Serene Getaway with Hot Tub, Sauna, Firepit, Kayaks, Pontoon & Jet Ski Rentals!

10/10 Excellent

"Helena did a great job with communication. The house was immaculate! We had a great visit. Thank you so much."

Luxury Lake House, Pool, Hot tub, Dock, Beach, Game room, Boat Rental available

10/10 Excellent

"Great property. Rick was great at communicating. Amazing experience."

Waterfront Cottage, Fiery Sunsets

10/10 Excellent

"My friend and I had a girls weekend at the Trout Pond in late September and it was exactly what the doctor prescribed. We kayaked and paddleboarded, cooked at-home meals and ate on the dock, and generally just relaxed! This small cove has a nice view of Lake Wiley activity, and nice calm and safe waters to paddle around in. The large dock is perfect for lounging and parking large boats, and there is a small area from which kayaks etc can be put in as well. As a plus, we got a great workout going up and down the steps between the house and dock! The cottage was very clean and kitchen was extremely well stocked with utensils, pots, pans, etc, and water. The furniture (couch, easy chair, beds) was comfortable and we enjoyed the light and view from the large windows in the living room.We experienced a rare NC weekend with perfect weather but I imagine this would be a great place to jump in the lake for hot summer days, as there's also an outdoor shower. Also, the neighbor's dog was adorable, and check-in and check-out process was very easy."

Sprawling Lakefront Home on Peninsula, Beach, Private Dock, Kayaks-Paddle boards

10/10 Excellent

"We spent almost a week here with our adult children and our dog. We LOVED it! It was like being at a good friend’s house - well stocked, casual, and not at all fussy. Lots of games and snacks, dishes and towels, all the things. My husband brought his bass boat and fished every day! He was able to tie it to the floating dock for easy access. River Hills is a beautiful community - friendly, safe. We will most certainly be back!"

Beautiful Escape, Mins from Carowinds & Lake Wylie

Perfect Winter Lake Getaway Villa on Lake Wylie - Family Friendly + Lovers Dream

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay exceeded our expectations in most categories except one.Whoever wrote the narrative description for the property could have done better as the accommodations for up to 8 were less than adequate. Please provide more comfortable bedding for 8 or even 7 if you advertise so. Sleeping is high on everyone's list of priorities and my guests deserve nothing less than a good night's sleep. Everything else was great, truly great."

8/10 Good

"The house was in excellent condition. The hot tub was in excellent condition, along with the grill and kayaks."
