“My extended family enjoyed Thanksgiving week at Tanasi Lodge. The mountain views are stunning. The younger children loved the gameroom and movie theater.”
“Loved the location. We were in town for a baseball tournament, and the location was perfect for easy trip to the fields and getting to the beach as fast as possible after.”
“We had a wonderful time at Sarah’s beach house. Great location, easy to get to and close all the popular spots. Lovely beach house, great pool and beach is just a short walk.”
“Our family stayed at Sarah's home for 3 days while we attended my niece's wedding on the beach. The house was perfect — plenty of room for our party of 11. I highly recommend this home…and Sarah.”
“Sarah was a great host. The lodge is fantastic and our family enjoyed the time we had there very much. Lots of good details and plenty of space for a large group.”
