You are sure to love this cozy lake front cottage. Whether you are sitting by the fire, watching the kids kayak across the cove or sipping a cocktail on the dock, it’s hard not to feel relaxed at Red Sky Lake House.

We have 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms with comfortable sleeping space for 8 guests.

It has 4 bedrooms, the primary suite has a king bed with an en-suite with jetted tub and separate shower. The first guest room includes a queen bed, the second guest room includes a full bed over looking the lake and the thirds guest room has 2 twin beds that can be made in to a king size bed with all bedding included. All bath towels, beach towels and bedding are included. Even dog towels are provided. (There is a pet fee of $120.

We had such a great family weekend here! The house was incredibly clean, comfortable and very well stocked, with thoughtful personal touches throughout. Communication with the owner was excellent and everything about our stay was easy.We also rented their pontoon boat and are so glad we did. The kids had a blast fishing and kayaking, and we loved taking sunset cruises and spending time together out on the water. Badin Lake is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful and quiet—it was the perfect setting for a family getaway.Between the house, the lake and having the boat right there, it really had everything we were looking for. We made some great family memories and would absolutely stay again!

Exceptional Home and Host

This lake house has everything you could want! Terra is a awesome host, quickly answering questions and making sure we knew everything needed for the home, boat, and lake. We rented all of the lake toys and used them all. It was wonderful to explore the lake on the boat, swim, float, paddleboard, bird watch, play 'large' jenga, make smores, and enjoy Lake Life!

Perfect in every way

Our stay at Red Sky Lodge was nothing short of amazing. The house was very clean and tastefully decorated. It slept 3 couples + 1 more adult very comfortably. The views were breathtaking and the entire feel of the house was serene. Perfect for summer or fall rentals! Terra was a pleasure to deal with and provided our group with some wonderful local recommendations! Will definitely book again next year

Christmas Vacation

Our family met up here for a quiet Christmas getaway and we were not disappointed. This place was the perfect spot for our time together. The home was decorated for Christmas making it extra special and homey. It rained almost the whole time we were here but there was plenty to do in the house to keep us busy. The host is amazing and had several recommendations for things to do in the area. We also enjoyed the fire by the lake on the one night it didn’t rain. Highly recommend this spot!

The perfect house!

Our book club of five older women stayed here over the weekend. Our hostess, Terra, thought of everything one could possibly need. One of my friends said, "I feel so cared for." The view from the dock of the fall leaves was so pretty and peaceful. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the house was decorated beautifully. We enjoyed an outing to Gold Hill antique village. We hope to stay here again.
