Great Spot

Very relaxing place to get away and just hang out with family. Game room provided hours of fun when we were not on the dock fishing or boating on the lake. We only left to hit the store for food. Great Place!!!!

Very relaxing!

This is our second stay at this location, but probably not our last! The house has a perfect lake front lot, allowing us to fish and kayak every day. The weather was wonderful, but even if it hadn't been, we were close enough to town to find things to do. We enjoyed the pool table and watching movies in the evenings.

Family friendly, comfortable and affordable. Lots of privacy on the water, not much boat traffic. And plenty of room inside for the six of us when it rained. The spiral stairs took a little practice. We (60yrs) decided to sleep on the main floor to avoid the extra steps.

Magical house on the water

Just loved our stay at this place. What a gem! I was so sad to leave when our time was up. It’s like having a piece of lake paradise all to yourself.

We had wonderful time!

The actual house was even better than in the pictures. It was well-equipped; we had everything we needed. Even on a rainy day, we found ways to enjoy ourselves with the games provided by the owner (and our own too). The property is very private, and having direct access to the lake is excellent!

Another Excellent Visit

With the oppressive heat, it was nice to have the basement for some cool down time! Took the canoe and kayaks with the kids out to the main lake one morning for a very peaceful ride. House has everything you need.

Lakeside Paradise

Just a wonderful place to getaway with family or friends. I love that they include the kayaks/canoe for having fun out on the lake. Feels like your own private corner of the world (unless the neighbors are home, but even that's not too bad). I love the privacy of the lot, the access to the lake (you will get a work out walking up and down the yard!), and the proximity to town is quite convenient. Can't wait to come back again!

Perfect Spot for a Family

Very quiet area on Mayo Lake. We used just about all of the lake and indoor toys during out stay. Only turned on the TV to watch a movie one night after a long day on the lake. The photos do not do the property justice. Would highly recommend!

Goodness Tucked Away in a Cove

Very nice stay! Beautiful lake view and easy access to fun days out in the lake. We had 2 small kids so the spiral staircase from top to bottom was a little challenging for them! So many fun games and activities right on site! Would love to have had maybe a set of larger bowls (when you have a crowd to feed) in hand l; otherwise fairly well stocked. Love the seclusion at the end of a road:)

A quiet and relaxing experience

The home was as advertised. The available games and equipment provided unlimited entertainment for both young and old. Traveling north to the Clarksville area we enjoyed the hiking in Occoneechee State Park and visiting the antique shops. The Lake Mayo Park was interesting and permitted us to swim in the cool waters.

Lakeside Paradise

This house was exactly what we needed. The pictures are accurate. The house was located on a cove that provided an easy paddle to the main lake. Fishing and kayaking were great. The house was well stocked. The owners were great! We had no issues, but they were leaving as we arrived and went the extra mile to make sure we were all set!

We will be back!

We had fully intended on staying at a hotel for the trip but because of my ptsd My wife looked around for other possibilities and she found this place. We arrived on the 26th to have a second Christmas with my son and daughter from SOBO VA and the 4 days were like being in our own home and all six of us had a blast! From the wall colors to the house facing the water. We loved ever minute of this place and will be returning asap! It was so peaceful and beautiful...thank you for sharing such a beautiful place!
