Great house, gorgeous location! Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, we have 5 acres of rolling hills and hardwood forest, directly on 400' of waterfront. Plenty of space to let the kids and pets run around! Only 45 minutes from Charlotte, but worlds away from the hustle and bustle.

Moss Lake is a quiet, spring-fed lake that is very clean (it’s the primary water supply for Kings Mountain) where you can canoe, fish, water ski and jet ski without the mayhem of other lakes near Charlotte. Close to Kings Mountain, Historic Shelby, Crowders Mountain, Schiele Museum, golf courses AND other attractions - there is plenty to do if you want to get out and about.

The waterfront includes a large private dock with mooring cleats, only a few minutes from a public landing so getting your boat there is a breeze! With state-record bass, it’s perfect for early morning anglers; with stunning views, it’s perfect for a sunset canoe ride. Or, kick into high gear with your jet ski or power boat. Whatever your pleasure, you’ll enjoy your water sports away from the crowds for a relaxing and fun experience.

On the property is a charming farmhouse with two bedrooms and one bath specifically set up for accommodating and entertaining large groups (owners have 5 kids, who all bring their friends for overnight sleep-overs!) With a queen-sized bed in the master bedroom, two sets of bunk beds in the other bedroom, as well as a futon and pullout sofa in the great room - which all mean you can sleep up to 10 comfortably. Includes full kitchen, washer/dryer, new water heater, A/C, etc. HDTV with DVD player, and a bunch of popular movies for your use. We even have a closet full of books, puzzles and board games if the kids ever wear out from all the fun in the sun.

Check out the 'Link to more information' below for lots of pictures and more info on the home, the lake, and stuff to do in Shelby and Kings Mountain.

This is truly a 'hidden gem' we are renting out again this year - discover it, and love it like we do!

PLEASE NOTE: THIS HOUSE HAS BEEN RENTED UNTIL MAY 27, 2013. PLEASE BOOK EARLY FOR SUMMER 2013, THANK YOU!

                    One of the most scenic views on the lake. Easy access to the boat landing. The kids loved the fact that they could swim right off the end of the dock. This was one of the best vacations we've had as a family. We got to enjoy each others company while we chilled by the water. THANKS!

                    My grandchildren 3 & 6 loved it there. They were able to get in and out of the lake by themselves and swim safely(huge plus). The view is beautiful, lake clear, quite lake, and not on top of neighbors. Many great eating places, shopping of all kinds and movies close by but not too close..

                    Our stay during the Thanksgiving holiday was fabulous! The house was exactly as described, and the view was beautiful! We brought along our Golden Retriever, who thoroughly enjoyed playing in the yard and in the lake as well. Would recommend highly to anyone looking to stay in the area.

                    Love the house's homey feel, and the dock was perfect - spent all of our time down there. The kids never wiped the smiles off their faces. Loved it lots! Thanks, guys!

                    Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy Moss Lake. The children loved fishing and swimming, and we all appreciated the wonderful breezes! This was a great location to enjoy family time together, especially while my brother is here from serving in Afghanistan and returns to Germany Air Force base next week!

                    What a little slice of beautiful nature you have here - with all the "modern" amenities! Your property is peaceful and inviting, and the lake view is quite a wonderful tonic for the "on-the-go-too-much-suburban-family". We absolutely enjoyed ourselves, the large dock and the boat were our "hangouts". We will brag (aka...recommend) to our Charleston friends and would like to return with [extended family]. This was family time at its best!
