About this property

Cozy house located on a quiet cove right off the main lake. Views from the house are gorgeous and there is a large screened in porch with a comfortable living area and a table that seats 6. This is a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or dinner and drinks in the evening. The house sleeps up to 9 people. There are two bedrooms on the main floor, one with a king bed and one with a queen bed. You will also find a full bath on this level with a bath/shower combo, vanity, etc. The kitchen/living room area is wide open with gorgeous windows that allow you to take in the views of the lake from anywhere you sit. Kitchen & bathroom should have everything you need for your stay. There are towels & linens also. There is a washer & dryer available for personal use, but please simply leave used towels & sheets on the floor when you leave. We would like to wash all of our own towels & linens. There is a beautiful spiral staircase in the living room to take you to the second level where you will find another bedroom equipped with a queen bed and a bunk bed that has a double bed on the bottom and a twin on top, a perfect spot for the kids. The full bath on this level has a shower and vanity and this is also where the washer and dryer are located. On the front of the house is the game room with a pool table and a cocktail arcade machine with classic games like PacMan and Galaga. Sliding doors open up to a porch that overlooks the fire pit and dock. We have a grill off the main deck that you are welcome to use to grill up a tasty dinner after a day on the water. Down at the dock, we have a large space to hang out with an awning to keep the sun away on extra steamy days. We also have a closet with life jackets for kids and adults, a lily pad float that is great to hang out on and a couple of kayaks to use to cruise around the cove. The local marina, Lilly's Bridge is a short drive to the house by boat or car and they have boat rentals, a surf shop and a fun restaurant called River Wild. Lake Tillery is nestled in the Uwharrie Mountains with breathtaking views everywhere you look.
Use of boat lift is available for a $100 fee/stay under 'Water'.
This is to cover the expense of moving and storing our boat for the stay.

Family Fun

The house is wonderful. The kids really had a great time especially with the game room. Needed some dusting on the bottom floor. Oven needs a major cleaning, really filthy. Washer and dryer needs to be checked clothes had to be dried twice. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful stay for a family of five.

We had a great time at the lake last weekend. The property was super clean and updated. There were enough beds for our family of five, three of which are big teenage boys who no longer love a couch or fouton. So, the extra space was a plus for them. Kristen was so easy to work with. She answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly. She even left us a welcome basket with info about the area, treats and wine. The property was just as pictured. The awnings on the lower deck were the best part, as they could be slid opened and closed depending on the sun. We figred out how to hook the bluetooth speakers down on the dock to our phones, and had music to enjoy all day. Having kayaks there for our use was nice. There is one adult and one child kayak available. It would have been nice to have more than one adult kayak to use, since my kiddos were too big for the child sized one. Overall, we would love to stay here again. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get away for a bit and enjoy the water.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen Dawson

We're a family from Charlotte that fell in love with beautiful and secluded Lake Tillery and the Uwharrie region and use this property as our little getaway spot.

Why they chose this property

We love the beautiful views of the lake and main lake access with the privacy of the cove.
It's also great being only 10 minutes away from the convenience of shopping and activities in Albermarle and accessibility to all directions.
