Hot Tub & Dock: Lakefront Connelly Springs Escape

Reviews

• Great Family Time

  5/5

  We had five adults and four children stay for a week over the Fourth of July. As a person with mobility issues, the three steps to the front door with only a grab bar installed on the post, was challenging for me. Thankfully, the main floor includes the master bedroom and bathroom, great room, kitchen and wonderful screened porch. The rest of my family enjoyed the theater room, the game room and other bedrooms. I do want to point out that there is a bunk over each of the queen or full beds.On arrival, we couldn't figure out the kitchen faucet but easy communication with the property manager let us know it was a motion activated faucet. No one enjoyed using it as it would turn off when you didn't want it to. We also experienced a fruit fly infestation. They were in every bathroom and kitchen. We remedied this by purchasing fruit fly traps at Walmart. After the initial hindrances, we were able to have a wonderful time in this beautifully decorated home. The layout provided many areas for our large group to enjoy. Our children were able to climb down the steep path to the pier and use the kayaks on the lake. In the description of this home, it is mentioned that the owner may be present in the guest house. I thought that I would be ok with that. What ended up happening during our one week stay was that two different family groups that were "friends" of the owners used the guest house. So there were additional people on the property.

  From the Owner: "Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We’re delighted that your family enjoyed a memorable Fourth of July week at the lake and that the spacious layout and amenities provided plenty of enjoyment.
  We appreciate your feedback regarding the front entry and will certainly take that into account for future improvements to enhance accessibility.
  We also want to acknowledge the fruit fly issue — recent rainy weather in the area has contributed to this, and we’re actively working on preventative measures to ensure it doesn’t affect future guests.
  As for the guest house, we sincerely apologize for any discomfort this caused. While the listing does note that the owner may be present, we understand how unexpected visitors — even friends of the owner — can create concern. We’ll take steps to communicate this more clearly going forward.
  We truly value your thoughtful feedback and are so glad your group was able to make lasting memories here at the lake. We hope to welcome you back soon!"

  We rent homes often in the Hickory/Lenoir area. This house is definitely one of the best!! Very new, comfortable rooms, fabulous screened porch. Likely will rent here again in the future.
