Our family and friends recently stayed at the property for a long weekend to celebrate Father's Day. The location could not have been better! Our host Keith has paid special attention to ensure this house has maximum comfort and amenities. The beds/pillows, sofas/chairs, dining table, etc. were super comfortable and fit our group size well. The house was immaculate with beautiful flooring, walk-in showers and fully stocked kitchen. We made use of many of the bonus appliances including coffee maker, sandwich press and slow cooker - wonderful attention to detail for those who want to cook. Also to note they had coffee (Folgers), sugar packs and a spice rack. There were more than enough activities for everyone to enjoy including billards, cornhole, kayaks, firepit, and board games not to mention many spots to take refuge including the upper deck, rocking chairs on the bottom porch and the wonderful shaded dock. The access to the lake was ideal with a walk-in section which you could launch the kayaks from and deep enough water for swimming on the end of the dock. We did bring our jet ski and there were sufficient tie-up points. Quick note that Holly Grove Marina (less than 5 min drive) is right around the corner for easy boat/jet ski ramp access for a small $5 fee, we found this to be ideal for location to save on gas (Poplar Creek public drop-in was about 15-20 mins water distance).
The property was well stocked, but we had a few items we were glad we brought along (should not be provided by host): beach towels, bug spray, blow-up floats, outside speaker, kindling/firewood/lighter/s'mores sticks for firepit, condiments (mayo, ketchup, mustard), napkins.
One other quick note, the house location was secluded which means our AT&T cell phones were out of service for location (delayed texting, no calls). The host provided WiFi and there was an IP phone available at the house. This setup was sufficient for our needs and helped encourage everyone to stay off devices.
Sincere thank you to Keith for hosting us and we hope to book again next year!
