Lakehouse w Boats, Hiking Trails, Hot tub, Firepit, Fireplace, Resort Amenities

Newly renovated, our unique lakehouse offers access to two of the most beautiful lakes in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The lakehouse fronts on pristine Bald Mountain Lake, which is reserved for non-motorized water recreation. Our guests have access to our porta-bote with quiet E-propulsion electric motor to explore the lake. We also provide a pontoon paddleboat, Stand Up Paddleboards, kayaks and a canoe. The large, flat back yard offers a fire-pit (we provide firewood) and plenty of space to hang out and play. Beautiful Buffalo Creek flows through the property and into the lake. Hot tub now available! Buffalo Creek Park, which includes miles of hiking trails, is a pleasant five minute walk from our house. The property has free high-speed wi-fi (200 Mbps) and we provide a Level 2 EV charging station.

Our home includes five bedrooms and three bathrooms. We have a fireplace in the living room (we provide fire-logs during the cool months) and a screened porch on the second level with views of the lake. Our property includes a grill (we provide the propane) and two Smart televisions.

Bald Mountain lake is great for fishing and swimming. We have a dock on the lake which is deep enough to fish and swim off but not deep enough for diving.
