The lake house was perfect! It was clean, and had everything we needed. We came for the fall race at BMS and the commute was easy and took about 30 minutes. Did not have time to visit the surrounding areas but it was beautiful. To check in the cabin an app had to be downloaded and used to lock and unlock the door, so I was worried about having service and my phone battery life the whole time. If you want privacy this is the one for you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Tony was incredible! Very prompt to answer text messages etc. Gave some wonderful recommendations regarding the surrounding area. The cottage was beautiful and well appointed and comfortable. It was absolutely spotless when we checked in. The bed was comfortable and the couch was great… I must say I fell asleep at least once in that recliner! Awesome host, awesome stay

Good little house. We enjoyed our stay. Tony was quick to help with a technical issue. The house is on a traveled street, but it was pretty quiet inside. There is a faint hint of smoke in the house if you have a sensitive nose.

Overall it was a great stay. The cabin was very clean and everything worked. The deck and porch roof can use some TLC but we had a great time and enjoyed our stay here.

The inside was nicely decorated and clean. The outside needed some work done. There was some loose boards on the deck and walkways in the front. Was nice sitting on the porch. Didn't like the idea that we had to take sheets off bed , take towels and put everything in hamper and trash out to trash can. Its very hard to see where the driveway is at night. Needs a better marking!

BE VERY WARY OF THIS HOST.Our experience with this host was extremely disappointing and concerning. After our stay, the host accused us of causing damage and submitted documentation as “proof” of the claim. The problem? The documentation was incomplete, false and did not accurately support the accusation.When we challenged the claim and asked the host to provide additional information and clarification, the host simply stopped responding to VRBO. No answers. No explanation. No willingness to substantiate the accusation.It is incredibly frustrating to be accused of something you did not do and then have the person making the accusation disappear when asked to provide legitimate evidence.If you stay here, protect yourself. Take extensive photos and videos of EVERYTHING when you arrive and again when you leave. Document the condition of the property, even things that seem insignificant. Keep every message, photo, and piece of documentation.This experience completely changed how I will approach VRBO rentals in the future. It is deeply troubling that a host can make a damage allegation based on documentation we believe was false, yet apparently face little accountability when they cannot—or will not—back up the claim.Renters: protect yourselves. Document everything. Don’t assume that being an honest, respectful guest is enough to protect you from an unfounded claim.We would absolutely not stay at this property again.

Its unfortunate that you don’t want to take responsibility for your actions and actions of your pets unfortunately you must accept responsibility for damages caused by your pets you know that you lied about your pets from the beginning of your stay. When you brought 2 dogs and paid for one then tried to claim you didn’t. As far as proof of damages you were being unreasonable anyone can continue to say more proof Vrbo settles these claims based upon reasonable facts. Not falsehoods.
