Cozy mountain home on Private Lake

Escape to a peaceful lakefront cottage on beautiful Lake Sheila, tucked away in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Surrounded by natural beauty and offering direct access to the water, this inviting retreat is an ideal place to slow down, unplug, and spend meaningful time with family and friends.

Start each morning with a cup of coffee on the porch as the sun rises over the lake. During the day, relax beside the water, enjoy the spacious yard, or step outside to the private dock just beyond the back door. As evening approaches, settle back on the porch and take in the quiet surroundings and scenic lake views.

This property is especially well suited for guests looking to escape the constant pull of screens, notifications, and busy schedules. We have wifi, but please know the internet service in this mountain setting is limited and may not support reliable streaming or video calls.

When you’re ready to explore, downtown Saluda is just a short drive away. Spend the day browsing its charming shops, enjoying local restaurants, or discovering the area’s small-town character. The cottage also provides a convenient home base for visiting Flat Rock, Hendersonville, Brevard, Greenville, and Asheville, each offering its own mix of dining, shopping, arts, and mountain experiences.

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a getaway with friends, or a quiet weekend away, this lake cottage offers a beautiful setting for rest, connection, and lasting memories.

Great host and home directly Lake Sheila offering an optimal view of the lake. This was our second stay at this home as the view of the lake from the patio, living room, and backyard/dock is amazing. The home is most comfortable and warm in the winter. The host is most helpful and responsive. I hope to return again next year.

Great experience-

This was such a great property I wish I could keep it a secret. The beds are comfortable and the screened porch is perfect for all times of the day. The lake was clear and nice to float on. We were close to several good restaurants. We hope to rent again!

Fabulous - wish we could have stayed longer!

We throughly enjoyed our time at this property. The cleanliness superb, the beds were great and chairs down at the dock had us enjoying the late afternoons while our group kayaked, fished, swam or just relaxed as we chatted with the fabulous lake friends we made. We learned alot about what to see from those evening on the water from the locals. We look forward to coming back and appreciate all the owners have done to make it such a fabulous vacation spot.

Unit was nice. Had a great view of the lake from the enclosed back porch. Beds were comfortable and the two bathrooms were adequate. As noted roads in the area were very windy but scenic. Overall definitely would recommend.

Beautiful spot on Lake Sheila

Very comfortable cabin with the best views of the lake. The screened in porch was the amazing for morning yoga and just relaxing any time of day. We enjoyed using the boats to paddle across the lake to visit friends. The cabin had everything we needed and the owner was easy to communicate with and prompt to reply to our questions. The location is great, an easy, pretty drive to Saluda for shopping and dining if you want to leave the lake!

Loved the Lake

We enjoyed the king beds, the ability to bring our dog, and the proximity to a variety of places to sightsee. The lake was fascinating to view the changes over the course of our stay. Walking around the lake was a daily activity. Our only disappointment was the s-l-o-w internet. We are looking forward a return visit next fall!

Perfect, peaceful restful getaway!

This property gave us the best of both worlds offering peaceful lake front living and screen porch views with kayaks on site for a bit of fun, while being convenient for day trips to other areas for more events like dining, shopping, ziplining and snowboarding, gem mining, dining out and so much more. We did both with some daytime excursions and evening family games on site. We enjoyed every minute at the house with great spaces to be together or to have privacy. The cabin is well appointed and the owners very responsive. Thank you from my family to yours!
