The charming and comfortable lake home offers many areas for relaxation as well as large and spacious living quarters.

The house also has wifi access.
The second floor master bedroom has a king size bed, with a couch and great view of the lake. Off the master bedroom is the spacious master bathroom which has a jacuzzi tub. The remaining bedrooms on the second floor include a full size bed, two queen size beds and a day bed with trundle. There is a full bath as well on the second floor.

Perfect Lake House
This was probably the best VRBO house / rental I've ever stayed in. The owner was communicative and responsive. With five bedrooms, there was plenty of places to sleep. The house literally was a home away from home, with every amenity, household items and comforts of home one could think of. The lake area access across the street was very easy to get to and lovely - we enjoyed using the kayak and the paddle boat. I can only imagine the fun guests would have in the summer (we stayed in April). The teenagers enjoyed the pool table and the comfortable couches in the TV, which included cable TV and had a Roku where you could easily sign into whatever streaming services you subscribe to. There were also plenty of games on the game shelves. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, dishes, pots, pans, cookware, etc. Two refrigerators for guest use made for plenty of cold storage. Full size washer and dryer easily available. And last, but certainly not least is the front porch, with plenty of outdoor seating, including a table and chairs, that overlooks the lake. It was perfectly suited for sipping a warm mug of tea in the morning, watching the sunrise. I would recommend this home 10/10.

Christmas Family Gathering
From the moment we turned into the driveway until it was time to leave, we felt right at home in this beautiful house. It was lit with holiday cheer, warm and welcoming when we first arrived. Upon entering we were impressed with its old farmhouse charm. The back entry area was spacious and made it easy to unload everything from the car. The updated kitchen is well-appointed; we had everything we needed. Plenty of cooking equipment, dishes, etc. Two refrigerators made it easy for us to store everything we brought for a 5-day stay that included Christmas dinner. Each bedroom was spacious and comfortable. The living area was also spacious and comfortable. The pool table was a nice surprise, and got a lot of use. The updated bathrooms were great; the master en suite bathroom will be updated, but was fine as is. We loved the master as a whole, with the separate dressing room in between the bedroom and the bath. The view of the lake from the bedroom just added more to the charm. Amy, the owner, was fantastic to work with although we really didn't need anything from her, as she thought of everything ahead of time and was generous in her provision of all that is needed for a comfortable stay. What was missing? Snow for a white Christmas, nothing more! Thank you, Amy; we will be back!

Family, Food, Fellowship, Fun.
This was an amazing opportunity for a family gathering from NC, SC, and NY. The home was perfect, and I do mean perfect. There was room enough for all, with several areas to just "chillax". The hosts were super communicative and attentive to every detail. My family will return in 2024!
