I think expectations are huge here whether or not you will be happy. I've traveled 5 star all the way down. This is not The Biltmore, do not expect luxury. This place reminds me of an old family fishing camp. That being said, we were pleased. We wanted to travel with our dogs and we thought we might use the canoe and enjoy the property. Weather did not permit but it was a nice view. The gate is not automated, so don't expect to plug in a code and drive through. The floors slump and creak. There is no central hvac. The kitchen and bath may be original. That being said, we enjoyed the fireplace immensely and the gas heater kept us from freezing to death at night. The water pressure was great in the shower and all of the basics were available to us. We traveled to Saluda Sunday morning and took in the fall foliage along the way for what was one of the best meals of my life, brunch at Newman's located at The Orchard Inn. Timberlake is in the middle of everything but secluded. You will hear traffic but you won't see much of it and with the property gated and fenced we felt safe with our furry ones running about. The Fresh Market grocery chain around the corner has great food and we enjoyed lobster tails one night and a dill salmon another night. There are plenty of games and after dinner my husband and I tested our logic with Mastermind while sipping a toddy in front of the fire. If you prefer to eat out there are many options from chains to local joints. There were a few negative reviews that I can see where they may have been disappointed and have some legitimacy so make sure you are booking a property that meets your expectations and you'll have a wonderful stay - I know we did.
