Cute little house on a beautiful lake. We enjoyed our stay. Be sure to take groceries with you because there are no restaurants or grocery stores close by.
Beautiful home. Beautiful dock lake on top of a mountain top. Very peaceful and quiet. Kayaking and fishing and laying near the semi lake beach was nice. No surprise wildlife. Theres neighbors if they are ever home or renters. They wasnt home when we was there.

We are delighted to hear that you had a peaceful and quiet stay enjoying our beautiful lake home, dock, and kayaking. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing mountain getaway!
We loved our cabin in the sky. The house was nicely decorated and well equipped. The dock area could have used some cleaning around it, but other than that, we loved our our 5 night stay.

Thank you for your review! I’ll check on the dock area you mentioned and address your comments. Thanks for the feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay.
Everything was as listed. This is a great getaway place located in a private community in a quiet setting. If your looking to enjoy a beautiful lake and some peace and quiet then I highly recommend this place. It was just what we needed as a family!
Curt was a courteous host! He went above and beyond for my friends and I. We had such a great stay, the home was cozy and had everything we would need. There was a variety of board games and streaming services. I highly recommend coming here, in the future I would return to this location.
A home away from home. Beautiful, clean cabin with a stunning view. The cabin had everything we needed. Curt was a great host. We didn’t need much, but still had great communication with the check-in / check-out process and letting us know that the lake was having work done to it. If we’re ever in the area, we would stay again. Thank you!
This little house was perfect for us as we were halfway through our camping vacation. We needed a place to sleep, shower and clean our clothes properly before moving on. The only suggestion is to upgrade your towels. They looked clean but when wet the washcloths were stained and dirty. The new decks were great but wish we had more time to enjoy them and the beautiful view.
The television was not customer friendly. Did not have usable passwords. The bathroom very clean and neat but just small.

Sorry to hear you had trouble with the TV. The passwords haven't been an issue previously. Once I reset the router for you, did you have more trouble? Everything seemed to be working when I left.
This rental property was perfect for our stay, and a great value for the price! The location is absolutely stunning!! Gorgeous lake front property with a dock! We had fires every evening in the fire pit and were pleased to see that there was wood provided. The house was immaculately clean. It is small, but cozy and perfect for our needs. The owners provided wonderful service to us, and they were so thoughtful in all the supplies left for us. The towels, sheets and blankets were all very clean and smelled fresh. Our only complaint was the bedroom that didn't have the attached porch had an uncomfortable mattress. The drive to the cabin we took two different routes. One route was very winding with hair pin curves, but the other route was much smoother and had gorgeous vistas! Overall, we were thrilled with this rental and would happily stay again!!
The lake house was super cute and perfect for our family of 4. The house was very clean and the host was very helpful when we reached out before our stay. We had no issues or complaints so other than the initial contact with the host we didn't need to bother them. The cabin being on the lake was perfect for the kids to fish, kayak and swim. We spent alot of time in the back yard and on the dock during our stay. The local neighbors were super nice and helpful.
This lake is in the middle of nowhere. It’s perfectly set up to drive the parkway though and the stargazing is perfect. I give two thumbs up and we will be back again.
