My family had a wonderful stay at Honeysuckle Haven. The location can't be beat. Right on the lake, but just minutes to town. The house is a bit overly furnished, but as soon as you walk in the front door, all you see is the view! It is spectacular. Lake, mountains, sunrise, sunset. Provides for peaceful relaxation as well as waterfront fun. We rented a boat and docked it at the dock, and we used the complimentary paddle boat and kayak, which were fun. The property faces the Honeysuckle beach and boat launch area, so you can hear beachgoers, as well as the motor craft on the lake during the day.
The master bedroom is downstairs, accessible only via a narrow spiral staircase. Couldn't get our 29" suitcases down it. The lake and hot tub are accessible from the lower level of the property, which is only accessible via the spiral staircase or walking down the hill from the outside. We managed it fine, but it could be difficult for some. The 2 bedrooms upstairs are small with quite a lot of furniture in them so they're good for sleeping but not much room to hang out in them. All of the beds were pretty comfortable. There are 2 living rooms - one on main level and one downstairs, which was useful for kids having their own space to hang out. There is one TV in the main level living room, one in the downstairs living room and one in the master bedroom. There is no garage, and parking in front of the house is a bit limited, but additional cars were allowed to park across the street at the other property managed by the rental company.
While it's a bit dated, the home is cozy and has a positive, warm energy. The rental company was responsive and easy to work with. Check-in was straightforward. Though the kitchenware/utensils could use some updating. the property is clean and well-maintained. And the view!!!
We will definitely come back!
