Wake up to breathtaking lakefront views and soak in the peace of nature at Wild Sunrise Retreat. This spacious getaway sits on deep water with its own one-slip dock (owner’s boat occupies the slip, but guests are welcome to tie off on the side). Perfect for families, couples, or small groups looking to relax and reconnect, this home is designed to maximize both comfort and scenery. Step inside and enjoy a bright living room with huge windows framing the lake, a fully stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs, and a cozy sunroom with extra dining and sitting space perfect for your morning coffee. Upstairs offers two bedrooms — one with a king bed and one with a queen bed — plus a full bath. Downstairs is perfect for families, featuring two open-concept bedrooms separated by a wall and room divider with one queen bed and three single beds, a convenient kitchenette/bar area, and an additional bath. Outside, relax on the spacious patio with a gas fireplace and comfy seating, fire up the gas grill for a lakeside cookout, sway in the hammock with a water view, or take out the included kayaks for a paddle. Direct water access makes it easy to dock your boat on the side. Pet Friendly (With Conditions): We welcome trained, non-shedding breeds with a pet fee. Dogs must stay off furniture and bedding, be crated when left unattended, and remain leashed outside. Bringing a shedding breed against the rules will result in a $100 additional cleaning fee if excessive hair is left behind. Whether you’re here for fishing, boating, or simply soaking up the sunrise with coffee in hand, Wild Sunrise Retreat is your perfect lakefront escape. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/123000000/122870000/122864100/122864081/7d6c769a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rock Ridge Buncombe - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-04&endDate=2026-02-05&selected=122864081&PinnedHotelID=122864081&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120460000/120453800/120453800/8c70775b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Log cabin with walkout basement and loft located on Ohio River’s edge.
