Perfect family get away

We loved our stay at sweetwater. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. They had pots, pans, knives silverwear, utensils, towels paper products and even some fishing poles. We enjoyed renting the boat a few days. The boat is older but did the trick and the kids loved being able to use the tube!

Awesome house; great location!

This house is exactly how it looks in pictures! It was wonderful to stay out! The beach and lake are also just wonderful to have. My dad really enjoyed having the screened in porch and sitting out there while sipping his morning coffee. Getting the key out of the box is a little tricky but follow the directions and you’ll get it!

Wonderful relaxing vacation home

The Lake House was accurately listed, and a Wonderful relaxing vacation home. The small beach area was great along with the fire pit, canoes and dock. Inside was very comfortable and well stocked with all the essentials. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. the hosts were easy to get in contact with. If we get an opportunity, we will definitely stay here again. It was everything you would imagine a Lake Cottage would be like.

Beautiful lake cabin

What a beautiful getaway! The cabin was spacious, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views of the lake were absolutely stunning, and we loved spending evenings by the fireplace—it added such a warm and relaxing touch. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep after our days of exploring. We were also so grateful that the cabin is pet-friendly! It was wonderful to bring our furry companion along to enjoy the trip with us. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic retreat!

Wonderful Lake Cabin

Our family of 4 enjoyed your cabin so much! The location was perfect. Downtown Charlotte is about 30 min away, yet the cabin felt secluded and to our selves. The beach area was perfect. We enjoyed sitting and fishing off the dock each day/evening. Dinner on the screened in porch was perfect. Thank you for the wonderful beds, sheets, and towels. We will definitely be back again.

Comfy Cabin, Outstanding Host

The property was exactly as advertised; clean, comfortable, and spacious. Initially, there was no problem with any of the amenities, but eventually there were a few speed bumps. In each case, our host was immediately responsive and worked to resolve each issue as best that could be done. There was no indication of neglect, only poor timing/luck. Only one issue remained unresolvable, and we were graciously compensated for the inconvienence. I would recommend this property and would stay there again should we visit the area in the future.
