Center Hill Chalet w/ lake view!

L PatrickRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We came into town for a wedding, and the place was perfect for our stay. Kellie was quick to respond and helpful with any questions we had. Although we were away during the sunset and evening, the morning was incredibly peaceful. After returning from the wedding, we relaxed in the cozy living room—watching TV and catching up with family before heading to bed. The beds downstairs were very comfortable, and waking up to birdsong and the peaceful outdoor setting made for a lovely start to the day. It was a memorable stay, and we hope to return someday!😁

Hidden Harbor House - Backyard Lake Access

JenniferRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Great place! Very clean. I would definitely consider staying again if we vacation in the same area. We appreciated having two common rooms for our extended family to stay together, nice bedrooms and extra sleeping spaces in basement common room, and good # of bathrooms. The deck was a nice place to sit/rock and enjoy the peaceful winter days (when warm enough). Basement (2 bedrooms and baths + a common space) was cold but mostly taken care of by quality space heaters. We liked being able to walk to the small marina and through the campground loops. Extremely quiet area during our winter holiday visit. I imagine there is more action in the summer (lake) months. Thanks for a quality stay!

Falling Water Retreat

Had a fantastic weekend stay with friends at this beautiful lakeside cabin. Very comfortable, spacious home in a peaceful lakeshore community. We enjoyed relaxing weekend of porch sitting, cornhole, and board games, and visited a nearby marina for food and live music. Burgess Falls was also a short drive away for anyone interested in a great hike. Russ was a fantastic host, excellent communication and has thought of everything to make the stay fun and relaxing. Highly recommend and would love to stay again if in the area!

Cane Creek Cottage at Fall Creek Falls

JeffRating, 5 stars6 days ago

For the purpose of our trip which was to take in 6 or 7 waterfalls, it was a perfect location. Cane Creek Falls, Rockhouse Falls, Fall Creek Falls and Piney Falls are within minutes of this Cottage. This was spacious place with a wonderful wrap-around porch. The Wifi worked well and have pretty good reach outside as well. Plenty of wood was there for use for the fire pit. The HVAC system cooled the place with ease. Definitely a private location. Other than cars passing by, we saw no one. Ha. There is a Dollar General about 10 miles away, so you need to plan ahead for getting groceries there. These are curve mountain roads, so you don't get anywhere quickly, but we expected that. We didn't use the hot tub, but there was one there in good working order. There were string lights up and down, so when it got dark, there was no problem seeing your way around. We really enjoyed this location and would reserve it again if we visited this area in the future. Thanks for the great stay!
