The property was beautiful! There were several disappointing things. First, the water pump kept shutting off and we kept having to go to the basement to turn it back on and finally it quit working. It being Thanksgiving, we finally got a plumber to fix a problem that had unbeknownst to us already existed. Second, the living room sofas and chairs we uncomfortable and rump sprung, need to be replaced. And thirdly, a thorough scrubbing was needed in the kitchen, some of the silverware and china were put up dirty. All of these things are easily remedied and we would definitely stay there again.
Multiple areas for gathering and engaging. Easy and beautiful walks in the neighborhood for all ages. Excellent communication with the property manager. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
This home is a delightful place to idle away time and enjoy the quiet beauty of Lake Glenville. A fully stocked kitchen was appreciated as well as an abundance of games to entertain all ages. The broker was very helpful about any propblems and thankfully they were minimal and easily rectified. The internet fluctuates a lot, but we weren't in need of it. And loved not being sble to stream movies or shows to help keep all of us off devices! Fyi, recycling is available at the house. Check Jackson County site for what they accept. There are clear garbage bags on garage required for the recycling. The walk to the lake is doable but some people might not be up to it. A couple of friends preferred being driven, which is not for the feint of heart. Drive slow, low gear, all wheel drive and its not a problem. We will be back!
This is a wonderful spacious home a fantastic view of Lake Glenville. We had a fantastic and relaxing time. Look forward to going back soon!
This house is wonderful and the location couldn't be any better. Spent many days enjoying the lake and surrounding towns. House is well maintained and perfect for multiple families. We will definitely be back.
Our family comes to NC every year for a retreat. We come from Texas and Florida and look forward to the mountains and cool temperatures. This luxury home met all our needs. The teens took over the downstairs and enjoyed all the amenities. They were in the sauna immediately. They enjoyed the dock and kayaks. We rented a boat on Lake Glenville and spent a day boating and tubing. We cooked all our meals in the spacious kitchen and ate on the huge porch looking out over the lake . Coffee in the morning on the deck watching the fog rise is so peaceful. Must mention that the temperature in Texas and Florida was 100 degrees, so we thoroughly enjoyed the 60 degree mornings. Your home is spacious and beautiful. Met all our expectations.
We’ve stayed at this property before and continues to be a great place to enjoy the lake. Big fireplace in great room, many bedrooms spread out in the house for privacy,. Steep walk to dock, as noted & known to us. Used steam sauna often, as weather was cooler. Lots of small touches great: propane heaters on porch, gas fire pit on deck, whole house water filter. Would return again.
This was a great place to stay, and there was a lot to do on our one rainy day and any other day. Great amenities throughout. One of the air conditioners was out in a portion of the house, but the cool mountain air and rest of the house made it less noticeable. The stay was busy and relaxing at the same time.
Adult family members gathered from 5 states to celebrate birthday in this big beautiful house. Everything was as described. We especially loved the view from deck, grill and perfect deck dining table. The road to dock was a bit daunting, but younger folks went down and used kayaks. Only 4 of us were there entire time. Others came and went on different schedules. We rented boats at marina several times, and that was fun. We never turned on any tv, but there were several there. We did use firepit one night. This is a very comfortable and beautiful house, in an area with plenty to do.
We spent the a week at this amazing property for the Thanksgiving holiday. The house was perfect for our needs. The highlight of the house is the great room that has a huge fireplace and a soaring vaulted ceiling. It felt like we were in a lodge. The views from the great room of the lake and mountains are amazing, and it was great that we could enjoy those views without having to go out to the deck. (Having said that, the views from the decks on the mail and lower levels are amazing too). I loved that the great room had sconce lighting (like you see in theaters) so that you can light the room without harsh overhead lights. It set the perfect mood -- in addition to the fireplace. I also loved that the fireplace has a gas starter system which makes starting a fire so easy. There was plenty of wood stocked in the garage for our week stay. We had four kids (11, 14 and two 16 year-olds) with us and they occupied the lower level of the house. The entire lower level was a separate apartment for the kids, with two bedrooms, a huge game room, and a living room -- with ample beds and bathrooms for them. The kids made use of the games, including the foosball and ping pong tables. There was a huge TV in living room of the lower level that the kids hooked their game system to. But there was video services provided as well. Another great thing about the lower level is that it is not a basement. Therefore, it did not have a musty, damp feeling that other houses have on their bottom levels. The lower level of the house was just like any other part of the house. The beds in the house were VERY comfortable, as were the pillows and linens. The kitchen is huge and has everything you need to cook any meal. We did a lot of cooking there and made use of the bbq grill, oven, stove etc. Because it was chilly outside, we didn't make use of the deck or the boating. We would like to come back another time during the summer to take advantage of those great amenities. The only drawback, which is disclosed in the listing, is the water. We were only able to have one person at a time take a shower. It wasn't a problem for us because we planned around it, taking showers in the evening at different times. But I can see it being an issue for some people if it is necessary for multiple people trying to get ready all at one time in the morning. But that one issue would not dissuade me from renting this fabulous property again.
