Nice But Lacking
Because it was in November, we were looking forward to a blazing fire, but there was no gas. I paid in full 2 months early, why didn't we have gas? Too much needed to think the kitchen was proper, even though there was 2. Due to small steps, my 79 year old husband fell going downstairs and my 21 year old grandson fell from the loft. Bottom step was the problem. We had 8 people reserved, the kitchen table sits 4. Very noisy. Half of the chairs were broken. I almost fell over the first time I sat down. Even though we rented Ms. Natalie last year, this was so bad, I will never rent either again.

Family time
The property is everything we asked for and more. We had all 3 cabins rented for a family lunch. The pavilion at Big Nate plus the area in all 3 backyards was perfect. We didn’t let Hurricane Helene slow us down even though a lot of family stuck in S.C. and could not attend. Thank you Shirley!

Yearly summer vacation at Big Nate
We have booked at this property many times and have found it to be a nice place to stay and visit family for our annual reunion. We have always had property manager, get back to us at a timely manner with any questions of concern. However, we had some water damage in the lower level from heavy rains. We left a voicemail on the owners number, and a message on Vrbo to have someone get back to us regarding this problem. We did not get any response via text or phone. We were more concerned for the damage if any at their house. Our personal belongings were intact without any damage. It was disheartening to know that they did not follow up on this with us as it could’ve turned out to be an unfortunate set of circumstances. We hope this constructive comment helps future guests as this really is a nice place to stay.

Chatuge Vacation
Wonderful location! Our crew of nine plus 2 grand dogs had a great stay right on the lake. We rented a boat and docked it in our own dock. Swimming off the dock and trampoline was wonderful! If we ran out of anything we just walked over to Dollar General. Internet worked well for those who had to keep up with work. Downstairs bathroom toilet was a bit shakey but could be easily fixed. Over all, a 10 vacation!

June experience
Had a wonderful time with large family ranging from teen through senior citizens (including wheelchair). The house was spacious and provided plenty of beds, bedrooms and bathrooms to give individuals space. We spent time in the lake using the trampoline, slide and swimming off the dock. We rented kayaks and enjoyed the lake. Response was quick when using the call feature in the app. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Disappointed
The cabin has a great layout and location, but when we got there the cleaning crew was still there an hour after check in, the house was smoked out from the oven being in cleaned, they left the sheets drying in the dryer, years of cobwebs were on the windows all the windows were left open and on in the bathroom would not lock , I had to tie the door shut for everyone to feel safe. I would rather nothing than to say anything bad but for the price of this cabin these things need to be addressed

THIS BOOKING IS A FRAUD!!
I should’ve dove deeper into the reviews. We booked this property because the listing clearly states there are 6 satellite TVs, working internet, a pool table, and a swim-able lake. Upon arrival the TVs and Wi-Fi didn’t work. This was important for my husbands line of work. We reached out to the owner she said, “that’s never been the case.” However when we pressed her on the listing she said, “I don’t know what to tell you” and hung up on us. We called her back 7 times and no answer, full voicemail and no returned call. So we text her to at least find out how to set up the internet. No reply. Because we checked in on a business day, we had to leave because we could not work. Additionally we couldn’t stay because the lake was full of vegetation. You cannot swim off this dock or fish. The worst part in all of this is that VRBO is basically saying, “this is between you and owner.” But the owner will not return our calls. So the VRBO book with confidence is also a lie. Even though the property was misrepresented, they will not refund the booking. We have filed a claim with American Express. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS LISTING! Or VRBO for that matter. While you are their client, they will not protect you in a case like this. Ripping people off is a sad way to live! Choose another property and do not use VRBO.

Great Stay
We really enjoyed our stay at Big Nate's! Our family (ranging 80 to 8 years old) enjoyed the house and the property. We were even rained in one day, and there was plenty of room! We collectively decided we would like to return...but especially in the warmer months so we could take advantage of the water more!

Hide and seek for the kids was great fun!
It was the coldest days of the year and the lake was frozen, but the kids loved breaking up the ice! It was perfect for our families that gathered at Christmas. When the water pipe busted because of the cold, the managers came right away and fixed it up so we could continue to stay. It would be perfect for summertime when you could enjoy the lake and swimming!

Wanted to love it....but....not as advertised...misrepresented
Our family was very excited for this vacation, unfortunately we didn't stay 30 minutes at the property before leaving. 1) Location is on the corner of a busy intersection at the very southern most tip of the lake. That is a clue that when the water management authority reduces the level of the lake it is overgrown with plant life to the point the dock is unusable for swimming and fishing and the water is well, eewwww..... In addition, the water trampoline was not anchored in the lake as advertised. 2) Dock was missing several of the flotation devices under the walkway and ramp and the guardrails were worn and not secure. Several of the dock boards were in poor shape and generally felt unsafe for our children. 3) The exterior grounds were unkept with outdoor furniture that was in poor shape. There was trash on the property including an old washing machine and old conference room chairs under the porch. The grill was not near the house and frankly seemed on one of the adjacent properties. 4) The inside of the home was dusty, contained large spider webs in the windows in the den and had a musty smell. It was clear that the house had settled, with the significant level changes in the den. 5) Sheets in one of the bedrooms were stained and the upstairs fridge had several broken shelves. The toilet seat in one bathroom was also unhinged. 6) Owner was unresponsive when we contacted them after arriving. When they did respond they were difficult and resorted to berating. The only good thing we can say about the property is the inside of the home was orderly.

Great home on the lake!
We have a family reunion every year down in the area and always stay on the lake! This home was perfect for my kids (18, 15 and 11) and my sister with her 3 kids (10, 3 and 8 months). Home was very clean and inviting. The downstairs efficiency kitchen was perfect for my sister to easily tend to her little ones without having to go up and down the stairs. The canoes, kayaks and water trampoline were icing on the cake! We look forward to staying next year!

Family vacation
We had such a wonderful time with our family staying at Big Nate this summer. The home was able to accommodate all three generations of family members with enough privacy for all. Although it’s located on a busy road, we found it to be rather quiet at night without any difficulties with traffic noise. The location was perfect as we were able to be nearby other family members. Our host Shirley was so accommodating in getting back to us with any messages we sent during our stay. We can’t thank her enough for all that she does to maintain her beautiful properties. We will definitely be returning in the future!
