This property was absolutely stunning !!!!! Such a great experience during our stay in blue ridge . Jodi goes above any expectations from what you can expect from a host. Can’t wait to get back .
Great property
This was a great property with everything we needed! We enjoyed cooking, grilling, swimming, puzzles, games, and relaxing in a beautiful setting!
The house was perfect for our group of college friends getting together for a long weekend. Truly the best VRBO that I’ve ever stayed at. It was very clean and had anything and everything you could possibly need while staying. Jodi was very communicative and helpful. Plenty of room and a well kept property. Next time we’re in blue ridge, we’ll definitely check to see if any of their properties are available.
We have all enjoyed our stay at this property. Host Jodi is friendly and easy to communicate to. We might come back next year ;)
The lodge accommodated 20 guests comfortably. Multiple destinations within the house and pool area gave everyone the space needed to spread out. Beautiful house with all the amenities. We will be rebooking next year. Jodi the owner was awesome to work with.
We were 3 generations; 4 adults and 7 teenagers (1 at 16,and the rest were 18,19) The house is perfect for this size of a crowd. The kids stayed downstairs (pool level) the entire time - in the pool, shooting pool, playing shuffleboard. Downtown Blue Ridge is minutes away. Tubing, Safari, Fishing were only about 20-30 minutes away. The owners of this house couldn't be any nicer or more helpful. They have 2 plugs that will accommodate electric cars - this was very important to us as the closest commerical plug un was 29 miles away! We highly recommend this home for your vacation. You won't be disappointed!
We had a large group of couples and this home had the perfect set up. The large kitchen and open floor plan were perfect! We enjoyed having the basement with pool table and shuffle board games. Great home . Jodi and Steve were so helpful and responsive!
Four generations of our family met here for our Christmas celebration. It was the perfect place. Everyone had plenty of room for privacy in sleeping, but the common areas were roomy and cozy and easily accommodated our party of 14. The kitchen was awesome! Although we had a few neighbors nearby, it seemed like we were the only people for miles! The Christmas tree was beautiful and we filled the floor around it with so many gifts! Breakfasts and dinners were enjoyed at the dining room table and our guys watched the GA game on the 100 inch tv in the game room.We would definitely return in the future. The managers of the property were kind, helpful, and available. Communication was excellent.
We had an incredible Christmas at this cabin. Layout is perfect for a wonderful family gathering. It was so fun to be in the spacious kitchen with my daughters cooking and laughing. Jodi is absolutely amazing and we hope to come again next year!
The cabin is beautifully furnished and very well kept. It was more than enough space for our party of 10 and the basement was perfect for entertaining the kids. Jodi was an amazing host who made the process very easy. We can't wait to go back!
We stayed here for a family girls get away and had a great experience. Everything is clean, up to date and the perfect set up for multiple families, couples, etc. The cabin is well equipped with anything you need to prep and cook meals. The check in and out process was super clear and easy. We did have a problem with one of the bathroom drains and Jodi was very responsive and immediately addressed the issues. Very pleasant to interact with a accommodating to our needs. Would definitely stay here again if the opportunity comes.
Group of 6 guys had a great time in Blue Ridge. The house was very spacious and well equipped. Jodi and Steve were very communicative and helpful. Would definitely book again!
We had an awesome time at Southern Hospitality Lodge. Bedrooms were very spacious and the bunk room was perfect for the 5 kids! The game room was the place to be most of the time when we weren’t exploring Blue Ridge. Jodi & Steve were very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!
This was the perfect house for our large family of 7 adult couples plus a couple little ones.. The layout of rooms was ideal and the owner thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable. The fire pit and table top shuffle board were a big hit! This was the best supplied kitchen we have ever stayed in. The house was convenient to the lake , River tubing, hiking and town. I would highly recommend!
We had a large family group of all ages and the house accommodated us very nicely. The downstairs rec room and bunk room were perfect for the grandchildren! Jodi saw to our every need.
Our group had a wonderful time! The main master suite was incredible and the kitchen was first rate! We had many amazing times around the campfire area and there was plenty of space for everyone.
Everything was very clean and there was plenty of room and games for our 6 children. Great communication from Jodi as well.
We had a great stay at the cabin. Jodi was very communicative and the property was even better than expected. Would totally recommend to large groups, specially for a family that could take advantage of the amazing bunk bed room.
This was our second year staying at this house and it didn’t disappoint. Everything is just as described in the listing and the pictures. We will definitely book again. Thank you Jodi and Steve!
