Was a quick getaway for the family & was looking to disconnect. We loved sitting on the dock & relaxing by the water. Gigi had everything you could possibly need (we've stayed at other VRBOs that had nothing extra). If you're looking for a cozy lake getaway - I highly recommend!

This was the perfect place for the 5 ladies to meet up and spend a relaxing weekend on the river. We spent the majority of our time on the back porch and loved every minute! The owners were awesome and very easy to communicate with! Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!

We stayed at A Little piece of Heaven from May 23rd till June 6th 2023. We had a very relaxing time, we had our little Yorkie with us she made herself at home. My Grandson lives close by and he brought his little family over to swim and fish and they loved it. GiGi and Pam the owners where perfect hosts. We wouldn't hesitate on booking again in the future...Thank You so much for a wonderful stay..George and Diane also Penny🐾

Everything was amazing. We spent 2 weeks here and are sad to leave. Gigi and family were great. Very personable And accommodating. Extremely clean (and I'm extremely picky about that) and the view is incredible. A little hideaway. My husband and I are already planning a return trip. Highly recommended and will definitely be recommending Gigi's place to all of our guests who visit from out of town.

We enjoyed our time at Gigi's basement lake retreat immensely. Think old school lake house vibe in a beautiful setting. It was very clean and comfortable. There is a steep set of stairs leading down to the dock and it is well worth the effort to enjoy the view and setting on the river. Or you can just sit on the patio outside and enjoy the view from there. You may even be visited by the resident Shih Tzu or one of her buddies. I loved watching the abundant bird and fish life. Wished I had brought a fishing pole and binoculars, but was content to sit and watch all the same. Our only regret was we couldn't stay longer.

Excellent getaway. Quiet, water and books. Wat I wanted. Took my dog with me for the first time, had to leave early and take him back home. But I will definitely be back. The canine host Sophie was a doll. I loved it. Overall cute vacation spot.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was peaceful and relaxing. Wilson Lake is so beautiful. Pam & Gigi we’re great! It’s only 15 minutes from Downtown Florence so it was easy to go grab a meal or explore. We definitely plan to return.

Excellent choice for a couple, family, or up to 4 fishermen. Especially if you bring a boat. We kept a boat on the attached dock for fishing the lower end of Wilson Lake. It was easy to take out and trailer to tailrace landings below Wilson and Wheeler Dams. New full size refrigerator.

We absolutely enjoyed our getaway. During this time of the pandemic, we wanted to choose a quiet place, closer to home. The owner communicated with us before we arrived and even checked on us during our stay to make sure we were comfortable and that we had all we needed! We definitely want to go back ASAP!! Her daddy used to call this his “Little Piece of Heaven” and it truly is.
