Bad Weekend - Good Rental!
Review Submitted: October 6, 2009
Date of Stay: October 2009
This beautiful property made a long weekend with my in-laws so much more bearable! We rented a boat from the Herrington Lake Marina and spent some time on the lake (though it was really a bit windy that day, not great boating weather). We did some fishing and didn't have much luck but you know what they say "A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work!" and with views like these it's even more true. My in-laws visited the nearby Wild Turkey Distillery and seemed to enjoy it.
We did a lot of cooking over the course of the weekend as we did not go 'out' for any meals. We had everything we needed for cooking except for a cheese grater (if it was there we sure couldn't find it). Overall though I would say that the kitchen is exceptionally well equipped compared to other rentals I have had.
The surroundings were peaceful and quiet. There is very little if any traffic coming down to this end of the road and we never heard a peep from the neighbors all weekend except for the one directly next door who is more than glad to help out if you need anything. The neighbor's dog, Bruiser, is a friendly guy and will probably stop over to visit you at some point =)
The house is exactly as described in the advertisement. As for the rocks mentioned in many reviews which need to be crossed to get to the dock, my father has one paralyzed leg and wears a brace on that leg and he was able to negotiate the rock area. I think any able bodied person won't have too much trouble crossing them.
Something I would point out that others may not realize is that the photo of the outdoor table and chairs that appears to be next to the bank of the lake is actually quite a bit above it with a fairly sheer rock face at the lakeside in this area. If you actually want to walk to the edge of the water you can do that at the dock or boat ramp just down the hill. I don't think that the owners are being deceptive with that photo, just that it isn't exactly what it looks like because a 2d image can't really tell the whole story sometimes!
We look forward to renting Haddix Point Hideaway in the future when we stay in this area!
Owner's Response: Good idea! We will have a chesse grater there for your next visit.
