We had a good visit but the property has been a little neglected and needed some cleaning inside and out. It has great potential but just hasn't been tended to like it needs.

Breath taking experience
My stay was pleasant to say the least.. Absolutely beautiful home and backyard layout.. Plenty of board games to choose from.. Definitely recommend this cabin..
Loved the house. It had everything we wanted/needed and more. We came to the area to relax during fall break with a few visits to Apple orchards and nearby Blueridge Arts festival and couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice of our vacation home. It was also very clean & peaceful and the lake is just tranquil. Highly recommended!!
We enjoyed this property very much. It was decorated beautifully and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable! We played games after enjoying dinner cooked on the grill out back. The property was not too far from other areas we wanted to visit. The property manager was very responsive and attentive to anything we needed. Highly recommend this VRBO.
This house has everything. Game/Theater room. Fantastic kitchen to cook in. Great outdoor space to hang out with a fire pit. We loved it and will be back.
This cabin was very modern and beautiful.. The host did a great job of providing essentials and entertainment.. The beds were super comfy and nice.. My favorite part was the view of the lake and the layout of the property out back.. The basement was pretty cool too.. Definitely would recommend to other tourists/visitors..

Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location
Pros: beautiful house inside and out, nice neighborhood with privacy, lake had fish, arcade/lower level was fun, comfy beds, nice shower pressure, kitchen had everything we needed, house was clean (except lower queen bed), and house was easy to get to and close to everything. Cons: address was listed wrong on Vrbo and Evolve, my code did not work when I first arrived, the lilies in the lake were annoying while trying to fish, gnats in the house, lower queen bed was not clean, the trash outside was so full, and I believe a bear got into it on our last night because trash was everywhere, there was a lot of new houses being built so lots of construction noises while we were trying to fish, and driveway was kinda steep.
Beautiful place indoor and outdoor!! Bedrooms are comfortable living room and family room amazing. Kitchen,laundry and game room perfect.All in all a peaceful and relaxing place to stay.
But there was no brooms to sweep the deck and no mops for the floor just in case we needed it. Not enough trash bags or paper towels. Sorry to say but the bathroom and kitchen floors was not clean(mostly the bathrooms) towels had hair in them so we had to washthem before useing them. The area by the fire pit was beautiful! Especially at night the lights are prefect. We did have problems getting down to lake to fish. Would we come again Hell Yes!!! We are ready
