Our grown family of 4 stayed here for the Christmas week, and what a magical stay! I grew up in this area and this was the perfect location for us to stay, rest, and visit our family. The house and porches were perfect, and the view was amazing. I hope we can make this our go-to place to stay. Our host was responsive and thoughtful. This is the BEST place!

House was incredible and exactly as described. Host was a great communicator after we had a few questions on how to reset stuff due to an incredible lightning storm that caused power surges. The house sits in a great Cove with deep water and a very functional boat dock that we fully utilized. We plan to book again on our next trip to the lake. We would recommend this house and host to anyone.

Wonderful Weekend Stay

We traveled to spend the weekend and attend our son’s Senior Day lacrosse game at a nearby university. This property was just as advertised and gave a place to briefly host some of our son’s teammates and. parents after the game before heading out to a celebration at nearby Uwharrie Brewing Company. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay again.
