Fantastic Lake Stay

Just as described in their listing, this beautiful home on the lake was a perfect spot for our small family to enjoy a peaceful getaway. We loved the natural surroundings of the lake spot and spent the majority of our stay in the water and enjoying quiet hikes nearby. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to enjoy this quiet place. The house had all the amenities described and was very comfortable.

Fantastic Stay at a Beautiful Lake House

We had an amazing time staying at this lovely lake house! The house was well-maintained, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The quiet and peaceful area provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. We were also lucky enough to have great weather, which allowed us to fully enjoy the surroundings. The only thing we wished for was an outdoor grill, as it would have been great for enjoying meals outside. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we’d love to return again in the future!

Great house with dock

We loved the house and being able to dock our boat all week was great. Public boat ramp right across the cove so it was only a couple mins by boat to house. Very quiet neighborhood and all the people in the area were friendly and welcoming. We did not realize that the garage was not accessible and that made unpacking the truck with a weeks work of cloths and food a little more difficult.

A quiet stay at Kerr Lake

The house was spacious and comfortable. We had a nice view of the lake. The kitchen was well equipped. Access to cable tv and internet was excellent. It was easy to access our favorite sporting events. The check out instructions were very simple. The set up of the house and amenities made our stay enjoyable.

Fairly nice with a few quirks

I enjoyed my time, property is located really close to neighbors so not as much privacy as i’d like. Several lights in the house were buggy or just didn’t work. Other than those nitpicks: house was very clean, easy access to the lake, kayaks were nice for fishing or just puttering along the lakeside.

Ask about lake levels

Great property, very clean, beautiful view from windows in living room. If you plan on swimming from the dock or bringing your boat, make sure and ask about lake levels (or do your own research before you arrive) as the lake water level was so low when we went, the dock was not even in the water. Obviously no fault to the owner, but would be good to know before arriving to set expectations.

Kerr lake

Overall we had a wonderful time on the lake. The house needs some thorough maintenance as in fridge cleaning, gutters and the rotting smell which seemed to come from the garage or shrub area. And it needs a grill! We'd stay again but would be better prepared.

PERFECT SPOT

House is lovely and inviting, just like the pictures. The entrance stairs are a little steep, but manageable. Very spacious, open and comfortable. Great place to spend relaxing. Close access to several state recreation areas for boat ramp. Quaint country store about 3 miles from the house with good food and milk shakes. Will definitely be going back.

Hidden Gem!!

This vacation home blew my expectations out of the water!! House was stunning. I was in complete shock once I stepped into this home. The bed was by far the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in and the sheets and comforter were so soft and comfortable I had to look at the tag so I could order some for our own home!! The location is perfect right across from the boat ramp. We took our boat and the private dock was a big bonus !! The water was a bit high so we had to get our feet wet to get to the dock but it was fine did not make any difference! Be ware of snakes we did see one venous one that appeared to have just hatched so if your not native this type of area be sure to talk with your little ones about snakes so they don’t try and touch them. This is totally normal in NC this time of the year. We will definitely be back with our children!! Host was amazing, communication was easy and answered any questions! This is the best house I have ever rented off this site!

Beautiful Home to rent with private dock!

Beautiful nice spacious home within 100 yards of a private dock. Love the view from the living area looking down on the lake. The master bed was very comfortable and had a tv. Downstairs bedroom has 3 beds but no tv. Our son slept in the living room since he prefers to watch tv at night. Had a lot of kitchen appliances for cooking. Could have used extra towels and wash cloths but we ended up washing a load while we were there since there was already a load of laundry in the washer and dryer so it worked out. Floors needed vacuumed prior to arrival. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Fire pit area is nice but we did not have time to use it as we spent most of our time on the lake. Would definitely stay here again.

Fall trip

This was our second stay at this property. Last time was in the spring, and we really enjoyed it. Came back in the fall and were not disappointed! Catfishing from the bank was good and the house is very comfortable. We will probably be back!
