The kitchen is the best equipped kitchen ever. The views are excellent. Upstairs bedrooms are large and very private to the other rooms. Very quiet. Outdoor patio area is fantastic with Firepit and hot tub. Sheets are needed. Towels could be better. ##### Meade B. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vern B., Philadelphia, USA 30 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Property/Should provide essentials The property/house are a special place. The view is the best on the lake. Everything was top notch. Our only complaint was that basic necessities were NOT provided: no toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap etc. Also we purchased the Linen Package for about $190 and we still had to make the beds and strip them ourselves. For a property of this caliber and price, we would highly recommend providing these essentials. That would elevate the experience for the guests. ##### Vern B. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### WILLIAM H., DURHAM 27 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful lake front home Great property with stunning view of lake and mountain. Quiet setting with much less boat traffic than rest of lake. House is well equipped except you have to bring your own towels and sheets and tp and soap and dishwashing liquid. A house at this price range should include all. Everything was great but a few quibbles. The stove top is induction which has no instructions of how to use. It was trial and error for us. The gas heater outside was not working. The grill had to be cleaned thoroughly outside. These issues did not ruin our stay but hoping they will be addressed. We will definitely return. ##### WILLIAM H. Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy A. 31 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location beautiful house We loved the house, it was set up nicely for large groups. The dock was perfect, offering shade, sun and a small beach. We would definitely rent again! ##### Kathy A. ---
