Wonderful home in a secluded community

This home is spacious and wonderful for a large group. We loved that there were not only beds for everyone, but tons of space in the living room and dining room. While in a community, homes were very spaced out and the lots are wooded, so you had privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

Peaceful retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great time checking out Long Branch Lakes. The rental was perfect for as a new landowner at LBL to check out the amenities and enjoy some time on the water fishing. The house rental was clean and very comfortable. Very quiet and great place to relax and slow your pace.

Family Lake getaway

Came for some family, fishing and fun. Great weekend trip and the house was perfect for our stay. The only negative I had is poor lighting in the drive. There are stairs leading to sidewalk to front porch and cannot be seen at night. We had to use our flashlights to make sure no one fell getting in the house.

Perfect Accommodations for Family - Great Location for Area Attractions

We had 5 adults and 3 very excited children for this 4 day getaway (3 generations). The joyous sounds of the children exploring and playing in this home were constant and priceless. The 5 y/o wished we would've rented it for 100 days. Visiting Fall Creek Falls and hiking trails every day was a fantastic experience for all. The fire pit was great on a very chilly night. If you're renting be sure to bring extra TP, paper towels, and Kleenex. Bring laundry soap if you think you'll need it. We would rent it again for sure. The General Store/Restaraunt had some great food and friendly service though they told us immediately we weren't allowed to use the amenities - I assured them we were. She thought we were condo renters and agreed we had access after discussion. We would all recommend this home.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we had a good time. The area seemed to be vacated overall...the general store was only open for a few hours a couple of days per week...the house had a bunch of mousetraps everywhere and lots of mouse droppings. The important things were cleaned (kitchen, bathrooms, linens) but the home still felt like nobody had been there for a while (dead bugs on the carpets, needed to be vacuumed). The confirmation paperwork had lots of contradicting information but I always got quick responses when I texted for clarification, which was nice. The lighting was horrible, the furniture was very worn. I probably wouldn’t rent again, but my family and I had a good time together.

The Preserve Review

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was more than happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was more than helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is wonderful with wonderful surprises around every turn. They had even added another queen bed in the bonus room. We especially enjoyed the porch, the kitchen and all the space. We thought there was going to be a gas grill outside but instead found a charcoal one. They had no sponges to use wiping counters and washing dishes but this was a minor inconvenience. Our biggest disappointment was that the pool was closed- something we had not expected in June. A home owner told us that Long Branch Lakes property was in bankruptcy, so management didn't want to open pool until there were new owners. We were glad we got our supplies the first night because this property is quite a distance from any stores, restaurants, etc. We also got a bit lost because GPS on our phones would not get good reception. All in all, it was a wonderful weekend. Just wish we had known about the pool ahead of time.

Loved the Fall Creek Falls Area

Let me start by saying, our trip was wonderful! We visited many state parks, Cumberland Cavern and enjoyed the Canopy Challenge at Fall Creek Falls State Park. The cabin was wonderful inside, extremely nice appliances and very spacious. The photos outside are dated, currently the entire front porch needs a paint job. Lisa, the owner was very attentive and quick to respond which was lovely. However, the amenities listed in the paperwork I received were very inaccurate and need updated, so beware. There is a general store and cafe on the property (which we counted on for lunches) but it was only open on Friday from 11 to 2 the entire week we were there. The beautiful pool was closed the entire week due to needed repairs, which I didn't find out until my last payment was made. The paperwork mentions that you can rent Bass fishing equipment to use in the 2 lakes on the property, but that also was not available. Also, the lakes and docks on the property are wonderful, but bring rafts, canoes or kayaks because there is no place to rent them. The grill is charcoal, so bring supplies if you plan on using it. Paperwork states a gas grill. Due to the distance to restaurants or major grocery stores (Walmart was 30 minutes), we cooked in each day. So, take ALL supplies needed, for example cutting board, plastic pitcher for drinks, storage containers for leftovers, aluminum foil, baggies, etc. Loved the fire pit, but no chairs, so bring your own. Overall, loved the cabin and area!

Three-night stay at The Preserve

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the best property we have ever used for our annual family gatherings. The family has grown enough that some had to stay at a motel (I think was in Sparta),but evening meals and a gathering place for trips to Fall Creek Falls worked out just great. The facility is very large, allowing for plenty of room for gathering, both inside and outside. Very clean, tidy and well appointed with all upscale appliances and kitchen ware. Thank you for a great experience. P.S., the activity center (tennis, basketball, swimming, etc.)is well within walking distance and well kept.

Beautiful Retreat in the Woods

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a beautiful retreat surrounded by woods on all sides! Natural light & views of nature fill every room in this home. Spacious & even larger than pics show, we had plenty of room for 3 adults & 4 kids & our family pets too. The bonus spaces upstairs & down were a pleasant surprise upon arrival. There is a king & a queen bed in the bonus space upstairs with plenty of room to spread out. Also my youngest loved the extra bunk/play space in one of the upstairs bedrooms. The kitchen is sufficient but lacking in cookware enough for a large family such as ours. Bring your own large pots if you are bringing a crowd. We loved the surround sound speaker system to play music throughout that downstairs living spaces & out on the deck too. The community pool was the perfect way to cool off after long hikes in the state park. We never saw the general store actually open. Plan your meals & get your groceries on the way to the cabin as the nearest grocery stores are 30+ minutes away. There is a Dollar General about 5 miles from the park entrance for last minute things. Our family has enjoyed many trips to the area and the Preserve is by far the nicest & most spacious rental we have found. It’s about a 20 min drive from the nature center at the park & all the beauty the park has to offer. It was the perfect place for a wonderful family trip!

While the location was a little farther from the shooting park that we realized, the accommodations was well worth the drive. The property management team is great to work with. We intend to go back again next year.

The entry was dangerous because of rotten boards on deck. Ad showed a pool. The community pool was locked with a sign that said closed for the winter. It’s July. Lights in the dining room were not operational. Called and was told they knew about the problem but did not offer to fix it. Had to dine as a family in almost dark conditions. Very disappointed.

We loved our time at Cliff and Lisa’s house! Yes, it’s far from most things, but that’s what we loved about it! I enjoyed sitting on the back deck every night, rocking in the rocking chair! The night it rained was The Best!! And having all our kids playing games and laughing at the dinning room table made both my husbands and my heart happy❤️❤️ We would definitely come back again!
