About this property

The Road Less Traveled Lake Lodge

Welcome to The Road Less Traveled Lake Lodge, a private lakefront retreat tucked under the pines.

The final stretch of road may feel like the road less traveled… and that’s exactly the point. What awaits you is complete privacy, wide water views, and a rare sense of serenity.

Mornings begin with coffee on the screened porch. Afternoons are for paddling around the lake. Evenings feel like a true escape. Warm wood ceilings, lodge-style interiors, and uninterrupted sunsets across the lake.

Designed for gathering, The Road Less Traveled Lake Lodge offers spacious lake views, warm lodge-style interiors, and a layout that comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests.

The main living area features vaulted wood ceilings, comfortable seating, and large windows overlooking the water. The fully equipped kitchen makes group meals easy, complete with both a traditional coffee maker and Keurig. Just off the living space, the screened porch invites you to linger a little longer, whether you’re starting your morning or winding down at sunset.

The home includes four bedrooms and five potential sleeping areas: two king bedrooms, two queen bedrooms, and a private bonus living area with a convertible queen sofa bed. Two bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms, and one includes its own heating and cooling control along with a cozy portable fireplace for added comfort. In total, the home offers three full bathrooms.

Outdoor living is just as inviting. A private dock allows for fishing, duck watching, or simply sitting with your feet above the water. The covered porch, screened-in porch, and private deck off the primary suite provide multiple spaces to enjoy the lake from different vantage points. A Blackstone grill is available for outdoor cooking, and the property offers a four-car carport plus an additional parking pad.

Additional amenities include fast WiFi, Smart TVs, a Peloton bike, self check-in via secure keypad entry, and laundry to make longer stays effortless.

Though the setting feels wonderfully removed, you’re only minutes from Pinehurst golf, Southern Pines dining, and Moore County Airport, making this an ideal base for golf getaways, weddings, fly-in travelers, and extended stays.

A Note About the Setting

The Road Less Traveled Lake Lodge is tucked nearly a mile down a wooded drive. The approach is part of the charm and it’s what keeps the home private and peaceful. Guests should expect a slower, rustic final stretch before arriving at the lakefront retreat. Most standard vehicles navigate it without issue, but guests should expect a slower approach as there are a number of potholes and divots in the gravel road.

If you’re looking for convenience without crowds, you’re in the right place.

Now dont get me wrong this is a beautiful home but in the worst location you can ever think of far as trying to get there it is a 8 minute drive from highway up driveway to the house. Cars i do not recommend driving up there it is bad you need a off road cat or pickup truck or something like that. But the property itself is beautiful and they supply everything you need.
