Wonderful gorgeous home with beautiful view

So many great things about this property: Comfortable beds in every room Nice rocking chairs on second floor Fully stocked kitchen or anything that you might need, especially nice coffee bar Tub for the kids and shower for the adults. Nice and quiet access to kayak/dock if needed Two kitchens to take your pic and lots of space for people to spread out. Only negative was the driveway was steep, but it didn’t affect our stay.

Tilley meet again

Owner went above and beyond to make sure our stay was going great! Communication was immediate. This owner cares about his guests and their experience at his property! Dock and amenities all there! Docked our pontoon there and was easy in and out! Wouldn’t hesitate to choose again if available for our next staycation!

We had a wonderful time !! This is a beautiful home on a quiet part of the lake. The owners have really paid attention to detail ! It has everything we needed. We spent most of time down on the new dock.(10ft depth) Its a nice location. Close to Lilys boat launch and marina. Norwood Mt Gilead and Albermarle are close. Rick, the owner, is attentive and very helpful.

A piece of heaven

The moment we drove up I knew it was wonderful. Then once we got in the house it took my breath away. It was so wonderful shut down. Everything was so beautiful fresh and new. It was more than we could ever dream of. It was truly a home away from Home so comfortable from the atmosphere to the beds to the deck with the rocking chairs. My son daughter-in-law and two grandson had the best family time together swimming in the lake and using the kayaks. It was wonderful. I can’t say enough about our stay but I can say that this will be our home away from Home when we go to the lake from here on out , this is where we want to stay. I want to say thank you to the owners for the opportunity to stay here in this lovely home.

Well appointed and comfortable!

Our family had a great long weekend enjoying this lovely home! The home was very well appointed, clean, well decorated, comfortable, and offered everything we could possibly need. The smart TV’s, provided linens and paper/soap products, kayaks, floating mat, dock space, etc was perfect and added to our enjoyment. Owner communication was good and he obviously wanted to make certain our visit was perfect. Friendly neighbors who enjoyed our teens playing “The Pina Colada Song” telling them to turn it up and a different neighbor inviting them to use their lake slide. All in all, a great experience and we hope to return next summer! Only recommendation would be the addition of a blue tooth speaker or stereo option on the main floor. Thank you for everything!

What a great week at Lake Tillery! The house was beautiful and well stocked. The owners were very responsive when we messaged. The beds were comfortable and there was a lot to do for a lot of ages and interests without leaving the house. Our kids loved the pop a shot in the basement, kayaks, lily pad and fishing off the dock. We were impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked and made it easy to cook and eat at the house. If you stay here, it’s worth a trip to Lefler’s Place - especially on a Friday - the ribs were a huge hit!

About the host

Hosted by Rick Whittier

Host profile image
Our families have spent the past few years enjoying Lake Tillery together . We especially enjoy riding the boat around looking at houses and thinking, “we wish we had a house here”. Now after a lot of hard work, we have a place of our own and we look forward to sharing it with you!

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is a quiet, family friendly place where you will not only will you be able to enjoy the lake but you are likely to see dozens of deer at dawn and dusk.
