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.

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.

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 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

Cute!

Cute little cozy cabin. A little rough around the edges, but nice just the same. If you’re looking for quiet- the rental neighbors are kind of in your space as well- so you may or may not have a relaxing time depending on who is renting next to you at the time

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.

Great place to relax

Everything was just what we expected and it was very peaceful. You would think with it being so close to the airport there would be a lot of airplan noise, but after the first night we heard nothing. Here are our only two negatives: 1) the matress in the master bedroom was terrible. After one night we both switched to the 2 twin beds in the 2nd bedroom, which were surprisingly comfortable! 2) they really don't have a paddle board. It looks like it's an old windsurfing board, which are not as easy to stand on as a paddleboard. Other than that though everything was great and communication with the property manager and owner was quick and easy.

Exactly what I was looking for!

This home was perfect for our needs. We only had a weekend in the Charlotte area to visit our daughter, her new husband, new home, and new puppy. Why would I stay in a hotel (or with her) when I could stay lakefront with spectacular sunsets, interesting boat watching, swimming, and then cruise the lake in the owner's pontoon boat they rent to house guests? Georgia, the owner, is great to work with and is prompt at responses if questions arise. We had never been to the Lake Wylie area and were happy to find how close it was to the airport, grocery shopping (at what seems to be a new Harris Teeter), and a 10 minute boat ride to lunch on the lake at a fun place called T-Bones. The property looks and feels (to me) as a lake cabin should. We are world travelers, experienced home exchangers, and do a lot of research before we decide on lodging. This property is exactly as the photos and description/amenities make it out to be so potential guests will not be disappointed.

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!

Lovely Place to Stay

The cottage was a nice home base to stay in during our visit. We really enjoyed the screened porch that overlooked the water. I traveled with an elderly relative and I was concerned the front walk was a bit challenging for him to navigate, however once inside, the walking areas were well lit and clear, Old condiments were left in the refrigerator and there were items in the freezer. We had room to store our items so it was a minimal inconvenience.
