Our host was very attentive and the home was welcoming. Although many amenities were not useable because of the weather and time of year we enjoyed watching the fish jump and the scenery was beautiful.
The house was spacious and had a wonderful view of the lake. The kids loved swimming in the lake and taking kayak rides. The house was clean with a nicely stocked kitchen. We would definitely stay again!
Plenty of room for family ages 6 months to 83 years for a long weekend. Rented a pontoon boat for a day from one of the local marinas and the kids enjoyed the inflatables at Sportsman's Marina. The kitchen has everything we needed for family dinners and game nights.
This house is fantastic! My son got married in nearby Abingdon, Virginia and we stayed here for the weekend. It was perfect for my 11 adult kids. Spacious, welcoming, perfect gathering areas, great kitchen to cook, and exceptionally clean. Can't recommend this location enough!!
Booked this home for a large family before a wedding. The owner was very responsive to questions and was able to help us quickly with a reservation change. Plenty of great spaces indoors and out for gathering and conversation. Nice view of the lake. Definitely recommend.

Great get away!
We selected this place for a brief retreat for couples in ministry, and we were very pleased. The views of the lake and mountains are absolutely amazing, and the accommodations are wonderful. It is a great space to relax and have fun, whether coming as several couples, a large family or a group of people. We highly recommend this place!
We had a fantastic weekend. The house is gorgeous and beautifully decorated. Bethany and the homeowners are very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend this property rental.
I stayed at the Doug Out with 14 other people to include children and adults. We had a great time and enjoyed the lake, boat, and other activities. The layout of the house was great for our group.
The R2R Book club LOVED this awesome home! Everything was a expected and our host was very responsive. We all expect to return - either as a group or with our individual families.
The propery was just what we were hoping for. Plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beautiful views. Host was very responsive!!
This was the perfect house for our family of 12 - four generations. Fabulous view from the porch and sunroom. Plenty of space to relax. Great fishing and swimming off the dock, and a beautiful lake for kayaking. Well equipped kitchen. Bethany was awesome to work with. Our family is already planning a return trip next year!
