Our cabin, Overlook, rests on the main channel of Lake Wylie, yet is tucked inside a sheltered bay. It is the closest proximity to Charlotte of any lake in NC. In 20 minutes you can be downtown and 15 minutes to the airport! There are fabulous restaurants, shopping and other amenities within a 10 minute drive. We have a fully stocked kitchen with all the cookware wine glasses etc that you will need for your stay. The 180 degree lake view oriented due west provides some exquisitely dramatic sunsets. You can relax and unwind while you watch amazing scenery from the patio, the covered porch, hammock or dock.

The house has tongue and grove wood paneling throughout, even on the ceilings of the den and dining room. It has recently been updated, but the original lake cabin feel has been kept. It has the feel of privacy and seclusion.

You will love the beach! It is perfect for the kids to run around and play in the sand while you watch from the patio or dock. The bay offers a safe swimming environment, being indented into the shoreline, feel comfortable and confident that your loved ones are safe from boat traffic. You will have access to a canoe, kayak and stand up paddle board to launch out on an adventure from the beach.

Upon entering, you will find the cabin to be clean and well kept. We take great pride in this! You will have clean sheets, clean kitchen, and house so you won't need to worry about bringing anything but yourself!

    The Overlook is a wonderful hideaway and perfect for sister’s weekend. The highlight perhaps was the hostess’s accommodating my requests. She was so helpful. Thanks for a great stay, Georgia!

    Exactly what my husband and I were looking for: A cozy traditional lake house for a serene get-a-away. Place was spotless, and the beds were super comfortable. Our nephew and his wife joined us for rwo nights with their 6 month old and all three had the best night’s sleep in 6 months! Loved the knotty pine cabinets and paneling. Location was very quiet, yet short drives to grocery, restaurants etc. Host was super responsive and delightful.

    Overall a positive visit! Georgia, the property manager, was helpful, easy to communicate with and allowed us to check in early. The rental was charming and served our purposes. Sleeping 8 feels ambitious- we were 4 people and that felt more appropriate. The property could have been a little more clean and upkeep could have been improved (beware of the soft/disconnected boards on the steps to the lake!) but overall we enjoyed it. Not much to do immediately around the rental (eg no restaurants), but drive 20 minutes and there’s lots. LOVED how close/convenient it was to the airport

    This was an amazing experience for my family. We were in between moves in Charlotte and needed a place to stay for the week. This house made us feel like we were on vacation. The view was beautiful. The screened in porch was a wonderful way to watch the sunset. It was very clean and the amenities were just what we needed. The host was amazingly wonderful, working with us logistically so that we could stay somewhere that would fit our needs. I am sure we will be planning vacations just down the block in the future.

    We had a great time a the property. We would suggest that owner include in description that there is a many stairs to climb up and down to get to beach/water. Some of our party were in their 60’s and it was difficult to access the lan and beach. A grab bar/handle to assist getting out of tub/shower would be grest also. Overall it was a relaxing and enjoyable vacation property

    They have a nice, fast pontoon. Rooms are good. Nice view of lake. Front Outside doesn’t have the most curb appeal but don’t let that scare you as it’s nice inside. Rent the boat for a day!

    Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The view was breathtaking; pictures do not do this place justice. The vibe of the house was perfect, creating a welcoming atmosphere that felt like a true home away from home. We loved being able to bring our dog with us and having plenty of space to walk him around. Georgia was incredibly sweet and always quick to respond to any of our needs or questions, making the stay even more enjoyable! The location of the house was perfect. It provided a perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility, making it easy to get to nearby stores while still enjoying the peacefulness of the lake. I highly recommend this beautiful lake house and we can not wait to return!

    Cute little cozy cabin. A little rough around the edges, but nice just the same. If you’re looking for quiet- the rental neighbors are kind of in your space as well- so you may or may not have a relaxing time depending on who is renting next to you at the time

    Watching the sunset from the screened porch was a beautiful experience. The beach was great for us and new sand was also brought in while we were there which proved to us that the owners really want the best experience for their guests. Highly recommend this property.
