    A gorgeous setting both inside and out, this luxury home on the shores of Lake Toxaway is a place for taking in the quiet beauty of the North Carolina highlands. In this blissfully tranquil spot, you'll have a small dock at the water's edge, a canoe, a kayak, and life jackets to take out each morning.

    This three-story lakefront home is full of understated luxury and style. Begin each day on the ground floor, working out in the well-equipped gym with two TVs, readying the canoe and kayak for a morning paddle, and sipping your coffee on the flagstone patio overlooking the lake.

    Moving upstairs, you'll find the main living spaces on the third floor, including an inviting family room with foldable glass doors that open to a covered deck. Adjoining this room is an elegant kitchen with stainless steel appliances, including a French-door refrigerator and a gas stove. There's also a farm sink and a large island with bar seating. There's also a formal dining room and plentiful outdoor seating for evening barbecues prepared on the Big Green Egg.

    There are two top-floor bedrooms- one lakefront room with an en suite bathroom and direct deck access and another with an en suite bathroom and a connected study that serves as a fantastic work-from-home space with a computer, copier, and printer. The second-floor bunk room offers a lake-facing play area for the kids.

    some basic things I thought the property could improve on: fireplace (even fake gas logs would be nice) firepit on back patio king beds in both upstairs bedrooms large tv over the fireplace I figure the owner knows this and its his/her personal preferences, but most renters would appreciate these small upgrades. it is a nice house with outstanding view and we enjoyed our stay!

    We enjoyed our stay at the home. Checkout the CDs for the Bose player in the study. Definitely an unexpected treat. The boys even danced to the classical music!

    Gorgeous home on mountain lake
    My family spent a week here and we loved it. The home is beautiful inside and out. Everyone enjoyed paddling on the lake, hiking the nearby trails, and hanging out on the patio. We honestly did not want to leave and we look forward to returning someday!

    Great Weekend Trip!
    House and amenities were as promised or better. Plenty of space for conversation and relaxation. House is suitable for couples or a family with kids. Third bedroom has only bunk beds so not ideal for adults but a minor issue. Instructions are needed to operate TVs and remotes as we were unable to use. Nevertheless, a great overall house with relaxing water and mountain views. Will visit again.

    Lakeside heaven
    We enjoyed a wonderful week at Casa de Yayo. The home is beautifully decorated and has ample space to relax. The porch has a stunning view of the lake and was a favorite place to enjoy coffee and cocktails. The 2 bedrooms on the main floor were large and comfortable. There is a queen in the master (with a huge bathroom!) and a full in the guest room. The bunk room below provides great additional sleeping space if needed, but has 6 twin beds, which might not be ideal for couples. It worked beautifully for our crew and we loved being in such a lovely home! We will be back! Also tucked into a very quiet area on the lake.
