Lake is lovely. House is as pictured. The property is secluded and about 40-45 minutes from everything.

If you have no mobility concerns, this is a wonderful property from which to enjoy the lake. The house is comfortable (my husband and I used the downstairs bedroom instead of the larger suite upstairs because it was cooler). The beds (three kings!) were very comfortable and had actual cotton sheets! Janelle was a very responsive host. The location was peaceful and shady. I am a swimmer, and this little finger of the lake was lovely, without too much boat traffic. My daughter and I also paddled around a bit in the kayak and saw deer and a heron. Like most lake properties, the dock may not be safe for small children, as it does not have railings.Please do not underestimate the number of stairs here, however. The steps down from the parking area are steep and a little wonky. To get down to the water, there are about 100 stairs and an an awkward scramble between the last stair and the metal dock ramp. None of this stopped us from enjoying the lake, but we are glad this trip didn’t include the grandparents.

Awesome place!!!

I had great concern with the condition of the steps leading down to the front door. It would appear they have shifted. The slope is unsafe and the whole staircase is leaning. I can provide pictures if you like. I am a retired Fire Code Official from NC, and I don't think that stair would pass inspection. The kitchen does not have an exhaust fan, which led to a nuisance activation of the smoke detector in the dining area, when we used our cappuccino machine. Later, the same detector went into battery fail, and we had to remove the batteries to get it to shut up. Mattresses were hard as a rock. The gas grill was used up and rusted. Only one burner in the grill would light. We really couldn't take advantage of the lake access... too many steps for our age group.The place WAS quiet and clean. The scenery was outstanding. With a little attention, it could be much better.Jenelle was very nice and did call us back regarding what to do with the smoke detector. You can reach me at my email.Thanks,Terry
