Mold enveloped the ceiling of the Sun porch to such a degree that we didn’t feel safe spending time there (particularly given our age and my husband’s history of allergies, asthma and cancer); although given the peaceful setting, we would have loved to! Mold was evident in the ceiling and walls of the master bedroom forcing us to move to the guest room (either two single beds or a double bed). There, also was the mold in the master bathroom shower. Additionally, the deck is deteriorating, but not to any degree that interfered with our stay. While the setting is beautiful and tranquil, without addressing the mold issue, the owners are putting the heath of their guests at risk!!! Refer to CDC guidelines which state: “Regardless of the type of mold, it is important to remove it from the home for hygiene and health reasons.” Aside from the mold issue, the property was clean, in a peaceful setting with adequate accommodations. (We would have appreciated more than a partial roll of paper towels for an 8 day stay and new, more plush towels rather than the bevy of thread bare, mismatched towels, washcloths and towel mats.) Also, the ice make stopped working midway during our stay. Access to the soaking tub would have been appreciated; but it reportedly didn’t work. We have pictures to document. Maybe, we were spoiled by our stay in Gatlinburg (Sweet and Cozy Getaway Spot); the host truly treats his guests as honored “guests”.

Had elderly parents with us. One with a walker and oxygen so the ranch style open floor plan was pecfect. So relaxing. View was gorgeous. Kitchen well stocked. A food lion grocery store 3.5 miles away. Stayed 4 nights and just enjoyed the house and family came to visit us.

The property was exactly as described and we had a wonderful time while visiting family that lived nearby!

Found this gem by expanding the online search beyond the lake front. The description and pics match the property well. Everything was present and worked as expected. The owners okayed a 22-ft tongue-to-tail camper that manuevered within the driveway. That enabled three generations, 10 total, to colocate and relax during the trip, away from the busyness on the water and in town during independence Day weekend.

Clean and bright. Plenty of room.

What a memorable experience! The property is so beautiful and has amazing views. Seeing the cattle up so closely was amazing. I loved waking up before everyone else and enjoying the peace and quiet that surrounds the property. I plan on booking again because this home now holds a special place in my heart. Thank you Cathy & Family for making our day magical and sharing your family’s property with us.
