About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Enjoy the beautiful sunsets and lake views from every room and deck!

Beautiful rustic, yet sophisticated house built in 2008. It is on a large wooded lot on the main channel of the lake with a really big water view. The best sunset view is from the upper screened-in porch, with the trees silhouetted in between. Blue herons, cranes, and many other birds and wildlife. Hike to the dam on a trail through the woods; enjoy sitting on the dock or swimming and boating off the dock in the summer.

State of the art kitchen with a gas range, double convection ovens, magnificent granite counter tops, and a natural stone bar with soft lighting. Dining area connects the kitchen to the den, which has a huge stone fireplace, comfortable Bob Timberlake furnishings, and a 63' high definition plasma television with surround sound. Wet-bar in the den has a built-in ice maker, wine rack, and handy sink. Screened windows open in front and back to allow a wonderful cross breeze if desired.

Off the kitchen is a screened-in porch with rustic rocking chairs and tables. The huge deck, connected to the kitchen and den, is equipped with a gas grill and a small table for outside meals. Steps lead you downstairs to a raised wooded walkway to the dock.

Every room has an a full view of the water. You feel like you are in a tree house, which is where it got the name Tarheel Tree house! The main master bedroom has a large walk-in shower with dual shower heads.

Three bedrooms: 2 masters with queen beds, 1 bedroom with 2 queen beds. The beds are made for comfort with pillow-top mattresses and homestyle quilts. Bedrooms are decorated for with artwork and charming furniture.

The detached garage has a playroom above it with pool and foosball tables, along with a queen-size futon. It is not air-conditioned or heated, so it is most comfortable when temperatures allow for the window and door to be open for a cross-breeze.

There is one twin-sized foam mattress that can be moved to any room in the house for sleeping.

Beautiful vacation home in a great location
We really enjoyed staying at the Tar Heel House. It was just what we were looking for on our long weekend getaway with friends and family. It’s nestled back in the woods which gives you the feeling of being in the mountains. Every room in the house offered amazing views of the lake. Easy access putting the boats in at the marina. Lots of open water for skiing, wake surfing and tubing. The fishing was great as well. We caught a variety brim, crappy and catfish. We will definitely be booking and staying again.

Wonderful house, great fishing!
The large, very well equipped kitchen, table big enough for 8-10 people, and comfortable great room with huge TV. Comfy bedrooms, ALL with great views of the lake. Great fishing, right from the dock! And very responsive owners. We really enjoyed our stay. Warning: the driveway down to the house is steep and there are 56 steps down to the water. But that adds to the fun!

Wonderful Experience!
Beautiful home that was exactly as advertised. We were in the area for a family wedding and we totally enjoyed the house. The owners were even kind enough to buy an iron and ironing board so that we could iron our wedding clothes. Gorgeous view of the lake and lovely area. Definitely recommend this property.

Birthday Fun
We were celebrating my daughters 30th birthday. We had a great time on the lake, we took our corn hole and played on the deck. There was plenty of room for the family meals. Tarheel Tree House has all you need for lake fun and room for gathering...inside or out.

Absolutely Perfect!
I’ve stayed at a lot of rentals over the years and this one is by far the best! Although it is secluded and off the beaten path it has everything you could possibly need to feel at home and there was really no reason to leave. This was a staycation for us since we only live 20 minutes away but we wanted to enjoy some time on the lake and that we did! We fished from dawn to dusk and spent lazy time floating in water. I am particular about my cooking supplies and always being my own stuff but didn’t need any of it because the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, bowls, utensils, etc. Tons of outdoor seating in the 2 screened in porches, deck, and dock. The owners of this home spared no expense and we felt at home from the moment I arrived. We will definitely rent this gem again!

Lake house with a mountain vibe
We loved the location and all the trees provided a feeling of solitude. The dock was great for a quiet morning coffee, afternoon swims, and wonderful sunsets. We also enjoyed screen porches on two levels and outdoor deck space. Inside had plenty of space and we liked how the secondary bedrooms each had their own toilet/sink room with a shared shower in between. The owners were very responsive and helpful. There were 5 of us and we had plenty of room for meals, games, and just relaxing. We really enjoyed our time there.

You will not get better views than at this lake house. We had some gorgeous sunsets. The kids enjoyed the lake and the playroom. The house was big and pretty and clean. The only downside was there were not enough bath towels for our party. We will definitely be staying here again. We really enjoyed our stay.

The property was as described and as pictured. There were 2 dogs that visited, but we kept the gate up on the deck to prvent them from coming up while we were hanging out with family. They were not clean. We enjoy dogs, but didn't want to smell them while eating or hanging out.

Nice place
Very nice house in a quiet location. Most definitely enjoyed our stay. Only reason for 4 stars and not five is because the house was not as clean as expected (thick dust on kitchen floor, a lot of coffee grounds in the water compartment of coffee maker) and because there was no picture in listing to show the driveway which is important for those that plan to bring a boat to the lake. Had to back down the driveway which is very steep and winding. The neighbor has two dogs that will visit but they are friendly. The house also has a mini kids playroom which my son absolutely loved. Definitely recommend staying here.

Relaxing and fun weekend getaway with brothers
My brother's and myself really enjoyed this house. The house was very comfortable and cozy. The listing is as advertised. It's not close to anything. Grocery stores and gas stations are about 15 to 20 minutes away so if the drive isn't bad then this is a very great place. The instructions from the host were very clear and spot on. The neighbors did have a dog that kept coming over and laying on the front porch but was very nice. They also had a second more aggressive dog that chased in the house on the last night but outside of that definitely enjoyed our stay.
