Reviews


-June 2023 
We loved that you allowed pets! Our whole family could be together! 

 -September 2022 
We had a great time. The place was just as described. Felt very comfortable and homey. The lay out of the house was ideal for privacy and most anything you need for cooking is in the kitchen. The property management team was superb and made the process super easy. Wonderful getaway that I would definitely recommend!

 -June 2022 
Lovely house & setting. Great Dock! Great firepit! Overall, enjoyed trip and would recommend house. 

 -June 2022 
Wonderful location and spot on the lake. We had a great time. 

 -April 2022 
Great house at the lake. Relaxing trip!

 -August 2021 
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We had a wonderful vacation. The location and accommodations were so fantastic. 

 -August 2021 
Reading, kayaking, family dinners and games. The perfect getaway. Very peaceful. 

 -June 2021
 Very nice house. Thank you for the kayak and SUP! 

 -May 2021 
Great location, great outdoor space. Community boat ramp is a huge plus! We enjoyed the stay very much. Thanks! 

 -May 2021 
We had a lovely time staying at this lakefront home for my eldest daughter’s graduation. The views were fantastic. The house was very clean. 

 -May 2021 
We had a great time staying at English Retreat. The house was everything we wanted. We really loved the fire pit and the dock. Rented a boat so it was nice to be able to come and go as we pleased. Kitchen is well stocked. Living room and downstairs are roomy . Our dog really enjoyed the ability to run around the property as well as a quick dip in the water. Overall it was a great time and well worth it! 

 -April 2021 
This location was perfect for our large family and pets! The house had everything we needed to make our stay fun and comfortable. We would love to come and stay again someday! 

 -April 2021 
Thank you for a great visit and weekend! We brought 6 kids, so the downstairs game room was a big hit. Water access and water equipment worked great; very nice dock. Chilly weekend in April, so we got to enjoy the fire pit area as well. Hope to return soon! 

 -November 2020 
My husband and I invited out daughter, husband, and infant son and our son and his fiancé for Thanksgiving weekend. The kitchen was spacious and very well stocked (which was important since I forgot a couple of things), The living area was roomy and comfortable. Since we had nice weather we even used the deck and the fire pit. The bedrooms and bathrooms were on three different levels and this was the deciding factor in selecting this property. We would definitely choose to stay there again. -October 2020 Vey cozy home- our family really enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed the kayaks and especially the fire pit, perfect for a fall weekend.

 -October 2020
 It's obvious the owners take good care of the house. Everything was functional and clean. The kitchen was stocked well enough to be able to cook your average meal (although knives do need to be replaced or sharpened). Like many of the properties around the lake, linen service was not provided, but the leasing office provided the name of a service that dropped off linens. I only wish more houses would just include linens as part of the rental cost. The location down near the dam was great, best part of the lake. The floating portion of the dock was large enough to accommodate a 24ft pontoon that we rented. The owners also provide two kayaks for guest use, which was nice. The fire pit was great, we enjoyed it on a nice fall evening. This part of the lake has a steep shoreline, so the walk from the dock to the house involves a fair amount of steep steps. Fine for your average person, but anyone with mobility issues, take this into consideration. We would definitely stay here again.

 -September 2020 
Had a wonderful family weekend. Explored the cove via kayak at the property and hung out of the dock. We also rented a boat at Bridgewater Marina and crossed the lake back to the house. Had a wonderful time on a beautiful lake with so much to see and enjoy. -August 2020 Snagged a quick 3 day weekend away at this hidden gem in the mountains. The property is amazing! Easy access to the water, private community boat ramp, and just all around great neighborhood to rent from. Will definitely visit again soon! 

-August 2020 
Loved! Gorgeous Views! Awesome Vacation! 

 -June 2020
 Your home is lovely! So many nice touches. We had everything we needed. Thanks for making the process easy! 

 -May 2020 
Loved all the games! Lake Retreat - Very organized and friendly staff! We loved our first trip to VA!

 -May 2020
 This was the perfect location for a weekend of relaxing and family fun. You can’t beat the view of the mountains and the lake is perfect. My girls loved the kayaks and floating in the cove. Thank you for sharing your home with us! 

-August 2019 
This was the perfect lake house! 

 -June 2019 W
e really enjoyed our stay! It was great having the kayaks and paddleboard on the dock and having the refrigerator. 

-May 2018
 Lovely! Well appointed spacious house on a quaint cove! Great place to relax and reconnect with family. Would love to return and stay longer! 

-April 2018 
Nice family get away. Easy booking, nice clean house, well kept and updated. Wish the weather had been warmer so we could have enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board. Did not realize most restaurants were closed on Sunday- Tuesday. We will keep that in mind next time we book in this area.
