We loved this place. Great location, Marina is close by and made boat rental easy. Great view from deck. Spacious living room and nice dock. Very responsive host.
Thanks for the welcome of your home so we could all be together for my son's graduation from LU. The travels to/from Lynchburg were a pain, but staying at the lake and enjoying your property was lovely.
We love this lake! And this house was perfect. It’s located in an ideal part of the lake. The charm and size of the house was so perfect for my group of 8. The dock is perfect to fish and float. We will be back!
Property was perfect for our vacation. House was very spacious. Dock was large. We spent most of our time on the dock. Kitchen was very well stocked with dishes It was really nice to be able to use the garage and having access to the extra refrigerator. It would have been nice to have a smart TV downstairs (it was a tube TV with a VCR no TV reception) so while we were playing air hockey and Foosball we could see the news or Olympics. Other than that the house truly met all our needs. We brought our own propane tank for the grill because ad said we had to fill what we used (how do you measure that) but to our surprise it was plumbed into a large tank. House also had a nice gentle sloped sidewalk to the pier and deep clean water in the cove. Host was very pleasant and answered any questions we had promptly. We will recommend this house to other family and friends.
