Our stay at Knee Deep was wonderful. The hosts gave great instructions and helped us feel prepared for what the house had to offer. We even called to get the hot tub cleaned and they came very quickly to help! The house was spacious, cozy, and had lots of entertainment.

Thanks for the kind words, Haley! We are happy to hear that the home was all you had expected and the amenities were well-equipped. We hope to have the chance to rent to you again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

Well-maintained and clean home. Location is good. Will need to drive to do anything outside. There is a lot to do in the area. Lake access is a bit of a walk and is probably good for fishing or if one has a boat. Not so much for swimming.

Hi Levan! Thank you for taking the time out to leave us with a review. It's great when the home, location, and amenities came together for a great rental experience. Please come see us again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

Stay was good! Some issues with the house like low water pressure/no soap in bathrooms/ and the bathroom doors barely locked. Enough space for everyone though and great location

Thank you for your feedback Taylor. We will be sure to pass this information along to the homeowners and maintenance concerning the water and doors to ensure that these issues are remedied. However in our rental contract we do state that we only provide hand soap for the kitchen. Otherwise we are pleased to hear that you had a fantastic time and that the location was optimal! We hope to have the chance to rent to you again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

Excellent customer support provided by Railey Vacations. The house was exactly as advertised, we had a really fun vacation and when we requested a let checkout and had further delays to check out due to a medical emergency, everything was accommodated. We loved the location and will certainly be back next summer, again renting from Railey.

Thank you for the kind review, Sourish! We’re so glad that you had a great time at Knee Deep Retreat and happy we could accommodate your needs.

Kitchen needs some work. The freezer door can’t be opened all the way because of the wall behind it. The oven was terrible to cook in because it doesn’t heat thoroughly making dinners almost impossible.

I'm sorry to hear that you experienced some trouble with the kitchen, Lindsay - we'll be sure to share your feedback with the homeowner so they are aware of your concerns. Further, we'll have our maintenance team take a look at the oven to be sure all is in working order for our future guests. Thank you for sharing your concerns with us.
