The house is great overall. Very clean, beds were comfortable,kitchen was stocked with all you need and more. We have been renting for years and this was a top pick. Like I mentioned above, garbage should not be a concern for the guest. The sewage smell outback should be addressed, there is a problem there. The dock could use a good cleaning. It clearly was not done all summer. Lack of communication is an issue. Majority of my emails went unanswered. The team member that came to bring us garbage pails was a very pleasant gentleman.
Each time our group of 18 takes a family vacation, we say it is the best one. So….THIS WAS THE BEST ONE! It was easy to relax, have fun together, and make great memories! Still Waters Refuge was the perfect place, and I am glad I chose it for our fifth family vacation spot! All team members that we needed to communicate with were extremely courteous and helpful.
All went well. Everyone in our group was satisfied.
We had an amazing week at Still Water Refuge! The house was so clean, beautiful and well equipped. Everything we needed for cooking, relaxing and enjoying the lake was available to us. Les was very responsive and helped us with any questions we had throughout the week. We encountered a mayfly swarm on our first full day, Sunday. They were literally covering the dock. Apparently this happens at random. Although it was Sunday, Les took care of the problem right away. He sent Ryan, from Lake Gaston Vacation Rentals, to take care of the swarm. Ryan worked for several hours to take care of this. He was amazing. Outstanding customer service from Les, Ryan and the team.
The house is perfect. Plenty of seating for everyone to be comfortable, and more than enough dinner and cookware for our party of 18. The boathouse was our favorite place to be. Everything was clean and organized. We took advantage of the kayaks.
Still Water Refuge is a great house! We loved the location, as it wasn’t in such a busy area. The house is beautiful and had anything we could have possibly needed to make our stay comfortable! There was plenty of room for our large family to gather, but also have separate space. The sunset views are simply gorgeous! Les was so great at answering all of our questions and assisting us in any way he could. Ryan was a life saver. He came on a Sunday to get rid of a mayfly swarm on the dock. He stayed for several hours to get it all taken care of. He was so kind and helpful!
Great time great house in a great spot on the lake!
