Gorgeous lake home loved our visit

This beautiful home was the perfect place to stay for our large group of 10 people. Everybody had their plenty of space and there were plenty of bathrooms and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need. We had a blast taking the paddle boards and kayaks out on the lake and the dock is a quick walk down from the house and it has its own private boat house with life vests and chairs and other furniture and a wonderful place to hang out. it’s one of the favorite homes we stayed at and we hope to be back again soon. The host was lovely and communicated everything in a prompt manner and we can’t thank her enough.

Peaceful space

This home was exactly the location and size we needed when we had our daughter's wedding at our lakehouse also on Hyco Lake. It provided such a serene place for coffee in the morning on the deck overlooking the beautiful yard and lake before all the chaos of a weekend wedding ensues. Jenn was absolutely wonderful in her communication with me, thorough and timely. Although us as Parents of the Bride didn't spend much time there, what we did was very comfortable and restful. The other family that stayed here raved about how beautiful and spacious (and separate) the downstairs area was. As we were coming and going different times of the day, this was very helpful in our accommodations. So very happy this beautiful place was part of such a special weekend on Hyco Lake !

Great for a large group

We rented for our race team & pit crew for a VIR race. Exactly as described, plenty of space and beds for everyone. Common areas both upstairs and downstairs were great for a large group of people. Christmas decorations were a nice touch. Would love to stay again!

Perfect for a family

My family with little kids and a dog stayed for lake fun and a racetrack weekend at VIR. We loved the house, location, property, and dock. It’s a quick drive to VIR. The house was very clean and well organized. It had lots of pots, cooking supplies, towels, shampoo, soap, etc… The house has an awesome yard and is in a nice little cove off the lake. We loved being able to easily walk from the dock to the house and the dock was comfortable to sit on. It was such a plus to be able to run back and forth on a gently sloping path. We had meals and coffee on the lovely covered deck with a fan going so we didn’t have to worry about mosquitoes. It’s an awesome place and we hope to visit again!

Secret gem in Semora NC!

We had a group of 12, two families, for 5 days and we never ran out of things to do at this house! The way the rooms are spaced, and having two kitchens made it a dream stay for so many people! The lake is beautiful and not too busy. You can float, paddle board, and kayak safely. We will absolutely book again and again, We rent many, many VRBO's each year and this is one of the top homes that we have enjoyed!
