We had a great time at Bannister Cottage, kids had so much fun at the lake. The screened porch was perfect for dinners and for relaxing with the lake view. The house is stocked with absolutely everything you need. We had an issue at the property and Alise went above and beyond solving it, she truly cares for her guests.

We enjoyed the cottage and it was as described in the listing. It was very well stocked, and there is spice cabinet in the kitchen. Very clean and comfortable. My family also enjoyed the kayaks and spent several hours down on the floating dock. It was a wonderful stay!

We rented this house for a weekend getaway before the end of summer. We were so pleased with the location, the home and the lake access. We rent homes in this area every year for our family and this one by far is our favorite. It is extremely easy to get to (right off of I85). It is decorated beautifully and super clean. We enjoyed the screened in porch the most. We brought our boat and used the dock to enjoy the lake. The climb is steep but the wooden steps and landings make it easy to take a break when needed. I would highly recommend any family renting here. We will be back as soon as possible.
