We had a large family group that vacationed at Watts Barr Lake for the total eclipse, since it was in the absolute middle of the path of totality. We could not have picked a better spot!! What an amazing event to be a part of!

We split our group between this house and another rental house several miles away, but everyone came to this house for the event because of the large yard all the way down to the lake. The location was very relaxing and one of the most quiet lakes I've ever been to. The house was perfect!! I've never rented a more accommodating rental house. It was very easy for my elderly mother-in-law to get in and around the house (no steps into the front and only one step out onto the back porch). We are from NC and rentals at the beaches and lakes in NC NEVER provide sheets and/or towels (and if available, you'll pay extra), which was so convenient and saved us precious room in our car! There is an extra refrigerator, which also helped with the large meal we served to the group on eclipse day.

The owner, Faye, was very responsive to all my emails and texts that I sent before and during our trip. She was very accommodating and helpful and genuinely wanted us to be comfortable and have a good time, which we did!! If ever we come back, we will definitely rent the house again! Thank you for everything Faye!!
