Amazing Place/ Amazing Hosts

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The house is amazing the view is amazing the hosts Ben and Amy were fantastic and always making sure everything was perfect. The house is laid out so thoughtful even the 4 teenage kids hung with us when they were not in the adjacent activity room (maybe some of the adults hung there too), the down stairs bar rec area is a welcome relief and so much better than being stuck in a hotel. I would 1000% recommend this place. Even though we went when they were hit with record cold and snow/ice, but we still had fun. I could only imagine how perfect it would be int he summer.

What a view on a nice quite cove

Highly recommend this charming A-Frame on the lake. Its in a perfect location very close to any amenity that you would need, while making you feel like you are on a private lake. The outdoor areas of this home are abundant and excellent with lots of water front. The house is on a very quite cove with very little boat traffic, especially during the week. They have a lot of water toys for all ages to have fun in the water. WiFi works excellent with connectivity throughout the house without any issues. We throughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back.

Amazing Lake House!!

Our family stayed at the Haven A Frame house in Lake Wylie over the Labor Day weekend and LOVED it!! It was perfect for all of us ages 14-75. We brought our boat and tied up on their dock. Amenities were perfect. Kitchen was beautiful, everything was upgraded. We would love to stay here again. Hosts were VERY responsive also. Just a wonderful experience for all of us, would wholeheartedly recommend.

Very clean and nice home in a very private location on Lake. Owners were very nice and responsive. We rented a pontoon and they allowed us to use their water toys. Large porch, covered grill area, and basement area with a bar. 10 minute boat ride to Papa Doc’s. We’ll be back.

Amazing Place

My wife and I were visiting from Canada for a procedure on my back and some follow up recovery time. We couldn’t have found a better place. It is the perfect lake side getaway with all the close conveniences of being right in town. The hosts were awesome and we highly recommend this place to anyone coming for a visit to Charlotte but wanting a lake front retreat type setting. Already looking forward to returning soon!

The Coziest Lake House!

We have been to Lake Wylie many times since the drive from our Hilton HeadIsland/Bluffton home is easy. This time, we went up to celebrate Father’s Day weekend and my wife’s birthday. This A-frame lake house is an all star! It is very charming and cozy; Surprisingly spacious too. The downstairs has a family/game room and 2nd fireplace. Which was a nice surprise. We loved every minute of our stay in this adorable home. We stayed in the upstairs bedroom that has a king bed and half bath. The house was very clean and welcoming. The views are excellent and the grounds of this home are really beautiful and well kept. The home is quite lovely and and our teenagers didn’t want to leave (neither did we). Great house on the lake!!

A true gem on Lake Wylie

We had the best time at this house. The property was clean and had everything we needed. We rented a boat and had it delivered to the house. It was a very easy cruise out of the cove to the main water. Lots of restaurants close by to get to by car or boat. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. We will definitely be back!
