About this property

Nights in March and April discounted to 150 per night! Summer Calendar Open!

In a NO WAKE COVE with a GENTLY SLOPED LOT! Fast WIFI INCLUDED! We recently purchased this home and have painted and updated the furnishings. It is clean and comfortable with plenty of space for everyone! It is in a perfect mid-lake location, near the State Park at marker R-21.

Inside you will find fresh new linens and decor, comfortable furniture and brand new kitchen appliances. There is plenty to do to keep everyone busy on a rainy day or after sunset. There are 4 new flat screen TV's with Xfinity service, unlimited data wifi, a pool table, air hockey table, and foosball table, and an arcade style game machine.

Outside, it only gets better! This is what you come to the lake for! Huge new deck with plenty of seating and a large grilling area. The deck has expansive views of the cove and beautiful sunsets. There is a gentle slope to the dock that even the grandparents can do, with a pathway the whole way. There is a covered seating area at the dock, a floater with plenty of room to tie off a boat, and DEEP water. The dock is nestled just inside a no wake area, making it great for swimming and kayaking. There is an outdoor firepit with comfy new adirondack chairs. Also, new for 2021, we have removed the wooden pathway to the lake and replaced it with a concrete pathway!

Occupancy limit is set to 6 due to limitations of Bedford County rental permit.

Winter Getaway Weekend

My husband and I, and two other couples, stayed a long weekend at Challenge Accepted. The house more than met our expectations. There was plenty of room for all of us to have our own space, but also room for all six of us to watch a movie together. We spent as much time on the deck enjoying the view as the weather would allow. The walk to the dock was easy, and I would have loved to have had a fire in the firepit, but it was too windy. The property was clean, well-stocked, and the owner was very responsive. We highly recommend it and will stay at Challenge Accepted again!
