Amazing Getaway!

My close friends, family, and I were in town for a bachelor party and we loved the property! The home had everything we needed to make it feel like home and we were impressed with all it had to offer. The house was clean and well taken care of and we'd love to visit again in the future.

Summer break with family

The home was very nice and well maintained. Our family enjoyed the setting with the lake view and many other features. We spent our nights in the movie room and lower level playing pool, cornhole, or cards. Great place for families with plenty of entertainment in the house and surrounding area.

Great stay!

The property was truly perfect with fantastic lounge spaces and close proximity to activities. We had a large group so the number of beds was great, and having so many community areas was a treat. Hosts were responsive with questions and the place had all the basic amenities you'd need. Can't wait to come back!

Remarkable Time in a Special Place

We enjoyed staying at this property with my 93 year old mom. Very clean and for our purposes, perfect amenities. We enjoyed the home theatre room on two nights during our stay. Kitchen is very well appointed, and views were impressive. Loved it...love Steve and Sue Gage...and will hope to come again!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful week at Buffalo Shoals Lookout. The house was beautiful and very clean. The kitchen was well appointed with everything in great condition. Check in and check out we’re seamless. It was also nice to have the property managers close by in case of a problem (there weren’t any problems). Highly recommend this property!

The weather wasn't the greatest while we were there, but the house made up for it. Our age range was 4-58 and everyone LOVED the house - especially the game room and movie theater! It was so much better than we even expected - and we have very high expectations! Well done!!

A Taste of Fall

The property never disappointed- from the views from every window, the great kitchen, movie night, rocking in a deck chair to enjoying an evening campfire around the fire ring. The house surpassed the photos and descriptions posted. A perfect spot to return to! The management was well organized and made the whole process very easy on us. Bekki Reid

A beautiful, comfortable house with quiet surrounding.

My whole family, that made up of nine adults, ranging in ages 23 to 81, were all very happy with the accommodations. Everyone had a bed, plenty of things to do and enough space to spread out or gather to enjoy their stay. The management company were very helpful and quit to respond to any of our needs. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone who asked my opinion.
