About this cottage rental

Escape to an enchanting lakeside retreat where art, nature, and comfort come together. This spacious yet cozy three-bedroom, three-bath cottage has been thoughtfully curated with works by talented Blue Ridge Mountain artists—many of whom were deeply impacted by Hurricane Helene—creating a stay that is as meaningful as it is beautiful.

Nestled on a gorgeous private lake with easy access and no steep stairs, the cottage captures the magic of the mountains with whimsical touches, rich local character, and stunning water views from sunrise to sunset. Watch ducks, geese, playful otters, and even the occasional beaver right from the shoreline.

Inside, you’ll find a fully stocked kitchen, inviting living spaces, and delightful details around every corner that make you feel instantly at home. Whether you’re gathering with family, enjoying a romantic getaway, or seeking a peaceful escape, every space is designed for comfort, creativity, and connection.

Adventure awaits just outside your door with two kayaks, a large canoe, two paddleboards, and a pedal boat included for exploring the lake at your own pace.

Come experience a place where mountain artistry, lakeside serenity, and a touch of wonder create memories you’ll treasure long after you leave.

The house was fun and very clea . We loved the design style indoors and outdoors. All enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding (with a visit from sone friendly beavers!) The lake view was lovely and we enjoyed hanging out on the dock and even swam a bit in the chilly water .Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Incredible place offering beautiful lake views, terrific amenities, and plenty of room. We enjoyed using the peddle boat daily, the great kitchen with space for the whole family to help with preparation, and the multiple deck options for dining and morning coffee. We’ll definitely be planning a return visit!!

It was the perfect place for our reunion. 5 HS friends met in Charlotte and stayed at Daydream House for 4 nights and we picked the right place! The house was just as described. Clean, fully equipped and right on a beautiful part of the lake. Beds were very comfortable with fresh linens and plenty of towels for the bath. We floated out on the swim dock all day and had dinner at Lake House restaurant. Hosts were very responsive. The best time!!
