Hello Alesia - We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your visit - looking forward to your return !
Great house for our family reunion. Flat yard and access to kayaks and lake added to our fun. We spent lots of time on the large deck under an awning talking & observing wildlife (woodpeckers, white squirrels, geese, hawk, deer). Good location close to DuPont State Forest with waterfalls mountain biking. Lots of private hiking trails to explore in this gated community. Owner very responsive.

We appreciate your review and glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the location and comfort of our home .
Our furniture in our screened in room is brand new so I am surprised that you found it outdated .
This is a beautiful location on the cove of a lake. Super quiet and private. The house is spacious, welcoming, and tidy. My family enjoyed their stay immensely.
We had a great stay. Rare to find a short walk from houses to the lake and huge flat backyard for kids to play as they enjoy the lake. Connestee is a wonderful community where the house is located. I would encourage anyone looking for a great getaway to consider Golden Arrow.
Great property and location on the water. Our host was great, always available and made sure we got in and settled properly. I would highly recommend this property. The best in Connestee falls so far, and we have stayed at quite a few.

Thank you Wes - You are one of our first guests so we appreciate your review and the fact you highly recommended our home .
We have stayed in many homes in NC and this was one of the best! It was very clean, updated, and it had everything we needed. The lake was beautiful and the backyard was huge. The home is in a great area near both forests and the community is full of wildlife. I highly recommend this home!

Hello Sarah - we so appreciate your great review . Glad you enjoyed our home
Everyone in my family enjoyed their stay at this beautiful house on the lake. We all enjoyed watching deer graze in the back yard and the kids enjoyed the Foosball table. Even though it rained every day of our vacation we still had a great time.

Thank you Jennifer for Your positive review - sorry to hear about the rain but glad you made the best of it .
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and very comfortable and had almost everything we needed for our stay. Our teen boys really enjoyed fishing and using the kayaks. There was plenty of room to spread out and come together. It was very relaxing and just what we needed. Thank you for opening your home to our family!

So glad you enjoyed your stay . Thank you Amanda for you positive review ! We welcome you back
The house was very clean and three of the four beds were comfortable memory foam matresses. We spent a lot of time on the acreened in porch and enjoyed daily visists from deer. Would definitely reccomend.
My family had a wonderful Christmas vacation here. The Connestee Falls neighborhood is beautiful with private trails and lots of amenities.
The home had everything we needed and was very cozy and comfortable - the wood burning fireplace was a huge plus and you can’t beat the access to the lake with a picturesque view.
Access and check in was easy for our entire party and communication was great. It’s clear the hosts care about providing a good experience for renters, thanks for a great stay!

Thanks Hanna for that great review we are so glad to hear you enjoyed your visit
We had a great time and this is a great house. Weather did not cooperate this trip and it rained a lot. This house made the difference. Plenty of room, great kitchen, nice upgrades. We had 6 people total and it was plenty of room. Nice decks, cool charcoal grill. I have stayed at a lot of places in Connestee and this is by far my new favorite. Close to back gate and golf course too.

Glad it is your new favorite house to rent in Connestee ! We just starting renting it around May of this year and have gotten a lot of favorable reviews. Thank you for your kind words .
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on this property! It was everything it said it was online. We have rented a number of homes in Connesstee over the years and this home was far and away our favorite. The home was very clean and well maintained. The mattress in the primary room was very comfortable. The updates to the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms were well done.
We enjoyed the use of the kayaks and canoe. We enjoyed the many hikes that we did in the immediate area as well as in Pisgah Forest, Blue Ridge Parkway and Dupont State Park!! The fall colors were spectacular!
We will definitely be back again!!

What makes this property unique
Not many areas have the amount of waterfalls, parks, hiking trails, water sports and mountain biking trails the Brevard area has to offer. You have the mountain feeling and peace without being super isolated ,,, Being in Connestee is an additional perk as we have our own trails and amenities to enjoy
