We had a fantastic 8-night stay at Mom's cabin and couldn't recommend it highly enough. The location on the lake front is really special and we had such a fun time in the water with our canoe & paddle boards. The nearby island, just a short swim away, with sunny beach and rope swing was a real added bonus.

Great stay

We traveled to Moms cabin from upstate NY for a family wedding in NC. It was a fabulous location, we had our 4 year old grandson with us and we were able to do morning and evening fishing which he loved! Loved the screened in porch, it was an excellent week of adventure.

Lake Life

It was a great time getting together with family and grand boys. Everyone loves the lake and one of the few sandy beaches was right across from the dock. Caught good fish and enjoyed the whole lake with evening boat rides.

Truly a gem of a property. Everything was as described or better. The home had many touches that were appreciated, such as a Keurig as well as a regular coffeemaker. Check in was a breeze, host was responsive at all times, and we enjoyed our stay immensely. The screened porch is fabulous, and enormous. Direct private access to the lake is just amazing. Lots of wildlife and we loved that somehow we felt so far away from it all but groceries and civilization is really right there within a short drive when we needed it.

Returning 5 Years in a Row

We have been staying at Mom’s Cabin for at least a month at a time for 5 years now. The views looking out over Lake Wylie are simply beautiful. The sunsets are especially spectacular. When we have had any problems we have always received a quick response and remedy. We hope to have many more years at the lake house.

We came down from Ohio to see family that lives in Lake Wylie. My granddaughter had a wonderful time

We had a wonderful time swimming off the dock and fishing off the dock my granddaughter even road are small raft over to the small beach on the island near the property. This is the perfect location for a family vacation. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pots and pans.

About the host

Hosted by William Lawson

Host profile image
My brothers and I inherited Mom's Cabin from our parents in 2013. It is where we spent our summers growing up, and where we have many lasting memory's. We all have separate lives now, but hope there are other families that can create new memory's at this special place.

What makes this property unique

A large, wrap around, screened-in porch greets you when you first walk in. The views of the lake are fantastic. A short walk to the dock and relaxing plunge into Lake Wylie. Close to Charlotte, Fort Mill, and Rock Hill.
