Our grown family of 4 stayed here for the Christmas week, and what a magical stay! I grew up in this area and this was the perfect location for us to stay, rest, and visit our family. The house and porches were perfect, and the view was amazing. I hope we can make this our go-to place to stay. Our host was responsive and thoughtful. This is the BEST place!

Tillery Time is just what our family needed- we were in town for a long weekend/whirlwind of pre-wedding, wedding, and post-wedding events. The house was a relaxing and fun respite each morning and evening as we returned. Such a peaceful and beautiful setting. Our adult children and their spouses enjoyed the outdoor living room, game room with pool and ping pong tables, and the video arcade machine with a multitude of games! We also used the kayak and paddle board and played some board games. The owner graciously let us enter a little earlier as we had flown in the same day as the wedding rehearsal- what a relief to be able to get ready and not feel rushed after long airline flights. We would certainly come back! A perfect spot for us!

House was incredible and exactly as described. Host was a great communicator after we had a few questions on how to reset stuff due to an incredible lightning storm that caused power surges. The house sits in a great Cove with deep water and a very functional boat dock that we fully utilized. We plan to book again on our next trip to the lake. We would recommend this house and host to anyone.

Relaxing Getaway

The house is exactly as described and more! I couldn’t believe how many “water toys” came with the house. The mattresses/bedding in every room were very comfortable. We had friends staying on the main part of the lake and the water was really crazy with the holiday weekend at their rental so it was so nice to retreat back to calm waters in the cove! Plenty of space to dock our boat as well. We will definitely rent this house again!

The house was beautiful and very clean. Sitting in the screened in porch was so relaxing and the view of the lake was breathtaking. We used the fire pit and enjoyed the evening breeze from the water. We used the kayaks and had so much fun. We didn’t want to leave. Such a beautiful experience. I’m ready to move to the lake. Thank you

Wonderful Weekend Stay

We traveled to spend the weekend and attend our son’s Senior Day lacrosse game at a nearby university. This property was just as advertised and gave a place to briefly host some of our son’s teammates and. parents after the game before heading out to a celebration at nearby Uwharrie Brewing Company. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay again.

Peace and Quiet

I messaged Kristen the morning after getting in late. I described to her how happy I was to be sitting on the porch facing a beautiful view surrounded by a canopy of tall native trees. Spring was just around the corner and the birds were perched on their limbs, singing their glory that the cold grey winter was at its end. I sat quietly, listening to nature’s morning whispers as I held onto my piping hot coffee. As the day went on, our family awoke and we made meal after meal, played games, pool and enjoyed our paceman tournaments. We read, watched movies, hiked local trails and explored the small towns. Although not in its active season, we enjoyed the immense quiet and peace of the lake house and its surroundings.
