Our annual work trip and this house was perfect! Each family had their own space and bathroom. Plenty of activities onsite and seating for everyone. This was our second time to the property and Dave has added to the property and making more improvements.

My wife and I stayed and as always Dave Norris was excellent!!! The property was awesome, and everything was as advertised. We cannot wait for all the new amenities; we will be booking this property again. We have stayed with Dave before at the Bellissimo Castle in Gainesville at his other VRBO property and Dave was the BEST!!!! Lake Chatuge was everything it was on the site. Despite other reviews. We Connot believe the poor review that was posted. We booked the house not the new venue. The pool was beautiful and the venue grounds with new amenities were awesome. Dave was the utmost professional!!!!

Owner was nice ,but place was a construction zone outside many of the amenities listed were not there or were unavailable for use . Owner had an issue with the pool and was there daily working on it , also the house was outdated and needed much work on the inside with plumbing issues and mold in the bathroom ceiling. The property was not ready for rental use

Anniversary Stay was meh....
I booked this location to celebrate my wedding anniversary with family and friends. One of the main reasons we were attracted to this property was for the outdoor activities. Dave warned that there was some construction going on, but it would not interfere with our stay. The grounds were unsightly and the putt-putt green was gone. There was a golf cart parked in front of the front door which paused a safety concern for me. The house was clean. Plenty of kitchenware. There was even some seasoning to use. There were two sets of washers and dryers. The home was stocked with coffee and tea. One large kitchen would have served us better than having 2, but the home is set up for multiple families. It's like a duplex that was combined. It was clean, but it could really use some updating. For the price, it was not luxury. There was like a mold stain on the shower curtain liner in the king room downstairs. The carpet could use replacing. The grounds were not well kept. The outdoor kitchen area was not appealing to use, the furniture was icky. There is a board loose by the patio door where the exercise equipment is that should be considered a safety hazard. The pictures do not show the tractor company's parking lot right on the other side of the lake. This home is really a 7 bedroom with 2 loft areas with beds which would be suitable for kids. I had to refund some of my guests because the lofts were not private. This was a private location, but needs updates.

Perfect property for our fall retreat.
The house and grounds were the perfect fit for our annual family and friends fall retreat. There was ample space for everyone and tons to do that fit the diversity of ages. The house was clean and the owner was very accommodating for anything we need pr wanted to do. The tweens in our group had a blast and never got bored, while the adults had various spaces to mingle and relax.

All of my siblings and their families got together for a long weekend at the lake. The house had everything we needed for kids and family fun, and the way the house is set up, it made it perfect so that each family had their own little area of bedrooms. Really great fun.

Excellent retreat
The property exceeded all expectations. We had rooms for everyone and the gathering places around the home were perfect for a large group. The game room was so much fun for team building. We were able to use the firepit outside and the grill. Such a great time. The owner was awesome with the communications.

Good weekend getaway
We had a good time at this property. We were a family of 5 with kids and the property has enough room for party as large as us. The views and lake as shown in pictures don't look the same so that was a little disappointing. The house could use a change of carpet as it seemed rugged and dirty. A stand alone heater on the porch in winter heater would be a great add. Other than that we had a good time.

A Big Family must
We had the pleasure of staying at this amazing Lakehouse right before Thanksgiving, and the house was perfect! Plenty of activities for a large family, from hiking to putt-putt, and a great golden tee setup. The house was very clean and had everything needed. We have already recommended it to a few close friends and looking forward to the next visit. Priscilla, thank you for all your help before and during the stay.

Family Reunion
We rented this house and a couple smaller ones nearby for our family reunion. The house is very clean. We had young families and babies and everyone was satisfied with the cleanliness. There are a couple rooms adjoining the loft rooms that are only accessed by passing through the bathroom that separates the two rooms. It’s a bit unusual but it worked out ok. We rented both the pontoon boats since we were a large group. We had a blast going to the rope swing, hanging out at small islands, wake boarding and fishing. I had many people tell me they would be happy coming here for all our reunions. We also used the paddle boards and the kayaks. It was very helpful that there was a motorized cart to help transport coolers and elderly people from the house to the dock. The property manager Priscilla is excellent and she goes above and beyond. Thank you for helping make this such a memorable vacation. The only reason I knocked off a star was due certain things needing a little TLC. When you rent the pontoon boat they should have supplied a checklist of damages that the owner is already aware of. We discovered these things after I signed the waiver but I informed the property Mgr promptly and it was not a problem. Check the props for damage in advance. And the panels covering the lower unit of the motors are loosening and missing bolts. The Bimini top had a broken rod that was taped together which didn’t hold. We came up with a temporary fix. None of this interfered with our ability to use the boats. The lower pavilion really needs to be cleaned up. There’s some old boxes of maintenance supplies laying around, boxes of worn out pool toys and cob webs and the cushions for the seats don’t look clean. In the end we stayed up on the decks adjoining the house since it’s hard to bring the babies and all our food up and down those steps anyway. We loved the dock and how it lights up at night but they had a floating island that was gross it’s all filled with algae, quite an eye sore. The kayaks could use a little attention. There were only 2 that had seats that were not broken or missing. You can make it work without the seat insert if you’re not going too far. All and all we would come back and I highly recommend this house for your lake vacation.
