Reviews

• Trip to Hiawasse

  5/5

  We stayed here for a wedding in the area with our 3 children. The place was situated in a beautiful location on the river and was perfect in every way. It was stocked with everything we needed and had great coffees snacks and water. Place was beautifully decorated he a great sound system and the host gave recommendations in the area. We wish we had more time to enjoy all the amenities.

• Wonderful House & Sweet Host

  5/5

  This house was a great. The owner have put a lot of time and money into the upgrades of this house and it shows. So many things are provided for you and great quality items are available for you to use. The beds and bedding are so comfortable. I am sure I will miss some things but this is some items from the top of my head that was provided for us - Coffee / Cocoa / Hot tea bar. She has an espresso machine!!! Keurig and a regular coffee pot. Smore's making kit - Dish Detergent, Laundry Detergent, Spices, Pam, In the refrigerator is Mayo, Must, Ketchup, Sauces AND MORE! She has two cabinets where she has spices, Pam, and food for you to use - if you want. I didn't go thru all of that since I bought my own stuff. She had umbrells on the porch, shower shoes. This is not a normal set up when you rent a place. They might give you one towel per person and one garbage bag. Also when you rent a place and need to ask the host a question - you know sometimes you wait hours or days to get a response ??? No with her - she responds within minutes. I can not say enough nice things about the host and location.

  Right on the water - great outdoor area - two porches (front and back). Fire pit area - hot tub and kayak's. Hammock on the back porch - tree swing.

• Perfection!

  5/5

  We couldn’t have picked a better place to spend the weekend! The owners were so accommodating, we were able to check in early too! The house has everything to make you feel at home. Fully stocked kitchen and that coffee bar! WOW. We all wanted to redecorate our kitchens when we got home. It was so nice to have the space to cook a big meal. The beds were wonderful and luxurious. The owners went above and beyond with the quality of everything, the towels, linens, toiletries all top of the line. Plenty of extra blankets for chilly mornings. We enjoyed coffee on the porch and evenings by the fire pit. We explored the nearby towns during the day and found a great little restaurant/bar (The Sandbar) in town for a little nightlife with a great view of Lake Chatuge. Can’t wait to visit again this summer and take advantage of the waterfront, we noticed the owners supply kayaks and tubes. This place does not disappoint.

• Great escape

  5/5

  This place is perfect from top to bottom! You can tell the owners definitely took their time with remodeling and updating this place. There was no money spared, even in the details of decor and glassware. I’m so used to going to rentals where you have to provide absolutely everything including extra toilet paper on your own but not this place! They had everything from coffee syrups, extra sandals in case you needed them beach towels for the river and hot tubs, kayaks, and river tubes. The list could go on and on. The only suggestion I would give would be extra kitchen hand towels, outside of that everything that you need and more. My kids and I enjoy the hot tub getting in the river, all the games they had to offer, the fire pit was so nice! We even went into town went hiking one day, found a cute little local restaurant/brewery to eat at And went to Helen another day. We will definitely be back probably with others and rent The loft. The owners were extremely responsive and very kind you will not be disappointed!!

  From Owner: "Wow! Thank you so very much! We are so glad you and your family enjoyed our home! We have worked very hard to provide as much as possible! Please do come back again!"

• Thanksgiving 2022 in the mountains

  5/5

  We thoroughly enjoyed our time away in the mountains. The property was beautiful and located right on the water. The only suggestion to the owners would be to warn the renters that cleaning crew will be there. I was surprised to find 2 men with access to the same porch of the home that we were staying in - they were there to clean up the apartment that is also owned and rented by the same people. Just a heads up for any women or elderly people that may be traveling alone. It was definitely a remote location and scary to not have been informed by the owners. I personally think they should keep their cleaning supplies separate so as to not worry guests. Otherwise we loved everything about our vacation, the decor, the river, and the quaint little town.

  Hi Jessica, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following:
  We are glad you had an amazing stay overall and apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. We want all of our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we're so sorry to hear that you were concerned for your safety. Providing a safe and comfortable environment for all of our guests is at the forefront of our mission. My regular cleaning crew was on vacation for Thanksgiving and we used a different team; however, I only use fully insured and bonded professional cleaners. This team just happened to have men on it. Insinuating that we had dangerous people in the house was not an accurate account of what happened, as they were just a professional cleaning crew. We would never do anything to put our guests in harm's way, as I fully vet each contract worker associated with our home, including cleaning, lawn care and the hot tub cleaning service. We do all we can to make our homes the best possible stays, and we look forward to hosting many more satisfied guests. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to see you back again!
