Winter Getaway
The hot tub was a huge hit. The husbands and kids enjoyed the dock for fishing and feeding the ducks. The house was spacious enough to give the kids their own space downstairs, while the adults could hang out upstairs. The only thing that was a negative was the two times that realtors showed up unannounced to show the house.

Barefoot Fun'
Great house. Tons of sleeping space. 1st rate Gameroom TV viewing area. Hot tub was clean and hot with outdoor TV. Pathway to dock smooth and easier than stairs. Dock has boat lift. Small beach w stairs. Minutes from Bridgewater, Websters, Hales Ford, Jakes, Exxon, Harris Teeter. Easy to rent boats, get food, gas, and entertain the family. Host especially good with communication. A relief from the hassle of VACASA communications. A wee bit noisy due to bridge traffic and steady weekend boat traffic. Otherwise TRY IT!

Sun and Fun Lake Get Away!
My friends and I had a wonderful time at this lake house. We enjoyed sitting on the covered porch with our coffee as the sun came up and cast lovely colors on the lake. The dock was a beautiful place to view the sunset. The location was close to the state park with nice hikes. We also enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and pool table. The kitchen was well stocked. I’m glad the food Lion was close. We did need to pick up hand soap, TP, and paper towels. Overall, I would definitely recommend this rental home.

Family reunion/celebration of life
The location of the house by land and water was great. The house was great with the exception of the water pressure. The owner was great about fixing the issue. The hot tub was spot on.
