Lake house vacation rentals in North Carolina

Beautiful view and very relaxing. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock.

Such a beautiful home and a wonderful place for a family weekend retreat to Lake Jackson State Park and participate in the Fonta Flora 50K. The home is so cozy, and enjoyable. Space to gather together and also retreat away to relax and read a book or nap. The deck and dock space are amazing!!! Hosts were so friendly and welcoming. We are already planning our next visit to their home.

Joe & Megan’s place was perfect for my weekend away! The location and house were both gorgeous! Easy access to any shopping I needed while also being secluded and quiet. Joe and Megan were super responsive and gave clear, helpful instructions for everything I needed to know. What a wonderful getaway!

Our weekend was amazing. The main floor is large and very open and made it easy for our group to hang out and eat together. The lake is literally just 25 feet or so away from the house. It is February, so we were mostly inside, but quite a few of our high schoolers did jump in the water a few times for a polar plunge. Great value in the off season, great house, and great hosts.

Peaceful Getaway with Stunning Lake Views I had an incredible stay at the Cozy Lakefront Retreat! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the serene surroundings and breathtaking lake views. The cabin was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect for unwinding—whether sipping coffee on the deck overlooking the water or enjoying an evening by the fire pit. The hosts were incredibly attentive and made sure I had everything I needed without being intrusive. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, this is the perfect spot. I can’t recommend it enough and look forward to coming back soon!

Nice place they were awesome. I will definitely use them again especially in the summer. Thank you guys so much.

This was our family’s second visit to Jennifer’s Lake Gaston house for Thanksgiving and we so enjoyed our time there! The house is spacious with a beautiful and quiet location on the lake. It’s so generous of the host to allow use of the kayaks and canoe, which makes this place truly extra special. The dock and other outdoor spaces are also lovely and the area is great for taking long walks. Check-in and check-out were a breeze and Jennifer is an extremely responsive host.

The house was great for relaxing on the lake and it had all of the amenities we needed (kayaks, paddle boards, hot tub corn hole). The house had an amazing screened in porch and open kitchen. Thank you very much-

Everything was great except disappointed that the fireplace didn’t work. Beautiful view of water!

Beautiful and quiet location! Carson sent us a detailed brochure prior to check in that answered so many questions. The house was cozy, clean, and supplied with everything we needed. It was a very smooth process from checkin to checkout. Hope to visit again in warmer weather!

We had a fabulous family vacation! The house was comfortable and we enjoyed lots of fishing off the dock.

Docktails is where it's at. This amazing dockside retreat is indeed ten steps from the water and affords you every amenity needed to enjoy a fantastic time on or just at the water. We spent a few days on Lake Waccamaw and appreciated what Lake Life had to offer at Docktails. We were greeted by a stocked kitchen, well-appointed features throughout the home, and a community sharing-type approach to hospitality throughout the property. Hosts Lisa and Terra were very responsive to our needs and ensured our stay was pleasant. We will definitely be bringing out tails back to Ducktails next time we visit sweet Lake Waccamaw!!!

This was our second year for family vacation! The house is very roomy and enough sleeping quarters for our family of 6 adults and an almost 2 year old and a dog!! We loved just getting in the lake water and float all day!! We probably be back next year!! Thanks for a wonderful vacation and family time!!

The house was beautiful with a view of the lake. I enjoyed coffee on the outdoor patio or in front of the various fires. We also enjoyed hiking the community trails as a family. My advice would be to pack everything, the kitchen did not have any supplies (ie garbage bags or olive oil). Worth every penny for the house and would love to go back in the summer. Oh and don't waste your time going to Marion, there's nothing in that town. Enjoy the outdoors instead :)

I had a wonderful stay at this mountain house. The location was breathtaking, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape that allowed me to truly unwind. The house itself was cozy and well-equipped, offering all the comforts needed for a relaxing getaway. I especially enjoyed the rustic decor, which added a warm and authentic feel to the space. Being close to hiking trails and nature spots was a bonus, as it allowed for easy exploration and outdoor activities. Overall, a fantastic place to disconnect and enjoy the peace of the mountains. Highly recommended!

The house was great for our family. Lots of spaces and places for everyone. The sunsets over the lake are wonderful. We went on a few walking trails. Everyone had a great time.

This is an amazing house and Andrew and Stacie were amazing hosts! The house is even better in person. The house is beautiful and clean and the yard and dock are perfect. The hosts were very responsive and always answered our questions within minutes.

Our family has been coming to Bear Paw for the last 20 years for our family reunion. This was our first time in this cabin, and it didn't disappoint. Plenty of space, and our children truly enjoyed the game room and well stocked board games. We ended up meeting the neighbors when enjoying the lake and they were so wonderful as well.

I really can't express how perfect this place was for us! I booked it for Thanksgiving to get our scattered family together. The house is amazing with two living room spaces, two dining spaces and plenty of bedrooms for all of us. The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed a little fishing and kayaking. The large dining room made it possible to seat everyone at one table for Thanksgiving dinner. One of the neighbors even saved Thanksgiving by sharing the forgotten spices for pumpkin pie!There is a strong possibility that we will be back next year to do it all again. Thank you Jodi, for a wonderful experience!!

The house was exactly as advertised. Incredibly clean and well stocked. Easy to get in and even smelled great. The kitchen was equipped with EVERY utensil we possibly needed. We were only able to use the paddle boards on our last day due to weather but they were great when we did. Also enjoyed a campfire and saw a million stars on clear nights. Overall we loved the place and felt right at home.

we enjoyed our stay here it was very private ,clean and peaceful ! lots of cool lizards too!

Robin quickly responded to accommodate my family on short notice and ensure the house was clean and stocked prior to our arrival in a few short hours. Her communication was amazing and made our stay easy.

This place was incredible, had a great time with the kids and the hubby , I wish it had more lighting (outside) other than the lights everything was perfect.The view was perfect, I love the watching the sunrise and the house was really clean and had a lot of things that I didn’t think It would have , a variety of coffee, sugar and snacks.I definitely appreciated and would go back again!

The home was very comfortable, clean, and beautifully updated. The large screened in porch allowed us to enjoy a lovely view in a quiet location of the lake. Landscaping and dock area were attractive and provided lots of fun. It was obvious the owners took great pride in providing thoughtful amenities for their guests to have an enjoyable experience. The only thing that didn’t work for us was taking our boat out of the water there on the property. The gravel driveway made it too difficult to get the traction needed to pull trailered boat up steep incline. The alternative was to drive approximately 10 minutes to Buddle Creek Wildlife Boat Launch to trailer boat upon departure. We enjoyed our stay at this High Rock Lake home and hope to rebook next year.
