Our property is set back from the main cove, so your family can enjoy swimming and playing near our boathouse without fear of heavy wakes or careless boaters ruining your day. Your family will also enjoy hanging out on our spacious deck. They will find it an excellent place to read or talk - maybe take in a little sun. Also, the backyard facing the water is large with a gentle slope which is great for playing ball, and the front yard is even larger. The fire pit near the shore is perfect to gather and roast marshmallows in the evenings.
If you have a rainy day, you can make a short trip to Roanoke Rapids for shopping, movies, and other entertainment. The quaint town of Warrenton has a lovely historic district with antique shops and other points of interest. In addition, you can take a tour of Rosemont Winery and Art Gallery, which is about 15 miles west of the house. There are a variety of activities that can be enjoyed around the lake. For example, you can go to the flea market on the weekends or play putt-putt golf. The area also has several golf courses available.
