We stayed here for the Gardner-Webb football game and it was perfect. We had plenty of room to catch up and play cards and hang out as a family, which is exactly what we wanted to do. We slept well and comfortably - and the master bath shower was luxurious! Our host was incredibly gracious, accommodating and responsive. We will definitely stay here again!

Chillin At The Lake

This was a great place to get away for a bit. We stayed almost a week here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Coffee out on the desk in the mornings was a great way to start the day, and sitting out under the stars is the best way to end the day. This place also has the most amazing shower of any of the places we've stayed at through VRBO. They put a lot of effort into making this a comfortable home away from home, especially having plenty of towels for our stay which seems to be a rarity. We will certainly come back when we get a chance.
