Lake Life

It was a great time getting together with family and grand boys. Everyone loves the lake and one of the few sandy beaches was right across from the dock. Caught good fish and enjoyed the whole lake with evening boat rides.

Returning 5 Years in a Row

We have been staying at Mom’s Cabin for at least a month at a time for 5 years now. The views looking out over Lake Wylie are simply beautiful. The sunsets are especially spectacular. When we have had any problems we have always received a quick response and remedy. We hope to have many more years at the lake house.

Girl’s 60th birthday trip

Great location with beautiful views. It was nice to have all the living space on one level. Just 4 steps to get in or out. Best part of the cabin is the great screened in porch overlooking the lake and cove. We only had a few minor issues. Some of the chairs on the porch were wonky and need to be thrown out. We found out the hard way they were broken. Then there were no directions for how to turn on the porch lights, but we got a fairly quick response and were able to use them on our second and third nights. Overall, a great weekend! I would definitely come back!

Great time by the lake

Myself, my husband, our daughter, son-in-law, and youngest son spent a week here at Mom's Cabin. The location was perfect. Close to stores and restaurants, but feels secluded and private. We saw the deer everyday, along with geese, ducks and a crane. The cabin was very spacious. It was well stocked. The place reminded us of our own family cabin. We all felt like kids again.

The perfect family getaway.

Mom's Cabin was the ideal getaway for me and my two boys. We wanted the feel of a cabin with all the necessary amenities. Great dock for fishing, swimming and relaxing. Next time I rent Mom's Cabin I will definitely rent a boat, the dock is very capable of this. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy a family weekend at your cabin. We will see you again. Danny D

Tucked Away Paradise

This sweet house is the perfect, simple, getaway from it all. My family and I lived on the dock and the amazing porch. The home had it all with a loaded kitchen filled with cooking supplies, games, puzzles, outdoor games, chairs, chairs, chairs. The spot is kept hidden back in the woods so you truly feel left alone to just enjoy the peace of nature and explore the property. The fenced area is perfect for anyone worried about little ones around the water. The deer greeted us several times a day. The blue herons and ducks often lingered to check us out. The home is older, but kept very clean and the property very well maintained. We wished we had more time to stay!

Family Time

Great setting , house is nice, but the best part was screened in porch. Enjoyed it so much! Our bed was fine but my daughter and son in law did not like the blow up matress on top of a smaller box spring. It was supposed to be a king bed but ?? Otherwise a nice gathering place for us.

Wonderful stay!

We had a very enjoyable stay! Our family of 6 had plenty of room, and the outside area is fantastic! My husband caught plenty of fish off the dock. I will say that I did go out and buy a few extra pots and pans because I only found one pan and pot. There is only one TV in the living room, so if your one who likes to watch TV while laying down it doesn’t have one. But overall it’sa great place to stay and we will definitely come back!!!

About the host

Hosted by William Lawson

Host profile image
My brothers and I inherited Mom's Cabin from our parents in 2013. It is where we spent our summers growing up, and where we have many lasting memory's. We all have separate lives now, but hope there are other families that can create new memory's at this special place.

What makes this property unique

A large, wrap around, screened-in porch greets you when you first walk in. The views of the lake are fantastic. A short walk to the dock and relaxing plunge into Lake Wylie. Close to Charlotte, Fort Mill, and Rock Hill.
