Family weekend

This is an excellent home away from home! I agree with other post, the pictures do not do it justice. We had a family of 7 adults and 1 infant for a long weekend there. We gave the upstairs (Loft) bedroom to my daughter, her husband an infant. They needed the extra floor space for the baby's blow up bed and there was plently of extra room for them still up there, plus their own bathroom. The down stairs, is a bonus! It is much bigger than it looks in the picture and everyone was able to join together downstairs for fun activities. The beach with the kayaks was also a bonus. They even had a life jacket for the infant (18 months) to use and his mama took him on his first Kayak ride. Ms. Marie is the nicest and most patient property manager I have ever met. She answered all my questions and then some. So glad we found this gem, and we will be returning next year to make this a tradition family weekend!

Wonderful stay in Holmes!

My family of 3 generations stayed at Marie's rental house in Holmes in June 2023 to celebrate my Mom's milestone birthday. Of the 15+ rental house experiences I've had over the years, this was BY FAR the best. The property was immaculately maintained. The house interior was thoroughly clean, nicely decorated, and well furnished. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, dishware, utensils, and condiments. There was a Nespresso machine with plenty of coffee pods. Marie was excellent in her communication with me, and answered every inquiry I had within minutes. The house had a lot of nice extras not typical of the usual rental homes- several board games, a very nice poker table, an excellent foosball table, a good treadmill and a quality barbell weight set. The hit of our trip though was the karaoke machine. Easy to connect to your phone or tablet; we spent every night butchering countless songs together. A lovely family bonding moment. Outside was a propane gas BBQ grill and a hot tub, which we didn't get a chance to use. The deck was in great shape, and offered a nice view of Lake Whaley. Across the street from the house you can access a private beach with a cute tiki bar set up with plenty of bar chairs. There's even a fridge there to keep your drinks cold. There's 2 plastic kayaks on the beach that you can use to paddle around the lake. There's a nice asphalt trail around the other side of the lake that you can drive to in a couple of minutes. Would love to visit again!

A hidden gem

We had a lovely stay this past weekend. Marie is extremely responsive and just a pleasure to work with. The house was beautiful, the photos don't do it justice. Great amenities, including a hot tub! The beach on the lake is private and very relaxing. We enjoyed kayaking and all the house had to offer. Appliances are also high quality. Highly recommend to others and we would come back again!

Great House and Location

This was a wonderful home to host our family gathering. Very comfortable and spacious enough to allow everyone their privacy when desired. The beach pavilion was a great bonus, as were the kayaks (and the Foosball table). Thank you Marie for your attention to details and being so welcoming.
