The main level has a wrap deck that looks over the ridge to the dock and water. The lot is very natural, so there are windows of views from the home. The lower level is a patio under the above deck.

What we love about our home: The round design offers an open and airy flow to enjoy the views and interacting with family and friends. Our lot is mature and naturally wooded to offer privacy. Our community is gated and offers walking trails and lots of wildlife. You will feel like you are tucked away in a peaceful place, and yet you are only minutes from town.

The property has a series of stairs that lead to the dock. We suggest children should always be accompanied by an adult. We also recommend a well-planned list before walking down to the platform and dock. You will get your exercise on those stairs. See photos.

The garage is for storage only, please do not park inside. The garage will house the gas grill and trash containers. These items should stay in the garage due to wildlife. Do not leave them sitting out unattended.

The home is set up for 12 guests and we provide linens, towels, kitchenware including kid’s flatware and cups, a drip coffee pot and a Keurig. Please send the manager an email if you need to know about specific items. We do not have any infant items, such as gates, cribs, or high chairs.

Marion is the closest town, about a 15 minute drive, and Morganton is about a 30 minute drive. Asheville is an hour away, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and Boone are also about an hour drive. The manager will send you area notes on groceries, restaurants, and travel.
