Location and layout couldn't have been better! Our daughter was married at Stony Mountain Winery, which ended up being just 10-15 minutes away. This property was just what we needed inside...comfortable beds, a functional kitchen and 2.5 bathrooms with attention to details like luggage racks for everyone, games, a make-up mirror and tons of towels. The lake decore is subtle, without going overboard.
But the WOW factor is outside with multiple gathering spaces, all with spectacular views of the lake (especially sunrise) and lots of fun water toys! We had perfect weather, but even if it wasn't there's the screened porch, the covered dining area on the deck and the first level of the boat house...all covered. We rented the pontoon and the family had a blast riding up and down the lake! Also, the water was still warm enough to play on the giant float pad...the kids had so much fun! We used the peddle boat and a kayak and they were all in great working order...no disappointments in any of it.
The only caution I would add is the steps...there are a lot of them to the water, but they are in good shape and do have sturdy railings on both sides, so that helps a lot for the older folks ; ) However, I think toddlers could be a real challenge here.
The nearby (about 15-20 minutes) town of Albemarle has everything you could want for groceries, pharmacies and fast food places. We didn't eat out, but I saw many local restaurants as well.
The owner is super responsive and accommodating! We will definitely make plans to return to this rental!
