Everything about this property is outstanding! Steve and Rosie go above and beyond to make sure everything goes well during your stay. Lake Toxaway is definitely a beautiful place to enjoy! We will definitely be back again in the future!
The house was very pleasing. The views from the porches were beautiful. We cooked most of the time and the kitchen was well equipped and grill worked great. It was extremely clean. Beds were very comfortable. It was definitely a bonus to have the boat available. Weather was fantastic!!
Five years between visits is too long! We stayed at Shady Rest in 07/18 and again recently. The home is very well maintained and there were many updates from our last visit. With six adults, a 10 yo and a 13 yo, there was plenty of room to spread out. The home includes all the creature comforts, including Wifi and new streaming tv's, a well-stocked kitchen, and a deck boat. Yes, a boat! Water-skiing and tubing were a part of our daily activities, as well as cruising the shoreline and enjoying the charm of Lake Toxaway. Steve and Rosie are terrific hosts and wonderful at responding to any inquiries/issues immediately. It is our sincere desire to get back there as often as we are able! Patty and Ron H.
This was our 5th year in a row. Excellent property with great views. Convenience of a boat to enjoy the entire lake is a real bonus. We’ll be back. The hosts are the best.
This is our second time staying at Steve and Rosie’s! We had a great week despite the rainy weather. You cannot beat the location on this beautiful lake! The layout of the house works well for our family. The kitchen is well stocked. We enjoyed sunrise and afternoon cocktails from the decks. The kids had a blast in the lake. Didn’t let the rain and fog stop them at all! I read a couple books outside on the deck and had a regular hummingbird visitor. Steve and Rosie were very accessible when we needed them as we lost power in one of the storms and a couple of other questions arise. We got to enjoy a couple of restaurants, wineries and breweries in the area this year. All were great experiences. All in all, we had another relaxing vacation at one of our favorite places! Thanks so much :). We will be back!
Lake Toxaway is absolutely beautiful. The house is located close to amazing hiking trails and water falls. Our three boys ages 7,9 and 10 had a blast in the boat fishing and tubing! We made lasting memories. The Shades were very good at communicating. We truly enjoyed our stay!!
The home was equipped with everything we needed the location was excellent. Having access to the boat was a plus. Everyone enjoyed their holiday week. We may return in the summer
Everything we expected
Peaceful time of year to enjoy the lake, catch a few fish and hike!
We travel a lot and I will say that Steve and Rosie are Premier Hosts. They were always able to respond to every need of ours. There was so much rain that the Lake Toxaway Association had to close the lake. The status changed by the hour, so we needed to know when we could go out, how fast, etc. They were always available to help. Very kind and efficient hosts with true gifts of hospitality. The house was super clean and comfortable. Having the boat and kayaks, plus canoe, were top reasons we would be back. The location on the lake was perfect as well as the views from each bedroom and living areas. Two living areas make this nice for two families. Three bedrooms, two full baths downstairs with living area and main bedroom, one bath on the main floor with the kitchen and living areas. Lots of living space on two large decks. Like others have said, the kitchen is fully equipped. They have a Keurig, regular coffee maker and espresso maker. I would recommend bringing boat towels and soccer folding type chairs to sit out on the boat deck on the water. The house has a grill, very nice fire pit, plenty of bath towels, washer dryer, etc. We are grateful for our time at Shady Rest and hope to be back soon.
Great place to escape summer heat and relax.
What a gorgeous lake! And the house was in an ideal spot, especially for watching the sunrise. We ate every dinner and spent most of our time awake and not on the water, on the upper deck. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The boat was great for pulling the kids around in the tube. The owners were very responsive to my questions. All in all, it was a wonderful week!
Hard that beat the price for the house plus the boat on a great location of the lake. The boat is older and as advertised, but it works well enough. Fishing from the dock was excellent.
The house is well equipped and has very good views from all bedrooms and living areas. The back porch overlooking the lake is a popular spot. Very private street. Drive through porte cochere fits two vehicles and is convenient to the front door. The use of the boat is a bonus. So is the dock and boardwalk. There is a nice firepit too. We’ll be back.
First impressions: Shady Rest is a very clean, cozy and comfortable cabin. All of which are very important when you are investing in a family vacation. The neighborhood itself is also very very nice. The home had everything in it ready for use that we needed. The kitchen is small; a little tight for even two people to be working together. But I'm probably one of the few people who like to cook on vacation and I just had to keep shooing the rest of the family out of my space... And besides, you don't choose a vacation home for the kitchen... :) The furniture was very comfortable and modern. The cabin has an upstairs and downstairs family room with large screen TV's so we had no trouble with places to relax in between more active activities. The master bedroom is spacious and the bed is one of the most comfortable that I've slept in. It doesn't have it's own private bathroom but that wasn't a problem. There were two full bathrooms downstairs which was very nice. Both floors had their own deck facing the lake. We really enjoyed waking up in the morning, brewing a cup of coffee, and sitting out on the deck to watch the sun come up over the lake. Since it is Summer in NC we also were treated to cocktails on the deck in the late afternoon where we were able to watch the relaxing rain from the daily thunderstorms that rolled through the area. Perhaps the one negative, easily overcome if prepared for it, is that the ice maker in the freezer couldn't keep up with our demand for ice. We learned this quickly and would pick up a bag each time we went to the grocery store to augment what the ice maker could make for us. The lake itself is beautiful. Many lakes in NC have very murky water. Not Lake Toxaway! You can see the bottom even when it is 5 or 6 feet deep. Very clear and clean water. Oh yes, plenty of parking.
Love this cabin!!
