We visited the property on Labor Day weekend hoping to enjoy a weekend of water-based activities from the dock. We were very surprised to find the water around the dock was completely dried up. We had brought water toys and fishing gear and before arrival had inquired with rental company about renting a boat to dock in the slip. Thank goodness there were no boats available for rental that weekend because we would have had nowhere to put a boat. Fortunately on our last day some kind neighbors saw our kids wading around in mud on the side of the dock and offered to let us swim off their dock, which we did. Being a careful trip planner, I was surprised that I had missed that this property was on such a shallow part of the lake when I booked. I went back and read the reviews and description of the property. The only mention of the fact that this property is on a dried up cove was near the bottom listing of amenities where it said "dock (available May to August)." This could mean many things, not necessarily that there is no water in this part of the lake the rest of the year. After our trip I wrote an email to the management company about our experience and received no response. I do see that now they have added mention of the slip being available only May to August in the main description, and another reviewer who stayed there after us mentioned the dried up property. A full, transparent explanation from the property owner that this home is on a cove that only has water in it from May to August is needed. I typically do not write reviews but wanted to spare others from disappointment based on an inaccurate description. The home itself was lovely and would be great when this part of the lake has water in it. I'm still not clear when that would be, as we do not live in the area. Neighboring properties appeared to be on deep water, as we saw them using their boats and swimming. Please see our photos of the dock from our trip.

First time visiting Blue Ridge Lake, it was absolutely gorgeous! We stayed the week after Labor Day and had the entire lake to ourselves. This cabin was the perfect size for our family of four, great location and view of the sunset each night. Pay attention to the time of year you book if you plan to bring a boat and use the dock because the dock was beached the first week of September. Be sure to ask about the water level because this cove is dry certain times of the year (after August 31). We want to stay at this same spot during the Summer, everything else was absolutely perfect.

There's no need to leave this perfect lakeside cabin...start with coffee on one of two covered porches, swim right off the boat dock, walk to the beach and rent kayaks or paddle boards, then watch the sun set at the end of your day.

The property offered lots of seating outside to enjoy the view. The kids were able to swim right by dock and had a lot of fun. We were able to bring out boat and dock it right outside the cabin. Each level had its own bathroom and allowed each family their own space.

The floor plan is one bedroom on each level. So it’s very easy to get some privacy while staying with a group. The public beach is right around the corner and was great for swimming ($5 cash to park). The marina is also very close. We really enjoyed our stay.

The house was spotless and the kitchen was very well-stocked. We enjoyed swimming from the dock and relaxing on both porches. Loved the gas fire pit - it was so easy to use. We wished we had rented kayaks/canoes/paddle boards to bring with us. The marina was booked up for rentals when we were there. We would love to come back to stay.

First day open after corona and house was in perfect condition. Completely cleaned. Didn’t even find one bug. Very comfortable and didn’t have to call about anything !

This cabin had everything we needed. We stayed for a week and cooked all our meals there. Awesome views and super clean and well stocked. Thank you for our goodie bag we totally enjoyed it. Definitely coming back to this one
