WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

Josh C.

Erin was a great host and very responsive. We had a couple of issues at check in and she was prompt in resolving them. Overall the space is great. We had ten people in our group and there was plenty of space for all of us. The kids loved the downstairs space, all the different games and the slushy maker. The little extras were nice like the coffee makers in the rooms, the espresso machine, and the ice maker. The location was great. There was deep water off the dock even though the lake level is low. It's an easy commute to the boat launch, the marina and to get groceries or food. The one downside is the steep path to the lake. You definitely need to be in good shape to make that climb multiple times a day.

Janet D.

House had everything you need and more. Plenty of space/seating for everyone. We especially enjoyed the screen porch.

Brian G.

The house, along with the views exceeded my expectations, which is not easy to do. Everything was clean and as described in the listing. I could sit on the decks and just look out at the mountains forever. We had a great and relaxing time. I definitely recommend Endless View!

Kaitlyn M.

We had an amazing stay for our girls trip! The property was exactly as described and had everything we needed. We especially loved all of the amenities and the private, peaceful setting. It felt like we were tucked away in the mountains, yet we were still just a short drive from downtown, which was the perfect balance. The house was clean, comfortable, and made for a great weekend getaway. We would definitely stay here again!

B C.

Adorable • Peaceful • Comfortable • Clean🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Great little town of Travelers Rest! Hope to return one day! Erin was accommodating and quick to respond with our questions. A wonderful host who has a very special place!

Julie J.

Erin’s place was super cute! We enjoyed our stay! We were lucky enough to have the shared areas to ourselves. I think it would have been a little uncomfortable for our couple retreat if the other place had been rented. The hot tubs for both units are side by side. It was so nice that she had the hot tub turned on and heated by the time we got there. The fire pit is super nice, riverside, and well lit. The grill was a nice added touch as was the countertop ice machine! It rained on and off the whole weekend so we did not get a chance to use the kayaks provided, but it is a nice addition to the rental. Overall a great stay!
