Long Weekend

Wonderful lake property! Very clean home with plenty of room. We enjoyed the kitchen and living area being on the main floor and the bedrooms being located upstairs. This definitely helped those who wanted to sleep in or nap not be disturbed. The floats provided by the owners were very thoughtful, we used them to float in the water right at the home’s dock and felt very safe. It is important to know there is no boat ramp on the property, however, we found a nearby public boat access and had no problems navigating back to the house. We didn’t want to leave and would love to stay here again!

Fishing Trip

We recently rented here for a week-long fishing trip. The property had everything we needed inside and out for a very comfortable and nice stay. The dock was perfect for mooring our small boat and the location was close to the Uwharrie forest area of the lake which was less developed and very beautiful. The owner was friendly and very helpful and accomodating. We would certainly stay there again in the future.

3rd year visiting this property - hope to return again!

The property is well maintained, host is great, and location is perfect for our family. The stairs are challenging for someone with mobility issues but every lake house we have rented has had stairs. This one offers exactly what we need and Majorie has always been super wonderful to work with. We don't spend as much time on the water as most guests probably do so had to repeatedly reset the thermostat to keep house cool (71-72), but we understand the need to keep utility costs down.

The property was right in front of the lake. The dock is perfect to swim & tie up our boat.

This was a large 3 bedroom house with plenty of room for extra airbeds and cots. Kitchen has new appliances and washer/dryer are on lake side level for easy access. We lived at lake level and only went upstairs to sleep. The roses are beautiful. Our 5 yr old caught a 5.6 lb Catfish within 5 minutes of casting lessons. Lake is huge. Kayak and canoe lots of fun.

Summer vacation

The check in was very simple. The downstairs living space was comfortable, clean and had all the views. Location at the end of the cove was very quite, but the catfish didn't venture down to the end. Dock worked great and allowed good access for many hours floating in the water. Friends were able to bring their boat down and visit. We didnt expect the temperatures to be as hot as they were, we had a pop-up canopy that fit on the dock great. Very quiet and peaceful get-a-way.

Nice Vacation Home - Minus the steps

Our family had a great time fishing and swimming. A great area. The only minus is the stairs that literally go straight up to the bedrooms.

Awesome Lake House

Marjorie your house was just what we were looking for. Any closer to the water and we would have been in it. The covered porch was our favorite coffee spot…one morning a storm came through and we loved watching it go across the lake from the porch. We would recommend this house to anyone that loves the lake. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for sharing your piece of paradise with us! God bless!

About the host

Hosted by Marjorie Olsen

Host profile image
We have had our lakes home since 2006. This was a dream come true as we camped on Badin Lake for 12 years before we found our home. It remains our family home. I'm now a widow, retired after 43 years in nursing. I share the management of the property with my sons. As a team we hope you all will love the lake as much as we have. We retained the honest and personal belief that we treat anyone the way we would expect to be treated.

Why they chose this property

No agency with impersonal service. We are available by phone and email. We understand families are extended and we welcome your children and pets. We provide kayak and canoe so everyone may embrace our lake. We ask that all pets remain on the lower level to avoid pet issues in the sleeping carpeted areas. We partner with a Rental co. which offer a 25 ft. Tritoon w/ 200 HP motor.

What makes this property unique

Personal service., smoke free home and pets are always welcome on the tiled area of the house. Please be aware this is a lake side location so all children must be monitored when at the lake to avoid falls and water hazards.
