Comfy and Spacious Lake House

Easy to find and check-in, and plenty of helpful information (and welcome gift!) provided by the hosts. The house was just as pictured and comfortably fit our combined families (7 people total). The neighborhood was very peaceful. We only stayed for a few days, but the house had everything we needed to feel right at home - full kitchen utensils and appliances, laundry, grill, and 3 bathrooms! The back deck was wonderful with so much seating and nice views of the lake yet plenty of privacy. We spent a lot of our time there! The dock was a long way down but the stairs had enough landings to make it easy enough going back up. It was also great sitting down there. The property owner responded quickly to the question we had and she was super helpful when we accidentally left a few things behind. We would definitely stay again for our next visit with family!

Castaway cottage

Nice home. The covered deck with a sitting area and a table for dining was a huge plus. We spent most of our time there or down on the dock. We had a wonderful time. The steps going upstairs are a bit steep and that information might need to be included in the description. They could be hard to navigate for the elderly or someone carrying a baby or toddler up

Great getaway!

Nice lakefront home, good size for our family of four. Very clean and well stocked in a quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed fishing, grilling and time with the family on the large covered deck. Lots of stairs going to the water and the stairs going up to 2 bedrooms were very steep, but not an issue for us. It would’ve been nice to have had working TVs in the bedrooms - mostly for the teenagers! Had a wonderful time overall and definitely recommend!

Nice lake house

So nice to have a little lake house with a dock. We rented a pontoon from the marina. The kids had fun as well. Just enough space for our 7 people who came with us. Kitchen was well supplied and we cooked our meals. Thank you!

This was our second stay at Castaway Cottage. Lovely view of the lake in a rural, quiet subdivision. Our hosts, as always, attentive and accommodating. If you like getting up in the morning, relaxing with a cup of coffee and watching water-birds on the lake, this is the location for you.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Laferriere

Host profile image
I am a licensed Realtor in NC. One of our favorite past times is boating. Our dogs love to go "pontooning" (you can rent a pontoon boat down the shoreline with High Rock Lake Marina). We love to relax on the back deck with friends and family and enjoy the view of the lake with all it's wildlife viewing and entertainment. The swim ladder off the dock is a gradual step ladder for ease of access (dogs too). The back deck is very comfortable for dining, lounging and enjoying the view.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property because I love lake living. I especially enjoy boating (pontooning); relaxing on the large back deck with my favorite beverage and a good book. We thoroughly enjoy hanging out watching the geese and ducks fly by as well as all the other birds and fish jumping. Grilling and chilling on the covered deck is my idea of a good relaxing time.

What makes this property unique

This home is located on the main channel. There are two free boat ramp launches just down Highway 8; Buddle Creek for this side of the bridge and Wildlife Recreation Area for the large part of the lake. Rock Outdoors sells fishing licenses. Several decks to sit and enjoy the lake and all the recreation you choose to enjoy. Easy access to restaurants (area is known for it's BBQ), shopping, movie theaters, vineyards, breweries, museums and many other items of interest. Property has cable and internet.
