It was a great place to stay, quiet and peaceful. The lake was right up the road and the whole house just felt like home. The owners were very nice and helpful. Anytime I needed something they were there to answer any questions I had. Would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful week

Property is quaint and somewhat secluded. A little hard to find at first. Felt great to get back into the mountains and away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Plenty of wildlife to view and hear. House is well maintained and the owners are very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again!

Pictures don't do it justice! This was a great place to spend our vacation in. Creek right behind the house was absolutely stunning. While I was drinking coffee on the large porch the first morning, a deer welcomed me to the neighborhood. Incredibly peaceful spot. We did a lot of sightseeing, so we didn't get a chance to fish the lake that's well within walking distance, but heard it is a great fishing lake. Kitchen was very well stocked, and there were plenty of blankets and towels. Couldn't have picked a better place!
