Wouldn’t
House needs some help. Dishes are dirty and left in the dish washer from previous guests. The dishes available are random and unorganized. The pullout mattress is filthy, flat and covered in stains. I did not check other mattresses due to being scared what I would see. The mattresses did seem to be very old though. Furniture is very outdated and impossible to clean. Shower in the basement leaks. Paint is falling off and chipped. There is a wasp infestation living in the ceiling fan on the back porch. Kitchen countertop is completely detached from the wall and unsecured. Garage play area is dirty. The kids didn’t want to play in it because of how dirty everything was. Bird nest is in the children’s play area doll house which poses a health hazard Dock is warped. Kayaks and paddle boards advertised but are actually at an additional cost per day. Gas grill is advised but it is a charcoal grill which would be good to know for additional planning purposes. We made the best of our stay as it was a family gathering, but it was nothing like we anticipated. We would not stay here again.

My trip was still fantastic but the house not so much.
Two biggest complaints: there was no WiFi and the air conditioning vent in the downstairs bathroom leaked so bad we had to use all the towels and eventually a large pot to keep the floor dry. Communication via guest contact was useless. I emailed the first time at 6pm on Thursday, and it’s Sunday and I’ve still not gotten a response. There are plenty of other things that can be said about this listing both good and bad: the view is amazing. The outdoor seating areas were fantastic. And the hot tub worked great for us. But I would not book this listing again.

Will NEVER stay here again! No words!
I definitely do not and would not ever suggest booking this rental! The photos are so misleading. Whoever took them understood the assignment! The house is really small. There is no way to sit at the table and allow people to be able to pass to the kitchen or front door. There is a funny smell that is trying to be covered by air freshener. The upstairs bathroom was moldy. The floors creaked very loudly. The carpet in bunk bed room was nasty. The stairs were difficult to walk up and down and the hand rail was too high. The bathroom downstairs was awkward with a cutout step up for the door. The furniture was in poor condition. Mattress was very very very firm. It was impossible to sleep downstairs with all the creaking from the beds upstairs and the floor sounding like it was fixing to fall through. The hot tub, which was one of the reasons we chose this property, would not heat up above 87 degrees. You could not enjoy sitting or fishing on the dock because there was a little row boat that was full of water and was actually causing the middle of the dock to dip down in the middle. The pool table and other games and doll houses are outside in the garage that only has a standup propane heater and no real seating. The dishes due to not having a water softener system had a white cloudy build up on them. There were no trash bags. In the checking in instructions it said the key was in a lockbox by the front door and what the code was when in actuality it was a keypad door lock, so we had spent 5-10 minutes looking for the lock box. There were several other things but this review is long enough. This was supposed to be a relaxing getaway weekend at the lake, but it ended up being a huge let down and left even more tired than when we arrived. It was definitely not worth the price that we paid.

Dumpy House
Great location and beautiful lot but the house is a dump. Lot of bugs inside. House needs major renovations. Upstairs bath has wood and tile rot. Dishwasher not bolted in and falls out. House needs water softner to treat the water which makes the dishes look dirty. No directions to operate TVs. Not worth the $.

Nice property but needs major updates
Wedid enjoy the house, very much. it’s a nice quiet lake location and owners were very responsive but house is very misleading. Upon arriving The house was not professionally cleaned. There was hair in bathroom drain, a dead cockroach in middle of bunk room. It was hard to find anything in kitchen because it’s all mixed up in cabinets. Pots were in 4 spots, oven was so filthy we couldn’t use it. Black smoke billowed out. owners were so gracious and offered to gone clean but we had small child and didn’t want fumes around a new infant. The bunk room claims twin sleeper sofa but it was literally falling apart, stuffing ripped out. Listing shows paddle boards but those were not present. It should be stated that game room /toys were in a detached garage. So children couldn’t be solo. There is no wifi, there’s a hotspot to pull off towers but wifi was unbelievably unreliable and Needs to be upgraded. We liked the house and location. All minor things but it def needs upgrading. Photos are very misleading.

Let's Caulk About It
First, I would like to congratulate the photographer for doing a smashing job! The pictures are the highlight of the listing. Let's talk about the pest control problem. The upstairs bathroom had shoddy caulking around the tub that seemed to be a haven for a bed of ants. Nothing kills a vacation like a pest problem. The tub was infested with ants upon arrival, but we were assured that the owner hired a company to take care of that issue: they did not. The ants came back day after day to bother all those who dared to impede upon their domain: the rental. Downstairs; I awoke one morning to find ants crawling on my shoulder and back - we have video. The hot-tub did not work on the first of our two day vacation. The house manager assured us that the owner would be contacted to remedy the issue because no one should have to deal with these issues. Thirdly, the smoke alarm was chirping upon arrival. After an hour-long exploratory deep-dive, we found out that someone had glued the top of the detector to the body to keep it from falling off: we removed the battery and informed the house manager. Fourth, there are ancillary (additional) fees for early check-in, late check-out, and boat rental ($50 ea.). The rental instructions noted that all of these services were available upon request, but did not mention that fees were associated. We recommended that the VRBO listing should be updated to clearly outline ALL fees associated with this rental. We feel as if ALL fees should be handled (as add-ons) through VRBO. Cash after the sale (rental) are monies often not reported as income to the IRS. The home is quite dated. There is a dank smell throughout. There are several signs of "attempted" renovations that did not pan out. There are several signs of leakage throughout, in fact, the caulking around the shower in the basement leaked so badly that we had to keep a mop handy. This was the most unenjoyable VRBO experience thus far. In our opinion, this property should NOT be on the market. This listing needs a major overhaul.

Perfect for a Family Vacation!
This home has a warm lived-in family feel. We went here instead of exchanging Christmas gifts! It was myself, my husband, my 2 grown children, and their families! (2 teen boys and 2 younger ones 7 & 8) We never left the house except to grocery shop! We played all day, every day! We all loved the garage... playing pool, ping pong, and foosball! We played a lot of board games on the great big wooden table! Also lots of arts n crafts there too! We watched movies in the basement movie room! My son brought his VR and we all enjoyed that also! Note: the wifi was a little sketchy and we had to use our hot spots. We all enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings & the kids did some fishing off the dock! We did fireworks on New Year's Eve in the firepit in the yard! My daughter and I enjoyed cooking and baking in the kitchen that has EVERYTHING!!! I needed a mixer (they had the mixer paddles but the machine part was missing) and called the host and she was gracious enough to bring me her personal one! The bedrooms were comfy too! Very tall beds, a little hard for myself (I'm 58) to get into but comfy once in! lol We all had so much fun!!! The teen boys never even wanted to play their normal video games! I highly recommend this lovely home for any family!

Good location, cleaning needed
Beautiful area and surroundings. Enjoyed the amenities on the exterior with the fire pit, dock, and hot tub. The interior areas could use better cleaning. The carpets in bedrooms had stains, the kitchen utensils were pretty beat up, and the bath tub on the main floor needs some maintenance. It looks like someone tried to repair the caulking and tile around the tub but didn’t do a good job. We left a note about an ant issue in the bathroom also. The renters before us must have used the heaters in the garage for a significant amount of time because the gas smell was so strong we couldn’t use it until the last day when it finally aired out. Check in was different than the instructions we received. The door code and primary point of contact were different. The woman maintaining the property was there upon arrival after check-in time and came 5 minutes before checkout. We would have preferred contactless entry/exit. The property had a nice cottage feel but the kitchen area and dining felt cramped even for our small family of 4. Not sure how you would fit 11 people at the dining area. Overall, we had an okay experience but wouldn’t rent again.

Nice place. We enjoyed our stay. Nice dock, the property is a little steep so you need to be in shape to navigate the steep accent from the dock. Hot is nice too. No issues with the house, nice beds and rooms. I know the " fees" are a part of it but I hate them. Especially when I have to clean it up before I leave. Nice place though. This is my second stay. Not sure I will again because of the fees. The downstairs shower is too small, but I really like the place.

We had an amazing stay at this property. It’s a great place to gather with friends and family for a lake getaway. The set up of the property is amazing. Also, there seemed to be some updated renovations to the property that are not pictured in the current listing. We had a great time. We also rented a wake boat for the weekend from Young Harris Water Sports and it was only a 10 min drive from the house and a 5 min boat ride back to the dock. There are cornhole boards, a ping pong table, and a pool table to play games with friends. We also enjoyed the grill and hot tub for hanging outside. We will definitely be back.
