About this property

What's summer without getting wet? Do it at Lake Summit!

Are water sports your thing? Come stay on beautiful Lake Summit. It's THE place to get wet! Enjoy everything from motorboat sports to first class fishing or just getting a tan. For anglers, it's home to dozens of species of fish. The Green River runs right through it so you can take your canoe up river all the way to the head waters for great trout fishing. It's only 30 minutes from the best trout streams around, the Mills, Davidson and Green Rivers. (You will need a NC resident or nonresident fishing license if you don’t have one.) There's a kayak for guest use or you can bring your boat with a registration fee of $60. We have a boathouse and dock to make your stay even better... perfect for tanning, eating lunch on the picnic table or just reading a book. For the athletes, it is a great place to take a long run or bike ride around the long, winding perimeter road…it’s about 9 miles around the lake.

The house has two bedrooms with a queen bed in each and 1½ baths (the half bath/laundry room is accessible from a boardwalk that wraps around the exterior left side of the house so you don’t have to go through the house wet), wood floors, tall ceilings, large kitchen, comfortable beds, great linens, and a large covered front porch with a poetic view of the lake. There's a TV and DVD player, but no cable, wi-fi or satellite...but who needs it when you have all that water to play in, right?

We have repeat guests that have stayed with us for years and we’d love for you to come for your own stay. We also host families whose children attend one of the three summer camps on the lake. It’s really a wonderful spot.

Wonderful location at this cottage on the lake
Our family of four stayed in this cottage, and the views are absolutely beautiful! Make sure to get down on the dock and enjoy the lake. We enjoyed fishing and taking in the sun. The cottage decor is updated from the photos and was a pleasant surprise. Beds are comfortable and there is a newer sofa bed in the living room. The kitchen had everything we needed. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Delightful stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Lake Summit! Laura and Nate could not have been more gracious and helpful. The house was immaculate and super-clean. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen and linen closet were well-stocked. Everything worked. We loved sitting on the porch with wonderful lake views. The dock was great, too. We look forward to our next stay!

Great getaway cabin
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Summit View. There is a nice front porch and a well-stocked kitchen and plenty of room for three adults to move around. Great view from the porch. Very responsive host.

Fantastic No Frills Cabin
My family and I had a wonderful long weekend on the property. The home is a perfect for a getaway where you’re looking to unplug. We had a wonderful time swimming off the dock and sitting on the porch at night. We hope to be back soon!

absolutely perfect getaway!
Everything a mountain lake cottage should be - comfortable and charming, with incredible views. Extremely clean and well appointed. Property manager Laura and her husband Nate are incredible - made checkin and checkout very easy - and went out of their way to make sure we had a great trip. Can't thank them enough. Overall fantastic experience.

Another relaxing week on Lake Summit
For us, there is no better place to relax and recharge our batteries than Lake Summit and a week at this property was no exception. I was worried at first about the lack of satellite and internet service but the fact is that made it even better. The house is small and simple (and clean!) and the folks managing it are delightful. Check-in couldn't have been easier and within minutes we were sitting on the porch unwinding with cocktails. This end of the lake gets the midday and afternoon sun, so for the least sunburn, get out early or just be sure to wear plenty of sunscreen if you go out later. It's not obvious from the road but the location of the boathouse and the next door neighbor's property makes a nice little cove to float in without drifting into the boating traffic. The bathroom takes a little getting used to. The tub inside the shower is odd and it takes some fiddling to get the shower curtain just right so the water doesn't spray beyond the enclosure. The water heats fast, though, and the pressure is great. Closets, like the rest of the house, are small. We used one bedroom for sleeping and the other for dressing but we tend to sprawl. We had a great time here and will definitely include it on our list of go-to properties on the lake, especially when it's just the two of us.

Easy to be in this little White House with an enjoyable porch and very comfortable beds. The property manager makes sure you have everything you need including a goody basket. She responds quickly to any need. We never turned on the TV so had a needed respite from the news.

Great stay for someone 6 or 86.
Had a wonderful family getaway with our grandkids. The kitchen is big and roomy and I loved the table with benches. The porch was great at nite and first thing in the morning watching the lake wake up. My father lived close by and is 84. He was able to wade into the lake and float in a life jacket. It was wonderful to see him be able to relax like that. Laura was very helpful in explaining the locks and what not. She was quick to answer any questions you might have. Thanks Laura for some awesome family memories.

Amazing
We were SO impressed with this VRBO. We booked this for a quick weekend to the mountains and we’re absolutely delighted with this gem of a house. Probably one of the cleanest rentals we have stayed it and accurately described. My husband and I forgot the air mattress but were pleasantly surprised to find the couch pulled out so both our teens could have their own sleep space. The beds, linens, and pillows were all very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with the basics for coffee and cooking. The boathouse and dock were amazing! The kids enjoyed the kayaks, hitting golf balls in to the water, swimming, and throwing balls for the dogs. We brought 2 baby gates to keep the dogs enclosed on the porch and at the dock-worked out well. Loved the little sandy beach area too! Restaurants in Saluda are minutes away and Hendersonville is a quick drive. We will be back!!! Thank you for sharing your home.
