"Cottage On The Cove" Private Lakefront Paradise with Paddleboards & Kayaks

*Dogs only allowed with approval from owner. Scroll to bottom to read more.*

🛶This is the perfect spot to get away from it all. Our home is peaceful, quiet, and has plenty of distance from any neighbors. In fact, there's a good chance you won't even see anyone around the home or on the lake. Our home is on a very quiet cove and Mayo Lake itself has little to no boat traffic, even in the summer.

We are only 15 minutes from Hyco Lake, and Mayo Lake has a much more private feel than Hyco Lake.

🦅This beautiful home has lots of windows and incredible views of the lake. The floor plan is open and you will be greeted with beautiful pine floors as you enter. The views are amazing! In our cove there are often Snowy White Egrets, Blue Herons, jumping fish, turtles, and sometimes Bald Eagles and Beavers. The fishing on our dock is fantastic. You can catch Crappie and Bass. The night sky is incredible and you'll love looking for shooting stars at night.

🚣‍♂️Our home comes with 3 paddleboards and 2 kayaks for your use. We also have several different sizes of life jackets. Our cove is an absolutely beautiful place to explore by paddleboard or kayak. (And by the way, if you haven't tried paddleboarding, it is incredibly fun! You can stand, sit, or kneel. You feel like you are on top of the water!)

😎Our dock is the perfect place to lay in the sun and enjoy the serene beauty or jump in the lake and go for a swim. We keep several noodles and floaties at the house with an electric pump. There is a ladder that makes it easy to get in and out of the lake. There is room to tie up your boat and/or jet skis. The marina is only 5 minutes away (by boat or car)!

🍔There is a large deck in the back of the house overlooking the lake with a large table and 8 chairs. There is also a propane grill for cooking out.

🔥The backyard has a fire pit to roast your hotdogs and marshmallows or you can just enjoy the fire with the gorgeous lake as a backdrop. We try to keep plenty of firewood at the home for our guests.

The home has 3 floors:

Loft Level - King Bed, closet, and bathroom with a large jetted tub. This bedroom is open and has incredibly gorgeous lake views. This bedroom has a desk with incredible views of the lake while you work. The natural light that floods in through the window is perfect for getting work done.

Main Floor - This floor has a large, open spacious kitchen and living room with a wall full of windows to view the lake. The windows are so high that you can even view the stars at night from the inside. The dining table can seat 6 - 8 people. The kitchen has a small, yet cozy electric fireplace. The bedroom on this floor has a King Bed and a flat screen smart TV. There is a full bathroom on the main floor, right across the hall from the bedroom. The kitchen has everything you need to cook delicious meals with plenty of counter space. There is also a laundry room on this floor and a supply of beach towels.

Downstairs - This is the room for family gatherings and fun! It has a large flat screen smart TV. After a long day at the lake, you'll love watching movies on the new leather, reclining couches. There is also a ping pong table in this room. The bedroom on this level has two queen beds, and there is a large full bath on this level as well.

Peaceful weekend
Relaxing by the lake or on the beautiful deck. Just the best. The home is perfect. It has everything you need for a great time, right down to wood for the fire pit. Owners easy to contact and really seem to want you to have a great time. Already trying to plan our next trip.

Morning Coffee and Beautiful Birdsong
Our family had an amazing time at this beautiful and well appointed property. Our teenagers unplugged and enjoyed every minute we were there. They are already asking to go back. My husband enjoyed the hammock and I loved having my coffee each morning in this beautiful and private setting. The birdsong was amazing. Thank you to our wonderful hosts! We felt so welcomed and dream of returning.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen

Host profile image
We are a nature loving family. We enjoy visiting the mountains, coast and have been to Costa Rica a couple times, but this Lake House is one of favorite places to be!

Why they chose this property

After looking for a lake property for a year on Hyco Lake, we discovered this gem on Mayo Lake. We couldn't believe how private and serene it was. We love that the home sits in a peaceful cove.

What makes this property unique

Although there are other homes in the cove, there are very few people out and you rarely see a boat. This lake has a protected shoreline encouraging abundant wildlife.
