Tranquil Lake Life Getaway @ Lake Tillery - Pet Friendly! Lake Community

Welcome to Your Cozy Lake Life Escape
Step into this enchanting 3BR/2BA cabin in a gated Lake Tillery community, cradled by the lush Uwharrie National Forest. With stunning year-round views and a peaceful vibe, it's the perfect spot for families to unplug and reconnect. Sleep comfortably for up to 6: King, Queen, and Full/TwinXL bunk bed (all with mattress toppers for extra coziness).

Inside Comforts
Our fully stocked kitchen has everything for home-cooked meals, plus a dining table, bar with stools, and a high-top table on the back deck—ideal for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or curling up with a book. Essentials like shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, toilet paper, hand soap, dish soap, sponge, and paper towels are provided. Unwind with 3 smart TVs loaded with free shows and movies, plus fiber Wi-Fi for streaming or working!

Family-Friendly Features
We've thought of the little ones: kids' toys, board games, and activities for rainy days; a high chair and pack-n-play available. Safety first with baby gates at the top and bottom of stairs, plus mesh screens on banisters.

Outdoor Adventures Right at Home
Beautiful backyard pond is a highlight—kayak (sit-on-top with life jacket provided), fish (bring your NC license for lake spots too), or roast s'mores at the fire pit. Fire up the charcoal grill (utensils needed; use the gravel area next to the deck). Bring bikes for 5 miles of scenic community roads, or park cars, trucks, UTVs, ATVs, or boats in the spacious driveway (note: boat ramp fee applies if using community boat launch—see the guard at the entrance for info).

Community Perks
A short 3-min walk to lake access, multiple piers/docks for fishing, and a bench to enjoy serene views. Drive just 3 min to the lakefront pool, pavilion, and playground with swings overlooking the water—perfect for picnics on the clubhouse lawn. Challenge friends on pickleball, tennis, or basketball courts (10-min walk or 2 minute drive). Hiking trails weave throughout the community for easy nature immersion. EV charging station coming soon!

Nearby Attractions
Venture out: 15 min to Morrow Mountain State Park for hiking and views; Badin Lake public access for swimming & grilling out; Albemarle shops and restaurants; or Town Creek Indian Mound for history. Short drive to Uwharrie OHV Trails for off-road fun. And don't miss the NC Zoo—only 45 min away!

House Rules & Pet Policy
Must be 25+ to book; all guests under 18 require a legal guardian present for the full stay. Max occupancy: 6 guests (including children 2+ years old). Pet-friendly for 2 dogs under 25lbs—we provide waste bags and an outdoor bin (for poop only). Please bring a kennel/crate for dogs to sleep in and stay while you're away (no dogs on beds). We'll request names for everyone on the reservation. Kindly respect the house manual, no driving on grass, and follow community guidelines.

The property provided just what we needed for our trip with extended family and was a great jumping-off point for the excursions we wanted to go on during our trip. We also really enjoyed the pool each day.

Very peaceful and quiet

We had a very nice time here. Fishing wasn't quite what we hoped for but that was following a lot of rain and muddy water

Helpful Host, lovelv, clean house, great location.

My friends and I picked out this spot last second after having our prior plans in Western NC cancelled by Hurricane Helene. Our host (Joe) was extremely quick to communicate regarding anything, and the property was very well kept and had just about anything we could have asked for. Super comfortable, safe, and in a great location for going out into Uwharrie while still being relatively near a small town with everything you could ask for. No complaints!
