Enjoy the beautiful sunsets by the fireplace or outdoor fire pit!

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 are 3 twin-sized foam mattresses that can be moved to any room in the house for overflow sleeping.

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.

Fantastic Home!
Beautiful home with great views. We were very comfortable here for our 7 days. The playroom under the stairs is a great bonus. The hosts are nice and neighbor dogs are quite friendly. Very relaxing place to stay. Would definitely stay again!!
