About this property

THIS HOUSE HAS HAD SOME UPDATES (IE: MITSUBISHI SPLITS ACS IN ALL ROOMS AND NEW SLIDING GLASS DOORS UP AND DOWN),BUT SOME PHOTOS ARE OLD. COME ON IN, TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND PULL UP A SEAT ON THE DECK OVER-LOOKING THE MOST SERENE LAKE IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA (MY OPINION) AND SIP YOUR FAVORITE BEVERAGE!! NO POLYESTER IN THESE SHEETS! JUST BRING YOUR TOOTHBRUSH AND A CHANGE OF CLOTHES AND YOU ARE ALL SET. FORGOT SHAMPOO? IT'S THERE. FORGOT YOUR RAZOR? IT'S THERE. FORGOT YOUR GOLF CLUBS? CAN'T HELP YOU, SORRY (someone stole mine)!

GREAT FOR GUYS GOLF TRIP OR LADIES GETAWAY FROM IT ALL!

GOLF!!!!!! THREE BEAUTIFUL GOLF COURSES WITHIN 3-5 MINUTES OF THE HOUSE. WATERFALLS, TENNIS, HIKING, TUBING, BIKING AND MORE. ONE STATE PARK AND ONE NATIONAL FOREST WITHIN 20 MINUTES OF THE HOUSE!

THIS HOME IS 15 MINUTES FROM QUAINT DOWNTOWN HENDERSONVILLE AND BREVARD (MUSIC CENTER). TWENTY MILES FROM ASHEVILLE, ONE HOUR FROM GREENVILLE AND ONE FROM HIGHLANDS.

REMEMBER, THIS IS A LAKE HOUSE, NOT THE BILTMORE. IF YOU WANT MARBLE, GRANITE, AND VENETIAN PLASTER, YOU ARE IN THE WRONG NECK OF THE WOODS, LITERALLY!

Wonderful home

My wife and I decided to take our young children to the mountains for an impromptu vacation. We were pleasantly surprised by the home and the beautiful lake upon arrival. This home is extremely well stocked and was very clean. It is in a great location to all of the conveniences you may need but also feels somewhat secluded for that peace of mind. As for the host…Karen is one of the nicest and helpful hosts you could possibly ask for. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking.

Perfect!

We had an amazing stay at this property. It was so relaxing, yet the lake offered our teen boys things to do…fishing, kayaking, swimming. It was hard to leave! You won’t be disappointed staying here-book the trip!!!

Just as described- great stay!

Everything was as described with excellent communication from the owner. While the lake didn't seem to be well-stocked for fishing, we still had a fantastic time swimming and kayaking, and we managed to catch a couple of fish. There are plenty of nearby activities to keep teenagers entertained. Highly recommend!

Great spot!

We loved the location! It rained a lot of the time we were in town and this property gave us a beautiful vantage point to slow down and enjoy the rainforest we were in. Would definitely stay here again! The lake was great, lovely patios, and very comfortable beds!

Wonderful getaway!

This is the cutest little cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very close to Hendersonville and lots of hiking/outdoor options. The kayaks, fire pit, and porch were lovely amenities. The cottage is well appointed and decorated beautifully! Thank you for a fabulous stay!

Tranquil Comfort

Karen is SUPER responsive and kind! The house is spacious with three full beds and three baths, but it could sleep another three on comfy sofas if needed. The kitchen and baths had all one could want, and the view of the lake is magnificent. Because the property is a private lakefront, daily walks were lovely. Convenient to Asheville and Sierra Nevada.

So much fun!

We had so much fun staying here! The house was clean and comfortable, but the outside is where we spent most of our time. The kids had so much fun swimming, fishing and kayaking that they didn't want to leave the house all weekend. The deck has a great view and it was a very quiet and peaceful. We can't wait to go back.

Long weekend getaway

We were very happy with this listing - the floor plan, location, amenities, and correspondence with owner. We took our grandchildren on a long weekend to visit Mt Pisgah and the surrounding area. They enjoyed kayaking and swimming in the lake and using the tennis courts. Will be first on our list if we head back to that area.

Very relaxing stay

House was stocked very well, comfortable beds, and beautiful location. Very nice lake house. I really appreciated all the little games throughout the home that entertained my 6 year old. The porch was amazing although we didn’t get to enjoy due to the rainy weather, that was a bummer, but would recommend this location if traveling to Hendersonville! Karen was responsive and kind.

Quiet and peaceful

My family and I enjoyed our stay greatly! Everything thing was great clean and comfy beds and about a 20-30 minute drive to the surrounding towns. We did some fishing and kayaking around the pond and had some down time at the house. Great communication. Had pretty much all necessities there already. Highly recommend this place.

spacious home, well equipped for a larger group, we had 6 in our group. The private lake was clean and the kids loved swimming off the private dock. Older home with some cute upgrades. View from the very large deck were amazing. Gas grill and fire pit, this location has it all. Looking forward to coming again. Thanks!

Fabulous Stay!

This place is much improved over the photos shown! There were 4 of us and there was plenty of room for more. Everything we needed was available and the location was perfect for what we wanted to do. Near to little day trips and very comfortable for staying put. Would've loved it if the fireplace was working when we arrived as it was quite chilly the first night but that was a minor blip. We would stay there again for sure! Communication with the owner was spot-on.
