Stunning Views of the Lake

This house was amazing! The inside was large and clean and had everything we needed. The star of the show, though, is the view. You can see the gorgeous lake, mountains, trees, and sky from inside the house and from the two seating areas. We loved it and hope to be back!

Breath taking views in a quiet Lake neighborhood!

What an amazing place to relax. The views were so beautiful, the weather was absolutely perfect. This place felt very welcoming and had everything you need. What a great cozy place to stay. We relaxed on the lower deck most of the time while the girls hung out on the dock and enjoyed the water. It was a nice hike and pathway down to the lake. The neighborhood was so quiet and peaceful. The road coming up is a country road but I must say much nicer then the road we live on. It was so nice to be able to bring our fur babies with us. It’s hard to find places so accommodating. The owner was very nice and helpful with all the instructions on the place. We would highly recommend this rental! A place we would definitely come back to again! Thank you! The Holden’s.

Best view in the Lake

Great home, all the amenities. If I might suggest two improvement that would make it all 5stars? The switchback is terrible, needs to be paved for 30+ yards in both directions; like other switchbacks we saw. Also, steps and distance to dock is certainly prohibitive for young children, young teenagers and those over 65 or with any walking inhibitions. A kayak launch pad strapped to the dock would eliminate dropping kayaks into the water, gingerly trying to get in and out, and hauling them back on the dock. Respectfully submitted Rick!

Lake Ah Licious

We had a great time beautiful views great house and enjoyed the kayaks as well. The only thing I would like to change is the description of the path down to the lake. I know I think somewhere it was mentioned a moderate hike, but I think you should list strenuous, I only went down two times

Great spot on the lake

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, as it had a wonderful view of the lake, not only from the deck, but from all the windows in the cottage. It got pretty cold while we were there, so it was nice we could still watch the changing colors of the sunrise and sunset of the lake from the comfort of the dining/living room. The cottage is located in a great neighborhood, that we safely could use to jog/run. It was also located just north of Cashiers, so we could easily get to town and beyond for dining, shopping, and hiking. The hot tub was fantastic, clean with working jets, and also a view of the lake. And we appreciated the steps down to the lake and took full advantage of the kayaks offered by the owners on their dock. We already want to come back and stay again.

Lovely home, spectacular view, helpful host

We very much enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The view is spectacular and the 17-sided home is charming, with plenty of room. The steps down to the dock are a bit challenging and an actual hand rail would help. There is construction on both sides but the noise was minimal. Nearby Cashiers has some wonderful restaurants and shops, and treks to Sylva, Asheville, and other spots are easy and fun. You’re surrounded by natural beauty. We hope to return.

Lake Glenville

Really enjoyed our stay. The views from the deck are spectacular. Very unique house with windows that face the lake. Clean upstairs with master bed and addition bedroom. Path to dock where you can swim or canoe. The path is a little tricky, but it works. Only complaint was the bad internet service, which in turn gave us very little ability to watch TV. All in all, great stay and would return.

Beautiful view

The view is truly amazing. We really enjoyed our stay. The house is fully equipped with everything you need. We found the primary bed very comfortable and we enjoyed using the hot tub. WiFi uses satellite and is very slow. The trek up from the lake is not for the faint of heart. It is a long steep climb. The house is convenient to Cashiers and Highlands. We were able to visit several local waterfalls and hiking trails.

Very enjoyable!

We enjoyed our time at Ted's Shed very much in spite of several rainy days. We only navigated the stairs to the lake once and they were a challenge (of course we are both approaching 80!) but doable. The kitchen was well equipped. The bed in the master is very high - I had to find a step ladder to get into it and my husband who is 6'3" even found it difficult. We loved the view of the lake and the peaceful atmosphere. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful cabin on Lake Glenville

This is the perfect place for a family of four to spend a few days on the lake. The access to the dock is perfect - swimming is amazing - access to Cashiers and the local marina are also easy. Obviously, the deck of the cabin is the best!

Location and view makes up for other things

Very private setting with an Incredible view! It is awesome perk to have access to the lake with your own private dock with kayaks and a canoe. Because of this, the rest of what we dealt with gets a pass. It was a lot of little things but they added up. First off, I had to re-text the owner to remind him to send me the code after having agreed to that process on the phone 15 minutes earlier. Not a great start. Overall, the house is showing it's age and you could tell there hasn't been much re-investment of money or effort to update it or maintain things along the way. The ice maker and fans in the living room don't work. Instead of repairing these things, there are notes posted to inform you these things no longer work. We also noticed the microwave wasn't working even though it was plugged in. Had to re-set the breakers in the fuse box to resolve the problem. Again, not a big deal - but it all adds up. The next morning, went downstairs to begin the "2-3 hour" process of heating up the water in the hot tub. The directions said to "push the JET button twice". First of all, there isn't a "jet" button. Instead there is a "pump" button. Second, come to find out from the owner, you only need to push this "jet/pump" button once - not twice like the instructions say. Regardless, the display on the jacuzzi initially displayed the current temp of the water (57) and then started blinking "FLO". Was instructed that this probably indicates that the filter might need changing and that there might be one in the storage room. The owner said "we're at the end of the season and I'm sure no one's ever done it". Really?! After an unsuccessful search for a replacement filter, we let the hot tub be for awhile in hopes that it would still allow the water to be heated. Several hours later, the water was still 57 degrees. After spending a lot of time on this - just gave up and shut off the hot tub and put the cover back on it. Owner refunded us $90 for our trouble with the hot tub. Nice gesture but we spent a lot of time on this and it would have probably been avoidable had there been a little effort the change the filter. Contrast this stay with our next VRBO rental up in Bryson City where the hot tub was already pre-heated and ready to go the second we walked in the door. Huge difference! Also, I have stayed at a lot of different VRBOs and this is the 1st time I've had to remove the garbage myself and take it to an offsite dump site 5 minutes away.

Outstanding lake house

The house was spotless and in great condition, the views are priceless , the dock access is for the Young and fit, but we came to see the lake not jump in, I can't find anything to complain about, the bathroom on the hot tub deck is great, you can shower and change right there, there is almost everything on site you need to cook with, spices, pots and pans
