About this property

Peaceful Waterfront Retreat at Hyco Lake

Unique waterfront architecture on Hyco Lake with stunning panoramic views from all main living spaces. Sliding doors, oversized picture windows and a total of 10 skylights soak this house in excellent natural light.


Located on the north east of Hyco Lake on a quiet yet very open and sunny finger. The location and water depth is perfect for swimming, playing, fishing, canoeing or to just unwind and float in the water.

The Space

Come unwind at this serene spot on Hyco Lake where you can relax, gather, create memories and enjoy the spectacular views and tranquility of the lake. With many outdoor spaces to choose from, including a two-tiered porch deck, a dock overlooking the water, an expansive boat house top deck with cozy outdoor furniture and a stone-built patio with fire pit, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Enjoy the stunning views, breathtaking sunsets and endless star gazing on the oversized dock's top deck - probably the largest in the entire lake.

Relax in this comfortable single story home with 3 bedroom, 2 full baths, an open concept kitchen-dinning room-living room and a family room with tv. Fully stocked kitchen with huge pantry, dishwasher, fridge, stove, oven, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. Gas grill and s’mores ready fire-pit.

The bedrooms feature a comfortable king bed, a queen bed and a twin sized bunk bed with trundle. The family room has a tv with streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu) and board games are also available in the main living room. High speed internet Wi-Fi available.

Bring your boat on rent one at Hyco Lake Boat Rentals to fully enjoy all the lake has to offer or take the available canoe for a spin and explore the nearby little coves full of wildlife. We provide paddles, ores, adult floating devices and an array of life jackets. However, we cannot guarantee all sizes. Guest supply their own fishing gear.

In addition, we provide an array of baby items, some toys and children's books to minimize packing for those families with infants or small children. But, please, note that the house is NOT baby proofed and we ask that you supervise your children at all times.
Brand new washer and drier are available for guests.

Come enjoy all this unique place has to offer. Relish the sunsets, admire the night sky, watch the geese frolic in the sun or sip your morning coffee while listening to the birds. Give your kids the gift of priceless memories, plan a small friends reunion or have a romantic getaway. The Skylight House is the perfect retreat!

hypoallergenic dogs do come to the house around 2-3 times a year if you happen to be extremely allergic to dogs. Please note that the neighbor’s dogs roam freely across properties. They are very friendly but do tend to leave unsolicited souvenirs around our property. Although we’ll do our best to remove them during cleaning we cannot guarantee their absence upon arrival and during your stay.

- We also try to clear the spider webs on the porch and dock before you arrive but those guys are so fast at making new ones that you may some new ones during your stay.

- Please be careful about leaving food out. We don’t usually have issues but food can attract unsolicited critters. Large and small food containers are provided in the pantry to facilitate food storage.

There are ceiling fans on every room and an additional portable cooling unit.

Amazing stay
The location was phenomenal. The house had lots of windows which afforded lake views from most rooms. Super comfy beds and plush towels. The boat house was amazing with plenty of seating and plenty of floats. The water off the dock was deep. Had a blast and we would stay here again. Only small con was the internet was a little slow. The host was super responsive!

Great little getaway spot.
Overall, a very nice property. The outdoor spaces are fabulous, especially the upper dock for morning coffee (and a surprise view of cows grazing on shoreline across the lake one morning) and lower dock for swimming and reading in the shade on a hot day. The house has very attractive and comfortable furniture and the is well appointed with kitchenware and basic supplies. Lots of light and nice views. The bunk room was surprisingly small without any airflow, and our teens did not fit in the beds, so not ideal for sleeping well. And the A/C struggled to keep the house cool - even at night. But owners were easy to communicate with and the house is very nice, in good repair and we had a good time checking out Hyco Lake!

Peaceful serenity
Beautiful place! The lake is awesome and the house was fully stocked. The views and the scenery were amazing and so was the style of the house. We saw a lot of wildlife too and fully enjoyed the use of the canoe and noodles/tubes. This was such a relaxing trip - it felt more like a retreat than anything. Thanks again and we hope to be back again soon! Laura was such a pleasure to work with.

Relaxing Gettaway on Hyco
A beautiful retreat on the northern side of Hyco Lake. This house is tucked back in a quiet cove. The outdoor living spaces are amazing. There are multiple layers of lifestyle living to suite your small or larger group. The back side of the home has large deck that spans the length of the home. Each bedroom has a sliding door to the deck. If you want to enjoy a fire on a cooler evening, sit back around the firepit. The boat dock might just be one of the best on the lake. In addition to spacious first floor deck area next to the boat ramps, there is a giant second floor deck that spans the entire footprint of the dock. The furniture is high quality and comfortable. There are too many Adirondack chairs to count! Comfy outdoor couches on the upper deck. The host also provides a canoe. A variety of water floats are abundant. So much fun for your crew and everyone will find a place to be together or alone, whatever your preference.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Buker

Host profile image
I am from Spain and came to the US to attend grad school. I met my now husband at NCSU where he works and we now have 2 children and I call NC my home!.
We love the outdoors, traveling and music and the lake house is definitely our happy place.

Why they chose this property

This is not a mere business to us, this is our family home where we create memories and see our children grow up. The house was bought literally 1 month after our oldest daughter was born and we love to see our kids enjoy more and more things of what the lake has to offer as they grow up. We want to share the pure joy this place brings to us and help you, your family and friends create memories and share unique experiences that will last a lifetime.

What makes this property unique

I am very easy to reach via VRBO messaging or text message!
My goal is for my guests to have the best lake experience possible and enjoy the space as much as we do!
