    Living Room: features a large, comfortable sectional couch with enough room to seat 6. It's a great spot to lounge in front of the 65" TV. A Roku stick will give you access to apps like Netflix, SlingTV, and YouTubeTV.

    Master Bedroom: relax in our beautiful Pottery Barn king size bed with memory foam mattress. There's a spacious closet and a master bath with a walk-in shower and a marble vanity. There is also a 50" TV on the wall with a Roku stick to stream the apps you subscribe to.

    2nd Bedroom: this room has a queen bed with a memory foam mattress and a twin bunk bed. This room includes a small nightstand, dresser, and large closet.

    Guest Bathroom: acting as a guest bath in the main living area, this spacious bathroom contains a bathtub/shower, toilet, and large marble vanity.

    Kitchen: the kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. You will be on your own for groceries, but it is equipped with many spices, condiments, and olive oil to get you started. We come to the cottage about once a month and do our best to keep things stocked. If you use the last of something and feel inspired to replace it for the next guest, it is greatly appreciated. There is a Keurig coffee machine (you will need to provide your own KCups) and all the pots, pans, and utensils you need to prepare a nice meal are here for your use. There is also a large kitchen peninsula with bar seating for 4.

    Dining Room: a large wooden farmhouse table with tall chairs is located here. There is enough seating for 6 people for a memorable family meal.

    Outside: immediately outside of the back door leading out of the living room, you will step onto the screened-in porch with a nice lounge area with an outdoor couch, chair, rocker, and end tables. On the other side, you will find the grilling area and a space to sunbathe. The gently sloping backyard includes a Solo Stove Yukon firepit. Below that, you will find the dock where you can fish, swim, park your boat, or use 2 of the provided kayaks.
    ***Please note, beach towels are not provided. Please bring your own and do not use bath towels for use after enjoying the lake.***

    Garbage: Trash pickup is on Tuesdays. If you are staying or checking out on a Monday, please roll the trash bin out to the street for Tuesday pickup and pull back under the Quonset hut once they've arrived.

    Guests will have access to the entire main house, with the exception of one locked linen closet.

    - There are security cameras located on the exterior of the house pointed towards entrances, driveway and the dock. These cameras are actively recording at all times.
    - Maximum occupancy is 6 guests total. If the guest count provided is inaccurate, the host reserves the right to charge an additional $250 per person per day.
    - The property is strictly NO EVENTS unless explicitly given permission before your stay. Absolutely no bachelor or bachelorette parties.
    - Pets and service animals are not permitted on the property due to an allergy within our family.
    - Guests are not allowed to download paid videos/movies/sporting events, etc. through the SmartTVs. If a guest downloads something during the date/time they are at the home, the owner will send an invoice through the resolution center that will be required to be paid by the guest.

Beautiful lake front property

We really enjoyed our time at this property. Beautiful house on a quiet street with an equally beautiful view of the lake. House was very clean and well appointed with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. My family really enjoyed fishing off the private dock. Would definitely recommend this property!

Great property

We stayed 3 nights at the property for a long weekend. Very clean and quiet but probably more going on during the summer months. We really enjoyed the view of the water although we only walked down to the pier a couple times. While we were there we went to the zoo, rcr museum, and relaxed the rest of the time. Great place to stay if you are coming to the area.

Nice place, but I wouldn't stay again

The place is very nice and looks like the photos. However, it would have been nice if they had used a broom or something to sweep away the many, many cobwebs from INSIDE the screened porch. Also, all of the notes posted inside the house with the "rules" that included threats about deposit loss was very unwelcoming. I suggest adding the rules to the information book instead of posting them all over the house. Overall we had a good weekend.

For a quick lake getaway, this was a a reasonable, clean and well stocked option. The owner was very responsive. The houses are close together, so you are aware of neighbors and other guests, but we found the trip peaceful. There is a pretty view of the lake from the dock, with quite a bit of bird watching with herons, egrets and ducks. The kayaks were definitely a bonus. The kitchen is well stocked, and the house was clean and comfortable.

The house has a nice screened porch that faces west for the sunsets. Nice showers and nice kitchen. Large living area makes the house feel larger than it is with plenty of room. Everything we needed to cook was provided. The host was responsive and helpful when we had questions. It was nice to be waterfront in Abbott’s Creek where we could dock the boat at the floating dock and come and go fishing as much as we wanted. We live on Gaston where the water level is kept in certain parameters. But it was nice that Highpoint Lake was 3 feet below full. It allowed us to motor under the Hwy 8 bridge and tour the whole lake. We caught a few fish and had fun.

Highly recommend

Our family really enjoyed the screened in porch, dock access, fishing and the warm lake water. The house was clean and extremely comfortable. The host was very attentive with replying to me before and during our visit. The neighbors are very friendly as well. None of us wanted to leave. Will definitely stay here again if we ever find ourselves back to the area.

Memorial Weekend Getaway

Had an incredible weekend away! Friends flew in for Memorial Weekend and everyone fit comfortably. The place was incredibly clean, smelt new, and the amenities were amazing! The access to YouTube TV allowed us to watch some basketball during the rain we had. Great outdoor seating area and loved having access right to the lake and the fire pit. Was even given a list of things to do in the area which was incredibly helpful during the storm we encountered. Cannot say a bad thing about this place!!
