Our family had a wonderful stay at this lake house! It was the perfect spot for our large group—plenty of space for everyone to spread out, but also great gathering areas for meals and games. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the views of the lake were beautiful, especially at sunset.We loved spending time on the deck and by the water—great for both relaxing and making memories together. The host was responsive and made check-in easy, which we really appreciated.Overall, it was an ideal place for our family getaway, and we’d definitely stay here again!
We had a great stay at this property! Property is well maintained and great layout for a group. Loved the patio for just hanging out. 100% recommend this house if you are in area!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re glad to hear the property worked well for your group and that you enjoyed relaxing on the patio. We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to host you again anytime you're in the area, Hamilton!
The property was very clean for our large group. Outdoor sitting area was very spacious. We had enough towels/linens to accomodate the group. Only issue we had was power outage in bonus house. Owners communicated and came out to address issue. We really enjoyed our stay on the lake.
Family planned a trip to the Charlotte area to visit the Whitewater Rafting Center. We also wanted a nice place where we could spend some time together as a family central to all of us from different states. The location was great, the house was nice and clean and communication with the management company was quick and easy. The kids enjoyed swimming in the lake and the views were terrific. The house fully served our purposed for the short trip. Thanks for hosting us!

We booked this retreat for my finances 30th birthday! From the planning stages of this trip, to our arrival day, the hosts were amazing with communication and addressing all our questions! Everyone loved the house and it was left in great condition for our arrival. The description of the property being a “retreat” is spot on! The landscaping is beautiful, and everyone enjoyed the paddle boards in the morning. The rooms were spacious and all beds were incredibly comfortable! I would highly recommend booking this space
Great property with lots of fun activities. Lots of steps so groups with odler people beware. Other than that it was a wonderful experience!

Family Labor Day Get Away
The house was perfect for our family and we had plenty of room! There was a lot to do on the property and in the lake. We enjoyed our stay very much!
We found we did not have enough linens, and we were glad we brought our own beach towels.
We had a lot of issues getting in the gate, and we were glad the maintenance man was there to let us in.
We had a big issue with upstairs shower leaking in the downstairs shower, and the bathroom in the extra house had mold in it.
The WIFI wasn’t very stronger for a house of 12 people.
There wasn’t a coffee pot and we ended up buying one and leaving it at the house for the next renters. The Keurig wasn’t what we typically use, but we like a brewed pot.
Overall it was a great vacation and we were pleased. This is just some constructive feedback.

Thank you for sharing your constructive feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you and your family had a great time and enjoyed the property and the lake. It’s wonderful that you made the most of your stay, despite some of the challenges.
We truly apologize for the issues you encountered with the linens, gate access, and the shower leak. These issues have already been addressed, and we’ve taken steps to ensure they won’t happen again. We're also sorry about the mold in the extra bathroom and the WiFi—it’s helpful to know where we can improve, and we've made adjustments. We appreciate you bringing your own beach towels and coffee pot, and we’ll make sure to review the coffee options for future guests.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we’re so happy to hear you had a memorable vacation! We’d love to welcome you back again soon, Michelle!
Excellent spot for a quiet, comfy family lake vacation.
The cove is really lovely, peaceful and safe. Lake access is from a very well-maintained dock and walkway. Kayaks, stand-up paddleboard, many sizes of life vests were super helpful. Ideal for families.
Big property in a quiet, private area. We liked that there are actually two buildings (one is an apartment above the garage), separated by the driveway. There are a lot of great things about the house. Bedrooms are big, beds are super comfy. Porches and decks are really nice; great furniture, fans and shades. We spend most of our time outside on the deck. Deck dining table and chairs, grill, etc. are in great shape.
Just note that there are some funky things about the house as well. The two main bathrooms are very tight with an unusual layout, requiring you to walk into the hallway to use the sink. Upstairs shower leaks actively into the downstairs shower below; clearly been that way for some time. I get that this would be a major repair and would take a while to schedule and undergo. Both showers work great, but if you're trying to shower during or after someone showers upstairs, you're going to get water from above raining on you through the ceiling light fixture. Kitchen needs baking dishes. Couch needs repair. Garage apt smells very musty. Gate doesn't function on one side, open all the time.
That said, we really would stay again! Rental co was extremely responsive and great.
