Start your mornings with coffee on the dock as you take in serene views of peaceful Goat Island. Watch fish jump and listen to the calming sounds of nature all around you. Spend the day swimming or cruising the lake, then cast a line off the dock beneath the stars. After a day of fun and adventure, sink into our cozy beds for a restful night’s sleep.

We had a wonderful stay at this waterfront home in a nice quiet community . The home was comfortable, clean and as described. My family of five had plenty of space and it was so nice to be right on the lake. The beds were very comfortable and it was an added bonus that there were three full baths. The kitchen was fully equipped and easy to navigate. The host was very helpful and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend staying here.

The house was amazing! Right on the lake and a golf course a few minutes away. Activities for everyone. We enjoyed the paddle boards, the fireplace table and floating on the lake with the wildlife. It was a peaceful getaway.

Host sent a lot of helpful information and prepared us well for our stay. The house is in terrific shape and everything worked well for us. Kitchen was well stocked and the only minor thing we needed was a can opener. We were not able to spend much time outside due to weather. We will definitely come back here again. We loved our long Thanksgiving weekend away.
Beautiful day at the lake

We loved hosting you! We will rectify the lack of a can opener before the next guest arrives… it seems to have gone missing! Thank you for that info and a great review! We hope to see you again in WARMER weather! Take care.

This was a great house. The location on the lake was great - a few paddles away from the open lake, but plenty of room in the cove if that feels safer. Super close to a grocery store. About 30 minutes to Mount Morrow which was free to enter. It has some cool hikes and a pretty sunset overlook. My son caught a 10 lb catfish right off the dock! We enjoyed the paddleboards and found the kitchen to be well equipped. The floor plan is spacious as well so you don't feel like you are on top of each other. It was really nice!

Yep, choose this one.

My family and I travel often from Texas to NC to visit family and friends. This house was exactly as described! The location was awesome, short 7 minute drive to the grocery store and food options. My son and brother even walked to the golf course. It’s very quiet and peaceful and a great spot for fishing. Truly zero complaints and will be our first pick for future stays!

Great space & awesome host

My family stayed here in March. We had a small family cook out/ gender reveal and it was the perfect space for that. The host was amazingly nice and helpful about everything. He was always quick to respond. I reached out to another property, "hooked on tillery" and that lady was the rudest person so I'm thankful I found Mark's property and booked here. I think my family's only complaint was they didn't love the pillows but the rest was great. The kids and adults loved playing on the shuffleboard table and the patio was nice. I would love to stay again in the summer to really experience the lake.
