Our family - myself, the "Nana", two daughters and spouses and 4 kids ranging in ages from 9-18 all had a wonderful stay at this home. There was enough to do right around the house for at least a day and a half. Pedal boat, hot tub, the game room in the house is incredible - all kept everyone entertained. Some went fishing in the lake (it is a small lake -but still fun). Then... if that is not enough find a gazillions areas to go hiking within a 45 minute drive. We did a fantastic 9 mile hike - part of the AT- one day. Rested the next day in the hot tub! For the adults there are several wineries that were super fun. Children were welcome and there was plenty of room for them to run around while the adults chilled. The home itself has the best equipped kitchen I have ever encountered in a vacation rental. The owners are super communicative and quick with responses. Clear instructions - no overbearing "rules". Easy checkin and checkout. Highly recommend Lake Dakwa Lodge!! Elijah is cute town and Blue Ridge is an easy drive - had dinner there one night at Whiskey and Water - very good! Go and have fun!!!

We had the BEST weekend staying at this property! We had 13 girls in total and this house was SO spacious and had a bed for everyone! Some of the highlights of the home were the large gathering area upstairs and the Dining table that could fit all 13 girls with no problem. The cabin is well stocked with everything we could need and you can tell the owners take a lot of pride in their cabin. They texted me checking in the entirety of our stay and when we needed more bath towels, she had some delivered within hours! The only 4 star I gave was for cleanliness as there were some things left behind from the previous visitors (boxers in the closet, a qtip on the night stand) but nothing that could deter us from staying again! The Hot Tub was also very clean which is hard to find at vacation homes. We could have stayed a few more days and still had things to do with all the games and activities in the basement! Definitely saving this place for future trips!

The home is exactly like the photos. Beautiful and spacious. We had 8 adults and 5 children. And plenty to do in the house and in town. The attention to details to the space for children and even having headphones for the piano so the kids could play without driving the adults crazy. The views, the lake and the jacuzzi were by far my favorite. We will definitely be back!
