About this property
Luxe lakefront home with dock, kayak, canoe, home gym & great outdoor spaces
Casa de Yayo
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
A gorgeous setting both inside and out, this luxury home on the shores of Lake Toxaway is a place for taking in the quiet beauty of the North Carolina highlands. In this blissfully tranquil spot, you'll have a small dock at the water's edge, a canoe, a kayak, and life jackets to take out each morning.
This three-story lakefront home is full of understated luxury and style. Begin each day on the ground floor, working out in the well-equipped gym with two TVs, readying the canoe and kayak for a morning paddle, and sipping your coffee on the flagstone patio overlooking the lake.
Moving upstairs, you'll find the main living spaces on the third floor, including an inviting family room with foldable glass doors that open to a covered deck. Adjoining this room is an elegant kitchen with stainless steel appliances, including a French-door refrigerator and a gas stove. There's also a farm sink and a large island with bar seating. There's also a formal dining room and plentiful outdoor seating for evening barbecues prepared on the Big Green Egg.
There are two top-floor bedrooms- one lakefront room with an en suite bathroom and direct deck access and another with an en suite bathroom and a connected study that serves as a fantastic work-from-home space with a computer, copier, and printer. The second-floor bunk room offers a lake-facing play area for the kids.
