About this property

Fisherman's Paradise and Country Retreat on Kerr Reservoir

This secluded, spacious house is perfect for your fishing retreat or family reunion. Located on the edge of Kerr Reservoir and forests, surrounded with airy covered porches, and equipped with the perfect cleaning station to work your catch, this is the ideal location for your get-together and uninterrupted fishing extravaganza.

Walk or drive down to 2 large private floating docks that can accommodate several boats (and sunbathers!). Wildlife and gentle breezes accompany your visit, as you shed the hurry and tension of life in town. Toss a horseshoe game in the evening and watch for the shy, wild turkeys and deer take their stroll across the bottom field.

This is our family's country house, and some of our belongings are there, too. You will feel right at home, settling in with your friends, and will be sad to leave this beautiful estate, there are no other houses to distract from velvety black skies at night or the quiet of an early morning.

Traditional 2-story home, set on high foundation. All stairs (interior and exterior) have normal handrails; childproof gates/barriers are NOT provided by owner.

Beautiful oasis
The fishing crew loved this house and location. The house was open, airy and clean. The grounds were beautiful. Very peaceful. Have already recommended to others. Will definitely book again when returning to the area.

Beautiful Retreat
The house and grounds are a wonderful retreat for a big family. Lots of room for everyone. The house is full of light, the wrap-around porch a delight to watch a rainstorm, have conversation, and listen to nature. The docks are great for star-gazing. The fish-cleaning station is a great feature! The kitchen is nice and big for multiple cooks. We enjoyed the seclusion and privacy of the extensive grounds. We would love to return again!

very pleasant and relaxing stay.
Great place for a group get away. Internet service is not great and no service with sprint at all. But if looking for a relaxing getaway it is great.

Perfect Place for a Family Getaway
A great place for our family getaway to celebrate multiple significant birthdays. Ten of us and plenty of room for everyone. Two nice docks on the lake, perfect for swimming of fishing. Off a quiet cove on Kerr lake, well protected from the wind on the main channel. Water level in the lake was very high with lots of debris in the main channel, but clear calm water there, perfect for boating, fishing and swimming. We had a great Memorial Day weekend and will definitely be back.

Excellent Property - We loved it!
Spent 3 nights at Violet's Grove on a fishing trip weekend. The property is very nice. We saw turkeys and deer out in the fields on two mornings. The house is roomy and well equipped. Everything was in great shape and we really enjoyed out stay. We felt like it was home and we will be looking to rent this property again.
