Beautiful and quiet location. Perfect for our family reunion. Very well equipped kitchen. Many VRBO's only give you a starting supply of paper products, but Lost Branch provides an ample quantity for a large group. Owner is very detailed in providing everything you need for your stay. We would definitely stay again.
