About this property
Peaceful Lake House Retreat: Swim, Kayaks, SUPs
Welcome to Kingfisher Lake House on beautiful Lake Adger
This (5) Bedroom, (4) Full Bath Home with (2) Living Areas is a perfect place for extended families or groups to stretch-out with plenty of spaces indoor and out to reconnect and unwind.
This three-level home has a functional layout that allows space for your group to be together yet offers privacy when desired.
Main Level:
• Large Living Area w/Fire Place
• Bump Out with panoramic views over Lake Adger's Main Channel
• Dining Room with access to Upper Deck & Outdoor Dining
• Well Equipped Kitchen with access to Upper Deck and outdoor Weber Grill.
• Master Bedroom with en suite full bath and private deck.
• Small bedroom w/twin bed.
• Full Bathroom with Shower.
Upper Level:
• (2) Large Bedrooms each with a Queen Bed, Work Space & Sitting Areas.
• Full Bath with Combination Tub/Shower.
Lower Level:
• Bedroom with Queen Bed.
• En Suite Full Bath with Shower.
• Well Equipped Kitchenette.
• Laundry with Washer/Dryer.
• Living Area with TV/DVD
• Access to Lower Level Decks with Stairs leading to Dock.
Grounds
• Fire Pit with Lake View and Sitting Area
• Kayak Rack w/(4) Kayaks & (1) SUP
• Lake Dock
The entire living space of the home and decks are for your exclusive use to enjoy as well as the property extending down to and including the lake.
On the property you will have available to your group (4) Kayaks, and a SUP with their paddles. We have (5) Adult Life Vest on hand for guest use. If you intend to have children join you on the lake, we ask that you bring the suitably sized Life Vests for their use.
Kingfisher Lake House is in the Lake Adger Development made up of several communities planned to have minimal impact on the beautiful natural elements surrounding the lake. In the Development, you have access to the 500 acre lake, 14 miles of hiking (equestrian) trails, as well as safe, low traffic, roads for road biking.
Up for an adventure, close by is the Green River Narrows (put in 25 minute drive) with boulder infested Class IV & V+ rapids or calmer waters downstream on the Green River that flow into Lake Adger. Zip Lines (25 minute drive), and great Mountain biking a bit further away (45-55 minutes) in Brevard, Mills River, Bent Creek or Old Fort areas.
Of course, here in Western North Carolina you are a quick drive to quaint towns, beautiful waterfalls, wineries, breweries, hiking and World Class attractions like the Biltmore (65 minutes) & Tryon Equestrian Center (17 minutes)
Other things to note:
Like many properties in Western North Carolina, especially around lakes, there tends to be steep grades. The paved driveway down to the home has a slope that may be steeper than you are accustomed to, however passenger cars, pick-up trucks, and minivans have no problem going up and down the drive-way rain or shine. Four vehicles (cars/pick-ups) can park easily in the parking area. Larger Trucks (Box Trucks), RV’s or Trailers will not be allowed down the drive and they are not allowed to park on Development Roads. There is also a decent slope from the house down to the lake. It would be difficult to handle if you have a mobility challenge.
The home has the best internet that money can buy for the area, it is good but not great. We typically get 27 Mbs down that allows streaming HD on one TV while surfing on multiple devices, however you would not be able to stream on both TVs.
We have great neighbors that deserve to enjoy the peacefulness of Lake Adger. Quite hours start at 10:00 pm where we ask that guest be thoughtful about voice & music levels while outside. Absolutely no parties or events will be allowed at any time.
This property is marked as not suitable for kids because the house does not meet all the criteria listed in the “Safe Kids Worldwide Guidelines”. Outlets are not covered, laundry and chemical products are not necessarily out of reach, or secured, and dressers are not fully secured against tipping. But most importantly the home is 100 yards from the Lake which can be reached in a minute by a curious toddler. So while discouraged, we do allow children and have equipped the home with items to make it safer and more comfortable for little ones. We have dishes, utensils, a potty chair, pack-n-play, high chair and a range of age-appropriate toys.
The property is essentially a forest setting next to a lake making it an inviting home to number of creatures ranging from cute to annoying. This includes biting insects. Repellant is available in the home, but also keep an eye out for our stinging neighbors. Yellow jackets will sometimes take up residency in inappropriate places on the grounds, please give them a wide berth and let us know where you see them.
Absolutely no smoking or vaping (of any kind) is allowed inside the house.
Pets are not allowed anywhere on the property.
Only registered quest may stay on the property. No explosive fireworks on the property at any time.

About the host
Hosted by Thomas Adamson
My wife Beverly and I welcome you to our Home. I am an engineer and my wife is an educator from Greenville SC. Along with our son Matt, we have traveled the world staying in families homes. These wonderful experiences have motivated us to prepare our own home to share and we look forward to the opportunity to do so.

Our home on Lake Adger has provided us with the peaceful connection to nature that allows us time to relax and reinvigorate. The access to the water, safe neighborhood roads, and trails present a great opportunity to enjoy many activities such as paddling, hiking, fishing, and biking.
