WONDERFUL stay!!

Seriously impressed with the level of thought the owner put in to ensuring guests had a wonderful stay. The home is well appointed, great spaces (2 floors) with 4 beds, the downstairs would be great for kids (or adults) and the outdoor spaces are lovely. The 2 beds we used upstairs were so comfortable, plenty of towels, dishes, and the coffee bar was an amazing addition. Highly recommend this location for all group types, family or friends!

Peace and Quiet

From the minute we walked in, we were enchanted with this lake house! The owner connected with me the day before so check in was a breeze. From the decks to the kitchen to the bedrooms - everthing was setup so comfortably & with class. The house is family and dog friendly. I loved that!! It is equiped with games galore & books for the family along with pet bowls for water/food, a leash & bags for poop cleanup. I am quite pleased at the attention to detail.I have to tell you - the coffee bar is a dream with multiple choices of coffee, tea and hot chocolate. It has a full coffee pot or single keurig options which was perfect for our crew. Cups were staged right there with options for sugar/substitutes, half and half, and other flavorings. The family room has two comfortable couches complete with blankets thrown over the backs for cuddling in or catching up on the day's news. I really thought that was a nice touch.The screen porch has a grill and a blackstone griddle ready cooking adventures. All the things you could possibly need for cooking out are right there in the large cart with under counter storage.Two decks with plenty of comfortable furniture draw you out for relaxing, meditating, sketching or snoozing by the serene Lay Lake. I miss that peace!The bedrooms have very comfortable beds & side tables that have lots of plugs for electronics. Each room has individual modern a/c units that are quiet and efficient. I slept so well there.Definitely going back!

This house is awesome. The host had everything you could possible think of if you forgot something. The tea and coffee bar was amazing. This home is practically a home away from home. I would definitely chose this one again. 10 out of 10!!!

Everything was perfect with the home and we enjoyed our stay. The agents with the property management company (Evolve) need more training in customer service, etc but our overall experience at the property was excellent.

The property has remarkable views. The inside of the property had enough space for all of us and was very well maintained. We stayed for Talladega and found the property to be a bit far from the track but for a short weekend this worked out well. We would definitely return with family and spend time renting a boat.
