About this property

Dock Holiday - beautiful views on Badin Lake. Updated kitchen & game room

Welcome to Dock Holiday! Let lake life take away all your cares and relax! Relax on the dock or swing in the gazebo with beautiful views of Badin Lake. Kayak in the quiet cove or swim/float off the dock.
Master upstairs with a king bed and private bath. Downstairs is a King bedroom and a 2 Twin XL bedroom which share a large bathroom. Living room also includes a Queen sleeper sofa. All bedding is included as well as bath towels (and bath sheets for those of us that love a big towel) along with bath essentials. Downstairs is a full kitchen well stocked for your cooking needs and a Dining Table that will fit 8. Kitchen updated for 2026 to include dishwasher and pantry under the stairs. We also have a coffee/bar area with a Keurig, regular coffee pot and all the glassware for some great cocktails or a glass of wine - just bring your favorite adult beverages!

So many options to enjoy outside too! You can grill on the deck and enjoy the large flat yard for some fun games or sit and relax and enjoy the sunset. Explore the cove and nearby islands with 3 kayaks included as a complimentary amenity. Splash Mat, floats, life vests and beach towels are also included. We have a 22ft pontoon boat for rent as well (please inquire about pricing and availability).
Also new for 2026, we have converted the garage to a game room - hangout space. Full size ping pong and air hockey tables along with Pac-Man arcade game. Hangout space with couch/recliners, TV and small fridge. Just added an a/c window unit as well.
New fire pit area also completed and ready for those S'mores treats on cool nights.
There are some fun lakeside restaurants nearby with bands on the weekends for entertainment. Badin Lake is a clean and refreshing fresh water lake with a vast area of the Uwharrie National Forest surrounding the lake for hiking, biking or Jeeping. The scenery is stunning with lots of lake to explore! The birdwatching is wonderful here. There are some other great surrounding areas waiting for you to come explore - Mount Pleasant, Richfield, Morrow Mountain State Park, Asheboro (which has a great zoo) and High Rock.

We are just an hour from Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Greensboro and just 1.5 hours from Raleigh-Durham. Pfeiffer University is just 20min away. We have sister properties very nearby if you have a larger group. Please inquire for availability.

We look forward to hosting you and your family (including those with 4 legs) and hope you enjoy your stay at Dock Holiday!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We were looking for a lake vacation that was family and dog friendly, with all the "water toys." Dock Holiday did not disappoint! The owners were super nice and responsive to all our questions. They thought of everything in case you forgot some things! We loved renting the boat and the lake was perfect for tubing/skiing etc. We went during a busy time and always felt safe having the kids on the tube etc. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a relaxing lake vacation! Dom and Donna are great hosts!

This is our 3rd year staying at Dock Holiday. Its our favorite spot. This year the kitchen was fully updated with a dishwasher and they turned the garage into a game room. That was awesome for the kids and us adults! The owner is very nice and awkward available if you need her . Can't wait for next year's stay.
