About this property

This Updated Home Has Everything!

This great home has 4 bedrooms - 2 queen, 1 king, and 1 bedroom with twin beds, plus a cat napper sofa. There is also a portable cot that sleeps 1. This updated home has updated appliances and granite, and both bathrooms are completely renovated with tile and marble. There is a wonderful screened in porch facing the lake with spectacular, unimpeded views of the water and wildlife. You will love having your morning coffee there and watching the sunrise. The kitchen and living room area is one big open space and is designed for large families. Beneath the screened porch is a patio with a porch swing and outdoor furniture. There are plenty of floats and various sizes of life jackets for enjoying the water, and there is a ping pong table, 2nd bath, and washer/dryer downstairs. There are also 2 kayaks and a paddle board for guests to enjoy. In 2018, we built a beach area at the water front with real beach sand. It's such a nice, relaxing feature, and children especially love playing in the sand. There's also a fire pit for those evening gatherings near the water around the fire. In 2019, we added an additional indoor stairwell leading to the downstairs. If you have a PWC (personal watercraft, like a Wave Runner or Jet Ski), we have installed a landing pad joining the pier where it can be safely parked when not in use. Guests are welcome to bring their own boat which can be parked safely on the side of the pier. (The boat lift is reserved for the owner's boat.)
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a great time on the lake swimming and kayaking. Also, loved having Scallywags just two doors down. I had the chicken sandwich, it is huge. The owners of the house were fantastic.

Perfect Getawaya

Property was exactly as described. Beautiful home with lots of space for our family. We spent mornings on the screened in porch drinking our coffee and watching the sunrise, and evenings fishing and playing games. It truly was the perfect getaway. We enjoyed everyrhing about our stay here and will definitely be booking again.

Beautiful, very comfortable and relaxing.

We were impressed from the moment we arrived. The house had everything you need and more. We caught fish off the dock, spent time on the netted off porch and enjoyed a couple red moon rises that were epic.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Dianne Watterson

Host profile image
We are semi-retired Christian couple with four grown sons and seven grandchildren. We moved back to NC in 2015 after being in MD for 12 years on a work assignment. Our home is in Lexington, NC. We own and operate a tree farm on our NC property that grows privacy screen trees. Our lake home is just 30 minutes away.

Why they chose this property

One thing we really love about this property is the gentle slope to the water. We did not want a lot of steps to walk to get to the water. Another thing we love is that this home is a rancher style. Houses in the Lake Forest area are not jammed on top of each other like in other areas of the lake, so we liked the size of the lot. The property is very close to a marina that has a restaurant.

What makes this property unique

We both love to fish and enjoy the water, but as we still both work, we decided to share our lovely home with others who would enjoy it like we do. When we started looking for a lake home, we settled on this property, primarily because we love Badin Lake for its superior water quality and beauty. The house needed updating, and we are glad to be finished with all the hard work involved in making this a comfortable and lovely property.
