About this property

Lakeside retreat with private dock on Palmerville Lake!

Bring your own boat to this cozy retreat on Palmerville Lake to make memories fishing, skiing, kayaking, and more! This quiet lake is 3 miles long, yet is 2 miles from the public boat launch on the much larger Badin Lake. There is a fire pit for evenings making s'mores and enjoying the fireflies in the summertime.
Nearby attractions:
- Morrow Mountain State Park
- Carolina Treetop Challenge is a self-guided adventure climbing experience consisting of a variety of challenging treetop courses.
- Wineries: Stony Mountain Vineyards & Winery, Uwharrie Vineyards & Winery, Dennis Vineyards Winery, and Rocky River Vineyards
- Golf: Piney Point Golf Club, Red Bridge Golf Club, The Tillery Tradition Country Club and Old North State Club are all in Stanley County. Lakeside Retreat is an hour from Pinehurst.
- Museums: Badin Museum, Stanly County Museum, Historic Marks House, Historic Snuggs House, and Morrow Mountain Natural History Museum
- Badin Road Drive-In Theater
- Clay Shooting at Juneberry Ridge
- Pan for Gold at Mountain Creek Gold Mine just minutes away or visit the Reed Gold Mine where the first gold in America was discovered. Reed Gold Mine is about 40 minutes from the cottage.
- Historic downtown Badin has an adorable coffee shop, antique stores, and the best hibachi chicken at Tho's! Loafers and Legends is a local private club that you can try out during your stay on a weekend. They have live music and karaoke on Friday nights!

A quiet weekend getaway
Had a great time celebrating a birthday weekend! It is a compact space, but a perfect base of operations for hiking or boating. Conveniently located near everything you’re looking for and still tucked away for some peaceful down time. Definitely keeping this on the list for a return trip!

Charming Little Lake Cottage
Comfy & Cozy little lake cottage. Small but just right for a couple or family of 4. The beds are super comfy. Only thing with the main bedroom that we would change would be adding a window unit ac in there, if you close the bedroom door it gets very stuffy in there. The ramp is steep that goes down to the lake but there are hand rails and rubber gripping for safety all the way down the ramp. We loved the firepit and we would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your home!

Great place on a small lake for children
Great place to stay. This is not Badin Lake and you cannot get to it on your boat. You can pull your boat out and drive it to Badin the boat ramp is really close. The boat access for Palmerville lake is shallow and has a few deep holes for your tires. Can be tricky to get your boat in and out. You will need to back your vehicle in all the way tires in water. Nevertheless the home is great. Comfortably held our family of four. The dock for the boat was great and swimming was wonderful. The lake is good for tubing not really big enough for skiing. Felt very safe with our small children. Quiet nice family retreat without any crowds. Would recommend for a family retreat.

Great location
Very clean and the kitchen was well-stocked. Just minutes to Morrow State Park. I didn't use the house dock but it looked fairly new/remodeled, as did the entire house. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Teresa Copper

Host profile image
We are excited about sharing our lake cabin for lovers of the water and outdoors! Lovingly renovated in 2022, Lakeside Retreat is our guest cottage next to our main lakefront home. We jet ski, waterski, wakeboard, knee board, kayak, canoe, and swim from May to October. From Pinehurst, NC, we hope to retire to the lake one day!

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a place near a lake when we happened upon Palmerville Lake through an ad on craigslist. Our hope was to make memories with our family and the lake was a wonderful place for us during covid.

What makes this property unique

You are welcome to use the kayaks and canoe that are on the property! The boat launch to Palmerville Lake is at the end of the street, so bring your motorboat or jet ski! There are typically no more than four or five boats on the lake at a time, so it is a safe place for children to learn water sports. You will see gorgeous herons, hawks, ducks, deer, wild turkey, and other wildlife around the lake.
Lakeside Retreat is only 2 miles from the downtown Badin boat launch on Badin Lake and 7 miles from the Old Whitney boat launch on Badin Lake.
