses!
The Lodge was perfect for our annual Friendsgiving trip!
