Mike and Patricia,
I'm not sure we can put into words what a wonderful oasis your place was at a time when we needed some downtime. We stopped at your place on our way from Texas while moving to Virginia. After spending several weeks prepping for our move, we were tired and spent. And your home was just the place to let loose of the fatigue and weariness! From the welcoming and comfortable decor to the peaceful creek to the amazing sunrises over the trees and the amazing sunsets over the lake, our souls and our bodies found much rest, relaxation, and memories made with good friends!
Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for folks to relax and unwind and enjoy nature in such astounding ways!
With Gratitude,
Geoffrey and Beth Athey

Hi Patricia,
We had a wonderful time at your beautiful lake home! We loved the house and the amazing sunsets! There was just a touch of fall color but warm enough last weekend to be on the lake and in the water. Lacy's had already "winterized" their rentals but we went to Shiloh Marina and rented there which worked out fine. We hope to return to Hayden's Hideaway in the future.
Thanks again.

Patricia,
We had a great week out at your place! Your home is very cozy and very comfortable! We really enjoyed the watermelon! The only thing that we would change is not having to park on such an incline and to have a boat slip at the camp instead of having to park at the marina's. But we are already talking about next year's vacation, so we will probably be contacting you in the next couple of months for next summer!
Thanks,

The house was wonderful! It far exceeded my expectations. The cakes were a success. We had a few worried moments transporting the cake to the main highway but no major trouble. I now realize that making a cake for one's own children causes a bit more tension than just making a wedding cake for someone else.
I had to wait until I returned to school to access e-mail. So I am sorry for the delay. Again, thank you for your part in making the wedding a memorable event!
Sincerely,
Verna

Just wanted to drop you a note Thanks for the July 4 Rental
your house is great, what a beautiful place, my wife fell in love with your
couch and chair. I think she is already trying to find one like it now.
we had a great time thanks so much.
we did bring the boat and kept it at Hill Creek Marina what a nice group of
people there Steve took care of us and our boat very well.
Thanks

Thanks for your message. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay in Hayden’s Hideaway, and I hope we left everything in order.
It was fun to bring some of our own Thanksgiving decorations for the hearth, table, and bar. The mood was festive, the cabin was cozy, the weather was crisp, and our family loved it.
High points included:
the cozy look of the cabin
the nice facilities, well-equipped kitchen/baths, and attractive decor
a lovely evening fire in the fireplace
the great view over the lake
a wonderful walk,climb in the woods on Thanksgiving Day
and last but not least, that wonderful pillow-top mattress on the master bedroom bed.
All of us wished we could stay longer; maybe we can return at some point!

Hi Patricia,
I got the check and cashed it on Friday. Thank you very much!
We LOVED the house. It might be silly, but one of my favorite things was the bed! The other house we rented had older, not nearly as comfortable beds, but at the hideaway, it was just so nice to climb in at the end of the day for a nice night of sleep. BTW- I did take the master... hehehe.
I also really appreciated the extras around the house, like fruit, soap, a sponge, charcoal, coffee, games, satellite, the list goes on. We left the charcoal and lighter fluid as we ended up not using them, but still, it was nice to know it was there in case.
The other house had a bigger living area and a huge deck, so we spent most of the time there. But the first day we were at the hideaway, we went down to the lake and swam around in the little cove, just hanging out. We ended up with 9 people the first night and 11 the next. Everyone was very comfortable! (The other house I rented said 9 as well, but it was more like a comfortable 6 and then I don't know where they wanted the rest of them...)
We noticed that some of the people who wrote in your comments book seemed to take it more as a "critique" book, so we tried to avoid that. I agree with the general concensus that the access to the lake is pretty steep and it would be really great to know if the owners of the dock might be interested in allowing rental of a space while staying at the house. I think that it might be good to warn people in the description that the access is as steep as it is in the case that people might have difficulty with the climb.
That said, we really, really thought it was a great place. We all said that if we could have a lake house someday, we'd love it to be just like yours.
Thank you again, very, very much for everything, including the birthday present of the decreased fee. If I ever decide to put up that many people again, or know anyone else who wants to, I'll definitely recommend you guys.
Have a great weekend,
Neely :)
Hi Neely,
Hope you had a great birthday. Your full deposit refund is on it's way to you.
I would love to get any feedback you may have.
Thank you,
Patricia

Patricia,
Are your ears burning? We were just talking about you and I was going to send you an email and let you know how much we enjoyed it. Everything was so clean (which is so different from places we have rented in the past) and there were real towels, and everything we could need in the kitchen, and the charcoal was a really nice touch so we didn't have to haul it down the hill. It was so "homey" and we had a wonderful time. Now the "four wheeler trail" they call a road leading into it was a bit deceiving, had you not sent us the specific directions, we never would have thought we were going the right way- we laughed the whole way down the road! Thanks so much for renting to us-
Hopefully it will work out again next year-

Hi Patricia,
Sorry I haven't e-mailed you already, it's been a busy week at work. That's typical after a vacation. We had a wonderful time at the lake. The house was beautiful!! It was the perfect place for our group. We only wish we had all been in better shape for the hikes from the lake up to the house. Ha Ha!! It was worth every hike we made!!
You have a wonderful lake house. All the girls loved the bright and stylish decor within the house. My favorite place is the sun deck. I was there every morning when the sun rose, it was beautiful! You really have it set up well for your guest. I can't think of anything we needed that you didn't have, except for more time to spend there! Oh well, there's always next time.
It was really nice to meet you through our e-mails and phone calls in the past month.
Thanks and Take care.

We had a fabulous time at the lake. Your house was beautiful and very comfortable. Everything was perfect. The roof looked great! If one were interested in buying your place I would be interested to know which of the docks is yours and how much rental business does it do.

Wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at your lake home. We had a full house with 8 total and we really enjoyed the setting! The house was great and we had great fun on the lake. Fishing was not very good, but we caught enough for one meal.

| We had a wonderful time at your lake house! We have been to Greer's Ferry a few times before but have never felt more relaxed or comfortable as we did at Hayden's Hideaway. Thanks for your assistance in trying to get the Tennessee game as well as for the extra touches such as the note and fruit basket. We would love to come back again next year! |

Hi Patricia:
The lake house is wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed the calm water and the beautiful house and property. The fruit basket and kitchen supplies were appreciated very much. Our favorite spot was sitting on the screened porch every morning. Thanks again for such a lovely vacation. We will look forward to returning next year. |

Patricia,
We're home and finally settled back into routine again, but I wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much we enjoyed the lakehouse. It was so relaxing and other than food and personal items you guys had everything. It was nice to prepare a meal and have all of the tools provided to do so. The home is decorated beautifully and the beds were very comfy. My kids were thrilled and my oldest said the vacation rated a 9 out of 10. However, my husband came across a copperhead a couple of times around the boat dock. We laughed and said the snakes couldn't read the "no snakes" sign. Depending on how many we vacation with next year we may very well be calling you for then. Hope your vacation at Greers Ferry will be as enjoyable as ours was!
Thanks Again,

Patricia,
We had a great time this weekend! Your home was quite impressive and so was the surrounding lake. We worked hard to keep the home as nice as it was when we arrived. Thanks to Gloria Thompson and her husband, we had minor problems that were quickly corrected with the well water system and bedroom TV. You have excellent people in Gloria and Coy helping you manage the home. If you have their email address, we would like to send them our thanks as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope that we can return sometime in the future.
Members of our family were interested in finding out some details about the beautiful furnishings you had in the home. Could you tell us where you purchased the dining table and dining room curtains?
Thanks again! We had a relaxing and fun weekend with family that will be remembered for a long time.
Talk to you soon!

Dear Prospective Guests,
My husband and I have just completed the total refurnishing and refurbishing of our lake home and it is gorgeous.
Our only regret is that we can't be there.
We think you will fall in love with the place as we have.
Sincerely,
Mike & Patricia Hayden /Owners
