Amazing view!

Watching the sunset from the screened porch was a beautiful experience. The beach was great for us and new sand was also brought in while we were there which proved to us that the owners really want the best experience for their guests. Highly recommend this property.

Overlook

They have a nice, fast pontoon. Rooms are good. Nice view of lake. Front Outside doesn’t have the most curb appeal but don’t let that scare you as it’s nice inside. Rent the boat for a day!

Vacation down the block

This was an amazing experience for my family. We were in between moves in Charlotte and needed a place to stay for the week. This house made us feel like we were on vacation. The view was beautiful. The screened in porch was a wonderful way to watch the sunset. It was very clean and the amenities were just what we needed. The host was amazingly wonderful, working with us logistically so that we could stay somewhere that would fit our needs. I am sure we will be planning vacations just down the block in the future.

Vacation in Lake Wylie

We had a great time a the property. We would suggest that owner include in description that there is a many stairs to climb up and down to get to beach/water. Some of our party were in their 60’s and it was difficult to access the lan and beach. A grab bar/handle to assist getting out of tub/shower would be grest also. Overall it was a relaxing and enjoyable vacation property

Awesome Lake Home!

This lake home was wonderful and comfortable! Had everything we needed, an absolutely beautiful view as well as nice neighbors and super friendly deer! Our family including our 2 dogs felt right at home from the start. Georgia was amazing to work with and extremely personable and accommodating- we also rented the pontoon and had a wonderful day on the lake riding and tubing! Highly recommend and would love to come back here again and again. If laidback, peace and quiet is what you are looking for you found it with this gem!!

Perfection!

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The view was breathtaking; pictures do not do this place justice. The vibe of the house was perfect, creating a welcoming atmosphere that felt like a true home away from home. We loved being able to bring our dog with us and having plenty of space to walk him around. Georgia was incredibly sweet and always quick to respond to any of our needs or questions, making the stay even more enjoyable! The location of the house was perfect. It provided a perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility, making it easy to get to nearby stores while still enjoying the peacefulness of the lake. I highly recommend this beautiful lake house and we can not wait to return!

Best Vacation Ever!

The views from the Overlook were awsome. The screen room was a wonderful place to relax with nice rocking chairs. The kitchen was fantastc, everthing you could need and plenty of room to prepare it. The beds were comfortable, a great sleeping experience. Their Pontoon was a lot of fun. But best of all was the host herself. Georgia was a wonderful, kind and congenial person who was very responsive and always pleasant. I would highly recommend staying at the Overlook. Campfires on the beach were a delight each evening. I'd give a 10 star rating if i could.

Exactly what my husband and I were looking for: A cozy traditional lake house for a serene get-a-away. Place was spotless, and the beds were super comfortable. Our nephew and his wife joined us for rwo nights with their 6 month old and all three had the best night’s sleep in 6 months! Loved the knotty pine cabinets and paneling. Location was very quiet, yet short drives to grocery, restaurants etc. Host was super responsive and delightful.
Traditional knotty pine cabinetry brought back warm memories of my child at my family’s summer cottage!
Spectacular sunsets every night

Great property with awesome beach and lake access. House was very clean and warm, kids loved it and felt right at home. Only downside was the proximity to the airport, lots of planes flying overhead. Great place though overall for a family vacation!
