We are delighted that you enjoyed your time at Lighthouse Cove making memories with your family. It was fun seeing you take advantage of the canoe, swimming in the cove, and enjoying the fire pit at sunset. The highlight for us was when your grandkids got to see the flying squirrels at their evening meal. What a treat! You are welcome back any time.

This was a wonderful location for our ladies weekend. The space was perfect. Plenty of parking, seating and bedrooms. We spent most of our time on the covered porch and floating in the lake. Looking forward to returning.

This house could not have been more perfect. Attention to detail, including very comfortable beds. We cooked all of our meals and found the kitchen well stocked with everything that we needed. Because the weather was so perfect during our stay, we spent the majority of our time on the deck with views of the lake, morning coffee, happy hour and meals. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Awesome deck

Had a family get together and the house was perfect. One big area we could all hang out and some separate areas to escape to also. We rented a boat and road around the most beautiful lake ! Decks were great I could live out there.

From the Owner: "Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear the house worked so well for your family gathering, plenty of space to be together and also spread out when needed. Renting a boat is such a great way to enjoy the beauty of the lake, and we completely agree about the decks, they’re the perfect place to relax and take it all in. We’d be delighted to host you again anytime!"

A Joyful Celebration

We rented the house in Lighthouse Cove to celebrate my son’s 10th birthday. We had 5 adults and 3 kids (ages 7, 7, and 10!). The hosts were gracious, kind and communicative. There were coloring books, games, grills and plenty of kayaks and canoes for us to paddle on the water every day. The rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. We had a wonderful experience and hope to stay there again next year.

Communication was easy and pleasant, and they left the house in excellent condition. We’d be thrilled to welcome them back anytime—and sincerely hope to see them again next year!"

The house was clean and as listed. There is gorgeous view of the lake out the back. The hosts were easy to communicate with and responded quickly. My group had plenty of space to hang out at the house and not feel cramped. The back porch was nice and had a great view as well.The house is located in a quiet neighborhood that is only a short drive to the Tail of the Dragon as well as other local roads and attractions.This was not a problem for us, but a word of caution about the neighborhood street…it is a single-lane road that is very hilly and twisty, so it could difficult for a motorcycle or trailer, especially in bad weather. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and look forward to making our trip down here again soon!
Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 6 October 2025
Thank you for your kind review, Alex! We’re so glad you enjoyed the clean home, lake views, and porch space. Your note about the road is appreciated—we always want future guests to be well-informed.For those wondering: my husband and I are motorcycle riders and navigate the road daily with ease. While the street is indeed narrow and hilly (like much of our mountain area), it is paved and handles large vehicles without issue. Our neighbors had a 42-foot fifth wheel and had no trouble—even in light rain.Thanks again for choosing our place—we’d love to host you again soon!

Beautiful house in the water and close to everything

We had a fantastic stay at this rental! The house was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. There were four of us, but it easily could have accommodated double that without feeling crowded. It’s extremely well-equipped with everything we needed, and the hosts were friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with. Check-in was seamless, and the checkout process couldn’t have been simpler.We especially enjoyed relaxing by the cozy fireplace in the living room and spending time on the split-level deck, which offers beautiful views of the water. The location is also ideal—centrally located near the Tail of the Dragon and tons of other great riding routes and scenic spots.Highly recommend this place, and we’d definitely stay here again!
