Fantastic lake house/property

We had an excellent time staying at this house--it was clean, well taken care of, and provided a lot of dock and lake fun! We loved sitting on our private beach all day and deck all night. Great place to stay!!

Serene lake getaway

This house is beautifully nestled on the Catawa River and offers a peaceful, private beach getaway that our entire group enjoyed. The owner was communicative answering questions before we booked all the way to check out - the house and property was exactly as described and pictured. Everyone in our group enjoyed our stay!

Perfect Fall Getaway!

I visited EllaJo’s with my 75 year old grandmother and 2 teen boys for a little fall getaway. The house exceeded all of our expectations and Michael was great to work with! The house was very clean and well stocked, once we arrived we had no interest in leaving again. Can’t wait to return!

Fantastic week

We had our family stay here for the week and trailered our pontoon over from Raleigh/Cary. Especially enjoyed the backyard, the massive decks and the dock, beach area - all are really well done with plenty of space! Great property and the house was clean and well managed. And the town of Belmont was very charming. Thank you!

Amazing place !!!!!!

Spent four nights here with our kids and grandkid. Everything was perfect. Owner is very detail oriented, he has thought of everything. We had easy access to the lake and was even able to bring our boat and use his dock. We hope to come back here again

You Won’t Be Disappointed

Awesome place. Awesome location. Very clean property. Great yard with fire pit. Mike was very helpful and put me in contact with a friend that rented us a pontoon. Everyone loved it. Took boat to Popa Doc’s restaurant on the lake. We’ll definitely be back. Like I said, you won’t be disappointed.

Quintessential Lake House

The house is everything you think of for a lake vacation. It was cute, cozy and well -stocked with lake access and plenty of room to relax. We rented a boat that was delivered to the dock, and my kids were out all day tubing and swimming. S’mores and grilling at night or we also went into downtown Belmont which has lots of restaurant options. Mike was so nice to deal with and very responsive. I highly recommend this property!

Relaxation at the Lake

We really enjoyed all the spaces for everyone to enjoy and not be on top of eachother. The palddle boards and paddle boat were used alot. We found a rope swing across the lake and had fun swinging out into the lake. We also rented the pontoon boat abd highly recommend that if you stay here. The house was clean and had all the towels, beach towels, hair dryers, cleaning items you will need. The only suggestion is to bring a first aid kit. Someone in our group cut their leg and we didn't have anything with us. Other than that - no complaints!

Very Nice Place and Experience

The owner obviously cares about their guests and goes the extra step to make sure that they are welcome, comfortable and well cared for. Great location on the water, with a variety of porches to enjoy the view; very well cared-for property; very well equipped in terms of water and land sports, including life preservers for the paddle board & kayacks; comfortable beds; excellent wifi; house has all the spaces and views someone might want or need; even included adequate paper towels and toilet paper, dish and laundry detergent--We brought all that stuff, but we didn't need it, because the owner provided it. We thought we were treated very well. No nickel and diming here--first class all the way.

Oh, what a delightful escapade we had at the lake house! It was as if we had stumbled into a real-life postcard, complete with all the charm and quirks one could hope for. Picture this: sipping on a steaming cup of coffee, bleary-eyed but blissfully content, as the early morning sun decided to make a grand entrance, painting the sky in hues that would make even the most seasoned artist jealous. It was the kind of morning that makes you believe in the magic of life, or at the very least, the magic of a good cup of joe.And then there was the kayaking! We paddled around like a couple of intrepid explorers, except instead of discovering new lands, we discovered the best spots to avoid getting splashed by our own oars. It was a workout, a comedy show, and a nature documentary all rolled into one. Who knew that trying to steer a kayak could be so entertaining?But the pièce de résistance was undoubtedly the fishing. We stood on the dock, rods in hand, feeling like seasoned anglers ready to conquer the depths of the lake. And conquer we did! Our haul was nothing short of legendary—largemouth bass, white bass, catfish, and crappie so massive they could have starred in their own aquatic soap opera. We were practically swimming in fish, and I half-expected a fish to start narrating our adventure.In short, our stay was a spectacular symphony of sunrises, splashes, and spectacular catches. It was a taste of lake house living that left us yearning for more!

Excellent property, and Mike was a great host. Our family really enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room for five adults and two kids, and the house had everything we needed. The outdoor amenities were a big plus.The property included several kayaks for both kids and adults, a paddleboard, plenty of life jackets in different sizes, and even a kids fishing pole! Our kids especially enjoyed the beach area, where they spent a lot of time playing in the sand with all the toys provided. There were also plenty of outdoor seating options to relax and enjoy the views.The location was perfect. Right on a quiet, peaceful cove with very little boat traffic, and still only about 10 minutes from town, which is definitely worth visiting.I would also recommend renting a pontoon boat. Mike connected us with a local contact who provided great service, with easy drop-off and pickup right at the dock.Overall, it was a great stay. It’s a beautiful property, especially for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Our kids absolutely loved it!

Perfect house for family time at the lake

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ella Jo’s and would recommend it to any family looking for space to unwind and play. We enjoyed the many water toys, meals on the back deck, ping pong, and relaxing together in the family room. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean and spacious. The entire house is welcoming with tasteful decor. Mike was extremely responsive and attentive.

Lake Front Retreat

The house is lovely and being so close to the water made for a relaxing trip. We had fun exploring the lake on the provided kayaks and lounging on the many seating areas. My only suggestion would be to fix the hammock as it was at a very steep angle and wasn’t the most comfortable to sit in despite me trying many positions. Overall amazing house, close proximity to airport and cute downtown area with bars and food. Would absolutely come back again!

Great, relaxing location and stellar home

We loved our time at this property! Mike was extremely communicative and helpful. The kids loved the foosball and pop-a-shot in in the garage and they had cornhole and oversized Jenga for yard games. We used the kayak and SUP on the lake by the house where it was quite calm. A new backyard deck had just been built and it was wonderful to sit out there and relax. The house was really clean and had everything we needed. It was even nicer than the pictures and perfect for our family of 4.
