The view is breath taking and the location on the lake could not be better! The cabin is cozy with a rustic feel. Plenty of seating areas and ample parking. The kitchen had everything we needed, large fridgerator and the grill was was in great condition!

The lake view was amazing - beautiful sunsets, beach area, and calming vistas. Even better, we were able to bring our furry family member. We took the boats out and explored the lake and coves. Definitely recommend!!

This house was the perfect getaway for a girls weekend. The indoor fireplace provided much needed warmth during our stay. The screened in porch with rockers were nice to have happy hour with a view bug free. The beach on the lake with a fire pit provided wonderful memories.

Cabin, was great. Way more then the wife and i needed but glad we went there. Weather turned out nice. Had a fire by the beach one nite and relaxed. A day in just unwinding, and a couple quick trips to Charlotte were super convenient. Will definitely recommend

Wonderful cabin with breath taking views. Comfy on the inside and relaxing on the outside. Not far from the city. Plenty of lake activities that are fun and entertaining. You will not be disappointed with choice. The owners were easy to communicate with and they were unbelievably gracious to a humble guest. I can’t thank them enough!

Exactly what my husband and I were looking for: A cozy traditional lake house for a serene get-a-away. Place was spotless, and the beds were super comfortable. Our nephew and his wife joined us for rwo nights with their 6 month old and all three had the best night’s sleep in 6 months! Loved the knotty pine cabinets and paneling. Location was very quiet, yet short drives to grocery, restaurants etc. Host was super responsive and delightful.
Traditional knotty pine cabinetry brought back warm memories of my child at my family’s summer cottage!
Spectacular sunsets every night
Relaxing on the dock

Vacay at Wylie

Great property with awesome beach and lake access. House was very clean and warm, kids loved it and felt right at home. Only downside was the proximity to the airport, lots of planes flying overhead. Great place though overall for a family vacation!
