Wonderful home, right on the lake. Very clean and spacious and close to shopping. Hosted my family, all 12 of us felt we had enough space. We also rented a pontoon boat to see the lake. Great time for all. Very spacious deck in back was ideal for grilling as well. Hosts were very responsive and kind.
The place is beautiful and very clean. Matt was very attentive and responded to any questions right away. They were even kind enough to make sure there was fire wood and fire starters for the fire pit. We had a 10/10 time on our bachelor trip. It is very steep so bring some good shoes! We would definitely come back.
Well appointed with large comfortable rooms and lots to do on the property. The view of the lake is stunning even in winter. Quiet neighbor and convenient to downtown Hickory. Management was very responsive to the minor issues we had. Highly recommend this retreat!!
We booked this home for us and some family to stay at for our wedding that was nearby. The home was beautiful, clean, and the library was such a unique part of the home. Would definitely recommend this host and home every time!
The house and location were beautiful. The house accommodated my family perfectly. The view to the lake was stunning. Communication with the host was good. The only negative was that I was expecting the house to be spotless clean based on previous reviews. Great house to create memories!
The view was beautiful. The dock was under repair due to hurricane damage. Having the dock would have been a nice addition to our lake time. We hiked in nearby parks each day.
Beautiful, well maintained, clean lakeside property that was perfect for our large family gathering. Lots of fun activities at the site and in the area for the children and adults. Host was very responsive and helpful.
House has open floor plan and very spacious with a beautiful view of the lake. There were 7 in our party and we were able to relax and not feel cramped. Well stocked kitchen and lovely appliances. Fire pit looked inviting but we didn’t have a chance to use. We will do that next time. Enjoyed our stay!!
We had a great wedding weekend stay with all wedding party members. Beautiful mornings with coffee on the lake, beautiful sunsets in the evening.
Great memories.
This house is great for a large group. With 4 bedrooms & 4 bathrooms, plus lots of space to gather without feeling crowded.
One note - both the driveway and the path to the lake are VERY steep.
This was our first trip to lake Rhodhiss and it was beyond what I expected! House was huge, beds very comfortable, great linens, great sunsets, best bunk room, and the lake toys were very much appreciated! The only downfall is the very steep walk to water.
Our stay was simply unforgettable. From the very first moment, we fell in love with the lake views — they are truly breathtaking and bring a unique sense of peace. The house is huge, beautiful, and thoughtfully cared for in every detail; we didn’t lack anything at all, from kitchen condiments to games for the kids — everything was provided with so much care.The beds are extremely comfortable, perfect for resting, and the entire atmosphere of the house is warm and welcoming, making it ideal for enjoying time with family. The service was excellent at all times, and the owners were incredibly kind and attentive throughout the entire process.Our whole family absolutely loved it and took home wonderful memories. Without a doubt, this is a place we would love to return to
Wonderful stay! Very clean with lots of room to spread out. The beds were amazingly comfortable. Beautiful dining room area that we used to take gorgeous bridal photos. The photographer and videographer said the lighting was excellent. We would love to stay again! Matt was very quick to answer any questions we had.
The house was even more beautiful in person. We celebrated my dads 80th birthday everyone had a great time. My 11-year old niece wrote a lengthy review in the guest book. 5 star rating from the youngest to the oldest in our group!
This spacious lake house was all that it was describe to be and more!! A place that fostered peace, love, tranquility, entertainment, and wonderful memories! The scenery is absolutely beautiful!! The rooms provided plenty of space for all 10 of us!! The beds were very comfortable. The house was very clean. Our host was superb!! His communication skills were excellent!! We loved it here!
This property is located in a good neighborhood, central to local stores and shopping. Beautiful large house with amazing view of the lake and mountains. Me and family of 7 adults and two small children fit very comfortably and with privacy in the house. The rooms are very spacious and well furnished. The house was clean and the kitchen fully stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit, pool table and library. I highly recommend this location for a memorable vacation.
House was very well laid out and appointed. Spent time relaxing on the dock overlooking the lake, and the cool nights by the fire pit. Kitchen had everything needed for all our cooking needs. Beds were COMFORTABLE. Probably the most comfortable bed we have ever had at a rental. Communication with Matt was prompt and courteous. Nothing negative to say, hope to be back again some day.
Wow, the house is beautiful. Lots of room for everyone. Matt, makes sure to keep in touch. And to resend info if need be Lol. We stayed with our family and some friends and enjoyed playing pool, fuse ball out on the screen porch and eating at a beauty’s table in front of huge beautiful windows. We would DEFINITELY stay again and it was the easiest stay we have ever had with VRBO
Wow! We absolutely loved our stay here. My husband is from Granite Falls, however, we live in Maryland. This home was the perfect place to stay for our visit as it was plenty big enough for our family to hang out and leisurely spend time together. My 3.5 and 1.5 years olds especially loved the library, the bunk room, and the view of the lake from the dining room. Matt, the host, was great, super attentive to any messages. We will absolutely be back to stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Edgewater Exclusive LLC
Our family purchased this house and made it our home to share with others as a step towards retirement. Our large extended family really enjoys sunsets, the water, relaxing, and having fun on the lake. Our home is situated in the purchase location near the quaint town of Hickory and a short drive to Charlotte, Ashville, Boone and other great small towns in the hills. We really enjoy sharing our home and hosting those that travel in to share in our excitement for the property.
Why they chose this property
Our home is located in a quiet, peaceful cul-de-sac in a prime section of Granite Falls, North Carolina. Tucked away at the end of a private road, the neighborhood offers the rare combination of deep seclusion and accessibility. The immediate area around Edgewater Court is defined by the gentle, rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the calm, sapphire waters of Lake Rhodhiss. Because we are situated in a low-traffic cul-de-sac, you won’t hear highway noise—only the sound of the breeze through the trees and the occasional bird song from the lake. It is a true "retreat" environment where neighbors are friendly but privacy is the rule.
While our neighborhood feels like a world away, you are perfectly placed to enjoy the best of the NC foothills:
The Lake: You are steps away from the water, offering a serene environment perfect for early morning paddleboarding, fishing, or relaxing on our private dock.
Granite Falls & Hickory: You are a short 15-minute drive from the heart of Hickory, where you’ll find vibrant downtown shopping, diverse dining options, breweries, and all the grocery/retail amenities you need to stock up for your stay.
Proximity to Adventure: We serve as the perfect "base camp." Whether you want to spend the day exploring the high-mountain peaks of Blowing Rock and Boone, visiting the historic sites in Winston-Salem, or catching a flight or a show in Charlotte, our location puts you within an easy, scenic drive of all these major NC landmarks.
What makes this property unique
This property is a rare find that masters the art of the 'group retreat' without sacrificing individual luxury. Unlike most lakefront homes that force you to choose between convenience and seclusion, we offer the best of both worlds.
We have solved the biggest 'group travel' headache: the fight for the best bedroom. Our estate features two near-identical King Master Suites on the main floor - both with private ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets - ensuring every couple in your party enjoys equal comfort. We’ve also designed the home for a natural flow: the 'Social Level' (Main Floor) is built for gathering in our 24ft-ceiling Great Room or chef’s kitchen, while the 'Entertainment Zone' (Lower Level) is a dedicated space for fun, complete with a pool table, screened-in porch, and bunk-room adventure.
We believe your vacation should be about the water, not logistics. You don’t need to pack up the car to find adventure; your private fleet - including 2 paddleboards, lifejackets, and oars- is waiting for you at our private dock, nestled in a calm, protected cove. We’ve also handled the practical details that most large rentals overlook: with ample parking for 9 vehicles and two full-sized laundry rooms (one on each floor), you can spend your time making memories instead of managing gear.
Whether it’s a high-stakes pool tournament in the game room, a quiet morning of coffee on your private sunrise porch, or getting lost in a book from our curated Library Loft, every space in this home is intentionally crafted for relaxation. It is a true 'getaway' that perfectly balances high-end amenities with the peace of the NC foothills.
