Great view

No screened in porch. Porch fans were broken. Grills were unuseable. Dead trees that presented danger. Fell directly on the path to the dock. Had to purchase my own grill. Minor setback but a good place over all.

Displaced due to hurricane Helene…

Cindy was wonderful! I had a last minute, emergency housing scramble due to the hurricane…Cindy was quick to communicate and open up her home for me… she allowed an early check in, which was greatly appreciated, and even worked with me on a ‘no pet-policy’… during an extremely stressful time in my life, she made things a lot smoother for me… her place was very clean, quiet and peaceful… it was a beautiful spot on the lake with lots of lake toys… the yard was spacious and private and filled with deer!! Just what i needed while i recharged my ‘battery’…. Thank you Cindy for a wonderful stay!

Nice and relaxing getaway

So many great things to say about this place. They had a little bit for everyone to do. We rented this place for my birthday weekend to celebrate and bring our boat. We were pleasantly surprised with how much we enjoyed the covered boat dock! The house was spacious and had everything labeled and easy to find. We found a spot in the water to anchor the boat and get in the water. Suggest bringing water shoes if you get in the water off the property that was fun too. Literally have great things to say! Would for sure rent again! Just a side note I would not recommend “the local pub and eatery” we were there for 2.5 hours with terrible food and serve! However we did find the Public well cafe and pizza hands down fantastic atmosphere and great prices family owned.

I didn’t like owner coming to property while we were there. She came 3 times, 2 times to water the yard flowers. And one more time to mow a very small patch of grass, about the size of 2 cars. I felt like we were being watched. Also you can not eat the fish in this lake. We did notice a catfish had a big sore on them. This makes you question swimming here.

Family vacation and fishing trip

Was a perfect spot to stay while the boys were fishing a tournament. The lake was great to swim in and the game room at the house had plenty of things to do also.
