We are covered with flea bites and the owner won’t pay for the doctor appointment or discomfort. Don’t stay here

Enjoyed our quiet and relaxing stay.

We had an awesome time at the lake house! The dogs loved roaming around the fire pit while we made smores with hot chocolate!!!! Close to everything but far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet!!!

The location was great just not hauling trailer friendly. Stove and oven needs to be cleaned but overall a very clean place

Had some beautiful nights watching a meteor shower. Never seen so many stars!

Great place

Thanks Donna! That was very relaxing and fun!

We thought it was real nice.

The cabin had everything you needed! We love Robbinsville. There are so many places to go hiking.

It was a quick & easy process of checking in & out. My husband & I just came with our Harley in tow to conquer the Dragon, which we did several times! It was awesome! We also enjoyed the scenery, fishing at the nearby lake & took advantage of the kayaks provided with the property.

My husband and I enjoyed the recent stay so much none of us wanted to leave and go back to the real world.

Dog-friendly, easy lake access and kayaks, clean space, large kitchen, nice deck/porch. cool A/C. Internet is fairly slow but we were able to stream TV shows adequately. We had a nice stay and would return.

I loved how secluded this house was from everyone else. It was the perfect getaway to recharge my mental batteries. Thank you!

The cabin was spectacularly located. Access to all things the area is noted for and a wonderful experience. We will be back. Hopefully sooner than later. Outdoor, bike, sports car enthusiast this is the place to be. Owner is wonderful.

We stayed two nights after our wedding at a local venue. We didn't arrive the first night until 4 a.m. and left for the day to see family at 11 the next morning. We didn't get back to the rental until after midnight the second night and were so exhausted that we went to bed immediately and slept until about 30 minutes before checkout the next morning. At some point an unsecured kayak was stolen from the rental property. This caused us concern bc we had left our things in the rental while we were gone. The host immediately blamed us, and even after we told her that we hadn't used or even seen the kayaks and hadn't been on the property the majority of the time we had it rented she continued to accuse us of stealing the kayak. After further discussion she changed her mind and said the new neighbors probably took it, but we had to pay for a new kayak bc we were staying when it disappeared. Luckily VRBO assured us that we couldn't just be charged for it and relieved that concern. Bottom line while the house was sufficiently clean and comfortable it's not worth the risk of having a problem with the rental and dealing with an unreasonable host who has no regard for the facts. In addition there's reason for concern about safety bc there were no security cameras and no safety measures in place to prevent theft and evidently no insurance to pay for loss or damage.

This house is a bit outdated but super super clean and very comfy. The location is very private feeling and located in a culdesac shared only with an abandoned house. It has direct lake access and the kayaks were newish and awesome! We loved our stay but unfortunately discovered a badly injured stray kitten and had to leave in a hurry to seek help for it. It set a sad tone to our otherwise great stay and we had to leave some things behind due to the sense of urgency. I Do Highly recommend this little lake gem though! Thanks Donna for such a cozy stay and let us know how you liked our hot sauce we left for you! we make it here in Asheville! -

Donna was amazing she’s a super helpful host and goes out of her way to accommodate your stay. Loved how close we where to the lake, the back yard was wonderful for a night fire (just double check for dog poop a previous guest didn’t clean up after there dog), over all this was exactly what we where looking for. We enjoyed the afternoon kayaking, and the evening fishing and hanging by the fire we woke up early to rent a boat and spend the day out on it before driving home.

This is a very cute little property; photos are accurate, and having the kayaks was awesome. Donna the host responded to messages very quickly and was very friendly. We had everything we needed, including tons of towels :) The only minor downsides are that the property is located right next to the main road and a bridge, and there is a lot of loud motorcycle noise (obviously the host cannot help that), and the internet is VERY slow; we were unable to stream any shows on the smart TV or our laptops, not use out hotspot as cell service for both T-Mobile and Verizon was very spotty; again, this is in no way the fault of the host). We enjoyed ourselves!

Perfect couple getaway! We had a wonderful stay and everyone was very friendly. The kayaks were a fantastic treat. Dog friendly and very clean.

Everything was great! Clean and neat √ Provided: Towels √ Extra pillows√ Pots and dishes √ Refrigerator √ Slow Cocker √ Washer and Drier w detergent √ TV in living room √ Slow Wifi DVD player√ Treat for dogs √ One small fee for dogs√ Outdoor FirePit√ Two kayaks√ Places info to enjoy√ Awesome Landlady√ Book again? Definitely √ The only issue was the smell of marijuana from the previous guest. No matter how much Febreze I sprayed, the smell was stuck to everything, but that's not the property owner's fault. :( We love the place definitely recommend it!

We travel to the area every year and found Donna’s property by accident but loved it will differently be back

Enjoyed our stay. Right on the lake. Very quiet and cozy. Perfect for the 3 of us and our pup. Its like being at home with all the things included such as washer/dryer. Dishes, coffee maker etc. Very pleased with our decision to choose this place.

We had a great stay and will definitely be back! The property was private and perfect for my dog. The water was quiet and it felt like the entire cove was ours. Donna was a fabulous host!

It was great ! Was right on the water and all to ourselves. Can't beat it for the price.

We had an amazing lakehouse experience. The location feels remote even though we were still close to town. Loved the front porch with views of the mountains and the lake. Amenities are as stated, with everything you will need to cook with. Bed and living room sofa were very comfortable with plenty of blankets and extra pillows. We would absolutely love to return to Iris's lake house!

It didn't feel clean. The bathroom was okay and kitchen. It was the rugs more than anything, old and dirty feeling. Overall I wasn't comfortable. We got in late, never could find the switch for the kitchen lights, and left first thing in the morning.

My significant other and I stayed here for 3 nights and each night was amazing! The place was so cozy and just absolutely incredible. Donna is an amazing VRBO host and I can't thank her enough for the amazing stay!

We very much enjoyed our stay! It is in an awesome location, feet away from the lake and a short drive to great hiking spots/restaurants. The host is extremely responsive, kind and helpful about anything and everything. We will be back soon!

Context: my friend and I stayed here for a night to explore the surrounding scenery in JanuaryThe good:-landlady was incredibly communicative and responds extremely quickly, as well as being very nice and respectful-the price is very affordable and a good deal for what we were provided-the interior, while dated, is quite cozy-the bed is very comfortably firm while still having some give, slept fantastically-the lake view is incredible with the mountains surrounding itThe bad:-the space heater in the living room is the only heat source in the building and is not nearly powerful enough to heat the building effectively during the winter months (be prepared to wear layers indoors)-the property is a little dirty and run-down, with a few uncovered holes in the wall and a slightly grimey shower-some interior elements could use repairOverall: you get what you pay for and some more. If you are visiting during the winter months, it is quite cold inside, but that is easy to solve with layers. I wouldn't mind coming back.

Loved our stay! We fished the lake, enjoyed the kayaks, visited nearby mountains and waterfalls and relaxed on the deck! The kitchen is fully stocked so we were able to cook. Plenty of towels in the bathroom. Honesty it felt like a small apartment! The couch is lounge worthy and even our teens enjoyed themselves. The only downer for us is the neighbors large dog roamed free and we had to keep our eyes on our small dog! Other than that, perfect getaway!!

My husband and I wanted to get away for a quite weekend birthday trip. Very nice and secluded on the lake. I can't imagine staying anywhere else.
