Truly a fantastic place to spend a weekend or longer at the lake. Clean and super comfortable, and it was a joy to cook in that amazing kitchen (it could use a dish drainer and a large pasta pot). Even though it was a holiday weekend, it was a relatively quiet spot. All of the outdoor spaces had great views, and watching the sunset from the dock was a highlight. Lots of birds for birders to watch, and a large osprey tower in paddling distance - we got to see one diving for fish, which was pretty great.
Food Lion isn't far for groceries, and there are nice easy hiking trails in the State Park, which is six minutes from the property. Dogs are welcome on the patio at Drifters restaurant, and food there is decent. Wineries nearby, as well as little markets with a decent selection of wine and beer.
Take care on the bottom step coming down from the master bedroom - it blends in with the floor and can be easy to miss if you aren't paying attention. And bring tick spray.
Thanks to the homeowners for sharing this beautiful and peaceful retreat, and to the property managers who were extremely friendly and responsive.
