I preface my review by saying I am picky about where we stay. The listing and pictures just can’t do this place justice! You have to be there to fully appreciate how beautiful this property actually is.
My husband and I took our 3 kids (13,12,8) for a long weekend. I would’ve stayed longer, much longer, if we had time.
The creek was very low when we went but we played in it and found lots of fish, crawfish, snails. I took beautiful pictures of the kids on the rocks in and on the creek. We will be going back in the spring when the creek is up bc there are tubes there to float around the property. It’s like a la y river all the way around the property.
There are several areas set up to roast marshmallows (they even have the skewers hanging on a tree for you) with fire pits.
There’s several hammocks hung around the property. My daughter loved taking a blanket and a book and enjoying the hammock and the noise from the creek.
The pond was cold when we went BUT my children still got on the duck and rowed to the other side and back. I’m sure they will be in the pond in the Spring/Summer.
My kids fished from the dock. If you’re a serious angler, you can drive to public fishing close by but my youngest loved the small blue Gill and trout.
There’s a few large open flat areas for games, which are already there (horse shoes, badminton, and whatever). My son brought his football to toss.
There’s lanterns and lights strung throughout the property.
The house was stocked with EVERYTHING you could need..... or want. She even had several small flashlights at the foyer. I’m a planner/packer but really didn’t need anything bc she had thought of everything.
The house is beautiful! There’s a cabin feel but vintage/stylish decor throughout. Again, I’m pretty picky but this place was clean, modern, comfortable, and functional. I always pack extra throws bc not sure how often the extra linens get cleaned. Not here. Everything was clean, even smelled good. I usually have to make a couple of trips to the store when we go to the mountains. I made one trip for a few groceries, that’s it. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you she was so thoughtful.
The back porch was a favorite. There’s a big screen tv with a deep couch and fire pit table. My kids loved sitting out there.
Kim was so easy to work with. She responded immediately or very quickly. She really just wants you to enjoy your stay. It’s almost like visiting family. We’ll be back, hopefully soon.
