Sliding Rock and Trout Haven Lodge Are Both Winners

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I, with our 2 dogs, have rented several homes in NC, SC, and GA over the last 20 years. Sliding Rock is our favorite company to rent from. This is our third time renting from them. Their homes are always super nice, clean, stocked, and dog friendly. Trout Haven Lodge is one of favorite places we have stayed. The home is beautiful and large with the master bedroom on the first floor. The huge great room along with the expansive screened porches with seating areas give plenty of room to spread out and relax. The kitchen is perfectly sized and stocked with everything you will need. The home is next to a large stream in the woods yet is easily accessible to stores, restaurants and surrounding points of interest.We found Trout Haven Lodge to be so relaxing we were happy staying on the property most of the week.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very nice and clean. Roomy for 6 guests. The road to cabin is a bit treacherous but worth it. The outdoor tv and grill area was a hit with the older kids, it was a bit cold for us older folks. All in all it was a great place and the water right out of the sink is delicious. I posted pics on facebook and people are wanting the rental info.
