About this property

THIS HOUSE HAS HAD SOME UPDATES (IE: MITSUBISHI SPLITS ACS IN ALL ROOMS AND NEW SLIDING GLASS DOORS UP AND DOWN),BUT SOME PHOTOS ARE OLD. COME ON IN, TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND PULL UP A SEAT ON THE DECK OVER-LOOKING THE MOST SERENE LAKE IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA (MY OPINION) AND SIP YOUR FAVORITE BEVERAGE!! NO POLYESTER IN THESE SHEETS! JUST BRING YOUR TOOTHBRUSH AND A CHANGE OF CLOTHES AND YOU ARE ALL SET. FORGOT SHAMPOO? IT'S THERE. FORGOT YOUR RAZOR? IT'S THERE. FORGOT YOUR GOLF CLUBS? CAN'T HELP YOU, SORRY (someone stole mine)!

GREAT FOR GUYS GOLF TRIP OR LADIES GETAWAY FROM IT ALL!

GOLF!!!!!! THREE BEAUTIFUL GOLF COURSES WITHIN 3-5 MINUTES OF THE HOUSE. WATERFALLS, TENNIS, HIKING, TUBING, BIKING AND MORE. ONE STATE PARK AND ONE NATIONAL FOREST WITHIN 20 MINUTES OF THE HOUSE!

THIS HOME IS 15 MINUTES FROM QUAINT DOWNTOWN HENDERSONVILLE AND BREVARD (MUSIC CENTER). TWENTY MILES FROM ASHEVILLE, ONE HOUR FROM GREENVILLE AND ONE FROM HIGHLANDS.

REMEMBER, THIS IS A LAKE HOUSE, NOT THE BILTMORE. IF YOU WANT MARBLE, GRANITE, AND VENETIAN PLASTER, YOU ARE IN THE WRONG NECK OF THE WOODS, LITERALLY!

Wonderful home

My wife and I decided to take our young children to the mountains for an impromptu vacation. We were pleasantly surprised by the home and the beautiful lake upon arrival. This home is extremely well stocked and was very clean. It is in a great location to all of the conveniences you may need but also feels somewhat secluded for that peace of mind. As for the host…Karen is one of the nicest and helpful hosts you could possibly ask for. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking.

Just as described- great stay!

Everything was as described with excellent communication from the owner. While the lake didn't seem to be well-stocked for fishing, we still had a fantastic time swimming and kayaking, and we managed to catch a couple of fish. There are plenty of nearby activities to keep teenagers entertained. Highly recommend!

Truly tranquil

Pictures do not do this property justice...lovely furnishings and tasteful decor. Well supplied. You can literally just bring your toothbrush and change of clothes! Very comfortable beds and bedding. Peaceful setting. Enjoyed sitting on deck as well as the dock. Host was very pleasant and responsive. We will be back!

Thanksgiving Visit

Husband and I and 20yo son stayed over Thanksgiving weekend to visit my parents in Cummings Cove. Super convenient. Nice to have 3B/3B. Overall loved it. Listing says hot tub, but there wasn’t one. The 3 bedrooms are each on different levels. No issue for us, but worth noting for families w younger kids. We will say here again though. Had a great experience! Definitely recommend.

Tranquil Comfort

Karen is SUPER responsive and kind! The house is spacious with three full beds and three baths, but it could sleep another three on comfy sofas if needed. The kitchen and baths had all one could want, and the view of the lake is magnificent. Because the property is a private lakefront, daily walks were lovely. Convenient to Asheville and Sierra Nevada.

We loved the location! It rained a lot of the time we were in town and this property gave us a beautiful vantage point to slow down and enjoy the rainforest we were in. Would definitely stay here again! The lake was great, lovely patios, and very comfortable beds!

Plenty of room

Lovely woodsy setting on a small lake. Little too chilly and too busy to go down to the dock but it looked pretty. Lots of room in the house to spread out if needed. We were pretty much just at the house to sleep so didn't really familiarize ourselves with the amenities of the house. Karen was easy to communicate with and even gave us a heads up on a Facebook posting of a bear sighting in the neighborhood!

A Hendersonville house on a lake.

Excellent host, very quick to respond. The location is on a lovely lake/ pond. The property is better suited for spring/summer. The house has a difficult time warming up and the gas fireplace puts out little heat. The living room couch is worn and the televisions in the master bedroom and living room are in serious need of adjustment or replacement. The house is well equipped with kitchen supplies.

Beautiful Setting

My husband and 4 of our best friends spent 4 days and nights at this property. Our time was nothing but enjoyable, relaxing and comfortable. The house has a beautiful location right on the lake, although the weather was not on our side. The home was very well stocked, clean and spacious. With three couples, we each had our own floor, which worked out perfectly. The only negative, is the drive to town, which is not bad, but we would have preferred to walk. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a quiet neighborhood. Also, during the warmer months, you could get use out of the beautiful surroundings and lake.

HI
MY NAME IS KAREN AND I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA WHEN I AM NOT IN THE MOUNTAINS ENJOYING ALL THE AREA HAS TO OFFER. I AM A REALTOR IN PALM BEACH WITH WILLIAM RAVEIS AND A TENNIS PRO (THOUGH IT HURTS MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY). I HAVE 2 GROWN SONS AND I WORK ALL THE TIME! THAT IS WHY I LOVE TO GET AWAY TO HENDERSONVILLE AND ENJOY THE OUTDOORS.

Why they chose this property

LOVE EVERYTHING THE MOUNTAINS HAVE TO OFFER.

What makes this property unique

THIS HOUSE IS SITUATED ON A SMALL SWIMMING/FISHING LAKE. THE BEAUTY OF IT IS THE VIEW! YOU CAN ALSO SEE ALMOST ALL THE WAY AROUND THE LAKE BECAUSE MY HOUSE SITS UP HIGH, IF YOU NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE CHILDREN. THERE IS A ROAD THAT GOES AROUND THE LAKE FOR WALKING AND IT IS JUST SUCH A HAPPY PLACE AND I HAVE THE BEST NEIGHBORS!!!!
