Returning 5 Years in a Row

We have been staying at Mom’s Cabin for at least a month at a time for 5 years now. The views looking out over Lake Wylie are simply beautiful. The sunsets are especially spectacular. When we have had any problems we have always received a quick response and remedy. We hope to have many more years at the lake house.

Great time by the lake

Myself, my husband, our daughter, son-in-law, and youngest son spent a week here at Mom's Cabin. The location was perfect. Close to stores and restaurants, but feels secluded and private. We saw the deer everyday, along with geese, ducks and a crane. The cabin was very spacious. It was well stocked. The place reminded us of our own family cabin. We all felt like kids again.

Girl’s 60th birthday trip

Great location with beautiful views. It was nice to have all the living space on one level. Just 4 steps to get in or out. Best part of the cabin is the great screened in porch overlooking the lake and cove. We only had a few minor issues. Some of the chairs on the porch were wonky and need to be thrown out. We found out the hard way they were broken. Then there were no directions for how to turn on the porch lights, but we got a fairly quick response and were able to use them on our second and third nights. Overall, a great weekend! I would definitely come back!

The perfect family getaway.

Mom's Cabin was the ideal getaway for me and my two boys. We wanted the feel of a cabin with all the necessary amenities. Great dock for fishing, swimming and relaxing. Next time I rent Mom's Cabin I will definitely rent a boat, the dock is very capable of this. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy a family weekend at your cabin. We will see you again. Danny D

Owner was friendly and responsive, property is well-appointed and the location is great. Proximity to Charlotte, NC and Rock Hill, SC makes this a great place to enjoy a lake vacation, but have all the conveniences of a larger city.

We came down from Ohio to see family that lives in Lake Wylie. My granddaughter had a wonderful time

We had a wonderful time swimming off the dock and fishing off the dock my granddaughter even road are small raft over to the small beach on the island near the property. This is the perfect location for a family vacation. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pots and pans.

February visit

Property was great and also enjoyed the surrounding area, especially the town of Belmont and Papa Doc’s restaurant. Spacious cabin, we especially liked the master bedroom with views and porch access. February was a little cool for the lake and the porch, but we really enjoyed the views from the porch.

About the host

Hosted by William Lawson

My brothers and I inherited Mom's Cabin from our parents in 2013. It is where we spent our summers growing up, and where we have many lasting memory's. We all have separate lives now, but hope there are other families that can create new memory's at this special place.

What makes this property unique

A large, wrap around, screened-in porch greets you when you first walk in. The views of the lake are fantastic. A short walk to the dock and relaxing plunge into Lake Wylie. Close to Charlotte, Fort Mill, and Rock Hill.
