We enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin was exactly as described, as was the location. A very peaceful setting, and not too far from stores and attractions.Steve was very accessible by text and/or phone call and very quick to respond when we had a question.We would highly recommend this cabin to our friends and family and would stay here again the next time we’re in the area.

House was well stocked. Communication with owner was quick response. If you have children must visit the Bright Zoo about an hour away. Also the old Butler Museum was interesting. We were there for ETSU/Elon football game. The drive to all of these things was an easy scenic drive.

Wonderful location! Very quiet and peaceful. The house was perfect for the two of us. Very clean! The lake is beautiful and the countryside around the lake is outstanding. Took numerous drives. The sunny days and 72 degree temperatures made it even more special.

Great break!

Was clean, nicely appointed, loved front porch that looked out on to lake, comfortable sofa & chairs. Only 3 concerns - master bed springs/mattress was hard and noisy (enough to wake up spouse; nearby restaurant choices were limited; and communication with property manager was difficult.
