Great Nature Getaway

The property was a great place for my family (3 young kids and 2 grandparents) to have a quick weekend getaway. We loved the fall colors over the lake and hiking locations close by were phenomenal. We hope to return in the summer because I imagine the lake is even more magical then.

Quick visit

Matt was so great at accommodating our big group for a family funeral. We needed a really short stay and an unusual start time and he went the extra mile to make it happen. We were so grateful to have been able to stay together at such a hard time for our family. And the property is gorgeous!!!!

Beautiful home on lake cove

This home was perfect for our vacation , with plenty of space for each family unit. We enjoyed card games on the screened porch in the evenings. The house is pristine clean, has a spacious well stocked kitchen, and the beds all comfortable. The firepit is a cozy spot to gather and look out over the lake. We look forward to returning!

Family Fun

Fantastic home! Loved the layout, kitchen, bedrooms. We ate breakfast every day on the screened in porch. Walked down to the lake for a float or swim or paddle board. The teens loved jumping off the dock at the house and s’mores at night by the fire pit. Loved fishing off the dock. The beds were really comfortable!

House is updated and spacious enough for 3 families to stay comfortably. Also very well stocked!

There were 3 families in our group and we were all able to spread out and have our own space. The house had every amenity we needed and the view of the lake is beautiful. The owners were great to work with - would definitely rent this home again!

Beautiful home for a family vacation!

Very comfortable home, we had a wonderful stay! Matt & Bhavana were very responsive and helpful. We booked a boat for a few days and it's a great spot for enjoying the lake. The walk to the dock is steep, but WAY easier than many of the other homes we saw. The view is lovely and the property felt very private. We took day trips to the Biltmore and a few hiking spots, and had some meals in Marion and Morganton; while feeling quite remote, it's not too far away from anything you might need! We also cooked a lot, and the kitchen was roomy enough for three of us to cook/prep and the others to sit around the island chatting. Definitely would book again!

Amazing Lake House & Beautiful Views

My brothers and I had a great stay in this wonderful lake house! The house was perfect for all of us, it was equipped with everything we needed, and the location was beautiful. It’s easy to get to the marina and local shopping. Fishing was good and we hope to stay here again. Hosts were very accommodating and super nice. Highly Recommend!
