    A few of my favorite things to do!: My favorite thing to do is take in the beautiful scenery, it is
    truly special. Then cook out on the grill, sit on our log chairs on the deck and listen to nature
    make it's way into the night.

    Hike along the dirt roads
    and trails and you could see a deer. Nearby is white water rafting, my son and myself had a blast!
    Then we went gem mining and found some great gems.

    All in all it's a unique experience that adults and kids will enjoy and remember for a lifetime!

We enjoyed our time as well as the location. The host did a great job in communicating and proactively reached out to us proir to arrival. We enjoyed having the ability to cook a lot of food at once on the Blackstone. The weather was nice and we most definitely enjoyed playing several rounds on the pool table.

Greg, our host was amazing! He made sure we had all of our important information (directions to cabin and cabin instructions for hot tub and other amenities) ahead of visit. He also checked in frequently to make sure everything was going well for us The cabin speaks for itself! This beautiful all wood cabin was extremely clean, completely furnished with kitchenware, linens, towels and even toiletry items just in case you forgot something. The scenery around the cabin is breathtaking with clear views of the mountains and the lake. There are plenty of entertainment options to keep everyone in the family occupied, including but not limited to, the hot tub, pool table, corn hole, a game room furnished with plenty of games and puzzles, two fire pits, plenty of water toys and so much more. It was spacious, cozy and very welcoming. If you are looking for the perfect cabin for a mountain retreat, this cabin is pure serenity! We can't wait for our next stay!

The beds very so comfortable I have not slept on a more comfortable mattress in a while. Each room had their own private bathroom even the room for the kids.

Beautiful spacious well equipped house. En suite bathrooms for each bedroom a plus. Tucked into the mountains with beautiful views on a protected cove with a great dock for boating swimming and sunning.Steep driveway and winding roads make getting in and out less easily accessible but well worth the trip. Communication with Greg were always prompt.

Fantastic Lake Cabin

We stayed at this lake cabin for four nights and could not be happier with the accommodations. It is a beautiful clean home that feels like truly like a home. They offer so much more than just a clean lakefront home... paddle boards, kayaks, a firepit, hot tub, amazing lake views. Fantastic experience here.

Great house, beautiful view!

The layout of the house was great and we really enjoyed the large decks/porches where we spent hours enjoying the view and watching the birds at the feeders. The kitchen was well equipped which made meal making a pleasure. The hot tub was wonderful and larger than most we have seen at other rentals. Greg was a great host. He gave us all the info we needed for our stay at the house up front so we had an easy check in and stay. I would definitely stay here again when it is warmer to enjoy all the lake activities

Perfect!

My husband and I came here hoping to see the leaves doing their thing, while relaxing in what we hoped would be a pretty setting. We got more than we hoped for. Staying on the lake while still having the Mountain View’s was the best of both worlds. The home was lovely, the lake was beautiful and the area was quiet. We had a great stay.

Property was large and clean with amazing views of the lake and mountains. Greg was a pleasure to work with. At no fault of the owner, the property is a little difficult to access, there was road/underground utility construction, and a home renovation happening next door (Greg kindly notified us in advance). All in all a great experience and definitely a 5 star property.

Perfect cabin, beautiful mountains!

We just got home from a week at the Cabin. None of us wanted to go home, the cabin was perfect. We even spent extra days just at the cabin and enjoying the Lake. Greg gave us very detailed instructions and answered any questions we had promptly! The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed and then some. The internet was a little slow, but we were just happy to have internet in the Mountains. We had a couple beautiful mountain storms come through. I think we might have lost power, but if we did it wasn't obvious because of the Generac generator. If you are planning a trip to NC this cabin is a must!

Beautiful cabin

We truly enjoyed our fall break at this cabin! The lake is gorgeous. We took advantage of the kayaks and fire pit. The space was perfect for us with our 17 year old daughter and 9 year old son. They each had their own room which they loved. The view of the lake from every room and each balcony and the hot tub is perfection! We left a couple of times and went into Murphy for the River Walk and then Highlands for some shopping and lunch. Greg was super helpful with questions while we were there. Loved everything about it!

Wonderful family time!

We spent Thanksgiving week at Serenity Cove. Our teen and young adult family members and their parents really enjoyed kayaking and exploring a small island in the lake. The fire pit was a big hit as well. Day trips to hike, and see waterfalls were fun even in the cold weather. I am sure the view from the decks at this lake house are beautiful year round. Would love to return in warm weather. Highly recommend, if you enjoy peace and quiet or are a thrill seeker. There is something for everyone to enjoy, both inside and outside the home!

Incredible Getaway

Couldn't ask for better scenery or property amenities, being tucked away in the mountains! The kayaks and paddle boards were MUCH appreciated. Views from the decks were one-of-a-kind, and the night sky totally captivating. The water is very clear and clean, and the fire pit was a nice touch and use of the outdoor space. I will note that for anyone with knee issues, this is probably not the easiest location for mobility, so please read through other reviews before determining if this is the right property for you. The property manager was very responsive, and provided helpful insight regarding our route to the cabin -- which would have had us on the Tail of the Dragon after a long day of travel (we did take this route back home, and while challenging, it was an awesome experience).

Great Property and Owner

Can’t say enough about the property and the owner. The cabin was just what I wanted for my girlfriend’s 40th birthday get away. You are about 15 mins from a main road. You overlook the lake and at night it is just the sound of nature. We had some issues that the owner took care of promptly and we had great communication. Probably the cleanest VRBO/home stay I have had in a very long time. So many times it seems like the cleaning fee is an excuse to get extra money but in this place you can tell it is put to use. Things to know: Verizon service was 0. The WiFi is satellite so there are restrictions on downloads and streaming. I was able to work from the cabin over VPN but Teams meetings was a bit sketchy. The cabin is 1.5miles down a dirt road which if you have a low car can take some effort. The driveway is steep and cars will need some speed to get up it but we have a Malibu and I never worried it wasn’t going to make it after the first time. I highly recommend downloading the map of the area on Google. Take your time and read the road signs don’t rely completely on GPS.
