Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina
Escape the noise, the traffic, and the stress of life. The Cottage is a perfect spot for a family or small group of friends. Events or gatherings (which includes anyone not staying at the Cottage) are not allowed. The lake is approximately half way between the northeast and Florida. Treat yourself to a lake holiday, a special place in this world where your entire being is released and a true sense of serenity and relaxation floods your thoughts. There is no place as special as Lake Waccamaw. Old timers claim this lake is the “largest natural lake from Maine to Florida”. Lake Waccamaw is located about 35 minutes off I-95 taking exit 13A east at Lumberton, NC, (US 74 4-lane all the way). We are 39 miles from Wilmington, 51 miles from Southport, and 65 miles from Myrtle Beach.
Listen for the sounds of wildlife. Look at a world of waterfowl (mallards, coots, wood ducks, teal, merganser, bufflehead, cormorants, herons, cranes, kingfishers.) Enjoy the beautiful sunrises. Watch an osprey gracefully swoop for his dinner and maybe spot an eagle. “Hear” the quiet. Enjoy a special peace in a special place.
Our lakefront house includes 3 bedrooms, 1 bath with stackable washer/dryer, modern kitchen with bar for lunch and a dining table for 4-6 people. You have pier privileges with decking both covered and open for sunbathing or night star-gazing. The shallow water is ideal for young children and we have a sandy beach for play-time. Should you come don't stay too long because you might get “bit” (you may fall in love with the lake and not want to ever leave.) allowed
We couldn’t have had a better time at THE COTTAGE! What brought us to the area was my husband’s RC Race at the Equestrian Center and his 50th Birthday! Bob and Gail are phenomenal host! Even though it was a foggy and rainy weekend, our stay was pleasant and we still enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of beautiful Lake Waccamaw. We even had the chance to Kayak for the very first time. You will not find a better couple to provide such wonderful accommodations. It was exceptionally clean. Linens and pillows were fabulous. That’s not the norm at other locations we have been. Kitchen was stocked with necessary supplies, if we needed something, they were quick to ensure we had what we needed. By request, Bob took the time to prepare the fire pit for us to return to and enjoy after the race and Gail provided marshmallows. Sadly it started rainy and we weren’t able to take advantage of it. I can’t say enough good things about this couple and our stay. If you want a nice peaceful and comfortable get away THIS is the place for you! We hope to return here in the future.
Wonderful
Very informative
This is like going to your favorite grandmother's lake house with all the warmth and charm included. The 1st evening we sat out on the lake beach with our feet in the water with the beautiful cypress trees draped in spanish moss providing our shade. The 2nd afternoon we hung out on the boat dock swimming and relaxing. The hosts were absolutely delightful and accommodating. They made sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this house and will stay here again.
We very much enjoyed our stay at this adorable cottage. It was perfect for our group of 4 adults, 1 child. The view was beautiful! We enjoyed the availability of the pier next door as well. Thank you for the hospitality! You made 2 old women who grew up on Lake Waccamaw very happy!
Had a great weekend. Enjoyed the peaceful water.
This house was the perfect location. Close to boat ramp and shopping. The beach area at the water was the perfect spot to relax. Host was very nice and was always available for questions.
This property was the perfect property for my friend and I and our children. Sitting right on Lake Waccamaw with a beach area was perfect for the kids to be able to play and the adults to be able to enjoy some relaxation. We will be back again next year. Gail and Bob are amazing hosts.
We had such a great time we are already planning our next trip down. It was our pleasure to meet such wonderful and warm people Gail and Bob are. House was clean and inviting and the lake was just woderful great place to unplug and enjoy nature and family. Thank you so much Gail and Bob
We so enjoy the lake and the beach area. Bob and Gail are such a nice couple and very helpful.
My husband and I wanted a quick getaway. We decided to reminisce by getting back to a lake to fish, bird watch, and rest - all things we used to do before the kids came along. Gail and Bob made the trip special and were very accommodating. We highly recommend this vacation spot.
We came here with the hope to get away from the normal daily grind, and we found it and then some. Our hosts were so friendly and accomodating it almost felt like we became a part of their family from the first interaction. Always willing to go above and beyond just being a host providing a place to stay. Helped us with docking our boat, provided the best way to get fuel when needed. I can't say enough good things about this property or the hosts themselves. 10 out of 10 recommend. We will 100% stay again when activities take us this way again.
We were looking for a place where we could kayak and enjoy the lake. We couldn’t be more pleased with our stay. Bob and Gail were very welcoming. The 3br/1ba home was more than enough room for our party of 4 adults. The home was very clean and was stocked with every kitchen device we needed for family meal prep. The enclosed back porch had table and plenty of chairs for us to dine outside to enjoy the weather. Lake side, there are plenty of lounge and lay back chairs for lazy afternoons enjoying the water just steps from the back porch. We enjoyed using the kayaks, fishing from the pier, and using the fire pit for s’mores. The neighborhood is quiet and very friendly. We will absolutely be going back to this special spot.
This spot is totally relaxing.
This is the second time we have stayed here. It was as nice as it was the 1st time. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. We will stay here again on our next trip. Thank you, Cathy & Jimmy
Perfect cottage on the lake! Gail and Bob are wonderful host
We really enjoyed our time at the house, and will definitely look to return sometime in the future.
We loved our 2-day stay even though the 2nd day was rainy. We came from lots of snow so it was great. Clean and cozy.
Remember or imagine a grandparent's lakefront cottage. Clean, homey and quiet with perfect waterfront location.
We loved our stay. The view of the lake couldn’t have been nicer. And our hosts, Gail & Bob were the nicest people. And so accommodating. We were only there for 2 days. Next time we’ll stay a little longer.
The cottage was immaculate and right on the lake. The owners sought us out to welcome us and were very attentive to our needs. They are delightful people. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Very peaceful and relaxing. Bob and Gail are so nice and helpful.
We had a great time would definitely stay there again.
A great home base for friends in town for a wedding. Really enjoyed swimming in the lake and had everything we needed. Gail was so responsive and helpful getting us booked and checked in. Thank you again!
This was a perfect location. The lake view was beautiful! It was nice to unwind after a busy day. We’ll definitely be back.
Wonderful
