It’s hard to know where to begin because there are so many positives about this property and the hosts. We have stayed in many VRBO’s, but this was the best in so many ways. I can’t say enough about how great the hosts were. They responded to every question immediately and were so helpful and nice. We notified them after dark on the first night we were there about the battery needing charged in one of the fishing boats expecting them to address it in the morning. But they sent someone out that night who replaced the batteries in both boats and a motor in one. The property is immaculate, beautiful, super clean and so peaceful. Check in and out was a breeze. We loved that it was secluded since there were 24 of us ranging from 2 to 69 years old, so we didn’t have to worry about the kids being noisy. The walking trail through the woods is awesome and the fishing was great. The basketball court was great for playing basketball and pickle ball that we brought with us. We have never stayed anywhere that literally provided everything you could possibly need and plenty of it. They thought of everything. There was even a welcome basket when we arrived that had the most amazing things in it. I could go on and on about this place and the hosts and still feel like I haven’t done justice with this review. I’ll wrap this up by saying I have never written a review anywhere near the length of this one. Can’t wait to come back.

We had our wedding here at The Veranda and I cannot recommend the property enough! Our wedding party stayed at the house with us - we used the basketball court, the pool (a lot), boats in the lake, and enjoyed all the quaint views. Our friends and guests alike could not have said better things about the property. The owners and their team went out of their way all weekend to make sure we had everything we needed. We will be back!

Veranda is a wonderful place to spend quiet time with family. We celebrated Mother's day at the Veranda with family coming in from Virginia and Dallas (May 11-15). My brother-in-law enjoyed fishing off the dock. He caught lots of fish. The fire pit was easy and fully stocked with wood. It rained 2 days during our stay but no one cared. There was enough room for all 6 of us. The commercial stove/oven took a little getting used to even though we have a gas stove at home. The screen in porch and out door porch areas are so peaceful to enjoy. The pool area was nice but a little too cold for us to enjoy in May. WiFi was great throughout the house as well TV. The host was attentive to all our needs. Our group was small enough that we did not use the bunkhouse but it was adorable. The bedroom on the first floor was absolutely perfect for my 89 year old mom with a walk in shower. If you are looking for a place, to relax and have amazing views and privacy - the Veranda is a place for you!

We spent three nights at the Veranda for a Family Reunion/Eclipse Viewing trip. Everyone loved it and thought it was ideal for our large group. We enjoyed boating and fishing on the private lake, walking the trails, nights by the fire circle, gathering in the gazebo, and opening the themed gift basket just for us. The owners were very generous with their time in giving us a tour of the property a few months before our visit. The caretaker was very responsive and went above and beyond in sending by mail a couple of items that we left. We came from New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, Virginia and No. Carolina and it was well worth the trip. We highly recommend The Veranda!
