We had such a great family weekend here! The house was incredibly clean, comfortable and very well stocked, with thoughtful personal touches throughout. Communication with the owner was excellent and everything about our stay was easy.We also rented their pontoon boat and are so glad we did. The kids had a blast fishing and kayaking, and we loved taking sunset cruises and spending time together out on the water. Badin Lake is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful and quiet—it was the perfect setting for a family getaway.Between the house, the lake and having the boat right there, it really had everything we were looking for. We made some great family memories and would absolutely stay again!

Perfect vacation retreat

Red Sky Lake House is the perfect vacation retreat. Every thing you could possibly want is supplied for a fun stay. From a fully stocked kitchen, to toiletries in every room, beach towels for lake swimming and floats to spend a lazy day relaxing. This is our second stay and are looking forward to our third.

Exceptional Home and Host

This lake house has everything you could want! Terra is a awesome host, quickly answering questions and making sure we knew everything needed for the home, boat, and lake. We rented all of the lake toys and used them all. It was wonderful to explore the lake on the boat, swim, float, paddleboard, bird watch, play 'large' jenga, make smores, and enjoy Lake Life!

Perfect in every way

Our stay at Red Sky Lodge was nothing short of amazing. The house was very clean and tastefully decorated. It slept 3 couples + 1 more adult very comfortably. The views were breathtaking and the entire feel of the house was serene. Perfect for summer or fall rentals! Terra was a pleasure to deal with and provided our group with some wonderful local recommendations! Will definitely book again next year

Christmas Vacation

Our family met up here for a quiet Christmas getaway and we were not disappointed. This place was the perfect spot for our time together. The home was decorated for Christmas making it extra special and homey. It rained almost the whole time we were here but there was plenty to do in the house to keep us busy. The host is amazing and had several recommendations for things to do in the area. We also enjoyed the fire by the lake on the one night it didn’t rain. Highly recommend this spot!
