THE COMMUNITY
Our lake community has several lakes available for canoeing, fishing and just floating the day away. It is an active community with playgrounds, a fitness trail, tennis courts, basketball goals, beach area and volleyball, and a golf course just outside our gates. (Note: Community pool is not available to guests and guests may not bring their own motorboats. Feel free to bring your kayak or paddle board.) Our gated community has 24-hour security and only authorized guests are permitted access (gate passes are issued on a weekly basis). Please note, during the winter months, the lake may be purposely lowered a few feet to allow residents to perform maintenance on their docks, but it is still fun to kayak or canoe on.

Our well loved lakehouse is the perfect place to unwind and relax with family, including your fur family (pets allowed upon approval only). Enjoy the lake, cookout, play games. Locally owned restaurants and grocers offer delivery and curbside pickup.

The state capital of Raleigh offers museums, shopping, restaurants and the RDU airport just an hour's drive away.

You may also see insects, bugs, bats, snakes, ants, bees, wasps, spiders, mice, raccoon, fish, and other creatures that call the woods and lake their home. Please take care when hiking. For the safety of your pet and our wildlife, dogs must be on a leash and supervised when outside. Refunds or discounts will not be issued due to creature sightings or bug bites while exploring the surroundings. We do have quarterly pest control.

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront home. While the house is spacious enough to comfortably fit a whole family, it was just the two of us and our dog—and we had more than enough room to relax and unwind. The setting is peaceful and stunning, with the lake just steps from the house. I especially enjoyed starting each morning with a cup of coffee on the dock, soaking in the serene view, and then taking a walk around the lake in the afternoon.There were plenty of activities to enjoy—kayaking, canoeing, and even a paddle boat! The house was equipped with everything we needed and more: plenty of towels, dishes, cookware, and even a gas stove. Although we didn’t use the outdoor grill, it was a nice option to have. I actually enjoyed the chance to cook indoors during our vacation, and the kitchen had everything I could possibly need.Check-in was a breeze. The owners provided detailed instructions ahead of time, so when we arrived at the security gate, all we had to do was show our IDs and scan a barcode. The community was friendly and welcoming. During our stay, they hosted a vendor market on Friday, which was a fun surprise!The hosts were incredibly responsive—any questions we had were answered within minutes. You can tell they truly care about making guests feel comfortable and at home. One of the best parts for us was that our dog was welcome too. It meant so much to be able to include her in our getaway.Overall, it was a peaceful, relaxing vac

    We had a wonderful stay at this lake house! Everything was clean and there were all the amenities needed and more! Our hosts were very attentive and easily contacted if needed. The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed fishing from the dock and just relaxing and enjoying the view. The community was quiet and welcoming as well! Highly recommend! We look forward to another stay!

    We enjoyed relaxing on the dock, paddleboarding, and kayaking during the day. After dinner the kitchen table was a great place to play games. We all loved the house and location.

    We enjoyed our recent stay at the Crowe's Nest. The home was spacious and had everything you could possibly need. My wife and I brought our two dogs and found the trail along the lake to be the perfect place to walk the dogs each day. The lake was was very quiet, especially during the week and made it peaceful to sit on the dog. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

    The house was great for family coming in for an event at Fort Bragg. On the lake with a great sunset view. The house was beautiful and perfect for gathering our family for the event. Joy (host) was great to work with. We would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

    This house had plenty of space for our family to spend time together and disconnect from the outside world. The view is wonderful! The host provided the supplies for smores and there were plenty of board games for entertainment. We were there for the Spartan race but would love to come back sometime to enjoy the kayaks on the lake!
