All the charm of a lake home in the mountains. Clean and cozy. Beautiful views and nature abounds. Tons of amenities. The lake community is only 10 minutes to Waynesville with restaurants and shopping. The lake is also close to the BR parkway if you enjoy hiking and sightseeing.

Perfect Lake Getaway!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful lake house! The location is unbeatable – right on the water, with a great view from sunrise to sunset. The house itself was clean, well equipped and just what we needed for a relaxing stay! The hosts were responsive and always helpful. This property truly feels like a home away from home. We can't wait to come back!
