The roadway down to the property and the driveway of the property was rough and we probably would not have been able to get to it if we had our cars instead of trucks. Even the trucks scraped their bottom coming out of the driveway. My son had to park his car on the street before Buzzard Roost, because he got stuck on Buzzard Roost the first time up there. A kind neighbor helped him out of the deep pothole. Plus around 3-4:00 am we heard the pitter patter of little feet, rodents of some type, so we took to leaving a light on at night and that stopped. You might want to check the little door in the loft. My son said that it looked like someone locked their dog in there. Our dog would not go up the stairs, my son brought her up there and she ran right back down the stairs. It was a beautiful location, with a beautiful view other than the driveway and road above the cabin.

The pictures and description are not accurate. The home is in disrepair and dirty (full of large cobwebs, even in kitchen window), covered with leaves and more cobwebs. Floor was not thoroughly mopped. The third bedroom (which only consists of two twins and a small table for a lamp; no place to put suitcases or personal belongings) passes through the master bedroom which is mentioned in the listing, but doesn't have a regular door (only saloon doors) - NO privacy. The fireplace is not functional. Entire downstairs, including the porch is cordoned off with "Authorized Personnel Only" signs and a board to prevent entry. Dock is covered with goose droppings, a definite health hazard, and is quite unsafe with a lot of deteriorated wood. There was no "available equipment" i.e. fishing gear, floats, paddles (although there was a canoe), and if there was more equipment, it was in a locked shack. Some of the patio furniture is badly rusted. Fans don't work (or the paddles are missing all together). One of the screen doors has a large lower panel missing, as well as holes in screen; both doors are unusable unless you wanted mosquitos to visit. Driveway is steep. We needed 4WD to get out of driveway as we had rain the first few days. We had to back out as there wasn't enough room to park two vehicles and turn them around. I strongly encouraged the property manager to please visit the house personally. In fairness, the house has a lot of potential. Were the many repairs completed and the house thoroughly cleaned (in light of covid, we expected that it would have been), the home would be outstanding. The location is truly "Unplugged" and lovely. The kitchen (my favorite part :) ) is a delight and well-stocked with all the appliances and kitchen utensils we needed to cook great meals.

We had a relaxing vacation in this peaceful locale. The cabin itself was largely well maintained though some updates are definitely needed. The outside is, however, a very different story. The deck furniture is filthy and the dock is covered in bird waste and is dangerous disrepair. I wish I could write something different because we did enjoy this spot and would have returned if the dock and stairs weren't so treacherous but that's just not the case.

We had a hard time finding the property because the directions provided told us to turn right instead of left, and then there was no street sign for the road we were supposed to turn down. We really struggled to open the key code lock when we checked in too. It did not want to open! The website said there was fishing poles and canoe paddles but we could not find them. There was locked shed but we did not know the combo. I called and emailed about it and never heard back during our stay. The dock was very old and falling apart. There was a HUGE cobweb in the upstairs bedroom so my son was too scared of spiders to sleep up there. Some of the coffee mugs were chipped and not in good shape. We left a blanket there on accident and I called and emailed to see if they found it and never heard back about that either.

We rented this cabin for Memorial Day weekend with some friends . There’s some good things about this cabin and some bad . Inside was overall good . Bedrooms and bathrooms very clean . Kitchen needed to be gone through and get rid of some of the clutter . There were dishes probably let from the 80’s still there with all the dust in the cabinets . The dock to the lake is a different story . It is straight down and very dangerous to get to the lake . When you get to the lake the dock was very old and scary almost scared it was going to fall in . There was an old rundown pontoon sitting there that needed to be hauled off . If they do some updates this place could be really good but definitely need to work on dock and get a grill outside to grill .

Loved the cabin! Home was great, just should put more money into the pathway and dock. Shouldn’t be so hard to get to the water. Update the beds, they are old. Trim some trees so there’s a view of that beautiful lake. Listed as a lake house so make the lake more available! We came here for the water, not a broken leg.

Had everything there we needed to enjoy our stay, even papertowels, coffee filters and a variety of kitchen supplies. The 'rusticness' of the cabin did not disappoint. There we not any bugs in the cabin which was a plus for the kids. Plenty of room to stretch out. The open living space is really nice and the porches were enjoyed by all. We brought our boat and fished everyday. Caught more fish that we had hoped for. Dock needs ALOT of work as the back corner was sinking. If you have small children, elderly adults or anyone needing basic assistance you will have a very hard time getting down to the lake but once you do get there the views are breathtaking. The biggest steps I would take to making this a 5 star would be just an overall tidying up inside (dusting and removing cobwebs in ceilings), replacing the dock and making it easier to get down to the water. Maybe even a crush and run walk-path with handrails would do the trick. Only other suggestion would be to let guests know that there is only 1 key (not 2) in the lock box and that it is located on the actual doorknob.

If communications were better I would not feel the necessity to spell it all out here ..like airing dirty laundry but Jennylynn did not call me back. This home is managed by a third party and not the owners. TLC Properties. She emailed me the night before leaving with checkout reminder but that is all...so, we arrived and beware, VERY steep narrow gravel and dirt driveway with barely enough room to turn around when leaving so we began to back down the steep hill and park. Not a negative thing just letting those know with large vehicles or poor backing skills. We did not recieve lockbox code for key so had to call 3rd party, not Jennylynn, and wait for email. Trash can outside, that renter is responsible for placing all trash in bags was full of trash, most not bagged. McDonalds cup with lid and straw 1/2 full of coffee? was in sink. Dryer full of dry linens I folded and stacked on dryer. Stove top is inductive so knowledge is required to operate. We bought and left some sugar for the coffee. There is a fireplace but it is closed up. One place in description it says "no pets" but thankfully that is incorrect. Very, very, unlevel steps down to dock. Be VERY careful and I am an outdoor person who lives in the Uwharrie Mountains on a river....Canoe is available but no paddles or life vests. No "basic fishing gear". It os a beautiful relaxing location. Unique real log home just suffering from a lack of attention for some time and the errors in description, poor communication which left me no choice but to share all of this in review vs talking about it...

Our family of 5 as well as our family pet stayed at the retreat for three full days and it was the perfect escape of busy life we needed. Location in Spring City was within a 2-hour drive of Knoxville, Chattanooga and Nashville. Great for day trips, beautiful rides to enjoy the countryside in Tennessee. We still made it back to the lake house for dinner each night. We spent our last full day there just fishing off the dock. The dock itself is in need of some updates, but was still perfect four us. Our family had a wonderful time. We spent time in the evening playing games and having lots of laughs.
