Carolina Properties

“The house is very dated. Bathrooms and decor need to be changed.”

“The house was a little dated, and we didn’t get the book with all the information for everything like the wifi, but it was very clean and we enjoyed our stay. When we messaged for the wifi they immediately responded so we greatly appreciated the quick communication! Overall would come again!”

“The lake view from this property is beautiful, but our overall stay was quite disappointing due to an unaddressed life-safety service request. After our first night, the smoke alarm began chirping with a low battery. I contacted the property management company right away, and they confirmed someone would come by that day to replace it. No one ever showed up, leaving the alarm beeping for the remainder of our trip. We had to listen to a constant chirp; guests should not be expected to troubleshoot or maintain life-safety equipment themselves. While we anticipated a dated home based on the listing description, basic comfort was lacking. The beds were old, noticeably lopsided, and extremely uncomfortable for my elderly father. Additionally, two of the provided kayaks were missing usable backrests, making them essentially unusable on the water. With better property upkeep and responsive maintenance follow-through, this could be a great spot, but as it stands, we would not return.”

“The house was clean and the view was beautiful. The drive way was a little difficult to maneuver especially with a large vehicle, but do able. The rental was a good value.”

“We had a great stay here! It’s a beautiful, private, CLEAN cabin - we loved it! There is so much to do in the surrounding area and it’s located in truly a perfect spot to get to everything in just a few short miles. We brought our 2 pups along since it’s a pet friendly spot, so I do wish the listing was a bit more prescriptive with just how prevalent bears are (specifically right up on the property). We thankfully didn’t encounter any, but nearly every entry within the guestbook mentioned bear sightings right up on the property (front porch!) that had me nervous the whole weekend (with my dogs). We would (and likely will!) return, just more aware of the potential bears :)”

“If you need a place to stay on the lake, have dogs, and are okay with just the basics, it’s a good find. An amazing feature is being able to dip right into the lake from the property’s dock and stone stairs.”

“Stop at dollar general before you arrive!!! You will need paper towels, trash bags, and TP For what you pay, there should not be an allowance for these items”

“The property was lovely, and we enjoyed the general layout and amenities. However, future guests should be aware of significant maintenance and safety issues. The bed frame was structurally unstable and collapsed under standard, normal, intended use, with only my average-sized, 61-year-old husband on it, due to clear wear and tear or pre-existing damage. Additionally, we encountered wet, stained basement couches and a warm refrigerator that took hours to cool down properly. When we reported the safety failure, the actual property host never reached out. Instead, we have only dealt with the management company, Carolina Properties, who chose to pursue an aggressive $1,300 structural replacement charge rather than recognizing these pre-existing maintenance issues. This hands-off hosting made for a highly stressful, tainted family vacation with unfounded accusations and assessment.”

“I ran into the owners while on the lake. The owners informed us that the property management group requires the property to be without linens. If I were the owners, I would find a different property management. Having two sets of linens should be a standard. The property was nice, but carrying linens and towels in addition to luggage up and down the stairs to get to the home, then up the spiral staircase if needed up stairs was exhausting. The kayaks were very nice, the access was great. There is no service, but the internet worked great. The address listed appears in google maps at the end of the street, but it is actually the very first house in the right. We were very confused upon arrival and due to the no service, we could not call the property management group.”

“We booked this house for our family vacation. 1st I'll say the house was terrific and the dock was very nice. Carolina Properties shouldn't be managing it though. Their employees misquoted an extra night stay and took nearly 12 hrs for Kevin to respond. The kitchen is fully stocked but the pots, Frying pans and knives are useless. Landscapers showed up to spread mulch and blocked our driveway for 2 days. Couldn't enjoy our decks because they were working all around the property. I towed my motorcycle to the property to ride through the mountains. The Gaurd at Rumbling bald resort let us in without issue, but the next day I rode the bike out for a few hours and upon arriving back a different guard wouldn't let me through the gate stating No motorcycles allowed. I spoke to the director and she said the HOA don't allow them. Nowhere in the rules provided to us stated no motorcycles. This info upfront would have been important. If you ride a bik, book somewhere else”
