Great Get Away!

The property is beautiful. The house is fully stocked with anything you could need in the kitchen as well as linens and towels to support many people. We were able to celebrate a wedding with friends and family and enjoy all of what the lake had to offer. There were a few minor technical difficulties but overall I would definitely stay here again

Vacation on the lake

Our family enjoyed our visit to the Weiss Lake area. We were there for a wedding so we did not use the lake but did enjoy the sunsets. The house had everything we needed. Linda was very responsive to my questions. She even left some ice in the freezer after I asked about an ice maker. We did have a crawling infant and had to child proof some things. And the floors did leave dirt on his knees. Beware of the bunk bed it seemed a little wobbly. Over all a nice lake house.

Great mini vacation

Very nice and clean it's on out there but I loved it and planning on doing it again soon even though my brother in law fell on the music room steps the last night we were there and had to have twelve stitches in his eye and didn't get back to the house until four am. Over all we had a blast. I just ask everyone be careful on the steps.

Acosta’s Lake Vacation

We very much enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time. Everyone had an amazing time, and we would love the chance to go back. We utilized the water sport package and it was well worth it. Do not pass on this addition. The boats and kayaks provided endless hours of fun for the teens on our trip. The house had everything we would possibly need and plenty of room and space. WE LOVED the outdoor space to this property. We loved the huge porch being right at the lake and the fact that it was screened in. We absolutely loved the indoor/but almost seemed like an additional outdoor space with huge windows all the way around to enjoy the views of the lake. We went kayaking with our family two different days on the Terrapin Creek and had a wonderful time. I would recommend using No worries Kayak Rental over the Redneck Yacht Club. It seemed to be a little less organized than No worries and one of our Kayak’s was badly damaged from the Redneck Yacht Club. My husband and I kept on taking in water into our kayak, and it was extremely hard to navigate the kayak due to being filled up with water. We did not notice the patch prior to experiencing issues. However, it was still a fun experience both times for the most part.

Great view of the lake

The host was very responsive and accommodating. The coffee station was well stocked and there was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags. The double porches allowed us to really spread out. The main thing we liked was the unobstructed view of the lake. Just wish there had been another bathroom upstairs.

Great place to stay with plenty of room for the whole family. Fire pit was great for s’mores, and cornhole boards was fun for everyone. This place has everything you need to comfortably enjoy your vacation. Will be back again soon.
