Beauty, Seclusion and So Much More

Jackie R. Asheville, NC
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2007
My family and I stayed at "On Golden Pond" in late July, 2009. We were very pleasantly surprised at the beautiful secluded location and all that you get for a very reasonable rental rate. Beautiful hot tub, firepit outside for evenings under the stars and making s'mores, fully loaded kitchen with a dishwasher (no need to bring any kitchen stuff), room to sleep 7-8 on very comfortable beds with lots of linens and everything you could ever need. The house is very charmingly decorated and homey. There are lots of outdoor activities very close by i.e., hiking, boating, fishing, swimming and more. Also the owners were very friendly and helpful in sending us valuable information and e-mails about activities in the area. They were a pleasure to rent from! We'll be back!

On Golden Pond

J. and H. Weddington, NC
Review Submitted: July 14, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
As advertised, a comfortable and private home relatively close to many activities/attractions. The community lake (a pleasant 5 minute walk) is primarily used for fishing (a lot of big fish) but my family used it for swimming (very clear, spring-fed lake). There was also a paddle boat. Another renter mentioned the drive way. It is indeed quite steep and made of gravel. Though this didn't bother me, it made my wife nervous and I think it could be a challenge with a lot of rain or snow. The house itself is comfortable. Three full bathrooms helped after a day of tubing or hiking. The satellite tv was great but there is not a dvd player. The master bedroom is in the loft and therefore less private (no door but it is on a separate level over the living room). The owners are very considerate and provided a lot of detailed information on things to do and see. If you are looking for a fancy chalet in mint condition, this isn't likely for you. However, it was what we expected (clean and comfortable) and for the price a very good deal. We would definitely stay here again.

Four wheel drive recommended

family of 4 with a teenager Augusta, KS, USA
Review Submitted: June 10, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My family rented On Golden Pond May 30th thru June 6th. The owner provided us with a lot of information prior to our arrival regarding the area. This was very much appreciated and was helpful with being able to plan prior to traveling. The home was adequate for our needs though it does need a little TLC. The kitchen nicely stocked. Home is in a good location as there is much to do in the area. The fishing pond that is on the property, is really located in the area, not directly where the house is. The driveway to the home is very steep and is gravel/dirt. We traveled in a two wheel drive pickup and getting up the drive was difficult on a good day. The last two days of our stay it rained making it impossible to get back to the house. We ended up leaving a day early to ensure that we did not have issues getting back up the driveway. I would highly recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle when staying at this location. If you have teen-agers and use AT&T for cell phone service (this is our carrier) there is NO cell phone signal at the property. I would stay at this location again, but would bring a 4 wheel drive vehicle!

Owner's Response: True driving a pickup up a hill can sometimes be a little difficult not knowing how to drive a truck in the mountains, most people do add a little weight to the rear truck bed to balance the front engine with the rear wheels and if you do that you can drive any where in the mountains . I wished they would have called me It was such a simple fix.

Great place / great location!

blizz01 Jacksonville, FL USA
Review Submitted: May 13, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We stayed in April with our little girl & had a blast. There is a tranquil "village" atmosphere in the community & despite being in such close proximity to so many attractions, we were equally content to stay "home" as the house offers so much in terms of R&R. Everything seemed crisp & updated - including freshly planted flowers, a nice HD television, & cozy beds. I'm glad we found a gem on our first attempt as we will certainly be back in the not too distant future.......

please our guest in every way. We know this is your vacation
and our goal is to provide our guest with all the amenities that
will provide comfort and pleasure. Again thank you so much for your wonderful review.

peace and serenity

Michie Durham
Review Submitted: December 11, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
This is the best place to go and rejuvinate your soul. I feel like all my worries and stress leave when I turn onto Tabacco Branch rd. Then I always sit in the hot tub at night to continue the relaxation and if that isn't enough I love love love to go down to one of the Fontana Lake inlets to just foat on the water (no motorized boats). There is always hiking, white water rafting, and tubing that are a blast when I'm in the mood to move around again.
