Wonderful property, incredible views. The host was fantastic. The A/C system went down on a Saturday night. I notified the host Sunday morning (Labor Day week-end). A service tech arrived before noon and fixed the problem. How great was that...
The overall description was very accurate. We enjoyed our stay. The home was very cozy and welcoming. very clean. Do pay attention to the description of steep steps down to lake. But,overall perfect.
Perfect getaway on the lake. Private with a dock and ramp access within 5 minutes. Crazy huge shower, comfy bed and tv in living room and main bedroom. Looking forward you staying there again.
I booked for our Anniversary, my brother and his partner joined us for a couple of nights and my former brother in law and his wife joined us for a couple of nights. Setting was perfect for catching up and relaxing.
The property is very hard to find even with GPS. No house number or mailbox identifier. Drive way drops off steeply from Walker Point Road and there is nothing to indicate a VRBO is down the road. The house could have been much cleaner. Dust was obvious under sleeper sofa. Sheets did not smell clean. Several glasses had to be scrubbed to remove a film inside of them. The house is nice. The view and location are great. I have stayed at a lot of VRBOs and never seen political statements so prominently displayed- not appropriate. The stay was nice.

Beautiful lake to visit.
Great stay for the price if you dont mind a steep walk to the dock. Close to the main road which is convenient but you do hear the traffic from the deck. Fairly clean but lived in with pets, but were use to that. Needed some landscaping around the house and on the steps to the dock. Beautiful lake area.
Had an awesome time here, great location with dock, 4 mins to boat ramp. Beautiful views and nice layout! Property needs some minor tlc but better than we imagined and truly a great value for the money. Overall clean and pet friendly. Plenty of room for multiple couples/friends or a family. Will stay here again. Cool personal decor kinda refreshing compared to most random thrown together Vrbos/bnbs.
We fell in love with this place from the moment we drove in. Ruby Beth made this a welcoming retreat from our everyday life. This is no cookie cutter rental property. We felt like we were staying at a friends' home. The view, the property and the lake made this a favorite place for us!Whether you like hiking, boating or swimming, it has it all. The sunsets are incredible, and the location is conveniently close to town.
Pictures did not do this listing justice. Property was much better than expected. Views of the lake and mountains were great. House and swimming area were very private, which is what we and our Aussie were looking for. Loved it.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The home was adorable and just what we were looking for. Had all the amenities of a home. If you’re looking for something that resembles a fancy five star hotel, then this isn’t the place for you. We were traveling with dogs and kids and just wanted somewhere cozy that we felt comfortable. This was perfect for us! Nice big back deck with a beautiful view! The walk to the lake was a little steep, but the dock was nice and big and the kids LOVED jumping off and swimming with the beautiful mountains in the background! Would definitely stay again!
This was a great little house, dock , and trip. Our only complaint was the overall cleanliness of the place. Inside and out needs maintenance and repairs and a detailed cleaning but other than that the location and description was accurate. Driveway needs the 911 address posted to better locate and incase of an emergency. Not the worst place we’ve been would definitely consider staying again .
I really liked this house and would definitely return. We have a boat, and it was not very far to get to the boat ramp - and the dock at the house was perfect. It was large and had plenty of room for all our water toys and plenty of space to relax and enjoy. It was nice to be at the end of a private cove for swimming and playing in the water.
The owner was extremely responsive, kind and helpful. One of the best I have ever worked with when renting properties (and I've rented a bunch.)
The house was welcoming and lovely. The pictures and description were very accurate - no surprises.
A great place for a lake vacation!
The location is amazing. The home just needs so TLC. Loved the decks and dock. The kitchen really needs organized and someone to throw out expired items from the refrigerator. The linen closet also needs organzing. Please take some time and organize things and CLEAN! If you are considering this rental bring pillows, towels and washcloths because they are lacking. Also bring clorox wipes because you are going to need them! Loved the location and set up but its dirty!
House: lots of room, good wifi and T.V. Bed were comfortable with good liens. Lacking towels only had 3 and no wash cloths. Small yard, but enough to walk doggos, nice deck. Had a great sunset one night.
The dock is nice and large, we used the swim ladder to get into our floats to swim and to get into/out of our kayaks.
Lake: Very warm water looked clean, but visability is low due to depth, no actual kayak launch or shore access. if you go to the right of the dock (from the water) their is a place that is more swimmable as it has a short shore area, also directly across the dock is a small beach with a small area to swim before it drops off. About a half mile 20-30 minute kayak row, there is an Island, Merry Island I believe: with the best swimming area has a beach with sand and can swim out aways before it drops off.

Thank you so much for your review and I'm glad the place worked out for you. We'll be sure to put more towels and wash clothes out in the bathrooms going forward (extras are in the linen closet.)
Please ignore the negative comments about this house. It was lovely - lived in and homey. Killer view, Killer location. Great dock. Nice kitchen. Very private. It was like walking into your friends house and feeling at home right away. The hosts have chosen to leave their personal items - food, booze, pictures, etc. up and out. There was even a $20 bill under a magnet on the fridge. I'm guessing their philosophy is all about sharing and trust, which I think in today's world we need more of. You can tell they are welcoming, inclusive and loving people by the wifi password alone! And for us, that meant the house had a great energy and added to our experience. If you want to spend your day floating on the lake, reading on the deck, or cruising around the beautiful mountains of North Carolina/Georgia, you can't do better.

Just ok.
The house was not exactly what tge pictures looked like. Could not see much of the lake because the trees has not been cut in years, blocking your view. No cushions on lounge chairs, & bees nest in umbrella. Deck was dirty, needs pressure washing & at least swept!
House was very uncomfortable to say the least. Soap in soap dishes in both bathrooms, if I hadn’t been so grossed out, I would’ve thrown them away! Dead plants all over the house. Cob Webs, don’t think house had been cleaned in some time!! Very uncomfortable to sleep in bed. Personal pictures everywhere, we felt like we were intruding. I could go on, but to say the least, we will be Leary of VRBO from now on. This place was not worth the money. Very disappointed.

Thanks for you thoughts on our home. While we love the lake views and water access we also do love our trees. Since we are road adjacent we particularly like the privacy they provide. We do not have plans to cut down any trees at this time. We apologize for not letting you know where to find the cushions for the outdoor sofa. We keep them in the garage in case of rain so they are not water logged when people arrive. We’ve tried putting a tarp over the sofa but some folks thought that was unsightly. As for the cleaning we have spoken to the wonderful folks who clean our home and have made some adjustments. We are privileged to hire local young people who started their own business for our cleaning needs. They are learning and growing in their professionalism and really appreciated the specific feedback. They have since pressure washed the deck, tossed old soap, and deep cleaned for cobwebs. Since this is our home and not an investment property, we do keep personal photos around.
I am sorry that you were so disappointed and we hope your next vacation is more restorative.
Again, thanks for taking the time to let us know.
Perfect place on the water, very average walk down to the dock for a mountain lake, house was clean and empty, host responded to every question I asked. Dock in pic’s has been replaced and has a new party deck. 10/10 will be staying again if available!
