About this property
NEW! Waterfront | Private Dock | Firepit | Kayaks
Sunset Bay is a wonderfully cozy lakefront cottage situated on a quiet cove on High Rock Lake, located less than an hour from Charlotte, Greensboro, and Winston Salem. Located on Abbotts Creek, you'll have access to High Rock Marina year round. This is the perfect retreat for a romantic getaway, a family trip, and quite possibly the best fishing in NC. With an open layout, great sunsets, huge kitchen, and several outdoor entertaining spaces, you'll have a hard time leaving!
Sunset Bay Cottage has 1,232 square feet of charming living space with two private bedrooms and two full baths recently built in December 2022. You'll love the expansive views you'll get from the living room and kitchen! Outside, there is a spacious screened-in porch for entertaining, and a private dock to park your boat, or go fishing, swimming, or kayaking.
Living Room: features a large, comfortable sectional couch with enough room to seat 6. It's a great spot to lounge in front of the 65" TV. A Roku stick will give you access to your subscription apps like Netflix, YouTubeTV, and Hulu.
Master Bedroom: relax in our beautiful Pottery Barn king size bed with memory foam mattress. There's a spacious closet and a master bath with a walk-in shower and a granite vanity. There is also a 50" TV on the wall with a Roku stick to stream the apps you subscribe to.
2nd Bedroom: this room has a queen bed with a memory foam mattress and a twin bunk bed. This room includes a small nightstand, dresser, and large closet.
Guest Bathroom: acting as a guest bath in the main living area, this spacious bathroom contains a bathtub/shower, toilet, and large granite vanity.
Kitchen: the kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. You will be on your own for groceries, but it is equipped with many spices, condiments, and olive oil to get you started. We come to the cottage about once a month and do our best to keep things stocked. If you use the last of something and feel inspired to replace it for the next guest, it is greatly appreciated. There is a Keurig coffee machine (you will need to provide your own KCups) and all the pots, pans, and utensils you need to prepare a nice meal are here for your use. There is also a large kitchen peninsula with bar seating for 4.
Dining Room: a large wooden farmhouse table with tall chairs is located here. There is enough seating for 6 people for a memorable family meal.
Outside: immediately outside of the back door leading out of the living room, you will step onto the screened-in porch with a nice lounge area with an outdoor couch, chair, rocker, and end tables. On the other side, you will find the grilling area and a space to sunbathe. The gently sloping backyard includes a Solo Stove Yukon firepit. Below that, you will find the dock where you can fish, swim, park your boat, or use 2 of the provided kayaks. ***Please note, beach towels are not provided. Please bring your own and do not use bath towels for use after enjoying the lake.***
Garbage: Trash pickup is on Tuesdays. If you are staying or checking out on a Monday, please roll the trash bin out to the street for Tuesday pickup and pull back to the parking pad once they've arrived.

My sister, mother, and I have stayed here before and our stay this time was just as wonderful! This is such a nice location and the home is very nice and relaxing! Chris is great to work with. Hope we will be able to visit again!!
We really enjoyed our time at this property. Beautiful house on a quiet street with an equally beautiful view of the lake. House was very clean and well appointed with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. My family really enjoyed fishing off the private dock. Would definitely recommend this property!
My husband an i rented this beautiful home,for a relaxing getaway, an it was so much more my family had a great time.
From.the fishing, kayaking, boating,an just enjoying the lake ,the views are so nice..the home had everything we needed,an more 😀
We stayed 3 nights at the property for a long weekend. Very clean and quiet but probably more going on during the summer months. We really enjoyed the view of the water although we only walked down to the pier a couple times. While we were there we went to the zoo, rcr museum, and relaxed the rest of the time. Great place to stay if you are coming to the area.
Our family really enjoyed the screened in porch, dock access, fishing and the warm lake water. The house was clean and extremely comfortable. The host was very attentive with replying to me before and during our visit. The neighbors are very friendly as well. None of us wanted to leave. Will definitely stay here again if we ever find ourselves back to the area.
Had an incredible weekend away! Friends flew in for Memorial Weekend and everyone fit comfortably. The place was incredibly clean, smelt new, and the amenities were amazing! The access to YouTube TV allowed us to watch some basketball during the rain we had. Great outdoor seating area and loved having access right to the lake and the fire pit. Was even given a list of things to do in the area which was incredibly helpful during the storm we encountered. Cannot say a bad thing about this place!!

Nice place, but I wouldn't stay again
The place is very nice and looks like the photos. However, it would have been nice if they had used a broom or something to sweep away the many, many cobwebs from INSIDE the screened porch. Also, all of the notes posted inside the house with the "rules" that included threats about deposit loss was very unwelcoming. I suggest adding the rules to the information book instead of posting them all over the house. Overall we had a good weekend.

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 29, 2024
Joyce, you're right - a rural, wooded, lakeside cottage is probably not the best place to stay if you are concerned about bugs and spiderwebs. I would also love to see a picture of any evidence of the threat of deposit loss in the cottage, as it simply doesn't exist. We've been a perfect 5 stars at this property for 2 years on all booking platforms. You are the first to ever knock off a star, let alone 2. I sure hope you have a better experience next time booking with someone else.
Great location on the lake! House was clean and stocked with day to day essentials. Chris was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again!
