This home has a beautiful DIRECT view of the Lake! It was spacious and very clean! The owner tended to our every need including a refrigerator replacement!!!The number of bedrooms was sufficient for our party. Access to the lake via boats was plentiful. He even included firewood for us and propane gas for the gas grill! The home is located on a main road but also directly on the lake so the front bedrooms have to contend w a little road noise of vehicles passing through during the early morning hours but for the most part of the day the place is completely serene! Would definitely book again and is great for families or multiple guests! The fall foliage was just turning when we arrived and was pleasing to the eye! Book today and you won’t be disappointed!!!

This property was wonderful! John was very quick to respond and was so kind from booking until we left. We stayed for a wedding on Oak Mountain. It was about a 15 min drive. The house was so spacious and clean and was perfect for our 8 adults and 1 child. We all loved the upstairs loft, it was such a unique area. We cooked out and had breakfast every morning in the large kitchen and dining room. At night we hung out down by the water and then finished the evening all having family movie night! The living room was a perfect area for my parents and sisters, plus spouses to stretch out! It was wonderful to connect as a family and enjoy each others company. We all hope to come back to visit and to enjoy the house and property more!

John was so friendly and kind! He even called to let us know he was in no rush to have us leave, so we could take more time on the lake. The house is gorgeous, and the property beautiful, the view with the lake and mountains was breathtaking. Would love to stay here again!

Stayed at this property to enjoy the lake and surrounding area. Everything we needed was perfect from the moment we arrived. Better than the listing, manager very accommodating providing extra equipment for our family to enjoy the water. We would definitely recommend this property and tell anyone looking, to just BOOK IT! You will not be disappointed. Hope to go back next year!
