Wonderful place to stay! This was the best-stocked vacation home we've ever stayed in, and we really appreciated all the supplies. So much to do here -- the lake toys and the game room were so much fun! We also loved sitting on the deck and watching the lake. Highly recommend this house.

This was our second stay at this property. They make it very easy to fly in and arrive with everything that we need to start our stay. We especially appreciate that they provide beach towels so we can save room in our suitcases. Kitchen is very well equipped; house has plenty of room for everyone. Water pressure was perfect this year! Beautiful view of the lake. We were excited to get a visit from the Ice Cream Boat this year. (There is a Facebook page for it and also a real-time map to see where it is located.) House is conveniently located between Bridgewater and Food Lion, with Kroger at Westlake not too far away. We will definitely try to book this property again for our next visit.

Perfect location and amenities

Our family truly enjoyed this property. It was a perfect location for us and the hot tub was a perk! Communication with owner was excellent and timely. Happy to have the option of a boat rental with the house rather than going to a marina. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely fantastic property. All the amenities including a boat and jetskis, paddle boards, tubes, a game room and a hot tub. The view is amazing, the location is perfect with restaurants just a 5-10 minute boat ride away. Communication with the owners was also excellent. We definitely look forward to renting this property again in the future with friends!

Barefoot Retreat

Our family had an amazing vacation. The kitchen was well equipped. The floor plan allowed everyone to have their own space. We had a blast in the basement using the pool table, air hockey, foosball table, and the video arcade game. It was super easy renting the jet skis for a day. And the lake was simply perfect!

Will likely stay there again.

We loved our stay. The view of the lake was beautiful. They took great care of forseeing everything you might need while you are there including: beach towels to use, paper products, shower soaps, as well as laundry and dishwasher soaps. We felt well provided for and found the house to be very hospitable.

Awesome location!

We had an awesome time at the Barefoot Retreat. The location is amazing - super close to everything you need! Some of the appliances were out of commission during our stay - the dishwasher didn’t have power, and the outdoor TV mount was broken - but the host was amazingly responsive and communicative! Could not recommend this place more, I would definitely stay here again!!

Great property and location. Owners had excellent communication. Very busy cove. Our PWC got tossed around quite a bit. Understand why owners around lake have lifts. Owners did tell us the dock got wake. We still underestimated.
