We love this house and has been our 3rd time staying in it. Fits our large family with lots of king beds and lots of nooks and cranny’s to put babies pack n plays upOut of the way and quiet.The walk to the doc is short and not too steep. Can’t wait to come back!

I had booked 2 other rentals, both of which had to cancel the booking for various reasons. I'm very glad they did as we wouldn't have ended up here. It was absolutely perfect. Beautiful home, easy walk to the dock, plenty to do indoors if you happen upon rainy days. 10/10

We had a great time at the beautiful property, with enough room to spread out, which is unusual for our large family.

Of all the vacation homes we have rented (and there are many), this was by far our favorite. From the moment you step through the front door you feel at home, as the house has all the amenities you would ever need to enjoy your time there, even if it was not on a lake! The game room and theater room were a huge hit during the brief rainstorms that rolled through each day, the kitchen is very well stocked and made for easy meals, and the main level deck served as our dining room each day, starting with our morning coffee. Beds and furniture are all very comfortable, there are plenty of towels and sheets and, most importantly, plenty of space to spread out. All this and we have not talked about the best part - the lake!
With easy access to the water, multiple covered porches and the hammock and fire pit at the water’s edge, it is an extremely peaceful setting. The lake is very clear (a rarity in NC) and we had a blast paddling every day on the provided SUPs, kayaks and tubes, and the covered dock served-up some much needed shade for afternoon naps on the water. The views of the lake and surrounding mountains are incredible, and we even used the roof deck on the dock to take in a meteor shower! Of course we also need to mention the new friends we made, as our son was super excited that we got to “hang out” with a family of blue herons that live in the cove.
In all this was a wonderful week at an amazing property, and the hosts were in constant contact the entire time to ensure we enjoyed our stay and had everything we need. A truly exceptional vacation and we will certainly be back (pretty sure we are already booked for next summer!).
