About this property

Five Acres and 400' of Crystal Clear Lake Front

Great house, gorgeous location! Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, near historic Shelby and Kings Mountain, NC. We have 5 acres of rolling hills and hardwood forest, directly on 400' of waterfront. Plenty of space to let the kids and pets run around! Only 45 minutes from Charlotte, but worlds away from the hustle and bustle.

Moss Lake is a quiet, spring-fed lake that is very clean (it’s the primary water supply for Kings Mountain) where you can canoe, fish, water ski and jet ski without the mayhem of other lakes near Charlotte. Close to Kings Mountain, Historic Shelby, Crowders Mountain, Schiele Museum, golf courses AND other attractions - there is plenty to do if you want to get out and about.

The waterfront includes a large private dock with mooring cleats, only a few minutes from a public landing so getting your boat there is a breeze! With state-record bass, it’s perfect for early morning anglers; with stunning views, it’s also perfect for a sunset canoe or kayak ride (both are available for your use). Or, kick into high gear with your jet ski or power boat. Whatever your pleasure, you’ll enjoy your water sports away from the crowds for a relaxing and fun experience.

On the property is a charming farmhouse with two bedrooms and one full bath and one half bath specifically set up for accommodating and entertaining large groups (owners have 5 kids, who all bring their friends for overnight sleep-overs!) With a queen-sized bed in the master bedroom, two sets of bunk beds in the other bedroom, as well as a queen-sized air mattress available the great room - which all mean you can sleep up to 6 comfortably, or up to 8 if you have a big family like we do! Includes newly renovated modern kitchen and bathroom, washer/dryer, new water heater, A/C, etc. Media includes HDTV with DVD player, free WiFi, and a bunch of popular movies for your use. We even have a closet full of books, puzzles and board games if the kids ever wear out from all the fun in the sun.

This is truly a 'hidden gem' we are renting out again this year - discover it, and love it like we do!

The house was nice and the stay was great. The property was very nice too. Getting there in the dark was a challenge to find the home but once we did, all good after that. Would recommend arriving for the first time, before dark

Another great stay!

We stayed here in 2022 while in town for a conference and brought the dogs for a little hiking. We always said we’d come back and finally did, for a longer stay this time and got a few days of hiking in at Crowders (great trails and only 20 minutes from the house). We love this place and it’s perfect for the dogs as it’s private and the back yard is secluded. I’m sure we’ll be back! Great house and great hosts.

Perfection!

This was our second stay at LOHITH and it was even better than the last! The furniture has been replaced and the house is stocked with everything you could need. We didn’t see the eagles this time, but there were two deer that hung out in the yard on Wednesday.
