Reviews
The home itself is top-notch. Spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped-a fully stocked kitchen, great indoor/outdoor amenities, and a pet-and child-friendly astroturf backyard. The location is convenient to Blue Ridge, and the gated community offers beautiful views of the lake and mountains.My primary issue was with how lake access was represented. At the time of booking, the listing stated the property had "lake access" and described outdoor adventure as being "just outside your door." The presence of a locked storage shed containing boating equipment further suggested direct access to the lake.When I contacted the management company, they repeatedly confirmed that the property had access to Lake Blue Ridge, and later acknowledged the home had a dock that was under renovation. However, they could not provide any directions, path, map, or specific access point to the lake. Eventually, they stated that lake activities might require a short walk or even a drive from the property.This was frustrating because the home was described as lake-accessible, yet no one could explain how that access actually worked. If lake access is unavailable due to the dock renovation, or if reaching the lake requires leaving the property and driving, that should be clearly disclosed in the listing. The home is an excellent mountain retreat with beautiful lake views, but the language used to describe lake access was paltering and dishonest. House itself- 10/10Managment- 0/10
