This home was perfect for our annual book club multi-night get together. The views of the lake were wonderful, and the accommodations were very comfortable with lots of gathering space. Although the lake was too low for swimming, we enjoyed sitting on the dock in the evening. Thank you for a great stay!

Loved staying in this home…great location and beautiful view, right on the lake! Only 25 minutes to the Shuttle Shack to rent our bikes and take the shuttle for riding the Virginia Creeper Trail. This will be our go to place now when we have our family get together to ride the trail. So much room in this home! So nice!

This property was perfect for our bachelor party. The space was large, clean, and comfortable, with stunning views of the water. While there is a boat available to rent, it's definitely not a requirement to have a great time. The dock and swimming area were a highlight of the trip and kept everyone entertained for hours. Overall, this was an outstanding stay, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing getaway for a large number of people.

Our family had a great time at the lake! The kids loved swimming and fishing on the dock. We brought our own kayaks and took them out several times. Plenty of kitchen supplies were available to feed all 3 families. All of us had a wonderful vacation. Great place for larger families to gather and spend time together.

We had the best time at the “Dougout.” The house and the lake amenities were perfect for a large group like ours. The house was clean and felt like home.

I rented this place with 11 of my friends who came in from all across the country, and we couldn’t have picked a better place.Getting 12 people under one roof without somebody wanting to kill somebody by the end of the weekend is an accomplishment by itself — but this house had more than enough beds and space for everybody. We could all hang out together without ever feeling crowded.The view is absolutely beautiful, and having the lake right there was one of the best parts of our stay. We spent time swimming, fishing, relaxing in the hot tub, and enjoying the games provided at the house. There was always something to do, or you could just sit back and enjoy the scenery.The host was also great to deal with. Communication was easy from beginning to end, and anytime we had a question, getting in touch was simple and straightforward. That definitely made traveling with such a large group a lot easier.The house became more than just somewhere to sleep — it was a big part of what made the weekend so much fun. When you bring together 13 friends from different parts of the country, you know you're going to make some memories, and we definitely did.Fantastic place, fantastic weekend, and we'd absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend it for a big group of friends looking for a great place to get together!

Our host was very attentive and the home was welcoming. Although many amenities were not useable because of the weather and time of year we enjoyed watching the fish jump and the scenery was beautiful.

Great get away!

We selected this place for a brief retreat for couples in ministry, and we were very pleased. The views of the lake and mountains are absolutely amazing, and the accommodations are wonderful. It is a great space to relax and have fun, whether coming as several couples, a large family or a group of people. We highly recommend this place!

Family gathering

Plenty of room for family ages 6 months to 83 years for a long weekend. Rented a pontoon boat for a day from one of the local marinas and the kids enjoyed the inflatables at Sportsman's Marina. The kitchen has everything we needed for family dinners and game nights.
