We had such a great time at this Lake House. We enjoyed paddle boarding as a family and taking walks around the lake. We enjoyed cooking out and eating on the deck and the fireflies entertained us each night. We can’t wait to go back.Be prepared with good directions if you arrive at night as you might not have cell service until you get to the house.Great stay!

We could have been on the deck all day long - the shade from the trees, the views of the lake and the wonderful chairs were amazing.

Family Vacation

There is something for everyone at The Oak Lake House on Wanteska. The paddle boards, kayak and canoe were awesome to have there and the dock is large enough for a group. It is a quiet neighborhood with beautiful wildlife and the view is amazing from the deck. We will definitely be staying here again.

Hidden Gem

This charming home is tucked away in the trees overlooking a lovely quiet lake. The rooms are spacious and the property well equipped. Parking three cars took some shuffling but didn’t diminish our desire to return for another family gathering.

Guys Trip

We loved the house with all the amenities. It was raining while we were there so the gym was a hit with the guys. Also the grill was awesome for 7 big eaters! The kitchen equipment was excellent. I really like the ability to make tea quickly. I would definitely rent again.

Connestee Falls House

Family vaca at Oak Lake House in Connestee Falls gated neighborhood near Brevard, NC. 8 adults for 4 nights. Wonderful experience. Best feature of this property is the back deck with its view of the lake and surrounding forest. The hiking trails inside Connestee are fantastic and varied. Highly recommend this property for its location, comfort, spaciousness, access to Lake Waneska and all that the Connestee Falls neighborhood has to offer.

Little disappointed in lake view property at Connestee Falls

Cute house but very steep driveway. Clean inside but not clean outside. Chairs were very dirty on balconies and gutters were full of leaves. Inside of house looked newer in photos. Outdated inside. No tvs in bedrooms

Perfect Lake Getaway

The Oak Lake House on Wanteska was a perfect house for our family and friends. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of plates, glasses, silverware and small appliances. It was a nice perk to have beginning paper products provided as well as dish and laundry detergent and shampoo/body wash. The house was extremely clean and the layout was great. The kids were able to have their own space downstairs while the adults were able to hang out on the main floor. They also loved the ping pong table out in the garage. There are 94 steps to get down to the dock. The lake was SO clean and a great temperature! The kayak, paddleboards and canoe were great amenities to have. The kids also loved the lily pad sort of float too. We enjoyed the hikes and waterfall in the neighborhood as well. We would highly recommend this rental. The kids are already asking when we can go back!
