I found this property after searching several other sites. I was looking for a place on Badin Lake because I have some friends who live on the lake and we wanted to have a large gathering for my 50th birthday celebration. I had actually booked another site through another vacation rental website and that owner gave the rental away after I had sent in my payment for the weekend so I was desperate to find another place. This place was perfect! It was HALF the price of the other property, with way more room and a nearly perfect location at the end of a cove.
The owners have really under-described this house. On the bottom floor, there is a huge porch, with plenty of room for 12 adults (and 1 5-year old) to hang out all day long. There is an external music system, a fire pit (for s'mores!), ceiling fans to keep the breeze moving and a dock for the canoe, kayak and floats. Inside there is a huge open kitchen and living/dining area. We spent all of our evenings in this area, between making dinner together and just relaxing and catching up. The kitchen is well-stocked with all your cooking needs. The bathroom on this floor also contains a convenient washer and dryer.
Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms, one with a queen-size bed, one with two twin beds and one with a futon sleeper and plenty of room for the supplied air mattress. The bathroom upstairs is super spacious. There was plenty of bedding and towels for everyone.
We slept 7 each night, but the house could easily sleep more, especially if you use the futon in the downstairs living room.
Honestly, this was the perfect place for a quiet weekend away from our homes around the southeast to catch up and celebrate our friendships. We went boating, floated on the lake, hung around on the porch, made great meals and slept well each night. It was the perfect weekend.
