Beautiful house that had plenty of room for everyone. We celebrated my sister’s 60th bday with family & this house was well stocked for cooking, plenty of beds, fire pit was a nice touch. Beds were very comfortable.
I cannot say enought good things about this property or the owners. This Thanksgiving is the 4th time since 2014 myself or another member of my family had rented this home and it gets better every time.
We had a great time at the house and every thing exceded our explanations. We had family and friends of our son their to attend his graduation from VSU.
You will need for nothing! Our host, Tina, quickly responded when I had a question. Very clean inside and out with new amenities added since our last stay. Great kitchen, it was the hub of the family time. If you get a chance to stay here, grab it. Well worth it!

Thank you, Christina. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay.
Perfect weekend getaway with a trip to Wild Adventures. The lake front property and house were simply beautiful and perfect for our needs. The connected rooms were perfect for our son. We would love to come and stay again!
This place was awesome and exactly what my troop needed. Very clean, very pretty and plenty of room for us to spread out. The house was well kept and the kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed. Couldn’t have asked for a better location for our troop trip to Wild adventures!

Thank you, Missy. Your girls worked hard for this trip. I'm glad you all enjoyed it!
Southern Charm was a wonderful place for a "friend's reunion ". It is a peaceful place to recharge and renew relationships. Any concerns we had were immediately addressed by our host.We appreciate the opportunity to rent this place.
Loved the house for the eight of us staying. Plenty of space for us to all hang out and also have our own privacy when wanted. Kids loved the lake to paddle board and swim.
Are family was attending a celebration of life for my aunt and needed a property with plenty of room for a large family. This property provided that plus.
Great place to have family gathering. Offers a lot of room for everyone with three bathrooms and a half. Gorgeous views of the lake and lots of room to play in the backyard.
Our family loves to cook. We were pleasantly surprised that the kitchen was so well appointed. Even in the cooler weather we enjoyed spending time in the dock. The sunsets over the lake were icing on the cake!
The facility itself was basically clean we did have to clean the refrigerator when we got there. Property could use curb appeal and paint on the inside and outside. Upstairs where the pool table was could use some blinds because the sun is very bright and hot in the area and there is dry rot in the window seal. Overall, all the rooms and bathrooms were clean and adequate space for all of us. Beautiful lake view and accessibility. We enjoyed our stay.
My husband and I have three wonderful children. We love our time at the lake. It has become a family treasure to us.
Why they chose this property
I grew up spending summers at the lake with my family. These were priceless memories that we wanted for our children.
What makes this property unique
Cherry Lake is a beautiful, spring fed lake. I like the fact that the water is clean and clear. Our children have learned to knee board, wake board and wake skate on the lake. Of course, tubing is an all time favorite for them, as well as all their friends who come to visit.
