Littleton, North Carolina
This is a great place for bass fishing, boating, jetsking, tubing, and etc.. It is located in a cove separate from the main lake by boat accessible 10 ft wide tunnel that has higher water temperatures (A pontoon can go through the tunnel).
This lake house is ideal for a family of eight, it has three bed rooms, a dining room, family room and a very big nice glass room facing the lake. The master bedroom has one queen bed, the second room has two bunk beds for four, and the third bedroom has one queen bed. The very big sun/glass room facing the lake and it is very ideal for relaxing and away from your work. The boathouse is very nice it has the swing bench, and chairs already to use. Life jackets and a canoe with paddles are available for free to use. The boathouse has both sun and covered decking. The tie up cleats are provided to easily secure your watercraft to the dock. The community boat ramp is 20 ft away from the boathouse and it is very convenient. The kitchen with all necessary tools are available for cooking. Food Lion, ABC, Subways and Ice Cream shop, MorningStar marina are a few miles away.

Rented this lakefront property from July 1 - July 5. Good: owner rented for less than a week at a reasonable price / Lake view / dock / kayaks & canoe / relatively flat lot / plenty of parking / propane in bottle for grill. Bad: front porch handrails rotted and loose / mouse droppings on counter, in cabinets, and on top of two beds / not very clean inside / outside grill / side deck not usable (rotted and mildewed) / wood walkway to lake had screws sticking out (pointed end) / ladder on dock needs blocking to make it easier to use / air duct in kitchen sticks up and will catch your foot / owner did not respond to text about mouse droppings. Overall - we have owned 2 lake properties so we understand bug issues when you aren't there full time. We are even understanding of rodent issues but have someone look after your property if you aren't there to check on it, especially if it hasn't been rented in a while and guests will be arriving. The place needs some serious love. And the dock ladder needs a block put behind it where it hinges. It is a full-on core workout to get out of the water because it pushes inward creating the wrong angle.
For the price, it met our needs. Interaction with the owner was good and the amenities were great. However, the place is in need of major updating and also regular maintenance. While I was there, I picked up lots of sticks throughout the property (that we also used for a bon fire one night), changed lightbulbs and tried to treat the place as if it were mine. There were some lights that just did not work. Not sure if there are electrical issues, or what (which also concerned me from a safety perspective). There are two bathrooms, one for the main bedroom and a shared bathroom. Both are in need of major updating and maintenance. The kids used the shared bathroom and the sliding door is a safety issue as it fell on one of them. Many things were labeled throughout the property to remind folks of the quantity of utensils, to put the knives back clean and dry or face a fee, etc. I get it, they want people to respect their property. We always do that anyway, but I'm sure others don't. Here's a run down of the pros and cons: Pros Had everything we needed Awesome boathouse Access to kayaks and canoes Grill, fire pit Screen porch Great location on a private cul-de-sac Friendly neighbors Check out time was good (11 AM) Cons Reminded me of my grandma's house Smelled weird (the smell came home with us... we had to wash our clothes multiple times) Beds were old and very uncomfortable Floors were spongy throughout the house Lots of bugs inside (millipedes, centipedes, etc.) Needs major updating Was dirty looking inside and outside (decks could use a power washing) Outdated furniture and not very clean Layout is odd Porch light/fan needs fixed Overall, it met our needs for the week and we had a good time.
This is a nice place to stay. It isn't luxury, but it has all the comforts of home for a reasonable rate.
Read some reviews that made us wonder what we might be in for, but so glad we rented anyway. Ok let's start with the only bad at all. Yes the bunk beds are only good for kids, but they are bunk beds what would you expect. Yes we did see a couple ants once or twice, but let's be real its a lake house.. what would you expect... Home is well furnished, kitchen is extremely well prepared. The backyard is absolutely amazing. Huge firepit with picnic table on the water, good size dock for enjoying the lake, swimming, fishing, making use of the canoe/kayaks, or just watching the sun come up while enjoying coffee. We will without a doubt be returning!! Do yourself a favor and check this one out.
The location fit us perfectly. Outside amenities were great. Inside was not clean. Most beds were comfortable. Plenty of room to spread out.
It was all fine except the lighting in the kitchen. It was very dimly lit and then one of the kitchen lights flickered and even went out so it was even darker in there.
Dock area is great, plenary of dock space and room for boat. House worked ok but is outdated. The bunk room is kid sized. Not for the all adults we brought. Overall a good stay house just needs some basic maintenance
Had a great stay at this property. Definitely would go back!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The property is much larger than the photos show, we had plenty of room and everything we need. We enjoyed getting to know the neighbors as well and spent most of our time on the dock and that the fire pit.
Enjoyed our stay at the lakeside house. The location was perfect and the size of the house was great, nice and spacious. It’s close to my family so they came up to visit. The house could use a couple of updates but that still doesn’t change the fact we had a great time
