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.

Great location on lovely Lake Summit

The cabin is amazing - secluded but not too far from town - just right really. Great layout and everything you need. Look forward to coming back in slightly warmer weather :) AP

This is our second time in this property and the only thing wrong was that we only had the weekend and not a whole week (or longer).

Quaint Cottage

Came here for World Equestrian Games at Tryon, the house was perfect for us - loved coffee on the porch overlooking the lake. The weather didn't cooperate for much lake time, but that didn't spoil the trip. Host was responsive, and we had a very nice stay.

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!

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!

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.

Lake Perfection

We’ve stayed at this cottage years ago and were pleased with the upgrades they’ve made since the. We loved the house then and love it even more now. It’s charming and had the best view of Lake Summit. We especially love the simple large kitchen where we made dinners and enjoyed family time. We will plan on renting it again next summer!

Perfect lake cottage

I stayed at the house with my adult daughter, nephew, and dogs. Absolutely loved it—the view of the lake from the porch is amazing and a quick walk across the street to the boat house and dock with canoe and kayaks. The house is lovely (the pictures don’t do it justice and was great to have all linens/towels, a fully equipped kitchen and w/d. Laura and her husband were quickly responsive to questions and were very helpful when we managed to lock ourselves out of the house our first night there. Hope to return next summer!

Most relaxing weekend

This little bungalow was the perfect mountain getaway. It was hard to leave! Such a charming house with a great view of the lake and large porch to view it from. The house had everything we needed as far as space and kitchen. There is no WiFi, but we did not miss it one bit! We honestly didn’t even realize we hadn’t turned on a TV (there is one for DVDs) or computer the entire time until we were already home. It felt so nice to unplug and just enjoy the beautiful mountains, lake, and company of friends. The boathouse was great for swimming, sunbathing, and canoeing (provided). Perfect spot for a picnic lunch. I haven’t felt so relaxed in months. Can’t wait to go back!

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.
