Great Property for Church Group
Our church group rented this property for a weekend retreat. The place was beautiful and accommodating. We had a great time. The host, David, was communicative and helped us fix a booking error we had made. Perfect for what we needed and the host was super helpful. Highly recommend!

Surprise 90th birthday weekend!
This property is perfect for big family gatherings! It was wonderful to have the long table in the main living room for a big group game times, and meals on the rainy days! The view and access to the lake was great- we were thrilled to be able to use the two kayaks and canoes on the sunny days! Our family also enjoyed the fire pit and a long morning walk around the neighborhood! We made wonderful memories and plan to come back when she turns 100!

Stayed at the house this past weekend with 15 people in our group. We were down for a game weekend in Auburn and the drive is manageable (about 1-1.5 hours). The house is fantastic, tons of room and right on the water. Highly recommended for large groups and we'll definitely be back

PARADISE FOR LARGE GROUPS
The surroundings are private and beautiful. The house has everything necessary for a large group such as a multi-generation family reunion. The kitchen has PLENTY of plates, bowls, glasses, flatware, etc + every cooking utensil/baking dish we could think of. The miltiple living areas made it possible for different age groups to do their own thing. Morning coffee can be enjoyed on one of the porches overlooking the lake and trees. Bird watching is great; a great heron visited the dock for a couple of hours one day. Our group loved the fact that there was room for everybody at one table. Also, Christmas in July was our theme this year so the Christmas tree was great for our Chinese gift exchange and singing. This property can't be beat for a beautiful setting offering everything a large group needs .

Family weekend at the lake
We had a great time with our extended family. The house had plenty of room for everyone and we loved that there were ample towels and beach towels. We used the boat and canoe and had a blast in the water. We also loved using the smoker for a family bbq. David was so great answering questions prior to our trip and also checking in with us to make sure all was going well. We would definitely come back!!

Wonderful family getaway lots of room for everyone
We hosted a 79th birthday party for my father here with all of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. The house was wonderfully stocked with towels, linens, toys and plenty of seating. The upper porch quickly became a great hangout, second only to the dock. There was plenty of space for all 21 of us! We are working out the details to book again for next year. The owner communicated well and was super responsive to all my questions prior to arrival and checked in with me once we were on property. If you are reading reviews to decide if you want to book this property - book it! We will definitely be back!

Happy on the Lake
We had a family gathering of 13 in total. We had so much fun fishing, canoeing, and cooking meals in a gormet kitchen. We enjoyed football on several TVS, not everyone there enjoyed watch the Tide wash over LSU! We caught so many fish on the dock we kept 3 poles busier than expected. My nephew, 3yrs old found toys to play with in a cute little unexpected play space, and enjoyed the safe upstairs balcony watching chipmunk and squirrels chase each other. Comfy beds, lots of bathrooms and hot water for 13! Very excited to do it again in the spring.

Gem of a place to stay with a large family! Just avoid dirt road 803
Gem of a place to stay with a large family! 3 levels allowed us to have plenty of space and not feel crowded. The 4 full bathrooms made wait times to shower brief. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook & feed our crowd. We didn't need the 2nd kitchen downstairs. There were more than enough beds with a variety of firmnesses to meet everyone's comfort. (I found a perfect memory foam upstairs & an aunt her perfect firm ground level) Upper porch was relaxing with such a peaceful view of the lake, with is an easy short walk to dock from the lower porch. We did not use the smoker, grill, canoes, boat dock, or swimming due to the fact our 2 night stay was for a family funeral in nearby Roanoke. Over & over the whole weekend, everyone commented on how perfect this house was & what a blessing for us all to be together during this sad time. This home & owner met every need we had so there was no added stress. (we needed an iron, which most lake vacationers don't need. The owner had someone bring us an iron & board that night.) The only bad report any of us had to give was the cleanliness level & a poor GPS direction. I have chatted with the owner over what we found unsatisfactory. He was surprised & apologetic over the poor cleaning job. He immediately requested details so he could remedy all issues for future guests. I have given that and he responded with gratefulness. As for the GPS directions, avoid County Road 803! It is a dirt road that will cause you to waist more time than the saved milage. Stay on paved road til you come to Dam Road. We will be back! We all expressed the desire to return with the rest of the family for a full stay in the near future.

FOREVER on my vacay schedule
From the very beginning, David was quick to respond. He thoroughly addressed any questions about the property and surrounding area. We had a group of 20 and were very comfortable. Any cooking utensil you could think of is readily available. Paper towels and tissue are available, but bring your small back-ups. We left an air spray in each bathroom.....a must have. Towels are plentiful. Plenty of seating. The 2nd fridge came in handy. There is a massive cooler under the breakfast bar....very useful in keeping the fridge for food only. I can't say enough about the comfort level. Beds and pillows were PERFECT. If I could give the host more than 5*s.... I would. We drove from northern IL (12 hrs). Other family from north GA. David was able to accommodate our request to check in a little early. We were able to stagger arrival to avoid a rush all at once. Last note...be sure to assign rooms and have someone grab ice and drinks for the large cooler on the way in.....especially if you're there for more than 2 nights. We never had to leave Friday -Sunday. We loved your home.

We will be back!!
We had 5 families with dogs evacuating from Hurricane Ida. We booked the house on Friday and checked in on Saturday. David was very accommodating to us and answered all questions very quickly. Cannot say enough good things about the house itself or our time there. We were able to escape all the madness that comes with a hurricane for a few days. The house can definitely fit 30 people comfortably, the view of the lake is amazing and we had a great time on the canoe and jumping off the dock. We are already discussing how/when we can go back for a vacation instead of an evacuation.
