The property was beautiful and provided everything we needed for our stay. The house was wonderful and the boathouse provided a great spot for family time and cooling off during the hot days.
Beautiful home and property. Porch you could sit on all day just watching the boatsAll bedrooms were great and plenty of everything you could ever needKate was a dream to work with and was always attentive to any questions or needs we hadThanks for a great vacation Kate
The property was excellent. There were 8 women and we were able to comfortably accommodate everyone. The home was clean, great location and overall, an excellent experience.
The Wine Down home is beautifully set in a quiet neighborhood. The amenities made our 8-day stay so easy with a fully furnished kitchen, basic supplies, and a beautiful double boathouse with upper sundeck. The decor in the home looks like something out of a magazineâŠyou literally want to relax. Lots to do with local shopping, boating, fishing, and more. The host is amazing and is quick to respond to any questions. I highly recommend Wine Down to any family looking to âwine downâ!
Our group included my husband, myself, one of our sons, and his 2 teens. The house is very clean, like new, beautifully decorated, and well appointed with everything we needed to be comfortable. The property owner is very nice, and easily contacted. The boathouse is in like new condition, and is a great place to relax while fishing. We enjoyed the firepit, roasting hot dogs, and making smores. This is a great getaway for reconnecting with family.
Our family- including 2 grown children and their children spent the week at WineDown and it was perfect!
Location, things todo, well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, glorious front porch rockers..... it was all there! Weâve been doing family vacations for 30+ years and this is the first home that we would come back to. Seriously....couldnât find any fault with the home!
Kate is a great hostess- very responsive for any needs.
A+++++
Just like a dream! Very homey and comfortable. Kitchen fully stocked with excellent cookware. Beds were very comfortable. The lot is very large and very private. House had a place for everyone to gather together and a place for everyone to separate and have their own space too. We were quite comfortable there and not quite ready to leave! The property manager was friendly and accommodating too!
This house is perfect for a family vacation with plenty of room and a great rec room with games, tv, etc. Having a private boat ramp next to the property along with a nice boathouse (with lifts) was definitely a plus. The kids enjoyed both the beach area and swimming and fishing from the dock. There was nothing that we needed that was not provided. The kitchen is equipped with anything the cook might need. Plenty of dishes, glassware, and cookware plus a complete array of small appliances. Host communicated well and provided additional information for recommended dining, shopping, and recreational opportunities. An excellent VRBO.
Let's start with the positives, the Lake is beautiful & the house is nicely situated on the property with a private dock. We rented a pontoon boat for the week & my sons had a great time fishing, (catfish, BlueGill and Bass) The house is very nicely decorated with ample storage. Biggest negatives: the house appears neglected by the owner. When we arrived there were only 3 (total) full size garbage bags & no small bags for the bathrooms. There was no liquid dish soap,no dishwasher soap & no sponges. (hard to clean dishes without a sponge or garbage disposal) The grass was knee high and the recyclables were never picked up. One of the bathrooms had a quarter roll of TP plus one additional for the week (for a floor housing 4 people) When I contacted the owner she replied "If you need more beyond what is provided, there are places nearby to pick some up." The gas grill was filthy and probably hasn't been cleaned out in more than a year. Once I used the meager (1/2 tank) supply to clean the grill I found rusted grates. The dock fridge was filthy & the water outlets did not work. Contacted the host & she replied with the location of the water valve but added "I believe there might be a leak in the line." Hah! The line leaked like a spigot so that meant walking between the house & the dock to turn the water on/off. One of the kayaks had a broken back and they were filthy, full of spiders, leaves and other debris. Not what I expected from a "luxury" escape!
Once again Kateâs lake home provided us with a wonderful family vacation. We just got home and are ready to go back! Thanks Kate for opening your lake paradise up to us to enjoyâŠagain!..lol
The property was fantastic. The only thing better was Kate, the host. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of extras. A special thanks for accommodating our boats. I will definitely book again!!!!
Spent a long weekend with two other couples for some fishing and group bonding. Had a great time with alot of good memories. Though the fishing wasn't as good as we hope, that was more a testimony to our skill level than the lake :). Plenty of room for all of us having our own bedroom and bathroom and the kitchen was spacious with a large island and dinning room table for meals, cards and dominos in the evening. We met the neighbors on both sides who were extremely friendly and helpful with using the boat ramp next door.

A perfect house for family gatherings..lots of space inside and out and plenty of âtoysâ for kids and adults. The boat house is great for swimming, sunning, or just relaxing in the shaded area. Having the boat ramp next to the house and use of the boat lifts is a real plus. The house is furnished nicely and the kitchen is well equipped with small appliances, dish ware, and utensils. Host was excellent and communication was excellent as well. Five stars all the way!
We have stayed at this property for the past three years and have not been disappointed once! Everything about this place is convenient and well organized. Kate the owner is awesome to deal with and is always very welcoming before and during your stay. We plan on staying again next year!
Great house, plenty of room for 8 adults. Loved being right on the water, and the boathouse is perfect for hanging out, swimming and fishing. Large yard for games as well. Kitchen is well stocked. Be sure to bring your own sheets and towels (we almost missed that in the notes). Kate was super responsive and helpful throughout the whole process!
Hi! Thanks for considering my house for your vacation! I bought this property to enjoy with my friends and family when I was living in NYC and needed to have a respite from the fast pace of the city!! My friends and family are largely in the VA/NC area and so it was the perfect central location to be able to enjoy time with people I love. Since buying the house, I have relocated to NC and am able to enjoy the house much more regularly now - which has been fantastic! I travel internationally a lot and so you will see hints of my travels throughout the house. Hope you love it as much as I do!
This property has it all - a wonderful point lot with 221 feet of lake frontage, private beach areas and feels very private while still being close to the marina, the main lake, Washburnâs and local shopping area. The house is perfect for groups of friends or multiple families because its laid out with kitchen/bar and living areas on both of the main floors, with bedrooms and full baths. Plus, the boathouse! If you want sun or shade, motor boats, jet skiâs or kayaks, or just want to relax with good food and drinks, you wonât need to leave. Itâs a very unique and special property! Hope you love it as much as I do!
This house has 270 degree views of water and 211 feet of water frontage with private boathouse and beach areas. If your want to have fun and relax, this is it.
The house has two main levels each with living spaces and kitchen areas. There are multiple places to gather, eat and drink, so you can all have the vacation you want.
