Our annual family summer vacation was indeed paradise at this lovely home and setting. Being that we live near the beach in Wilmington, NC our family likes to go to the mountains & lake settings for vacations. Our first time at Lake Nottely was a golden find with the design and generous amenities that the owners have made for this rental. Everything was top-notch from the house's cleanliness, outdoor lake toys, the comfortable beds & furniture, appliances, the wonderful downstairs with new renovations and added queen suite to the shadowed settings in summer's heat for outdoor seating. Fire pit for sunset & smores enjoyment.
The spacious kitchen, filled with every pot & pan, great appliances, and supplies for cooking. The 6 grandchildren teamed up to cook gourmet meals nightly. We loved sitting at the huge dining table together, fitting more than even our family size.
For outdoor fun we used the kayaks, paddleboards, and life jackets at house. We rented pontoon boat from Lake Nottely Marina, so we could explore lake . Kids loved jumping from swings & cliffs as shown on map that's provided by homeowners. We enjoyed a day of golf in Blairsville at Old Union and horseback riding at Appalachian trail near Blue Ridge. Shopping & dining at lovely Blue Ridge is a must! The 2 hr. scenic train ride leaves from Blue Ridge as well.
As you can tell, we couldn't have been any more pleased with our stay at The Daring Horseman. We have always used VRBO for our annual family vacations, but must say that booking this rental 4 months ago was a gem. You'll find that owner, Sandi is wonderful in responding to any questions, even to our losing our way to Cozy Cove on the 1st day. A real paradise in the woods!
