About this property
The Overlook
Our cabin, Overlook, rests on the main channel of Lake Wylie, yet is tucked inside a sheltered bay. It is the closest proximity to Charlotte of any lake in NC. In 20 minutes you can be downtown and 15 minutes to the airport! There are fabulous restaurants, shopping and other amenities within a 10 minute drive. We have a fully stocked kitchen with all the cookware wine glasses etc that you will need for your stay. The 180 degree lake view oriented due west provides some exquisitely dramatic sunsets. You can relax and unwind while you watch amazing scenery from the patio, the covered porch, hammock or dock.
The house has tongue and grove wood paneling throughout, even on the ceilings of the den and dining room. It has recently been updated, but the original "lake cabin" feel has been kept. It has the feel of privacy and seclusion.
You will love the beach! It is perfect for the kids to run around and play in the sand while you watch from the patio or dock. The "bay" offers a safe swimming environment, being indented into the shoreline, feel comfortable and confident that your loved ones are safe from boat traffic. You will have access to a canoe, kayak and stand up paddle board to launch out on an adventure from the beach.
Upon entering, you will find the cabin to be clean and well kept. We take great pride in this! You will have clean sheets, clean kitchen, and house so you won't need to worry about bringing anything but yourself!

The lake view was amazing - beautiful sunsets, beach area, and calming vistas. Even better, we were able to bring our furry family member. We took the boats out and explored the lake and coves. Definitely recommend!!
This house was the perfect getaway for a girls weekend. The indoor fireplace provided much needed warmth during our stay. The screened in porch with rockers were nice to have happy hour with a view bug free. The beach on the lake with a fire pit provided wonderful memories.
If you are looking for a peaceful setting with excellent access to the lake this is for you. The host was fantastic through the entire process. I will definitely be renting this again in the future.
The Overlook is a wonderful hideaway and perfect for sister’s weekend. The highlight perhaps was the hostess’s accommodating my requests. She was so helpful. Thanks for a great stay, Georgia!
Cabin, was great. Way more then the wife and i needed but glad we went there. Weather turned out nice. Had a fire by the beach one nite and relaxed. A day in just unwinding, and a couple quick trips to Charlotte were super convenient. Will definitely recommend
Wonderful cabin with breath taking views. Comfy on the inside and relaxing on the outside. Not far from the city. Plenty of lake activities that are fun and entertaining. You will not be disappointed with choice. The owners were easy to communicate with and they were unbelievably gracious to a humble guest. I can’t thank them enough!
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.
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!
Our stay was amazing.. we actually had family stay in each of the 3 houses that connect to the private beach front. we had a great time! Georgia was great with communication!
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.

About the host
Hosted by Georgia Hayes
Sarah and I are both natives of Charlotte. We went to rival high schools and then rival colleges before we met after college back in Charlotte. Despite our different views on ACC basketball and football, we both agree on our love for Lake Wylie.I grew up coming to Lake Wylie on the weekends to my parents cabin located very close to Sweetwater. After college I became a General Contractor, renovated their cabin and was able to live there while the renovations took place. (LUCKY ME!) Needless to say- I was hooked! I loved Lake Wylie. I had been looking for a place of my own and jumped at the opportunity when Sweetwater came on the market. The place needed some work, however it had a certain charm that I knew couldn't be passed up. We bought this wonderful cottage, renovated it for a year, and it is now available for rent.
We have a wonderful mother, Georgia, who helps us with the management of the property. She gives all of our guests a warm welcome and is here for your accommodations.
