Charming Waterfront Cottage on Lake Wylie with Great Sunsets and a Private Dock
Escape to "Trout Pond," a charming waterfront cottage on Lake Wylie, for up to 6 guests. This 2BR and 1BA cozy retreat offers stunning sunset views from a large, multi-layered dock, a floating boat slip - all within 20 minutes of Charlotte. Enjoy a relaxing wood fireplace, a fully equipped modern kitchen, and direct lake access for boating and fishing. Perfect for a serene getaway with modern comforts, just minutes from local shops and dining. Enjoy the private sanctuary on 1 acre of land and very few neighbors on a private drive. In the evening, relax by the fire pit or any of the many outdoor seating areas. Firewood is provided. Boat and Kayak rentals are close by, with a boat launch 5 minutes away.
Step inside our welcoming, cozy cottage, designed for relaxation and connection with the comfort of central air conditioning. The main living area features a cozy natural wood fireplace, a comfortable sofa, and a 55-inch Smart TV with cable.
Kitchen & Dining:
Our fully appointed kitchen is equipped with a full suite of appliances, including an updated refrigerator and freezer with an ice maker. You'll find a dining table for four and a kitchen server with two barstools. For your morning coffee, choose between the provided French Press and Keurig coffee maker.

Guests will have private and exclusive access to the entire cabin and the surrounding property, including the deck, private beach, and boat dock. For your convenience and a seamless check-in, the home is equipped with a keyless entry system. You will receive your unique access code before arrival.
