The Lake View house was great. The view from the porch is beautiful! The location is great too, not to far from town but too close. The deer in the yard were cool when we arrived. I would recommend renting this place if you want to see the mountains, hike, go to waterfalls or just relax.
I stayed here for 5 days/4 nights with my adult sons and it was absolutely wonderful! Bruce and Catherine couldn't have been better hosts. They were available when needed, even helped guide us in when we arrived later than expected in the dark, but also gave us ample privacy to enjoy our time there. They accommodated a last minute reservation change and left the most lovely welcome gifts, even fresh baked blueberry muffins one day, yum! The cottage is beautifully appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay and extra touches that make it memorable. The property has a pretty steep incline but it's manageable without 4 wheel drive and you get used to it after a day or so. The walk down to the lake is beautiful and peaceful. We absolutely loved our time at Lake Hill Cottage and will be back! Thank you Bruce and Catherine for your hospitality and sharing your lovely home with us.
My son and I stayed three nights/four days and enjoyed every minute here. Comfortable beds, couches, deck chairs, porch and fire pit chairs. There wasn’t a space we didn’t enjoy. Good WiFi, plenty of channels and big TV to catch football games , kitchen has what you need to make meals. Used the charcoal grill twice, fire pit once and everything was provided to do it. Bruce and Catherine we lovely hosts and I would return again in a heartbeat.
My wife and I needed a place to stay (with Bubba our cat) while our floors were refinished. We spent 6 days in the cozy, quiet apartment below Catherine and Bruce's A-Frame home. We found the location easily, parking was near the door. It offered a nice view of the lake across the street. The apartment was clean, spacious and nicely set up. Before long we were settled in. We had brought a box of DVDs to watch, anticipating rainy weather, but their subscription allowed us to binge on Netflix while Bubba kept the sofa warm. The well equipped compact kitchen came in handy, and Catherine recommended several good restaurants in nearby Blairsville. (Rib Country was a favorite; the ribs and smoked turkey were super.) Blairsville's a pretty town and there are wineries nearby, though we didn't visit them. December weather meant little chance to do much outdoors, but our stay gave us the break we needed while the refinishing was completed. We chose well, and would recommend this comfortable and affordable property
The Macafees were the perfect combination of available to help and respectful of our privacy. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, to include replacing a slightly damp fire pit with a dry one and providing us with some extra wood so we would have less smoke sitting by the fire. The house was well appointed and cozy with treats and comforts hidden throughout. It felt like coming home after spending the day trekking about to see the area’s many interesting hiking spots, lakes, and vineyards. The view is wonderful and our pup was happy to have a nice yard to run around in while we sat for hours drinking coffee by the fire. We will be back!
VRBO is the only way to go for me. Always a good experience and this was no different. Good people that: 1. Want to accommodate their guest. 2. Make a lil money doing it. Perfect plan in my opinion and it always works to my advantage. Again no different here. So I had a great stay and it was just as I had budgeted. No surprises. The host was very hospitable. Had everything we needed and a few nice surprises we did not expect. We will absolutely use them again when we are in that neck of the woods. For us it was the perfect location and very easy to get to several hiking trails and Dams. Also it’s very near Crane Creek Vineyards. A place I highly recommend going to. Especially if there’s live music. The wine is excellent and the atmosphere is so laid back. Thanks for a great time guys. See ya soon.
My boyfriend and I really enjoyed are long weekend away. The property was clean and very cozy. Catherine and Bruce made us feel right at home.
Catherine was amazing to work with, my stY was supposed to be in March and due to Covid , we mutually decided to delay my trip Catherine was very flexible with times and offered refunds immediately. I chose to postpone and was delighted when I got in the house! The setting is lovely, the Lake was beautiful, and outfitted with Kayaks! Thank you Catherine for a lovely experience!
My husband and I and another couple booked the cabin from 2/14-2/17. The renting process was seamless and Catherine was very nice. I have to admit I was skeptical when we pulled up because the outside of the house is pretty dated and needs work and the landscaping hasn’t been touched so I felt like I was arriving to a house in a sketchy neighborhood but the inside of the home was comfortable and decorated nicely. I looked forward to coffee on the porch in the morning sitting and watching the view of the lake when lo’ and behold, there was a dilapidated storage area on the right side of the house that completely ruined it for me. I’m assuming it belongs to the owners; it was pretty gross to look at all weekend. There were supplies scattered everyone all of which was supposedly covered under a thick tarp shelter of sorts. Even a dirty deflated raft in plain view. I was quite surprised at how bad this area was kept and so close to the house. You can’t see it in the pictures but it’s there and ruins the view from the porch. If you have a storage area, why are these things sprawled out in front? I’m from the city so we were going for a nice quiet weekend and to mainly enjoy the view . We’ve stayed in Blue Ridge before and thought maybe the lake would be a nice change from the mountains. Sadly it was not. Catherine, please clean this area and give some love to the outside of your home. Or if the storage space does not belong to you, complain to whomever is responsible for it.
We had the best time at the lake house with our family. The boys went out on the dock and my husband and I were able to relax on the deck and have a glass of wine. We will be returning in the future.
