The General Store is a great place to enjoy the cool pines. If you are a hiker the location is excellent for getting out and enjoying the trails. It is 1.5 miles to Goldwater Lake and there are plenty of options for hikes from the front door. The yard is perfect for the dogs and the back porch is a great place to relax. The house is comfortable and has plenty of room to enjoy it with family and friends. The only downsides are that it is on a corner that can be busy at times. And I do wish the bedroom windows would open so you can enjoy the cool evening breeze.I look forward to returning again.

General Store

Sam was a great host and we enjoyed this beautiful cozy place in the woods, very quiet with gentle breezes coming through the pine trees. The cabin was spacious and clean with a well-equipped kitchen and small coffee nook. Loved having coffee and meals on the back porch where we could watch the deer roaming the neighborhood. Great hiking trails and a short drive to Goldwater Lake. We will definitely come back soon.

Weekend getaway

Surprisingly fantastic location hidden near Groom’s Creek. Very close proximity to Goldwater Lake. Deer will walk right next to you. Description of property just as described. I wish the backyard landscaping was cleaned up a little more for the kiddos to play. Other than that, a hidden gem that we will be back to again!

Like Living in Cracker Barrel

Very quaint, rustic cabin way up in the mountains, in the forest, with visits from javalinas and deer on a weekly basis. It had a nice big back yard for our dog, and it is very pet friendly. Big old two-seater swing on the back porch, like Cracker Barrel. The house is decorated with lots of kitsch (like a can of "Possum Soup" in the kitchen, haha) and it is very homey. But we had some problems getting it to be warm enough until we found the oil heaters in the closet .. there is no furnace. And it was December. The drive up and down the mountain is beautiful but it takes 12-15 minutes to get to the nearest store. Also our cell phone service was spotty, I had to drive about 2 miles to Goldwater Lake to make phone calls or text. The neighbors are super friendly though and very helpful. When the javalinas got into our garbage, the neighbors cleaned it up (they said they regularly do this for new renters) and loaned us one of their garbage cans to use. Another neighbor helped us when we got our car stuck on a tree stump (watch where you're going!), he had a big old jack and lots of tools. While walking my dog, people frequently chatted me up. Nice, friendly, peaceful neighborhood. The owner was always ready to answer any questions and help out, when I could reach him by phone, that is, like I said, the phone service wasn't too good, but the internet worked fine. This is a fun and quirky place to stay, but if you have a dog, be careful of the javalinas.
