About this property

Adorable home w/ huge back yard- minutes from Belews Lake. Amazing Hidden Gem

**With three (or four) bedrooms, we've maximized the indoor living space with four queen beds and a twin daybed in the fourth bedroom that doubles as family room bedroom. . ****Due to severe allergies, this is a non smoking and no pets allowed property. Please do not book if either are needed amenities. $500 fine will be added for deep cleaning.
**A big back yard and huge deck offers plenty of space for lawn games and gatherings, plus we have outdoor tables, comfy seating areas with sofas and chairs, as well as an outdoor fire pit.

*Additional large gathering space (pictures shown) is available with donation and is a perfect spot if you want to host a family reunion, company picnic, shower etc. All proceeds support local non-profit community outreaches and it helps further our mission.

**Washer and dryer are available in a storage section of our unfinished/storage basement but only for those staying four or more evenings. *Outdoor security camera is placed down driveway.

Loved the privacy & the host was fantastic

Host was VERY responsive and accommodating which was greatly appreciated. The home was very spacious and had everything we needed for our week long stay. Location was perfect for what we needed, and had a lovely private yard that was quiet/peaceful. Loved that the owners use the money for a local non-profit. Would highly recommend.

Niece's Wedding weekend at Bella Collina Mansion

The house was nicely appointed. Excellent location and proximity to wedding venue. We were able to go to the venue in the morning to help decorate, come back to shower/change and return for late afternoon wedding. Thank you for your hospitality. Highly recommend this property.

Spacious Comfortable Home

We had an enjoyable stay and highly recommend this lovely home. The beds were extremely comfortable with nice large rooms. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with all the dining necessities. The house is set back from the main road with a beautiful outside sitting area with a view of the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Schmidt

Host profile image
Our big family is thrilled to welcome you to the Becoming Cottage. I have a love for swinging wide our door and offer a warm Southern welcome of hospitality to strangers far and near, so please let me know if I can answer any questions about our area. We are just a few houses away if you need us. P

Why they chose this property

The Becoming Cottage is a hub for my non profit ministry and your rental proceeds help us offset the mounting expenses as we reach out to the community by offering a safe place of respite and welcome. Our hope is that as you leave, you will feel refreshed and renewed as you watch the sun set, listen to the geese and frogs or just relax on the outdoor sofas while roasting some marshmallows on the fire pit.

The outside space is still in process as our family is slowly fixing up the property, so enjoy the country feel. :)

What makes this property unique

While it's only a few minutes drive to the lake, our backyard gives a wooded, rustic, peaceful feel if you choose to relax at your home away from home.
