Queens Pond Retreat

10% OFF FOR RETURN GUESTS- INQUIRE BEFORE YOU BOOK!

Tucked away near the Blue Ridge Mountains, yet only minutes from Lake James and Morganton, is a great family style retreat. Ask about our access to golf cart rental, it has to be reserved ahead of time since it is offsite. You are lodging in style but have the feel of practically camping! The home is updated with 4 bedrooms, and 2 baths and is located at the end of a private road. Surrounded by woods, there is only one other home in sight. The best part of this retreat is the two ponds, one for swimming which has concrete sides and a sandy bottom and is fed from a fresh spring, the other is for catch and release fishing and has bass, crappie, blue gill, and more. Above the swimming pond is an outdoor covered cooking area with sink, refrigerator, and electricity for large outdoor entertaining. If you want to enjoy nature while lodging in comfort, this is the perfect balance. You are only minutes away from local wineries, Lake James, Morganton downtown shopping, restaurants, craft breweries, Catawba River, parks and trails. You can also jump on I-40 and travel to nearby Asheville in only 50 minutes. We welcome corporate bookings also.
Owner disclosure to guests: The Swimming pond is seasonal from late Spring to early September. This rental is located within a larger family tract and the family does reserve the right to access the property and use both ponds. Renter does have full access to both ponds and picnic shelter but it may not be exclusive. Feel free to contact the property manager to inquire about use. The owner had indicated that July 4th and the first Sunday in August, there will be family members using the common area until 3pm. All booked guests are always welcome to also use the areas and join any activities. Feel free to contact the owner directly.

Beautiful Property
The photos were accurate and the property was beautiful. We enjoyed the fishing and swimming and the house was comfortable for everyone. Really close to the Highway but you can't hear the noise at all. It's definitely secluded which we liked but pretty close to downtown Morganton. Thank you for hosting us!

Nice quiet property
Overall this property met our needs. There were a few, very minor, standard kitchen items missing. We informed the property manager, I'm confident the owner will take care of it. All in all this eas a very nice comfortable property.

This was the perfect location and convienent to see our son and his children for our spring break. Plenty of room for everyone. It looked like the pictures. The weather was great and we really enjoyed the fishing at the private pond. The cocnut cake that was waiting for us upon arrival was a nice treat

This is our 3rd time staying in this beautiful property! The hospitality, cleanliness and location is amazing! Mr Bruce is very welcoming, we love the coconut pie every time! We rented the golf cart and enjoyed driving it around the property and seeing the animals. Perfect location between Boone, Grandfather, Beech, Asheville and Chimney Rock! We will be back next year again!

This property met what we were looking for. The house was clean and comfortable. The privacy is also another plus. There was an unexpected treat awaiting us in the fridge. The host had made the best coconut cake all of us had ever eaten. No way to describe it but phenomenal.

Excellent Property
The house is just as pictured. It was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room. The swimming pond and fishing pond were much larger than expected based on the pictures. We had a great time and would definitely rent again.
