Ohhh wow. There’s a reason it gets all the 5 star reviews! The beach is so amazing and clean, the dock is perfect and we made a fire in the fire pit every night. Loved the colored lights and the porch where you could sit and listen to the rain and view the beautiful lake. So many amenities and the property has a private feel to it. Kimberly was very quick to respond to any questions. Great location and just an overall 10 out of 10!!!! Already planning the next visit!

Our vacation was wonderful! The cabin was perfectly comfortable for two. The private beach was beautiful and relaxing, and the lake itself was a dream...very clear water and no muck on the bottom! The dock accommodated our boat perfectly, and the dock itself was a great hangout spot. The marina down the street was a lot of fun with music all weekend. All of that plus this was the PERFECT jumping off point for nearby hiking, for Biltmore, and for quaint towns like Black Mountain and Marion. We did it all and had a blast! We can't wait to go back for more fishing, swimming, hiking, and exploring!
