The host was easily reachable and responded in a timely manner. The house looks like it is fairly new and well kept. The back porch is awesome, the bedrooms are all good sized and kitchen, dining and living areas are all spacious. We went during the winter so didn't use the lake at all, but the area if very pretty in general, and we did some hikes to waterfalls. Overall we would go back to this house again and would recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the Bankhead national forest area.
