Needless to say, we had an amazing time. 6 kids, 6 adults, and zero complaints! This is our second return to your lovely home, and we hope to return again same time next year. The two boys learned to waterski like champs and the girls belly-laughed for days�it was everything a vacation should be�good friends, good times, memories created on the lake to last for days. Thank you!

What a wonderful vacation home! We were here with our daughter, son-in-law, 4 yr. old grandson�who loved doing �cannonballs� off the pier! We brought our Sea-Doo & enjoyed exploring and tubing with it! Our first day here we visited Rosemont Winery & really enjoyed our experience there! On Wednesday, we rented a pontoon boat & spent 7 hours on the lake! We have enjoyed fishing at night and got some �little fishes� which was exciting for our little [4 yr. old grandson]. Unfortunately, we had to leave a couple of days early because of having to prepare our homes for the arrival of Hurricane Irene. We are from Washington, NC & get hit hard with storm surge from hurricanes! But we have enjoyed being here & felt right at home! Another high was going to The Pointe at Eaton�s Ferry Bridge�great food & [4 yr. old grandson] loved feeding the huge catfish & bass at the pier there!!

We had a fantastic time at your house! We caught tons of fish (the trick is chicken liver). The biggest was 23 inches and 4 pounds. (The seven year old kid caught it.) Catfish! The white loops around the dock we used as Noodleville where all 18 noodles lived. � had a dream of playing Bingo so he went on Thursday and won $20. He would have won more but he was all confused because the lady across from him is all like, �Honey, pay attention. Honey, you have to pay attention.� And she kept stamping his card for him. � had a horseshoe championship. Mom won. Three ringers and a leaner! Eleven points in about 5 minutes!!!

The lake is very quiet and relaxing. The cove is fantastic. The neighborhood is quiet and good for walking. The little kids from � loved collecting clam shells. They even found big, huge ones with meat. They would like stairs going into the shallow end though. Stairs or a ladder.

The bugs in the house [coming in from the open doors] were annoying, but every perfect place has a downside. We hate to leave and we plan on coming back next year. Thanks!

The house was epic! Fishing was great, tons of catfish off the dock, way better than Smith Mountain Lake. The End.

We so enjoyed the week at this wonderful house! The weather started out hot (over 100˚) but rains on Monday and Tuesday nights cooled it down considerably. Other than having a great time boating, eating and relaxing, two highlights were: *Goats on Goat Island! Very sweet but they�ll jump your boat and try to come home with you. *Cows cooling themselves in the waters beyond the causeway�just saw them one day. Fun times!!

We had a fantastic time. The yard and dock made it so great for the kids. We thought the place was so well stocked. Loved our time.        Ellicott City, MD; Arlington & Charlottesville, VA

It�s our last evening here. Can�t believe it�s over already. I think we need 2 weeks next year. We enjoyed having other family members join us, who traveled approx. 20 hours from Missouri. My dad from western MD and others who live nearby in Dunn, NC and were able to drop by for a couple of days. So what did we do while we were here? Mostly relaxed, swam, and took our two boats out to fish and pull the Super Mabel [towable] we recently purchased. We also enjoyed the paddle boat (especially the kids) and the well stocked house (kids played Uno, Clue & Monopoly). The ping pong table & garage games were hits as well. Our 9 yr. old son took an hour wakeboard lesson around the corner at Adam Fields� Wakeboard School. His instructor was Bryan. He had a blast and made for a memorable moment (tip: if you use your own boat it�s cheaper). The cove ducks also paid us several visits, which the kids liked & many turtles poked their heads out to watch us too. Fishing was good. My husband caught a 5 lb. bass the first morning. Started the week off w/ a bang. No one ever topped it but it made for a good challenge. One of our other anglers caught a 3 lb. catfish right off the dock midday with everyone splashing around. Never had a chance to try out any of the lake restaurants with the exception of Toppers pizza delivery one night (very tasty) and Andy�s for a chicken Philly & cheeseburger the first day we arrived. Made a few trips to Food Lion and prepared the majority of our meals here. Finally we watched a few movies but we really didn�t have the time too much. Too many other activities to keep everyone busy. The weather cooperated nicely too so much of our time was spent outside. Would certainly consider staying @ Lakeside Leisure again. Perfect lake location and great house layout for multiple families. Thanks to the owners for sharing their home for others to enjoy & to the ladies @ Waterfront Properties for their assistance.     Damascus & Flintstone, MD; Kansas City, MO; Dunn, NC
