The Cedar house has 4,300 square feet of luxurious living space, including a sprawling loft, three private bedrooms, one bunk room, three full baths, and two half baths. The home sits high on the hill with two stories of decks, offering breathtaking panoramic sunset views over the lake and Blue Ridge mountains. If you are looking for an instagram-worthy spot, you have found it :) With nearly three acres of land, the home offers a unique combination of privacy and direct lake access.

Featuring a wide open floor plan, the fully equipped gourmet kitchen opens on to a grand two story great room. Three comfy couches, large television, and whole house speaker system adorn the great room. With double ovens, a commercial grade gas cooktop, and two dishwashers, prepping meals is easy and enjoyable. A large central island offers ample prep space and casual seating for seven. The adjoining dining room comfortably seats eight.

The sun-filled screened porch is adjacent to the kitchen. Two large windows open from the kitchen on to the bar. A spacious sleeper sectional, television, and game table round out the space. The game table easily transforms from a standard dining top to a poker or bumper pool table. A dedicated heating/cooling unit keeps the sunroom comfortable all year long.

From the great room, a spiral staircase ascends into the loft bedroom. The open loft captures the astounding views and has a private balcony overlooking Bald Mountain. A king bed, queen sleeper sofa, and daybed with trundle comfortably accommodates sleeping for six. A full bathroom with generous walk in shower and a separate half bath complete the space.

The lower level houses three private bedrooms, a bunk room, and two full bathrooms. Bedroom 1 has two queen beds. Bedroom 2 has one king bed. Bedroom 3 has a queen bed. Bedroom 4 (bunk room) has four twin beds. Two shared bathrooms are located off the central hallway. One bathroom contains a large whirlpool tub, shower, and separate toilet room. The second bathroom has a large walk in shower. Both bathrooms have large double vanities.

Out the front door of the home, a stunning waterfall and pond welcome guests. A large blue stone patio wraps around a wood burning fire pit with built in seating benches. From the fire pit, access the private wooded path to the boat house and dock. A short walk through the woods will lead you to the playground and a staircase descending to the boathouse. Alternatively, guests may choose to drive down to the boat house. Ample parking is offered.

Sitting ninety steps off the parking area, the boathouse deck offers lots of seating and lounging space. A covered pavilion with custom bar, refrigerator, ice chest, speaker system, and trash cans. Two single kayaks, one double kayak, a paddle board, and a canoe are provided. Tons of rafts including a giant 6' by 15' "island" are ready for the kids and the kids at heart. The dock is located in a quiet, no-wake cove and is ideal for everyone to safely swim and play.

Our 22' Pontoon boat is now available for our guests to rent! Separate rental agreement and rates apply. Please ask host for more details.
