The cottage was beautiful. It was like being on my own island. I hung outside most of the time. The hammock was my favorte. We hiked all around us as well, but my favorite part was coming home to the cottage and sitting on the lake. It had everything we needed.

Over a 270 degree view on lake front property. Great fall colors, good for fishing, watching sunrise and set and wildfowl coming and going across the lake. Perfect for our family. The hosts ensure quality and complete furnishings for vacation needs. We were able to catch and release fish off the dock and bank. The owners even provide a few rods along with a canoe and jon boat which can be rented. We will be back.

My husband and I spent our 30th anniversary and his birthday at this amazing cottage! There was nothing we have to complain about!! It was wonderful and comfortable. We went to the Candy Mountain Goat Farm and petted the goats. They were adorable! We also visited the Cherokee County Museum which was very informative about the Trail of Tears. We ate at Chop House and Rib Country which were both very good and reasonably priced. All-in-all, this was one of the best vacation rentals we have had in all our years of travel!! Thank you for sharing this gem with us!

This is the most peaceful and private place you could ask for with a beautiful view of the lake. The big deck overlooks the lake. Fishing is great or just paddling around the lake late in the day looking for wildlife. It is very pet friendly also. Both bedrooms have comfortable beds and the kitchen is fully equipped. The fireplace is a big plus. The owners are so very nice and ready to accommodate you with whatever you need. This is our little piece of Heaven when we are there. My favorite thing may be the fog lifting off the water each morning!

What a beautiful and heartfelt review of our little lakefront cottage . You are one of the few people who has mentioned the morning fog lifting off of the water… like a flashback in time from another era. If we could do time travel … that experience would take us there. Thank you for being a wonderful guest and for all of the great things that you have said here. We look forward to your return.
