We had a splendid time swimming off the dock, paddleboarding, and canoeing. The house is well equipped, comfortable, and fun. The owners were very accommodating and communicative.

Great outdoor area, gated deck is very helpful for young children, would certainly stay here again.

The house had plenty of space and things to do during our stay. We enjoyed being able to go paddle boarding and taking our jet skis out as well. The games in the house came in handy during the rainy days. There were trails for hiking and nice swimming holes too. The marina was close by and boat ramp was easy to find. We had a great stay and would come back again for another vacation.

Beautiful location and house. Peaceful neighborhood with nice neighbors. Well equipped house

Before arriving we received several emails detailing not only our check in process but also a list of fun things to do in the area and items provided and not provided by the host. To say the communication and quick responsiveness from John was excellent would be an understatement. The house was clean upon arrival and well stocked with all the kitchen items one would need, toilet paper, paper towels, extra blankets, cleaning supplies etc. The kitchen had tons of cups, utensils, pots, baking sheets, crock pot, blender, mixing bowls, measuring cups, cutting boards.... we were very impressed. The 3 level house was spacious and each level had its own full bathroom. We had trouble getting one of the TVs to work and within 2 minutes (literally) of sending a message through VRBO to John he was calling us to walk us through the resolution. The large deck off the main floor had gates at each of the steps which made it easy to contain our Littles and allow them to play outside on it without worry of them going down to the water. The backyard is nice, a feature not many of the other lakes houses have, and we enjoyed playing ball, driving monster trucks etc on it. Down by the Lake is a large fire pit in additional to the gas fire option on the main deck. Grocery store was only 10 minutes away and we had no trouble finding hikes, waterfalls and mountain exploring within close vicinity. We stayed for 9 nights and didn't have a single complaint!

Great 2 week stay! Rented a boat. Very convenient to dock. Fun water toys available. Wonderful covered porch and deck.

We had a wonderful week staying in this lake front home. This is the third summer in a row we have rented this property. The newly renovated kitchen, all new flooring, covered deck and comfortable deck furniture made it even more enjoyable. There is plenty to do right there at the house--swimming, fishing, canoeing, paddle boards, fire pit, ping pong table and games. John Drummond always responded to any emails quickly. I would recommend this vacation property to any family looking for a great place to stay on Lake Santeetlah.

The house was great. Very family friendly spaces, with a great space for older kids to hang downstairs. The dock was nice and the cove is very clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

Loved the covered. Back deck & lake view. Great gathering area. Loved the grassy lawn sloping to lake. Well lighted at night. Only suggestion would be to provide some clothes racks for upstairs bedroom & downstairs bedroom as they don’t have available closets. Some light under last step down onto deck would be helpful. All said. & done it was a very nice well kept property & enjoyed our stay very much!

We took our family to the house and we all had a great time. The house is right on the water with a great dock to fish and swim from. Kids loved swimming in the lake and paddle boarding. House has plenty of beds, the kitchen looks brand new and has living rooms with tvs upstairs and down. Lots of games for kids to play with and screened in outside ping pong room. The highlight of the house is a beautiful back deck with a giant vaulted ceiling, great for sitting and looking at the lake. Not far from Tapoco lodge and great hiking trails.

We enjoyed our vacation stay at your home. Perfect for getting away and not being in crowds during October. Weather was perfect for our kayak trips around the picture perfect Lake Santeetlah! Everything was as described at this beautiful spacious home. Look forward to returning in the future.

Wonderful home! Owner communication was excellent. We plan to return next year, Lake Santeelah is a special place.

Great Lake house with plenty of room inside and out for our family to stretch out and enjoy. Great deck, dock and fire pit that we put to good use.

Great for the adults and the kids.

We cooked every night and ate in. We had everything we needed with the food we brought and bought locally. Easy access to grocery shopping. However, this is a dry county, so be prepared to drive a ways to buy alcohol. We had a birthday party for our July birthdays - there were no cake pans (we bought 2 and left them for future guests). We played in the water every day. Lots of swimming. Enjoyed the owner's paddle boards. Parked our jet skis at the dock and used them regularly. Lots of games to entertain ourselves when out of the water. There were nightly ping-pong 'tournaments'. TV was perfect for the kids during quiet times. Wifi access was very good for the student amongs us working on her degree. We would have liked a few more towels in the bathrooms, but we managed since we had a washer/dryer available.

What a great vacation! The house was clean and the lake was beautiful. The ping pong table was a hit when it rained. It was a great place all around.

This was actually our second year renting this property. All of our family had so much fun last year, they wanted to return this year. There is lots to do at the house and in the surrounding area. The upgrade to the dock and walkway to get there was an added plus. Also the new Adirondack chairs on the dock and new living room furniture were great.

We loved every second of our stay at this property. The house had everything we needed and more. Quiet cove, yard, and firepit were perfect. Thank you again, we'll definitely be back next year and years to come!

Our family had a blast with all the games, paddle boards and the wonderful lay out of this house. We will definitely be renting again!

We enjoyed having a house on the lake in a quiet cove. The kids could swim without any boat traffic. The house was beautiful with plenty of room for everyone to spread out in their own areas. It was clean and offered many kid friendly games and activities. We would definitely return to this home!

We found the cabin to be clean and spacious. We really enjoyed using the ping pong table and the paddle boards. The owners were very responsive to any issues that arose. I would love to see them put a lounge chair outside somewhere. The area is quiet and peaceful. We would definitely rent there again.

Enjoyed the nice peaceful cove and had ample room for two families. Kids enjoyed staying downstairs. Nice porch and dock for relaxing.

We stayed a wonderful week and loved everything. Owners were great and very responsive. Relaxing deck where we ate out every meal with views of the lake. Comfortable beds. Good location for hiking etc. Great to have three full baths. Watched stars on the lake deck at night. Wonderful to have paddle boards provided. Only noteworthy items are the kayak was filled with water (super heavy to move) and AC was not able to be controlled except short term.
