Thank you for staying with us at Away to the Lake. We are so excited your "Girls Weekend" went well and you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
The place was great. Only complaint was that one of the trees by the house kept dropping acorns on the roof the whole time.

Thank you for your review of Away to the Lake. Unfortunately, acorns drop this time of year in the mountains. However, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay nonetheless. We look forward to seeing you again.
The stay was very nice. Be sure to get everything you need down to the lake and do not forget anything. The walk back up is long

We appreciate your review about Away to the Lake and trust you had a great bachelor trip here. We look forward to hosting you again soon after you are married! We thank you for staying with us.
We are so glad to hear that you had a great time at the lake house! Thank you so much for staying with us and sharing this with us and we do hope to be able to host you again soon!
House is beautiful, kitchen exceptionally well outfitted, view from deck is great and at the dock there are three kayaks and a canoe. We had a blast. It is a good walk down the stairs from the house to the dock, so that is just something to be aware of for the mobility impaired.

Thank you for staying with uss at Away to the Lake. We are so happy you enjoyed your time here. We look forward to hosting you again in Blue Ridge soon.
This place was great, BUT it's a massive hike to and from the dock. The dock is great! Wonderfully deep spot in a nice wide channel. Clean water! Wonderful spot.But man, it was a significant hike up and down. You gotta earn your lake time. House was as expected. Pictures do a good job of showing what you get there. But I felt the pictures under sold that hike a lot.
We met some friends at this cabin for a long weekend. We loved that it was located on the lake (it was quite a hike up and down to the dock, but it was manageable). The space was perfect with a great downstairs space for the kids and plenty of bedrooms for adults. The kitchen had lots of small appliances and was updated nicely. We got lots of use of the hot tub, the kayaks, and the deck. Waking up to rain on the tin roof was a wonderful surprise. Would definitely recommend staying here!
