Vary nice porch area and the cabin was perfect. We enjoyed the views and fishing from the dock. The pool is also great with changing rooms. Overall it was a relaxing week in the mountains just what we needed.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 October 2026
So glad you enjoyed your stay. It is unusual to get to enjoy both the mountains and a beautiful pristine lake at the same time. The pool in the development was redone (I like to swim laps in the morning) and rivals any country club. Normally it is open from Memorial Day until Labor Day but is still open as the days are warm. Hope y’all return!

Great girls getaway

Perfect for a mountain getaway. The area is a favorite of ours for escaping to the mountains and this house has all the cabin vibes we wanted. The huge screened in porch was why we picked it and it was everything we hoped for.

We loved this cabin. Plenty of room, beautiful view, private dock, and two screened porches. The main level porch was our go to spot morning and evening. The owner clearly cares that her guests enjoy their stay.

Mary was great to work with. The cabin is stocked with everything. the pool table was a big hit but the best thing was the dock. We had an amazing 5 days there and hope to return.

So glad y’all had a good time.. One correction is that we do not have a pool table but a ping pong table on the downstairs porch. There is a gorgeous swimming pool in our gated community with plenty of outdoor seating including lounge chairs. Hope y’all return soon!

great stay

we have stayed at this home several times and enjoyed it each time. location on the lake is amazing with a dock that is easy to access. the kitchen is small but all of the other features (many bathrooms, 2 living areas, 3 bathrooms, screened in deck) more than make up for that challenge. the pricing is affordable, the community pool is a bonus.
