About this property
Lakeside retreat with private dock on Palmerville Lake!
Bring your own boat to this cozy retreat on Palmerville Lake to make memories fishing, skiing, kayaking, and more! This quiet lake is 3 miles long, yet is 2 miles from the public boat launch on the much larger Badin Lake. There is a fire pit for evenings making s'mores and enjoying the fireflies in the summertime.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Teresa Copper

We are excited about sharing our lake cabin for lovers of the water and outdoors! Lovingly renovated in 2022, Lakeside Retreat is our guest cottage next to our main lakefront home. We jet ski, waterski, wakeboard, knee board, kayak, canoe, and swim from May to October. From Pinehurst, NC, we hope to retire to the lake one day!
Why they chose this property
We were looking for a place near a lake when we happened upon Palmerville Lake through an ad on craigslist. Our hope was to make memories with our family and the lake was a wonderful place for us during covid.
What makes this property unique
You are welcome to use the kayaks and canoe that are on the property! The boat launch to Palmerville Lake is at the end of the street, so bring your motorboat or jet ski! There are typically no more than four or five boats on the lake at a time, so it is a safe place for children to learn water sports. You will see gorgeous herons, hawks, ducks, deer, wild turkey, and other wildlife around the lake.
Lakeside Retreat is only 2 miles from the downtown Badin boat launch on Badin Lake and 7 miles from the Old Whitney boat launch on Badin Lake.
