Experience the unmatched charm of this secluded lakefront escape, where a stately magnolia tree shades the private dock. Just a short 5-minute drive to the interstate and under 45 minutes to the vibrant city of Asheville, this expansive home comfortably welcomes your whole family or group. With a nearly level yard that gently meets the peaceful shoreline, it’s the perfect backdrop for every generation to relax, gather, and make lasting memories together.

The main level blends comfort and upscale charm, anchored by a spacious primary suite with a king bed and private en suite bath for ultimate relaxation. Just off the hallway, a second bedroom offers a queen bed with freshly provided linens (please note: towels are not provided). The open concept kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together, creating a warm and welcoming space perfect for gathering with family and friends.

Upstairs, the expansive loft is designed with fun and flexibility in mind, featuring two sets of bunk beds, two twin beds, and a trundle that sleeps two, plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Downstairs, the cozy den invites you to unwind with a fully stocked bar and seating for six. Enjoy Bluetooth connectivity for the receiver, a new stylus for the turntable, a pool table, generous seating, an additional bedroom with a full size bed, and a full bathroom for added convenience. We provide the linings, but you will need to bring your own towels.

Step outside and take in stunning lake views from the oversized back deck, offering both covered and open air seating for up to 10 guests. The lower level poured patio provides even more space to relax, surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds. Gather around the fire pit for memorable evenings, challenge friends to a game of cornhole, or head to the water to enjoy the canoe, paddleboard, floats, two person kayak, and two single kayaks. This lakefront retreat is designed for making unforgettable memories.

    This lake house was absolutely perfect for our family getaway. From the moment we walked through the door, we felt welcomed—as if we were being invited into a cherished family home rather than a rental property. You can immediately feel the warmth, love, and memories that have been made here over the years.The location is ideal, situated in a peaceful cove that was perfect for fishing and enjoying the lake. The home was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable weekend, making it easy to settle in and focus on spending quality time together.Whether you’re looking to fish, unwind by the water, or simply enjoy a family retreat, this property delivers. We made wonderful memories here and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!

    The home offers everything. Nicely kept and a exceptionally well stocked kitchen. Beautiful landscaping ,easy walk to the dock and swimming. Fishing seems to be the challenge. Our host Marianne was exception. Any question was immediately answered with much help.Will be renting again next year.

    There was construction going on at both houses beside the property. The noise started at 6:30am until 7pm most days which severely impacted our peace and quiet. There are a lot of docks in the cove, some of them are very tallThe swimming and fishing were good. The pool table needs repair on the corners and new cues are needed and other inside games like darts need replacement. There should be a ramp built for easier access to the water with kayaks or canoes. The canoe needs repair or replacement and one of the kayaks needs replacement. The deck needs power washing due to the sap dripping down from the overhanging pine tree. The sap becomes extremely sticky during the heat of the day. The outdoor tablecloths should be replaced or power washed. The kitchen pantry was very well stocked as were the cooking pots, pans and utensils, etc. The coffee pot worked well. The bathrooms were good. We enjoyed the vast record and cd collections. The bar refrigerator freezes everything. We loved the old school decor and feel but the attention to these items would make the stay that much better.

    We were there during the off-season. The view out to the lake was nice. The house is older and in need of some continued updates. Some things had been updated recently, but others still needed considerable work. There was also an unpleasant smell in the house because it hadn't been used in a while. The house was clean, and the beds were fresh and comfortable.
