Jack and Jill bathroom shower needed some attention and outside deck had some bad boards. Nothing that kept us from enjoying our time together with family on Thanksgiving. We enjoyed our stay.

Lake house
The house was in a nice area. It had a lake behind the house which we came to fish but it was too many lily pads in the lake. I think new furniture is needed that you can be able to wipe off because it was dog hair left on the couches. overall, the place was great for me and my family. Everything else was great.

Great place to stay, beautiful views.
The surcharges made the day rate double, and the communication on trying to get the contact for the guy that managed the house was frustrating. Other than that the house was beautiful and we loved the stay.

Clean up
House is in a great neighborhood. House smells of moth balls. Beds are terrible. Couches in den area are horrible. Deck is nice but needs repair. Boat Dock is scary. Lilly Pads everywhere. Very difficult to fish from and no way would you swim in that stuff. Neal is a nice man and his property location is great. All the homes sorrounding are beautiful. Boat dock area definitely needs to be cleaned up

Relaxing
Everything was very good. It was lovely and peaceful. About the price. It says the house is $160 a night. That is misleading. The host fee was almost as much as the 3 nights accommodation. That was my fault. I should have been more careful.

Last min dog friendly getaway.
We had an event in Athens, and needed to bring the pups. The house was great! Exactly what we needed space wise and it was right on the water which was a bonus. I wish there was directions on how to use the TVs/ Direct TV/ Cable. We had planned ahead and brought our own fire stick to stream from. I probably could have reached out to the Property Manager to ask about cable, but it didn’t affect our stay. I also wish the primary bedroom had a king bed. It would be great for a big family or even a couple of families to stay. The back yard/ water views were the best part.

Great weekend getaway!
It was a great stay to celebrate the new year! The only down fall was that we didn’t know the drive way was slanted as much as it was. We could get our boat parked in the drive way, so we had to park it on the street. Other than that, it was great!

A tranquil stay in Athens
We were gathering in Athens for a memorial service and so had family from distant parts coming in to town. The property was all we could have hoped for, with the bedrooms and bathrooms easily accommodating us. The deck and playroom were also great for hanging out and entertaining the kids. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, hope to stay again in the future, and would definitely recommend this property to others.

Great family vacation spot
This house inside and out was perfect for us and our 3 grown children and 2 grandchildren. The only thing missing was no swimming. The dock was great for our boat but the lilly pads had taken over the bank for swimming.

We were 5 ladies that stayed here for Canton Trade Days. It was in a great location and close enough to Canton to not take too long to get there. The only problem that we had was the lighting, especially in the jack and Jill bathroom and the kitchen. Everything else was great.

Vast improvements needed before being rented
House needs vast improvements to validate rental fee. KITCHEN HAS NO OVERHEAD LIGHTING. NONE - ONLY under cabinet lighting. We had to wait for sun to prepare breakfast. Linens are thin and cheap. One inch of watery soap in each dispenser throughout entire house. Outdoor seating is better than indoor. Beds are not solid and uncomfortable - especially twins. Cookware is lacking and plates are chipped! Poor amount of drinkware. Listing should include a very steep driveway. If they want to continue to rent this house out, it requires some major love. A trip to Home Goods would be a great place to start!
