Lake Glennville is gorgeous this time of year and we had the perfect view from this beautiful home!! Owners were so easy to communicate with and home is just as described..

Exceptionally equipped for large family gathering. We had everything needed for the large meals we prepared each day. Really the only caveat (which I did not notice when reading through the description or reviews) was the uneven floors - the kitchen is raised significantly so there are two large steps up/down, one on either side of the kitchen. Also, the floor in the dining area is a bit lower - an attempt was made to make the change as easy as possible. For most folks this is a no-never-mind but we have a 26 year old special needs daughter with mobility/stability issues. I knew outside would be tricky with her and my 80+ year old parents but was not anticipating the inside being as much of a challenge for them. The stairs/decking leading down to the lake was dicey for my stability challenged folks but doable. We spent many hours on the dock and upper deck. The property is absolutely beautiful! We did a couple of short easy hikes close by but stayed/played in the yard/house/lake the great majority of our time. The canoe and kayaks were used many times each day, as well as many of the games and puzzles that came with the house. All of our crew said they would be very excited to do this again!

Anyone with young kids should stop looking and book this house. It has all the basic equipment for kids, plus toys and a fabulous collection of children's books. The outdoor ping pong table and swing set were both a hit with our family. This house feels like staying in a friend's home, with all the amenities that sometimes get locked away in other rentals. Plenty of towels, all the kitchen supplies you could ever want, lots of games, life jackets, everything needed for a fun stay.

We had a great time. Even though the weather was cool and rainy for much of the week, there was plenty of space in the house for indoor activities and the covered pavilion was there for ping pong. The toddlers really appreciated the toys and little slide. We hated to leave and everyone was already talking about coming back next year.

Perfect place to stay for vacation in the mountains. The lot and views are beautiful, deep water dock, house is well maintained and very well equipped. I can't think of a thing that could be improved on.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was fully equipped with everything that we needed. It was very clean, kitchen was stocked with things we needed to cook and the location was wonderful. We enjoyed going into both Highlands and Casheirs as well as hanging out by the lake and fire pit at night. The host was very responsive and very easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay at this property again and highly recommend.

This was our second stay here at the Splendor house and we just LOVE it. It was perfectly suited for our crew. Couldn’t really ask for more for a beautiful mountain getaway. It has all the things: great beds, awesome showers, warm fireplace and fire pit, fully loaded kitchen and a view to die for. I hope you have the opportunity to check it out.

Perfect for Explorers
We had a wonderful experience here. We were 6 adults and 5 kids (ages 6-8). This house fit us perfectly! The grounds are fantastic for exploring. The lake water level was down so the kids had a ball storming the shoreline. The house was very clean and well equipped. Plenty of towels and kitchen equipment. Tons of board games and outdoor sporting equipment. Our favorite part was the fire pit. Had it roaring every night. We had to find our own firewood but we found a guy that delivers for a reasonable price. Lastly, the rain on the metal roof was perfect to fall asleep to. Just loved it. Great area hikes and restaurants! Enjoy!

Spectacular lakeside property!
The pictures do not do this beautiful home justice! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as the house and property were fantastic. We enjoyed the canoe, kayaks, lawn games, ping pong and fire pit outside. Inside, the bedrooms were perfect for our party of 9. The Weber grill and well-appointed kitchen was fabulous. Ben as great to work with and make booking, check-in and check-out seamless. If you are staying in this region of NC, do yourself a favor and book this home. It is a mountaintop gem on a lake that is immaculate!

Look no further than this beautiful lakeside paradise to enjoy surrounding peace, tranquility and loveliness inside and out! Ben and Staci were fabulous to work with and have put much love and care into their immaculately clean and beautifully decorated home! The master bedroom is in itself a vacation with such a gorgeous suite, complete with fireplace in the bedroom and luxurious bathroom! The bathroom is unbelievable with this amazing spa shower and gorgeous jacuzzi! The lake is so wonderful and they have everything right there for you to enjoy kayaking, canoeing, fishing, or just leisurely sitting on the beautiful dock looking out at the peaceful water! Enjoy cooking fabulous meals together in the gourmet kitchen as you look out at the water through a wall of wonderful windows that allows you to see the beautiful sunrise and sunsets! This home will be your return vacation destination for every season!

Ben and Stavy's place was a great location for an off sight workshop
We are regulars in the Lake Glenville area and really enjoyed this property for its location on the lake , access to the boat ramp and protected by the no wake zone. The house is very well laid out for the gathering we hosted. We liked the two refrigerator set up , kitchen lay out and gas grill made for a functional self catered gathering. The master shower was nicked named "the car wash" - its huge !! If we had one idea for improvement or only thing to consider is hauling your own firewood - we have good local connections so not huge deal to us . Its a Five Star set up all in all

Great house
We've been visiting the lake for 20+ years, and this house is great. Recently updated, spacious, bright and open, well-equipped, and very comfortable. Décor was modern and clean, not cluttered or mountain tacky.
Well-equipped kitchen, nice grill, 2 fridges, newer appliances. Generous linens, including lots of lake towels.
Very family friendly: toddler toys, pack-n-play, 2 hi chairs, plastic cups, bowls, flatware, and baby gates made our 2-year-old very happy.
The house has limited parking: 3-4 cars max. Access is challenging, but comparable with the area. Don’t arrive after dark if possible.
Great sloping yard and good dock, although the dock location, rocks, and lake draw down required skillful captaining. Picnic pavilion was prefect for a big dinner we hosted with friends.
Owners' communications were very good, well-organized and detailed. They were responsive and pleasant to deal with.

Wow! Everything was amazing! House was better than pictured, the lake view was breathtaking. I particularly loved all the bird feeders around the property! Bunnies grazing the yard at dawn and dusk and fireflies at night! The kayaks and canoe on property were an added perk!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family!!

We had a wonderful family vacation at Splendor Cove! The house was very clean, organized and had everything we needed to have a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The owners were great with their communication and helpful in answering any questions we had. We were so impressed and had such a great trip we have already booked this property again for next year!

Beautiful property!
We had a great Spring Break stay! The house is beautiful and the owners have thought of everything you might need. We brought our own boat and the owner was very helpful with where to store the boat. We had plenty of space to spread out and the master suite is beautiful! Our only complaint was the internet service was horrible. Trying to stay in touch with family back home was tough. That is not the fault of the owner.... that's just the product of being located in the mountains!

Beautiful Mountain/Lake Retreat
House is just like pictures, plenty of room and everything you need to just stay in and cook and enjoy the views. The drive may not be for those who are squeamish but trust me, well worth it. We had teenagers with us and the internet is very basic, not a bad thing though, right! DirectTV for the television so it was great. If going in winter, bring your own firewood and enjoy the tranquility.

We spent Christmas at Splendor Cove, and the house and property were better than we had hoped. The kitchen and home are equipped with everything you could need, and the large grassy yard and lake/mountain views provide the perfect backdrop. Very nice and responsive owners provided lots of good information and made each step of the process very simple and smooth. Highly recommend!

Exceeded Expectations
Everything about Splendor Cove exceeded our expectations. The owners were very responsive to our inquiries. The home was spotlessly clean and stocked with everything one could possibly need, all of high quality. And the property is absolutely beautiful! I had trouble rounding up the family to go exploring because they were having such a great time enjoying all the house and yard had to offer. We hope to return again and again.

Location was just Beautiful. Tons of waterfall hikes you can do. Whiteside Mountain Trail is a must hike.

We were Pandemic weary and very much in need of a beautiful place to visit, relax with our two adult children. This trip was the perfect choice. We are very familiar with the area having stayed in different properties over the last 5-10 years. The area is beautiful and the climate is perfect. We enjoyed all of our previous stays but I this was our favorite. We spent most of our time at the house and on the lake and playing the outdoor games. It is one of the quietest area on Lake Glenville. It was easy to paddle board, kayak, swim and relax in the water. The house was stocked with everything a guest could want. Although we were traveling with our adult children, it would be as perfect for larger extended families with young children. We look forward to a return trip soon.

The Great Escape
We spent a week at the property with friends. The home was wonderful. Great amenities and lots of space for all to relax and unwind. Loved the upstairs loft for the kids to hang out!! Enjoyed the water view and spent lots of time on the lake tubing, fishing, kayaking, etc. Couldn’t ask for more. Ben was a great host. Very responsive and took great care to make sure we had what we needed. We would definitely come back and highly recommend!!
