The lakehouse was the perfect location for a week of relaxation and exploring the lake. Being able to walk out the door and down to the dock was wonderful. Claudia was easy to communicate with and even added camping chairs we could take down to the dock to sit and relax. We loved using the kayak and rented another from the marina to explore the lake. The lower deck is lovely. With adirondack chairs and a chair swing to enjoy the gorgeous views of the lake, we could have spent the day there enjoying a good book and the views! The upper deck was nice for grilling and morning coffee.The main level of the house also had gorgeous views from the living room. The master bedroom was very spacious and quite comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed, including an impressive gas stove and a cast iron skillet!Overall, it was the relaxing family vacation we needed. We really enjoyed it and would love to return!

Our family had a get together at this place and another home within the Lake Toxaway club community. It's lovely, right on the lake. The home uses its space well. Two bedrooms on the main floor, a large loft on the 2nd floor and the walk-out basement is its own floor. TVs are good quality, wifi is good.Kitchen is well stocked. It lives small if you have a family with a lot of cooks but we managed. We LOVED the canoe and kayaks. There is a closet in the basement with noodles and life jackets. Unlike other places we have stayed at Lake Toxaway, this dock had a staircase into the lake, which made getting in and out of the canoe and swimming a lot easier.We rented a boat from the marina and loved being on the lake every day. Deck only accommodates boat of 22 feet.The only real issue we had was parking. Know that there is only room for 2 cars. We made do with 3 by parking really close together and moving cars around. There is a church about a mile down where you can leave your cars, according to the owner.Also, lock your cars. On the first night, a bear got into my mother's car and scratched her leather seats! We think he smelled her dogs or perhaps the food she had brought with her, even though there were no dogs or food in the car. We did see a bear about 1/2 mile away that same day climbing a tree, so they are definitely around!

The lake view is beautiful from the back of the house. There is a house about 10 ft away from this one and during our stay it was full of drunken college kids up all day and night, cursing enough where we wanted to keep the kids inside. They were sharing the same dock and since there is an unusable boat blocking our part of the dock we had to fish elsewhere. Kind of a waste since we just wanted to relax and fish. The house is average, 70s decor and lumpy carpet throughout, musty, Nice king bed. Small but they got creative with the loft and basement if you had extra kids in tow. Nice backyard, but again, we had drunken teenagers playing football in it for most of the time. Bring everything you need with you.The closest anything is 30 minutes away - which got very frustrating when batteries were missing from the remotes. The ‘dock’ is just the property wall so if you are looking to sit out on the water, this property isn’t for you. One thing I didn’t like was the food left in the house. Fridge full of open jars of things like pickles and sauces. Gross. Pantry full of their personal food. Personal pictures everywhere. Notes and cards and personal items on the counter. It felt like a violation to be there, like they stepped out the moment we came and will be back the second we leave.Didn’t feel like a clean-slate rental, but like I was rifling through her used mayo jar. Strange. I feel like the ad misrepresents what you get. Also, PLEASE, get some mosquito/bug spray. Bugs are horrible inside and out.

Great View. Comfy Stay

The Hoover Cottage was just right for our family of 7 plus baby, for a long weekend. Everyone had plenty of room. We rented a boat from Tony at The Marina and enjoyed getting to know the lake. You will really enjoy this easy to get to, ready to unload and load, and comfortable to stay in cottage. It has everything you need.

Another wonderful week!

We had another wonderful week at this lovely lake house! We enjoyed every aspect from the ease of communication, cleanliness upon arrival, comfortable beds and furnishings, and of course, the amazing location on Lake Toxaway. The house accommodated our small group of 4 with plenty of room if you have a larger group. Everyone was comfortable in their own space and we enjoyed cooking, game night, and TV in the common areas. We had nearly perfect weather to enjoy boating activities and nearby hikes. This was our second stay here and we can’t wait to come back! Thanks again! Lisa

This property was very nice. The kitchen was well equipped, the master bed was of high quality and comfort. The view from all areas of the home were great. The area is what you would expect from a mountain lake home. The fishing off the dock was not bad eithier until the weather caused a change. Overall we had a great time.

Nice, Cozy Cottage

We had a great stay at this Lake Toxaway home over the 2020 holidays. The place had just about everything you need, which was convenient given that the nearest store was 20-25 minutes away. It was cozy, warm and it had a nice view of Lake Toxaway. The property manager was responsive with our questions (TV is difficult to figure out). The other cottages around the property are close. No one was around when we were there but I suspect it is busy in the summer. I recommend the property.

Lovely, Simply Lovely!!!!

Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation home. We had everything we needed to spend our New Years with family. Kitchen was stocked with all the cooking necessities. Everything was clean and in excellent condition. The view of the lake was amazing. Will definitely stay here again. I’d like to visit during the summer when in season. The only con we found to this property was that the downstairs bedroom gets very cold at night. It would be great if there was a way to make it warmer. The heat wouldn’t make its way downstairs. Definitely recommend this property!!!!!
