About this cottage rental

Sunset Bay is a wonderfully cozy lakefront cottage situated on a quiet cove on High Rock Lake, located less than an hour from Charlotte, Greensboro, and Winston Salem. Located on Abbotts Creek, you'll have access to High Rock Marina year round. This is the perfect retreat for a romantic getaway, a family trip, and quite possibly the best fishing in NC. With an open layout, great sunsets, huge kitchen, and several outdoor entertaining spaces, you'll have a hard time leaving!

Sunset Bay Cottage has 1,232 square feet of charming living space with two private bedrooms and two full baths recently built in December 2022. You'll love the expansive views you'll get from the living room and kitchen! Outside, there is a spacious screened-in porch for entertaining, and a private dock to park your boat, or go fishing, swimming, or kayaking.

Living Room: features a large, comfortable sectional couch with enough room to seat 6. It's a great spot to lounge in front of the 65" TV. A Roku stick will give you access to your subscription apps like Netflix, YouTubeTV, and Hulu.

Master Bedroom: relax in our beautiful Pottery Barn king size bed with memory foam mattress. There's a spacious closet and a master bath with a walk-in shower and a granite vanity. There is also a 50" TV on the wall with a Roku stick to stream the apps you subscribe to.

2nd Bedroom: this room has a queen bed with a memory foam mattress and a twin bunk bed. This room includes a small nightstand, dresser, and large closet.

Guest Bathroom: acting as a guest bath in the main living area, this spacious bathroom contains a bathtub/shower, toilet, and large granite vanity.

Kitchen: the kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. You will be on your own for groceries, but it is equipped with many spices, condiments, and olive oil to get you started. We come to the cottage about once a month and do our best to keep things stocked. If you use the last of something and feel inspired to replace it for the next guest, it is greatly appreciated. There is a Keurig coffee machine (you will need to provide your own KCups) and all the pots, pans, and utensils you need to prepare a nice meal are here for your use. There is also a large kitchen peninsula with bar seating for 4.

Dining Room: a large wooden farmhouse table with tall chairs is located here. There is enough seating for 6 people for a memorable family meal.

Outside: immediately outside of the back door leading out of the living room, you will step onto the screened-in porch with a nice lounge area with an outdoor couch, chair, rocker, and end tables. On the other side, you will find the grilling area and a space to sunbathe. The gently sloping backyard includes a Solo Stove Yukon firepit. Below that, you will find the dock where you can fish, swim, park your boat, or use 2 of the provided kayaks.
***Please note, beach towels are not provided. Please bring your own and do not use bath towels for use after enjoying the lake.***

Garbage: Trash pickup is on Tuesdays. If you are staying or checking out on a Monday, please roll the trash bin out to the street for Tuesday pickup and pull back to the parking pad once they've arrived.

Beautiful property, very clean, great host communication. Would definitely come back
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
For a quick lake getaway, this was a a reasonable, clean and well stocked option. The owner was very responsive. The houses are close together, so you are aware of neighbors and other guests, but we found the trip peaceful. There is a pretty view of the lake from the dock, with quite a bit of bird watching with herons, egrets and ducks. The kayaks were definitely a bonus. The kitchen is well stocked, and the house was clean and comfortable.

The house has a nice screened porch that faces west for the sunsets. Nice showers and nice kitchen. Large living area makes the house feel larger than it is with plenty of room. Everything we needed to cook was provided. The host was responsive and helpful when we had questions. It was nice to be waterfront in Abbott’s Creek where we could dock the boat at the floating dock and come and go fishing as much as we wanted. We live on Gaston where the water level is kept in certain parameters. But it was nice that Highpoint Lake was 3 feet below full. It allowed us to motor under the Hwy 8 bridge and tour the whole lake. We caught a few fish and had fun.

The place is very nice and looks like the photos. However, it would have been nice if they had used a broom or something to sweep away the many, many cobwebs from INSIDE the screened porch. Also, all of the notes posted inside the house with the "rules" that included threats about deposit loss was very unwelcoming. I suggest adding the rules to the information book instead of posting them all over the house. Overall we had a good weekend.
