Summary: Beautiful lakeside home for a large family or small group getaway. The lake and dock was wonderful even on a cool rainy weekend. The vibe is perfect for small craft and the garage is loaded with lots of opinions. Very nicely outfitted and large kitchen and dining room. A few things to consider, despite any website that suggests there is a hot tub, there is no hot tub. And the house is cold as heck when you arrive and take a very long time to warm up even with every heat source maxed. Don't forget a hike up Enchanted Valley!

Summary: A REAL STUNNER!! We had an amazing Thanksgiving week at Otter Banks. There was eight of us aged 9 to 87, and a great time was had by all. We played a lot of the games provided and really enjoyed just hangin out watching football. We have traveled extensively around the nation and this was the nicest propertywe have rented. The photos do not do it justice, which is something we have frequently found to be the opposite. The house was completely stocked with everything needed. Thankfully they even had a turkey roaster pan. More towels than we could ever use along with plenty of extra pillows and blankets. We hope to come back in the summer to use the kayaks and enjoy more of the outdoors. This trip was to relax in the cozy house and gaze out to the gorgeous scenery. A family of four deer wandered thru each morning which was a treat for us .

Summary: Another fantastic time making memories with my family at Otter Banks! We spent many hours on the lake kayaking and on the dock taking in the view and enjoying the fantastic weather together. The house is comfortable and so well laid out and furnished that it feels like home and not just a rental. The only problem that we had is when the front door lock quit working and we couldn't access the house through that door at the end of our trip and a key to the house was not in the alternate lock box. Hauling our things to our cars via the master bedroom door and the laundry room door was a real drag! Hopefully it was taken care of before the next renter arrived. We had the wonderful luck of experiencing the scene of a mother raccoon with her baby scaling a log just off of the shore while we were sunning on the dock. We love this place so much that we already have our vacation for next year booked and paid for! We even added another day! The only thing that would make this even better is if we were allowed to bring our Boston terrier. We're looking forward to spending time here next summer!

Summary: We were looking for a family friendly home where our adult children, grandchildren Aunt and Uncle could all have fun. We found it! Otter Banks is awesome. The house is beautiful the property and lake are so enjoyable to just watch the day go by. The accommodations were very nice. Plenty of room for family or alone time. The kitchen is well stocked as well as tons of games and books. Not to mention the kayaks. The property owners really thought of everything. I think I can safely say that our family loved it there and would love to go back again. We saw deer every day and we did see an otter cruising around one evening. The beach and the town of Florence were a few min drive from the house and was close to beautiful scenery. We loved it!

Summary: This home is a 10!,! We were ALL impressed with this home, from the views to the beds! The family loved the Kayaks, and even watching the rain from several viewpoints! The only suggestion is for those unfamiliar with the area, (we had one of those) planned on the 19 minute walk to Old Town that took almost 3 hours, and there was no need for bathing suits since there was no stated hot tub. Great trip and home! We loved it!

Summary: What an amazing time we had as a family! The home and the property are just beautiful! They’ve thought of everything with this property… Everything you need is there! Our two granddaughters, ages seven and 10 were in the lake nonstop. They enjoyed the kayaks very much! We got so lucky with the weather. It was 80° and beautiful. An added bonus was for the deer that stopped by to see us one morning and especially the northern lights that we were so fortunate to see. This was a vacation our family needed, and we want to say thank you so much!
