Our family had another great time at Big Nate! The dock is great for our boat, with the ramp right in back of the cabin. The layout of this large cabin is perfect for the different generations of our family. The large covered back deck overlooks the lake and is so peaceful. Great vacation!
We have stayed here before and had a great time again. Since the olympics just started we did our own games and had medals and an awards ceremony. Just a lot of fun! Thanks for letting us stay here again.
Overall property itâs amazing! I wish there was better communication with property manager I asked how to turn on the the fireplace for Christmas and I never got a reply other than that overall it was great experience, I liked that there is a dollar general store across the street walking distance.Thank you.
The property is everything we asked for and more. We had all 3 cabins rented for a family lunch. The pavilion at Big Nate plus the area in all 3 backyards was perfect. We didnât let Hurricane Helene slow us down even though a lot of family stuck in S.C. and could not attend. Thank you Shirley!
House was big and roomy, loved the outdoor area. Only draw back was no TV, no internet, and no DVD player to watch movies late at night, other than that, loved it and would rent again.
We really enjoyed our stay at Big Nate's! Our family (ranging 80 to 8 years old) enjoyed the house and the property. We were even rained in one day, and there was plenty of room! We collectively decided we would like to return...but especially in the warmer months so we could take advantage of the water more!
Had a wonderful time with large family ranging from teen through senior citizens (including wheelchair).
The house was spacious and provided plenty of beds, bedrooms and bathrooms to give individuals space.
We spent time in the lake using the trampoline, slide and swimming off the dock. We rented kayaks and enjoyed the lake.
Response was quick when using the call feature in the app.
Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
Wonderful location! Our crew of nine plus 2 grand dogs had a great stay right on the lake. We rented a boat and docked it in our own dock. Swimming off the dock and trampoline was wonderful! If we ran out of anything we just walked over to Dollar General. Internet worked well for those who had to keep up with work. Downstairs bathroom toilet was a bit shakey but could be easily fixed. Over all, a 10 vacation!
The cabin is beautiful, great spaces, nice lake view located in great area. Need some repairs, the main bathroom toilet is not working properly (no water), main kitchen faucet handle sprinkle water when you open it , basement 2nd bathroom toilet is lose (it moves when you seat on it)
It was the coldest days of the year and the lake was frozen, but the kids loved breaking up the ice! It was perfect for our families that gathered at Christmas. When the water pipe busted because of the cold, the managers came right away and fixed it up so we could continue to stay. It would be perfect for summertime when you could enjoy the lake and swimming!
Because it was in November, we were looking forward to a blazing fire, but there was no gas. I paid in full 2 months early, why didn't we have gas? Too much needed to think the kitchen was proper, even though there was 2. Due to small steps, my 79 year old husband fell going downstairs and my 21 year old grandson fell from the loft. Bottom step was the problem. We had 8 people reserved, the kitchen table sits 4. Very noisy. Half of the chairs were broken. I almost fell over the first time I sat down. Even though we rented Ms. Natalie last year, this was so bad, I will never rent either again.
We have booked at this property many times and have found it to be a nice place to stay and visit family for our annual reunion. We have always had property manager, get back to us at a timely manner with any questions of concern. However, we had some water damage in the lower level from heavy rains. We left a voicemail on the owners number, and a message on Vrbo to have someone get back to us regarding this problem. We did not get any response via text or phone. We were more concerned for the damage if any at their house. Our personal belongings were intact without any damage. It was disheartening to know that they did not follow up on this with us as it couldâve turned out to be an unfortunate set of circumstances. We hope this constructive comment helps future guests as this really is a nice place to stay.
We loved the property! It is open and a friendly place to hang out. The porches were perfect expecially in the morning. It fit everyone comfortably. I loved that the lake house had two kitchens. Was very convient since we had so many people staying there. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The area with the fireplace and grill was a great place to hang out. The kids and adults enjoyed all the water toys. The only thing negative thing that I could say is that I wish it wasn't on such a busy road, as several of us liked to go walking. But you couldn't tell once inside the house or in the yard by the lake. We just had too much fun! Thanks and will definitely rent again if we get a chance!
Points faibles : Communication, emplacement et exactitude de lâannonce.
Unprofessional
One owner started yelling at my eighty year old Dad while he was sitting on the porch while the other Owner came in the house without warning or notice did not knock just walked in and said we need to know how many people are staying here. We did not exceed nightly occupancy. The owner also said it was a shared boat ramp we were blocking and we had too many vehicles parked on premises with the max being 4 for a 12 person cabin. The amenities are not as they are described and the owners were unfortunately rude. It ruined the last day we had. Some of the family left due to getting so upset at the confrontational approach that was used.
I shouldâve dove deeper into the reviews. We booked this property because the listing clearly states there are 6 satellite TVs, working internet, a pool table, and a swim-able lake. Upon arrival the TVs and Wi-Fi didnât work. This was important for my husbands line of work. We reached out to the owner she said, âthatâs never been the case.â However when we pressed her on the listing she said, âI donât know what to tell youâ and hung up on us. We called her back 7 times and no answer, full voicemail and no returned call. So we text her to at least find out how to set up the internet. No reply.
Because we checked in on a business day, we had to leave because we could not work. Additionally we couldnât stay because the lake was full of vegetation. You cannot swim off this dock or fish.
The worst part in all of this is that VRBO is basically saying, âthis is between you and owner.â But the owner will not return our calls. So the VRBO book with confidence is also a lie. Even though the property was misrepresented, they will not refund the booking. We have filed a claim with American Express.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS LISTING! Or VRBO for that matter. While you are their client, they will not protect you in a case like this.
Ripping people off is a sad way to live! Choose another property and do not use VRBO.
The cabin has a great layout and location, but when we got there the cleaning crew was still there an hour after check in, the house was smoked out from the oven being in cleaned, they left the sheets drying in the dryer, years of cobwebs were on the windows all the windows were left open and on in the bathroom would not lock , I had to tie the door shut for everyone to feel safe. I would rather nothing than to say anything bad but for the price of this cabin these things need to be addressed
We loved big Big Nateâs ! It had a lot of space , a beautiful dock , a ramp for your boat or jetskis and a nice flat driveway . We will definitely stay at this property again . We enjoyed nightly fires in the huge outdoor fireplace area too .
The view are beautiful! The lake, the mountains, the cabin, it was so nice. We (12 of us) stayed here for 5 days and was accommodated very well. Cabin completely stocked with everything you could ever need on 2 floors. Ready to go back again!!
Wanted to love it....but....not as advertised...misrepresented
Our family was very excited for this vacation, unfortunately we didn't stay 30 minutes at the property before leaving. 1) Location is on the corner of a busy intersection at the very southern most tip of the lake. That is a clue that when the water management authority reduces the level of the lake it is overgrown with plant life to the point the dock is unusable for swimming and fishing and the water is well, eewwww..... In addition, the water trampoline was not anchored in the lake as advertised. 2) Dock was missing several of the flotation devices under the walkway and ramp and the guardrails were worn and not secure. Several of the dock boards were in poor shape and generally felt unsafe for our children. 3) The exterior grounds were unkept with outdoor furniture that was in poor shape. There was trash on the property including an old washing machine and old conference room chairs under the porch. The grill was not near the house and frankly seemed on one of the adjacent properties. 4) The inside of the home was dusty, contained large spider webs in the windows in the den and had a musty smell. It was clear that the house had settled, with the significant level changes in the den. 5) Sheets in one of the bedrooms were stained and the upstairs fridge had several broken shelves. The toilet seat in one bathroom was also unhinged. 6) Owner was unresponsive when we contacted them after arriving. When they did respond they were difficult and resorted to berating. The only good thing we can say about the property is the inside of the home was orderly.
