The property was wonderful and very relaxing. The host has everything you could ever need and more. My family and I really had a great time. Would completely recommend this VRBO to anyone.
A beautiful home. Very comfortable and had everything we needed and then some. Plenty of seating, ample kitchen supplies and fun lake toys. All 12 adults and four kids loved it.
We had a great family vacation! Eight adults and two children, one under two, and we had plenty of space for all! Great sleeping accommodations and lots of space to spread out. The lake, dock, and the use of paddle boards, and a kayak was a plus. We never left the house, except to go down to the lake, so we cooked each night and truly had a wonderful time. Accommodations and host were A-one!
We had such a wonderful time this weekend at the Hidden Gem Lakeside Retreat!! We have family members who traveled from Texas to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation from Tennessee Wesleyan and this house was the perfect place for the occasion!! The house has everything you need to prepare and serve meals for a large group with plenty of room for everyone to comfortably gather. We loved driving the golf cart along the trail from the house to the dock! Such a sweet gravel trail with a small bridge We rented a boat, caught some fish, saw lots of deer…the house has everything you need for a relaxing and fun getaway!!
If I could rate this property more than 5 stars, I would! Everyone in my family were truly amazed by all the amenities and luxury of the house. The beds were comfy, plenty of room, loved the fireplace, firepit, boat dock sunset, and more. Perfect place to celebrate our Christmas vacation- they even provided a tree for us! Highly recommend,
We just got back from eight nights at this lake house. and it is everything it says it is. We brought down two boats. They had a dock/slip that came with the rental property and we were fortunate enough to be able to rent an empty dock from the neighbor so we didn’t have to pull the one boat out every night. The lake was super nice. It was like glass and it was huge! we tubed and there’s a couple restaurants on the lake. There’s a sandbar where people gather and just drop anchor, play water games, let the kids run around. Listen to music. And enjoy the 90 degree weather! It was just perfect. exactly what we were looking for.. The house itself is laid out nicely. It was very clean. They thought of everything and they had everything you would need. There was a pool table, hot tub, and fire pit. Every bedroom plus common areas indoors and out had a TV. The beds were super comfortable. It was just a very very well thought out layout. There’s a golf cart to get you down to and from the lake. The dock where you could just sit and watch the sun set or rise Plus, they had paddle boards and kayaks included with the rental. There was just plenty of stuff to do on the lake. It was exactly what we were looking for. The host responded to the questions we had in the beginning promptly and we did not have to bother her During our stay because everything was as stated (and then some). However, do watch the inside wood stairs going down as they can be slippery.
We stayed at the hidden gem with our extended family for the weekend. Everyone. (ages 6 through 78.) all had a great time. Plenty of space and things to do!
12 friends stayed comfortably and loved every detail about this amazing property!!! Host pays amazing attention to detail and was accessible for any questions we had. Highly recommend!!
