Overall this house is wonderful. Very spacious, beautifully decorated and the lake is amazing. We had a lot of fun just hanging at the lake, playing pool, having a fire at night, and using the hot tub. The grill and kitchen was great and we appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was with extra plates, silverware, and appliances. Unfortunately, we were not able to use the kayaks and paddle boards because the lake level was low and getting the equipment over the ramp would have been difficult. We understood that this was out of our control. Also, the chairs on the top dock should be replaced but that is being really picky. The only other thing I would warn people about is the winding road to get to the house. It takes about 25 minutes to get to the end and then you are just about 5 minutes from town. You need to plan ahead and have your groceries, etc. because you really do not want to do this drive more than once a day. With that being said; this is what also made the house very peaceful. A few notes about the area.Bryson City is a cute town. We ate at the Brewery and the food was good. We rented a boat from Almond Marina for two days. They were amazing people. Definitely rent from them. We hiked the deep creek area and went up to Cherokee to tube. Both were great adventures. Also, walk to the train tracks around 11:15am and you can see the train pass by. We would definitely stay here again.
