About this property
Winter Escape to a luxurious Lakehouse retreat. Off-season specials!
This lake home truly defines luxury!
Our custom-built luxury waterfront lake home is what you hoped Lake Living would be, with jaw-dropping lake views and plenty of room for 10 guests to play, relax, and renew. Great water views with two levels of covered decking! Rent a boat or bring your own, and tie up to our stationary pier. Open floor plan with great Lake Views on two levels. The 5-bedroom home, ideally situated on a gently sloping lot, marries elegant lake living with convenience to all your water activities. It is here that friends gather to enjoy a sunset on the porch. It is here that the chef’s kitchen beckons a gourmet meal. It is here, too, that you will find the glistening lake, just steps from your door. Our lake home is ideally situated for the nature lover at the mouth of calm Swearing Creek yet with access to the main channel. Enjoy being steps from an outdoor playground or gather with friends and bask in the warmth of the outdoor firepit. The high level of fit and finish ensures elegant entertaining. The architecture and design of the plan flow naturally with the surrounding lake location offering a lake experience in communion with the land. The house itself is gorgeous, and was designed and built by a builder with all the special touches to be his personal getaway. Open floor plan allows guests to enjoy the gourmet kitchen which flows into the dining room (seats 8) and the living room (seats 10). There are also 6 barstools surrounding the expansive kitchen bar. Everything you think of as luxury (granite countertops, custom bath cabinetry, stainless steel) is present in the home.
We are perfect for a family and friend gatherings, special occasions (wedding and engagement parties), Barbecue Festival groups, Furniture Market groups and just relaxing at the lake. Close to High Point, Charlotte, Greensboro and Winston Salem.

Motor to one of the two boat-up restaurants, both full of local colorful flavor, often featuring live music and other events. For those wishing a quiet getaway, wildlife and bird watching is excellent! Or fish straight from the pier. Some beautiful fish have been pulled from this lake, which often hosts fishing tournaments.

Kitchen had all needed appliances and pots and pans for easy cooking. Very spacious living space and bedrooms made it easy for six adults and two children.

We love a very clean house (and we are picky as well) so I will pass your compliments on to our maid.
Have a great fall and winter!

We had Polar Express tickets and this was the perfect location. Although the weather was cold, the lake view was beautiful to wake up too. The house was fully stocked with everything needed, very spacious and very clean. Since we had a toddler really appreciated how family friendly and child proof the house was. Would definitely love to stay again!

Oh thank you so much! Every weekend in December we have somebody coming for the Polar express. This happens every year. And I love how our home has become a bit of a polar express central in terms of people staying here and bringing their families.
I’m so happy you appreciated how toddler-proof it was! I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we also have that big gate that you can put across the stairs that leads to the lake. So your toddler can hang out on the porch without worry of them running down to the lake! Our children are now grown, but I wish that we had owned the place when they were little, because the Polar express sounds magical! We hope to welcome you back again next year.
Beautiful home!! We enjoyed our stay and appreciated how clean and well maintained the house was. The only recommendation we have would be lighting at the driveway for people arriving after dark.

Hello Lisa!
Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and found the house to be clean and well maintained.
We love guest suggestions, so I'll look into getting some solar lights to line the drive. The motion sensor lights should have come on, but I know you need the car to get a bit close for that to happen. Have a great holiday season!
Took a trip for my 48th birthday celebration. A group of our friends from NC. We decided to stay in this Vrbo so we could all be together as much as possible It was great!!! best equipped VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. If we ever get down this way again we would stay here again in a heartbeat

Hi Katrina. Wow, the "best equipped VRBO we’ve ever stayed in"... I'm blushing! We do pride ourselves on thinking of all the little things that make a stay special. So glad we could be part of your birthday celebration! Cheers to many more!
This was the perfect place for our Girls Weekend getaway! The house was beautiful and spacious with plenty of room for everyone, and the lake offered the perfect backdrop for a weekend of relaxing and decompressing. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Great property on the lake! We stayed here for a wedding weekend, as our nephew was getting married nearby. Was perfect for everyone, grandparents to teenaged grandkids — loved sitting on dock, paddle boarding, etc

Hello Molly and congrats again on the wedding of your nephew. We love being a part of those special occasions. I'm glad you found our home 'perfect' for everyone. We hope you will return again one day!
As a group of 4 couples, the house worked perfectly for us. House was very clean and well stocked. The use of the paddleboards and kayaks made our time on the lake a lot of fun. We would love to come back!

Oh I'm so happy that the place was perfect for you 4 couples. We do love a well stocked house so we can cook and enjoy and not worry about the little things. I'm glad you also made use of the water toys! (kayaks and paddleboards). Have a great upcoming fall!
We had an amazing time for our twice yearly girls trip. The house is extremely well appointed, beds are very comfortable, living room is wonderful for hanging out and the views are beautiful. Some of our party took advantage of the paddle boards and kayaks and the house had tons of room and was very comfortable. Super closer drive to cute shops and great restaurants in Lexington. Communication with hosts was excellent and quick. We are already talking about returning.

Hello Kate and thanks for the 5 star review. The biggest compliment is that you are talking about returning! I love that our home was part of your memories for your girl's trip and that you thought we had had tons of room for you all.
I'm also happy you enjoyed the cute uptown shops and great restaurants. We love our little lake town!
Easy check in! Kitchen is fully stocked and might be the best rental kitchen of all the ones I’ve stayed in! Everything was clean and easy to find.

Hello, and thank you for the great review. We love love love to cook, and so I’m glad you found it the best rental kitchen you’ve ever stayed in. What a compliment!
We had a great time with our family at High Rock Lake! We loved the open floor plan of the house for gathering and meals, and the cozy, comfortable bedrooms for relaxing. The paddle boards and kayaks are a great perk, as is the dock for sunning, swimming, and fishing. We would definitely stay again!

Hi Niki!
So glad you enjoyed your stay and the open floor plan. We also love the plan of the house, as it allows us all to gather and enjoy time as a group.
You were an excellent guest and we hope to host you again one day!
very nice lake home and everything you would ever need is in that beautiful kitchen, the whole place is a wonderful place, we always really enjoy family getaways there
I rented the home for a semi annual fishing trip with my buddies from work. The house was clean, neat, well stocked and was exactly as advertised. The views of the lake were amazing. The access to the lake was incredibly easy. This home has a nice layout and a great kitchen. The price to rent was more than fair. Thank you for having us. We would definitely love to book with you again, possibly in the spring of 2026

Thank you so much for the five star review! I hope you caught a lot of fish and had a wonderful time building memories with friends! I’m glad you noticed that the lake access was incredibly easy. That’s one of the reasons we bought the place! We love that lake access!
House is well maintained.There are usable inflatable floats under the house. Lots of condiments in fridge and spices in the cabinet left from previous guests. Nice selection of child and adult games as well.Would stay here again.

Hi Angela and thanks for the great review! We also love our peaceful getaway. You were an excellent guest.
I am a southern gal, raised in the mountains of Tennessee. My husband is from Maine, but our family of four now lives in Asheville, North Carolina, tucked in the hills. I am a retired professor of writing and literature at a local college, while my husband is a software guy. Our two teen children love the lake life! They enjoy the stand-up paddles and kayak and boating and tubing so much. My daughter often goes for an early morning paddle to enjoy the serenity of the lake, while my son is more active and enjoys tubing behind the boat.
We love to cook, so we purchased the items that we know we would need in a true chef’s kitchen. Springform pans, zesters, all of the elements that make cooking fun! We also invested in some outdoor dining, because with that gorgeous space, what an opportunity to eat outside. With the lake just steps away, eating outside is a priority! There is something magical about dining alfresco, watching the herons and cranes explore the lake from the deck. We have a bit of a “pet“ crane who comes by on a regular basis. We named him Niles. ;)
We have had large extended family gatherings here, and we have had our personal BookClub here and Lockie’s writing retreats. We enjoy both a house full of teenagers with laughter and running in and out and grabbing beach towels and paddleboards AND a sophisticated girls retreat with farmers market in the morning, vineyards in the afternoon and lots of card playing and stories. We have made so many memories here already.
We are a close-knit family, and both of our moms are in their 80's, so we needed a place with the primary bedroom and en-suite bath on the main floor. My mother cannot navigate steps well, so it is perfect for her to be able to walk right in and sleep in the primary bedroom. The lot is also gently sloping, so from the front of the house she can simply walk down the side of the house and onto the dock and the boat without navigating any stairs.
Why they chose this property
Our daughter was just accepted into UNC Chapel Hill (go heels!) and the Lakehouse is only about 1.5 hours away, so we can go bug her. 😊We love lake living! My husband loves to boat, and I am a water baby, swimming and kayaking and canoeing…anything on the water. We looked at lake homes for years, and we looked at many different lakes, from Georgia to Tennessee. High Rock feels so special! It is the perfect blend of fun and relaxation. The “pace” of the lake it just perfect. The lake is large (the second largest in North Carolina) so there are many places to boat to. You can boat to Goat Island and join the party or boat into a quiet cove and swim and float. You can jet-ski the main channel or take a quiet paddleboard trip into a quiet harbor and search for herons and other wildlife. We also craved luxury. This home is so new! It was built by a builder only 5 years ago to be his personal lake home, so he did not skimp on all the details that make the place feels luxurious. Some of the other lakes we viewed felt overdeveloped and a bit commercial. High Rock strikes that perfect balance of having enough to do, while also not feeling overcrowded. While you will see exciting activity on the weekend, (JetSkis and pontoon boats and motor boats and fishing boats) which lends the weekend an exciting pace, during the week, you will find lovely peaceful lake moments, watching the birds and the occasional boat or fisherman go by. Uptown Lexington and nearby downtown Salisbury are so charming! The shops are unique, and the shopkeepers are friendly, while the farmers market, vineyards and breweries provide a wonderful afternoon. Even storms are magical at the lake. Sitting on the front porch, watching the clouds roll in and then watching the lightning over the lake, truly magical! We love the open floor plan as the chef is not stuck in the kitchen. We added six generous size barstools and with the dining table seating 8, we have plenty of seating!
What makes this property unique
My husband also works often while we’re at the lake. There is an office space right next to the kitchen. He just pulls up a chair and plugs in his computer. The Wi-Fi speed is excellent, and he has been able to take conference calls around the world with ease. On sunny days, he will sit outside and take a conference call while looking at the lake. All of his coworkers are jealous when they see the background. One coworker asked if it was a fake photo backdrop!
The primary bedroom and en-suite bath are on the main floor. The lot is also gently sloping, so from the front of the house guests can simply wall down the side of the house and onto the dock without navigating any stairs. This will be wonderful for a big extended family vacation, if not all the members can navigate a flight of steps. We have hosted girl retreats here with my friends, and the bedroom/bathroom layout is perfect! We truly sleep 10 incredibly comfortably. The Jack-and-Jill bathrooms upstairs are not only gorgeous with granite and custom cabinetry but they are generously sized with two vanities and tons of drawers and cabinet space.
Our house is very well equipped, perfect for a longer stay! The kitchen is a working kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a large granite counter-top, and plenty of pots and pans and cookware and bakeware etc. Looking for a spring- form pan? We have it! lemon zester? yep. Keurig coffee maker... It's all there!
We are tucked into a little piece of paradise in our sweet portion of the lake, but we also have access to the main channel! This gives you access to the boat- up restaurants. One of them is tons of fun and has a party atmosphere with live music on the weekends and the second (Waters Edge Restaurant ) is a bit more subdued, but still has wonderful events throughout the week, from karaoke to wine and paint to live music. We love to boat to one of them, tie-up at the restaurant, have a wonderful meal and then boat back as the sun sets over the lake!
