Mountain house on private lake

The mountain house was in a great location to Saluda. I would definitely get groceries in Flat Rock before your stay. The only place close by is Doller General in Saluda which is overpriced. There are some updates the homeowner needs to make before the summer season which I notified them. Zero internet, so I would bring a dvd player with movies and radio for nightly entertainment.

A Quiet Get-away!

Such a nice cabin - clean, spacious, well organized and comfy. The kitchen was well outfitted and fit our needs perfectly as we cook our own meals when we travel. Super solid internet too! And ample parking space for 3 vehicles was great. We'll be back next year.

Tranquility Base

We had never known about Lake Sheila (we live in Greenville, SC) until coming up this past weekend. First off the surroundings at fall were gorgeous. Peaceful, quiet, just what we needed. Second, the house was an absolute gem. Clean, beautiful furniture, it had everything we would ever need. If we were not sitting at the dock, we sat for hours in the screened in porch, even slept out there one night. In a note to the owner, I wrote "wow, just wow."

Loved the Lake

We enjoyed the king beds, the ability to bring our dog, and the proximity to a variety of places to sightsee. The lake was fascinating to view the changes over the course of our stay. Walking around the lake was a daily activity. Our only disappointment was the s-l-o-w internet. We are looking forward a return visit next fall!

Relaxing Weekend!

The property owners were amazing. I received very detailed directions and we were able to locate the property without difficulty, even in the dark. The property itself was way better than we expected. It was so peaceful and quiet. The screened porch was perfect for enjoying morning coffee. The kitchen is very well stocked with anything you need for cooking. The beds were comfortable. The layout was perfect for relaxing and taking in views of the lake. The location is perfect. It is close enough to everything, but also a perfect location if you didn’t want to leave the lake. There are kayaks to use, board games etc… Truly cannot say enough about this place. We will definitely be returning!

Fabulous - wish we could have stayed longer!

We throughly enjoyed our time at this property. The cleanliness superb, the beds were great and chairs down at the dock had us enjoying the late afternoons while our group kayaked, fished, swam or just relaxed as we chatted with the fabulous lake friends we made. We learned alot about what to see from those evening on the water from the locals. We look forward to coming back and appreciate all the owners have done to make it such a fabulous vacation spot.

A Little Piece of Heaven!

Lake Sheila is a beautiful clear water private lake in Saluda N.C. This property and about 35 others have direct access to the lake. The house is very well maintained and clean. The lake views from the upper screened porch & lower covered patio are spectacular. The owners supply inflatable water tubes and two kayaks for visitors. You have a private dock as well. We will be making a yearly visit with family. My grandchildren loved swimming & paddling the lake. Us too!

Beautiful spot on Lake Sheila

Very comfortable cabin with the best views of the lake. The screened in porch was the amazing for morning yoga and just relaxing any time of day. We enjoyed using the boats to paddle across the lake to visit friends. The cabin had everything we needed and the owner was easy to communicate with and prompt to reply to our questions. The location is great, an easy, pretty drive to Saluda for shopping and dining if you want to leave the lake!

This was such a great property I wish I could keep it a secret. The beds are comfortable and the screened porch is perfect for all times of the day. The lake was clear and nice to float on. We were close to several good restaurants. We hope to rent again!
