Lakefront Bliss Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Very nice.

Our family had a get together at this place and another home within the Lake Toxaway club community. It's lovely, right on the lake. The home uses its space well. Two bedrooms on the main floor, a large loft on the 2nd floor and the walk-out basement is its own floor. TVs are good quality, wifi is good.Kitchen is well stocked. It lives small if you have a family with a lot of cooks but we managed. We LOVED the canoe and kayaks. There is a closet in the basement with noodles and life jackets. Unlike other places we have stayed at Lake Toxaway, this dock had a staircase into the lake, which made getting in and out of the canoe and swimming a lot easier.We rented a boat from the marina and loved being on the lake every day. Deck only accommodates boat of 22 feet.The only real issue we had was parking. Know that there is only room for 2 cars. We made do with 3 by parking really close together and moving cars around. There is a church about a mile down where you can leave your cars, according to the owner.Also, lock your cars. On the first night, a bear got into my mother's car and scratched her leather seats! We think he smelled her dogs or perhaps the food she had brought with her, even though there were no dogs or food in the car. We did see a bear about 1/2 mile away that same day climbing a tree, so they are definitely around!

The lakehouse was the perfect location for a week of relaxation and exploring the lake. Being able to walk out the door and down to the dock was wonderful. Claudia was easy to communicate with and even added camping chairs we could take down to the dock to sit and relax. We loved using the kayak and rented another from the marina to explore the lake. The lower deck is lovely. With adirondack chairs and a chair swing to enjoy the gorgeous views of the lake, we could have spent the day there enjoying a good book and the views! The upper deck was nice for grilling and morning coffee.The main level of the house also had gorgeous views from the living room. The master bedroom was very spacious and quite comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed, including an impressive gas stove and a cast iron skillet!Overall, it was the relaxing family vacation we needed. We really enjoyed it and would love to return!

Lovely home and area. House is well stocked but no lake toys as other homes seemed to have had. Internet didn’t work until 3rd day and owner was unresponsive. She was out of country and did not leave anyone locally to deal with. Finally her mother from FL called to help. We waisted so much time having to wait around for internet provider. This was very frustrating considering the cost to stay for a week and we were required to deal with the service person instead of owner. Also, the housekeeper showed an hour early while we were eating breakfast. Of course we felt obligated to let her come in and begin her work. The time she was given by the owner was earlier than the stated time of check out. It seems that the owner is not prepared for managing a high price rental and the expectations of her clients. The home is very nice and in a nice neighborhood. I will note that the bedroom with two queens is actually a loft. It worked for our group but if you have light sleepers this should be taken into account.
