Map & Owner's Profile
Peaceful Lakefront Getaway
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Mountain Rest
We purchased this home in 2005 as a second home. We completely renovated the property, installing all new flooring, new appliances, new lighting, and furnished it to be a relaxing and enjoyable place to retreat to with our children on the weekends and during the summer months. We love to kayak, canoe, fish, and just relax as a family and want this home to be a place where our friends and family can do the same. Our hope is that you will find your time here to be relaxing and allow you to reconnect with your family while enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Canoe and kayaks available upon request. Kayak instruction is available from qualified instructor upon request and based upon availability.
Owner's Map of Mountain Rest
My husband and I have three children and purchased this home as a place to getaway on the weekends with them and potentially be a place we may want to retire some day. We love retreating here on the weekends for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, reading a good book, shopping in Highlands, NC., taking our boat to Lake Jocassee during the summer and just being together as a family.
