Family summer vacation 2024
We had a great stay and the house had everything we needed. There were 8 of us and we fit comfortably. We rented a boat from Holiday Landing and enjoyed 1 day on the lake, fishing and boating. The kids enjoyed taking golf cart rides down the road and down to the lake. Access to a golf cart was a nice perk. Thank you for sharing your place! The Duniphan Family

Memorial Weekend Getaway
We took a family trip Memorial weekend to do the Jack Daniels distillery tour and spend time with family. This property was perfect for our family of 5 and Shannon was very responsive when we had questions. My daughter and her boyfriend enjoyed using the kayak on the lake and we all enjoyed a meal at the restaurant nearby at the marina. We would love to return to this lovely rental in the future!

Property and neighborhood was great and as advertised. Communication was first rate and the golf cart and the paved path to the lake and marina added a great flare. You are within 20 minutes to everything you would want to do as a tourist. Great- wifi, flat screen tvs.

Lake cottage
My brother and I stayed at this adorable lake cottage. Everything in ad was as described. The Holiday Landing Marina was not what we expected, restaurant was closed for the season. We ended up renting a pontoon boat with our TN friends at Tims Ford Marina (slightly bigger and open) and was a short drive from cottage. We did not see any walking trails from the back yard (as it appeared on map). Other than that we had such a great time and very comfortable staying at this lake cottage.

Lake life living
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly as advertised and served as a wonderful place for us to hangout and spend quality time together after a day on the lake. Well appointed, great location and easy access to the marina via the complimentary golf cart and driving path. Check-in and check-out was a breeze and communication was excellent. We highly recommend this property and are all ready looking forward to our next visit.

Excellent Place for Family Trip
We stayed for Thanksgiving week at the Porter property and were quite pleased with the space and the quality of the interior. I looked at several properties from this area and was quite glad I chose the one because it is a new development and they are still building down the street. There was construction going on that would have been quite loud in other locations but we were not bothered at this particular property. It was cold and we were not able to use the water area but there were plenty of things in the golf shed that would have been fun to use in warmer weather. The golf cart does make the steep trip to the Marina easy. The interior was decorated very nicely and my kids loved the outdoor screened area with a fireplace and TV. Even though it was 40 and below, they were very warm by the fire. There were plenty of linens, nice fast washer and dryer and a dollar store about 6 miles away that stocks quite a bit. Two grocery stores--Krogers and Publix are about 20 minutes away. We loved the local Celtic Coffeehouse and the Water Chocolate. Other favorites were Freddies for wings and Piggies for barbeque. Tom's Ford State park was nice for hiking and free. We also went to the Old Stone State Park for a ranger hike (they offer all kinds of programs there). We also visited The Caverns (about 1 hour away) for a tour. This is a very nice location in the are and easy to drive to see a variety of things.

Great weekend getaway!!
This house was perfect for us! Everything is brand new and the screened in porch is awesome! Got a lot of use out of the ping pong table on down times :)) The golf cart was a hit with our kiddos. We went off season but would definitely go back in the summer since it’s right by the marina!! And there is a shortcut to get there with the cart!! Some houses are still in construction (oct 2021) but it was not an issue at all. Neighborhood felt safe and family friendly. Rental process and check in/out were very easy and smooth! We would rent it again for sure!!

This home is a slice of perfection!
House is perfect! It had absolutely everything that we needed. Spotless, great use of space, family games, box fans for each bedroom, towels for the lake, and the ping pong table was a win for our teens. The neighborhood was safe, and families walked up and down the quiet street in the evenings. We will be staying here again!

We had a 3 day lake trip for my daughters 15th birthday with her 4 besties. They had the entire upstairs and we had the master. It was a great arrangement. The screened in porch is lovely. The golf cart is a huge plus. Shannon the property manager was so easy with which to work.
