About this property

Lake living in a relaxed family and pet-friendly home

  • If you’re looking for the perfect large gathering space, there is room for even the extended family here! Take a trip that is reminiscent of going to your grandparents’ log home or summer camp. Swim, swing, make S’mores, work puzzles, play board games, tennis, or basketball, kayak, bring your own boat for fishing or play or rent one locally. There is a boat ramp and a loading dock, but no overnight docking.

    Discount available for 7 day rental ($300+ total).

    PET/ALLERGY WARNING: Your well-behaved pets are welcome, but be aware there are cats and dogs that live here when you’re not visiting.

    Keeping in mind the many small families that make up a large family like ours or a friend group, each room is designed to accommodate two adults and at least one additional child or adult. Tent camping in the backyard could even provide protected adventure for some.

    A permanent ramp is located at the side entrance of the home, and a portable ramp for back entrances is available. Raised toilet seat with support handles is available. Please contact us with any questions.

    There are two security cameras/doorbells on the premises covering front and back yard areas/pool.

Nanacation

Annual family vacation. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out. A nice kitchen with a great assortment of equipment. We love to cook most of our meals on family vacations. We enjoyed the pool to work off all the kids energy while the adults sunned. This was our second year at this house and we love it!

Baseball getaway

We had 4 families that had kiddos playing in an All State Baseball tournament form NC. We wanted something that we could all enjoy together while. It being at the fields. Perfect place to hang out and let the kids hang. Even though it was freezing they all jumped in the pool. We loved the history and lived in feel art this home.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

This is a fantastic location with equally fantastic owners. We ranged in age from 7 month to 59 years with a total of 18 people and we were all comfortable. With the pool, tennis courts, and playground, fun was had by all. The owners were so responsive and provided everything we needed. With the house layout, it was easy to gather as a group or find a quiet corner. I could not recommend this site more

Family Vacation 2024

We had the best time at this beautiful house! There was plenty of space for our group to spread out or come together. The office worked great for a grand daughter’s online class and a daughter’s zoom meeting. We enjoy cooking on our vacations and this kitchen had everything we needed. The pool was especially great on the 90+ days. We found lots of things to do in the surrounding area. This house helped make a perfect vacation for our 4 generations.

Family Time Retreat

A great rustic log cabin for bringing family together! The room with the fireplace is like a private longue with piano. My nephew brought his guitar and we sung around the fire. Only complaint would be too many drop rugs which are tripping hazards for older people. We just rolled them up and put them out of the way where necessary.

THE PERFECT LAKE HOUSE!!!!!

We had a very large group get together for a lake vacation and we could not have asked for a better house. There was so much space for us all to gather and spend time together. The house was very clean. The owners provided us with so much (everything needed for cooking, so many towels and pool towels, etc.). Ron was very responsive, even at 5:30 in the morning when the entire neighborhood lost power for a brief time, he responded immediately and called the power company for us to figure out what was going on. The lake is right across the street for a boat launch. We rented a boat and had an amazing boat day! We will definitely be coming back soon.

Cozy Family Home

We chose this property primarily for the pool. Being our 2nd biannual Family Reunion, we wanted everyone to have fun in the sun with a Pool Party Cookout! That could have gone awry but thanks to the responsiveness and care of the Host, he came out first thing the next morning, after a messy storm left lots of debris in the pool, and cleaned it spotless! We stayed in the pool all day having a blast! The home accommodated our growing family of 20+ just fine with a few tweaks of sleeping arrangements. Blow up beds may be more comfortable than the pull out sofas metal and thin mattress, as a heads up. We could also tell cleaning wasn't as thorough as we'd hope in the bathrooms as one bathroom had sticky counters and the toilet seat had residue and the family room hadn't been swept of a couple dead bugs and quite a bit of cat hairs on the side tables and chairs. We knew there were pets here and we brought 2 small dogs ourselves so we didn't complain about that. It was just more obvious that some areas were less tended to than others for deep cleaning. Otherwise, it was already said of the family, they'd stay here again. The hosts have thought of EVERYTHING! For all ages of the family in every area of vacationing. And the sweet surprise of sliced cake loaf varieties that welcomed us on day one was so thoughtful! We appreciated the character of this home, all of the accommodations, especially the communication and actions of the hosts. The proximity of food/shopping is great
