About this property

Cozy mountain home on Private Lake

  • Escape to a peaceful lakefront cottage on beautiful Lake Sheila, tucked away in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Surrounded by natural beauty and offering direct access to the water, this inviting retreat is an ideal place to slow down, unplug, and spend meaningful time with family and friends.

    Start each morning with a cup of coffee on the porch as the sun rises over the lake. During the day, relax beside the water, enjoy the spacious yard, or step outside to the private dock just beyond the back door. As evening approaches, settle back on the porch and take in the quiet surroundings and scenic lake views.

    This property is especially well suited for guests looking to escape the constant pull of screens, notifications, and busy schedules. We have wifi, but please know the internet service in this mountain setting is limited and may not support reliable streaming or video calls.

    When you’re ready to explore, downtown Saluda is just a short drive away. Spend the day browsing its charming shops, enjoying local restaurants, or discovering the area’s small-town character. The cottage also provides a convenient home base for visiting Flat Rock, Hendersonville, Brevard, Greenville, and Asheville, each offering its own mix of dining, shopping, arts, and mountain experiences.

    Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a getaway with friends, or a quiet weekend away, this lake cottage offers a beautiful setting for rest, connection, and lasting memories.

A slice of paradise

Our vacation in Saluda was peaceful with amazing views of the lake. We had all the comforts of home while enjoying nature. We loved kayaking, fishing, exercising on the dock and relaxing on the screened in porch.

A Quiet Get-away!

Such a nice cabin - clean, spacious, well organized and comfy. The kitchen was well outfitted and fit our needs perfectly as we cook our own meals when we travel. Super solid internet too! And ample parking space for 3 vehicles was great. We'll be back next year.

Fabulous - wish we could have stayed longer!

We throughly enjoyed our time at this property. The cleanliness superb, the beds were great and chairs down at the dock had us enjoying the late afternoons while our group kayaked, fished, swam or just relaxed as we chatted with the fabulous lake friends we made. We learned alot about what to see from those evening on the water from the locals. We look forward to coming back and appreciate all the owners have done to make it such a fabulous vacation spot.

Loved the Lake

We enjoyed the king beds, the ability to bring our dog, and the proximity to a variety of places to sightsee. The lake was fascinating to view the changes over the course of our stay. Walking around the lake was a daily activity. Our only disappointment was the s-l-o-w internet. We are looking forward a return visit next fall!

Tranquility Base

We had never known about Lake Sheila (we live in Greenville, SC) until coming up this past weekend. First off the surroundings at fall were gorgeous. Peaceful, quiet, just what we needed. Second, the house was an absolute gem. Clean, beautiful furniture, it had everything we would ever need. If we were not sitting at the dock, we sat for hours in the screened in porch, even slept out there one night. In a note to the owner, I wrote "wow, just wow."

A Little Piece of Heaven!

Lake Sheila is a beautiful clear water private lake in Saluda N.C. This property and about 35 others have direct access to the lake. The house is very well maintained and clean. The lake views from the upper screened porch & lower covered patio are spectacular. The owners supply inflatable water tubes and two kayaks for visitors. You have a private dock as well. We will be making a yearly visit with family. My grandchildren loved swimming & paddling the lake. Us too!

Relaxing Weekend!

The property owners were amazing. I received very detailed directions and we were able to locate the property without difficulty, even in the dark. The property itself was way better than we expected. It was so peaceful and quiet. The screened porch was perfect for enjoying morning coffee. The kitchen is very well stocked with anything you need for cooking. The beds were comfortable. The layout was perfect for relaxing and taking in views of the lake. The location is perfect. It is close enough to everything, but also a perfect location if you didn’t want to leave the lake. There are kayaks to use, board games etc… Truly cannot say enough about this place. We will definitely be returning!

Great host and home directly Lake Sheila offering an optimal view of the lake. This was our second stay at this home as the view of the lake from the patio, living room, and backyard/dock is amazing. The home is most comfortable and warm in the winter. The host is most helpful and responsive. I hope to return again next year.

Great experience-

This was such a great property I wish I could keep it a secret. The beds are comfortable and the screened porch is perfect for all times of the day. The lake was clear and nice to float on. We were close to several good restaurants. We hope to rent again!
