Rainbow's End Mountain Lake House

You've found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow in this comfortable, stylish mountain lake house! The house sits on 4 acres with a private dock on Rainbow Lake. Whether you want to relax by the stone fireplace in the vaulted wood ceilings of the great room, cozy up with a good book in the hip and funky loft area, or enjoy the fresh mountain air in the large screened-in porch, this house has it all. There's a remote work station with 2 monitors, universal docking station and printer.
This cozy cottage is the perfect getaway for a relaxing retreat in the mountains, or an ideal space to “work from home” in a new environment. The living room is warm and inviting with a comfy sectional sofa to enjoy a movie on the 70” smart tv.
The kitchen is spacious with ample counter space, and all amenities provided! Enjoy a home cooked meal or a game night on the large dining room table which seats 6 comfortably. Fire up the grill and take advantage of the large patio dining area with cafe lights to enjoy a meal al fresco. Off the patio is a separate, screened in porch with plenty of seating options for you and your friends!

Downstairs there is an updated full bath, with a glass walk-in rainfall shower, a spacious bedroom with a king bed, and a washer and dryer. Upstairs you can find a second living space in the loft, a work from home area, a full bathroom, and another spacious bedroom with a queen bed.
For all you digital nomads out there, the work from home area is complete with everything you will need in your new “home” office: dual monitors, universal docking station, wireless printer, wireless keyboard and mouse, and a large workspace to boot!
Enjoy a restful nights sleep on the most comfortable beds (seriously).
There is a set of corn hole boards on the downstairs patio. Follow the path down the backyard to Rainbow Lake (your own private lake)…feel free to take the canoe out for a spin, or just relax in the rocking Adirondack chairs on the private dock.

We have an electric vehicle (EV) outlet for guests use. It is a NEMA 14-50 outlet that is a 50 Amp 240 Volt - this allows your EV to be fully charged overnight during your stay!

Perfect Getaway Home

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is super cozy with the built in fireplace and split floor / loft layout. Deck and backyard were great. Fenced in yard for the dog, and ample space to relax outside. Far enough away from other homes to enjoy some peace and quiet and conveniently located near Lake Toxaway, Brevard, and Cashiers.

Beautiful Mountain House Getaway / Top Notch Host

This property exceeded all of expectations with its beautiful location and attention to detail. The house appears to have been recently updated and is by far one of the nicer mountain homes we have seen on VRBO. The owner and host answered all of our questions within minutes and assured that our stay here was the best it could be. We would highly recommend this property.

The Lake House

This house was beautiful, well maintained and stocked with a great selection of cookware and dishes. There is an ice maker in the fridge so no need to worry about ice. The roads are very curvy not good for those that get car sick easily. The drive way has a very steep decline. The lake is small a quite a walk from the house. There is another lake just up the road and the owner has two stand up paddle boards for you to use. Overall the experience was very peaceful and relaxing.

Great Stay at Rainbow’s End

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rainbow’s End. Matt was a great host. The house is beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds and furniture. It was chilly during our stay, so we greatly appreciated the fireplace with ample stock of firewood. The kitchen is terrific with lots of counter and storage space, as well as nice pots, dishes, etc. We would not hesitate to stay here again and hope to return soon.

Beautiful Cabin

We loved this cabin! It was just as great in person as the pictures- it was clean, new, lovely decor, cozy, great back porch and nice wooded area around the property! The owner was prompt and helpful with any of our questions or concerns! The location was perfect, b/w Cashiers and Brevard. We plan to be back.

Not So Rustic!

This place was very well appointed. I loved how they had things like spices and paper towels! We felt comfortable right away, everything in its right place. The dock was a nice hangout spot, along with the cornhole porch. We had loads of fun--highly recommend it!

Pot of Gold at Rainbow’s End.
