Race Weekend Stay

Our group had a great time staying at this peaceful lake property. The lake is so quiet, and it was great to take a swim after a long day at VIR! All the drivers enjoyed a home cooked meal, and reviewing race video on the various TV options. Great accommodations.

Secret gem in Semora NC!

We had a group of 12, two families, for 5 days and we never ran out of things to do at this house! The way the rooms are spaced, and having two kitchens made it a dream stay for so many people! The lake is beautiful and not too busy. You can float, paddle board, and kayak safely. We will absolutely book again and again, We rent many, many VRBO's each year and this is one of the top homes that we have enjoyed!

Rejuvinating

Lovely property on beautiful lake in a quiet and peaceful location. The home was immaculately clean. Beds were comfortable and plenty of spaces to be together or apart. The dock is amazing for daytime fun in the sun or evenings catching fish and watching the sunsets. Just all around a great place to reconnect with family and rejuvinate!

Serene

Great location, very clean, and tranquil home away from home while my wife, daughter, and I were in town attending the annual Blue Ridge Rock Festival. It was exactly what we were seeking to have a homebase away from all the noise with plenty of space and a great natural view. Would book again. Fingers crossed internet is upgraded to fiber next year :)
