Beautiful lake cabin
What a beautiful getaway! The cabin was spacious, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views of the lake were absolutely stunning, and we loved spending evenings by the fireplace—it added such a warm and relaxing touch. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep after our days of exploring. We were also so grateful that the cabin is pet-friendly! It was wonderful to bring our furry companion along to enjoy the trip with us. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic retreat!

Wonderful Lake Cabin
Our family of 4 enjoyed your cabin so much! The location was perfect. Downtown Charlotte is about 30 min away, yet the cabin felt secluded and to our selves. The beach area was perfect. We enjoyed sitting and fishing off the dock each day/evening. Dinner on the screened in porch was perfect. Thank you for the wonderful beds, sheets, and towels. We will definitely be back again.

Comfy Cabin, Outstanding Host
The property was exactly as advertised; clean, comfortable, and spacious. Initially, there was no problem with any of the amenities, but eventually there were a few speed bumps. In each case, our host was immediately responsive and worked to resolve each issue as best that could be done. There was no indication of neglect, only poor timing/luck. Only one issue remained unresolvable, and we were graciously compensated for the inconvienence. I would recommend this property and would stay there again should we visit the area in the future.

Enjoyable week at Lake Wylie
We spent most of our time on the spacious and beautiful screened-in porch. The views are lovely, and Georgia's (the owner) listing accurately describes and depicts her welcoming home. Fishing from the property's dock was a highlight. Georgia is a treasure and highly responsive. Thank you for being so kind.

Fantastic Stay
Overall a cute small cabin that had enough space for 6 adults comfortably. Beach was great, fishing was fantastic right from the dock, onsite boat rental was super convenient. Exactly what we were looking for, somewhere to have fun in the water, and also to be close to restaurants to eat at in the evening. No complaints.

Lake Life
Clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully outfitted lake rental. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our week on the Lake. Morning coffee on the upper screen porch. Early morning bass fishing (had pretty good luck this year). Watching the sunset out on the floating dock, while fishing for catfish (not much luck this year). Sitting in the shade on the beach midday watching the boat traffic and enjoying the waves. Can't wait to do it again next year.

Great Home and Deck
First, Georgia (homeowner) was outstanding with communication. Quick and clear responses to any questions. Second, the house was clean and convenient in a great location on the lake. The 2nd floor screened in deck with fans was where we spent most of our time playing games, eating and relaxing. We rented a boat from Georgia and she made it very convenient (offered to drop it off at our dock). 5 stars all around.

Amazing property
I stayed with a group of 6 girlfriends for a very low-key bachelorette weekend. The house was absolutely perfect - we got some great beach/dock time in when it was sunny, and when it rained, we played games on the huge second floor screened in porch. House was pristine and adorable. We didn’t get to use the boats, but they were there if we wanted them. Highly recommend this house for small to medium group get togethers!

Great place to spend a week with friends or family! Nicely remodeled 2 story cottage with rustic decor. Two bedrooms with firm king or a softer full sized beds. Plus two roll out sofa beds with new 5” foam gel mattresses ( stored in the shed). Living rooms both top and bottom floor , with fireplaces if you are in the mood.. Excellent tiled bathrooms, lotsa hot water and towels ….laundry room if you need it. Kitchen is well equipped with appliances , gadgets and a strong ice maker for party animals. Gas stove, dishwasher, full size fridge and a microwave. Garbage day is Monday FYI. Jumbo televisions each floor for the nearsighted elders, LOL . Wi-fi is strong. Furnace heat and Central air all work as they should. Two heating zones. upstairs vs downstairs. Community water well with strong water pressure, to scrub off the beach sand. Jumbo screened in upper rear porch for everyday dining or relaxing ! Man made sand beachfront is very nice for kids. Kept clean from west wind debris by an underwater fence , good engineering solution! Waterfront has kayaks, canoes and well stocked with live vests and paddles. Dock is large , and has a gated seating area. A few fishin poles on the downstairs patio. BYOB. ( Bring your own bait) Hostess Georgia has her ear to the phone in case you need any thing or advice . Great customer service! Can’t go wrong with a beautiful sunset. Easy on the pocketbook too. Make your reservation now! Cheers!

BEST THANKSGIVING EVER
We loved our long Thanksgiving break stay on Lake Wylie. The house was amazing and perfect for our family of 5 - us (the parents), 2 teenagers, and grandma. In addition, it was the perfect place for all of our extended family to come for dinner/game night/football watching/boat rides who were in town for the Thanksgiving Holiday to give my sister in law who was hosting the big Thanksgiving Dinner in Fort Mill a break from the crowds. Beautiful weekend, beautiful lake, beautiful home and we hope to be able to rent it again next year for Thanksgiving.

Perfect Cozy Lake House
If you are looking for a comfortable, cozy lake house - this is just that. Completely accurate property description and photos. Clean and everything you need in the kitchen. Working fireplace, comfortable couches and beds. Comfy blankets. Perfect location with a sandy beach right on the lake. Private and quiet. Georgia, our host, always answered promptly and was very easy to work with. Will definitely stay again.

Great home in a beautiful relaxing location
We had a great experience from initial contact, to our stay, to checking out. Georgia was very friendly and answered all of our question when we first asked about booking. The property itself was wonderful. It is in a beautiful neighborhood and the drive was pretty easy. It was private enough but close to restaurants and grocery stores. About a 20 min drive to Carowinds which we did over the weekend. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We only used the master bedroom downstairs and the bed was comfortable. The view out to the lake from the house was beautiful from both floors. We enjoyed some fishing from the dock, caught a bunch of catfish and mangrove snapper. There’s a nice beach area that had a fire pit (wood was provided ) a hammock, and a bunch of canoes and kayaks (we didn’t use them but they had plenty). We liked the convenience of a washer and dryer so we could do laundry before we left. There was a nice grassy area in front of the house and in the back for our dogs to run around and play (not fenced in). Neighborhood is quiet and even the neighbors next door were pretty quiet. This was a nice play to relax and enjoy a much needed stress free long weekend. If we visit NC again we will definitely look to stay here

Excellent location for Lake Wylie
We stayed at the property for 4 nights while visiting family that lives in the area. The cottage is exactly as advertised. 2 floors of great living space with huge decks for sitting out and enjoying the lake views. Not fancy but cleaned and well-maintained. Excellent sandy beach with a small swimming area. An unexpected bonus was that there is a sidewalk through the woods and surrounding area that provides an excellent walking path of a few miles. This is an excellent space for 2 couples or a family of 6-8 people.
