TLDR: It would be hard to imagine a better house, a more beautiful setting, or a more gracious host.Our trip to The Mountain Laurel Retreat was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the house felt exactly as described—welcoming, beautifully appointed, and thoughtfully prepared.As an owner on a similar peer-to-peer rental platform, I know how much the details matter. Chris has clearly poured real care into the home, and it shows in every part of this amazing getaway. The lake proximity, well-equipped kitchen, massive dock, luxurious seating and bedding, and unforgettable views all came together to make our stay feel easy, comfortable, and truly memorable.This is exactly how vacation rentals should feel. The Mountain Laurel Retreat has set a very high standard for any property we may consider booking in the future and we look forward to an encore visit. Many thanks, Chris, for such a wonderful stay!
