Lakefront Chalet W/ Unmatched Views, Hot Tub/Wifi/Pool Table!

We absolutely loved the house, space and views. The best thing about the house is the amazing view, which is visible from almost anywhere in the house. The dock was perfect for relaxing and we enjoyed the jaccuzzi too. There are some suggestions I can make for future visitors; be prepared to drive up many steep curves with no rails to get to the house. We are city people and had no idea the drive to the house was so scary. I wouldn't drive at night, to or from the house as it is difficult to see. We were in a large Ford E-350 van, which made turning around on the one way road quite a challenge, but it wasn't impossible. There are exactly eight large towels and we were in a group of eight-- needless to say that we washed the towels frequently. There is no cell phone service, but the house has free wifi. One major complaint from the group was the quality/cleanliness of the bed sheets. I should have brought my own as the ones in the house had makeup stains and didn't look so clean. Some great points to not be overlooked is the large space, the beautiful home and the proximity to white water rafting. We used Adventurous Fast River Rafting-- what a great experience! We also took a 2 hour drive to Asheville to the Biltmore Estate, which was a wonderful time. All in all we really had an amazing vacation and enjoyed the house very much (cooked all three meals everyday!).

This house has an absolutely beautiful view. Breakfast on the porch was awesome! Lots of room for families. We had a great time, but did have a few suggestions for future renters. One was we brought our own boat. DEFINATELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! The road leading to the home is extremely narrow and steep. There was no way to get boat to the home, we had to leave it at the bottom of the mountain until the next day because the marina was already closed for the evening. But once we were able to get it in and at the dock, it was great to use and explore the lake. Maybe a rental boat would have been better. Also, this home is three stories, so lots of stairs to climb as well as lots of steep stairs down to the dock, so would not suggest for people who have knee problems or small children. We had two small children (2 and under) which made it a little hard carrying them up and down the stairs just to go to the water. Also, we could not get any cell service at the home (had three different cell carriers) and the phone at the house is for local calls only so we had no way to contact owner with regards to any problems. Also, house had a mice problem. I understand you are in the woods, but we had to buy plastic containers to put our food in (and mice traps) as the mice were eating everything and leaving droppings all over the kitchen counters! Overall the stay was good with the exception of these few things. Definately for the person who wants to enjoy the outdoors and relax!
