Family weekend

The house was comfortable and a lot of room. The layout could’ve been a little bit easier to maneuver. Some of the mattresses might need to be replaced at some point but very comfortable. Having a space at the lake was very nice. We enjoyed using the canoe.

Beautiful setting, great for groups. Dirty.

House has a great lay out. Beautiful dock fire pit area and porches. Host was very responsive. House was dirty. Cobwebs everywhere. Hair in bathrooms. Trash and other items found in couch cushions. Moldy coffee grinds in coffee pot. Moldy shower curtain liner. Trash in upper bath trash can. Deck worn out, slippery and unsafe. Master toilet seat loose. Downstairs toilet flapper needed adjusted after each use. Has so much potential just needs lots of TLC.

Large family vacation

The dock was recently renovated. Plenty of room for our 2 boats and great cove for swimming! Nice decks facing the lake, screened in porch and 2 swings. Outside patio table with a grill. Be aware, there are 50 stairs from the lake to the house. Four private bedrooms with full baths. We had 10 adults all sleeping in actual beds, just the little kids were on pull out couches. Nice sized kitchen with very nice appliances. Had a DR that seated 8. Has 2 separate living areas, so lots of room to spread out. The house needs a little TLC, but has lots of space. There was lots of parking! We had 6 cars and a boat trailer parked in the driveway with room to spare. It is in a gated neighborhood with a security guard, but the guard leaves at night. We went to a concert in Charlotte and were unable to enter the neighborhood when we got back, despite using the phone access the owner had provided.

Worn house, Wonderful dock

I read all the reviews before renting this property. I wish I had given more attention to Lisa C’s review on June 12, 2020. She described the house as “worn and dirty”. She could not have been more correct, and two years later I can report it to be even more worn and dirty. I will say since her review, the lower dock has been completely resurfaced. I also disagree with her review of the cove, we loved it. But she was spot on with the house. On the positive: the house is big and has a nice floor plan for multiple families. The lower dock is very spacious and allows for multiple boats/jet skis, the cove is very large, deep water, easy to float/swim off the dock. It is easy to access the main channel from the dock. The upper location on the lake of this house is good because the waters are not as busy in this area. On the negative: the house is extremely worn and was not clean. I will not go into detail. I contacted the owners, and we have communicated several times about our differences in expectations. Bottom line, if cleanliness and upkeeps inside and on porches are important to you, do not rent this house. If you want to be able to completely forget about these things and just want a big open space that is great for groups to not have to worry about tip-toeing around, then this rental is perfect. For my family, as Lisa C said two years ago, the level of wear and tear was unacceptable. To each their own! I will say the owners were quick to respond, except to my last communication in which we had a greed upon a partial refund on the cleaning feel. I wish VRBO allowed me to attach pictures for my review. I am sure my opinions will be disputed, but I have lots of picture to prove my point. That is ok, we are all entitled to our opinions and personal expectations.

Great stay at the lake!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this house at lake Tillery! Great for a reunion visit with my childhood friend and his family. We had 9 kids there all together and it was great for the weekend. Boating, fishing, sitting by the fireside, and sitting on the back deck was enjoyable and relaxing. We also drove back to the small community Park. We will definitely be back when we can take advantage of the pool in the warmer months. The host was great! Very responsive and took care of everything we needed, plus more. Hoping to make this an annual tradition.

Love this house!!!

We absolutely loved staying at this lake house. It comfortably fit 10 people (with room for loads more)! Our group loved waking up and being able to enjoy a nice morning swim, lounging on one of the three porches, grilling out, and taking the canoe for a ride. Could not recommend this house enough - was the perfect place for a friend reunion. Will 100% be back.

Great Lake Location

You're paying for lakefront. The house sits on one of the best coves for swimming and access to the lake. It's so calm, even the 4 yr olds swam (with life vests). We loved having access to the canoe and 1 kayak. The house was very clean. Especially the kitchen and bathrooms. We cooked big family meals each day and the gas stove and grill were nice touches. I loved how the bedrooms were spread between the 3 levels. There's not a lot to do (especially with young children) in this area outside of the lake and the pool. We brought a couple of kiddie pools for the kids and set them up in the side yard, which was a big hit. My husband and I took long hikes around the neighborhood and found a couple trails. We got a good workout from walking the hills each morning. We ate at River Wild near Mt. Gilead and I would recommend the ribeye burger. Probably the best burger we've ever had. The veranda had a small leak in the roof and the outside dining area on the lower deck needs a good power washing, but other than that, it was great. The hosts were easy to communicate with and were attentive to our inquiries. We had a great time.

One of my favorite stays

This little lake cove is so much fun. We’ve been a few times over the years. Did notice that the place is really starting to show its age and abuse from frequent stays. Didn’t interfere with the fun, just looking rough.

Great Lake House

We rented the house for a quick weekend getaway with my family. The house is 3 levels, which was perfect for the different families. There is a huge dock which we were able to dock our 2 boats on during our stay and the house was filled with all the amenities we needed for the weekend. Going through the gate was a breeze as the owner had reached out for our drivers names before our arrival.

So much potential yet so filthy

House incredibly dirty. Arrived to clean, wipe and even scrub what we needed in the kitchen. Including trash can and fridge- so gross. Toilets slow to flush. Owners already aware but didn’t disclose beforehand. Bathrooms were probably the dirtiest of the house and certainly not cleaned before our arrival even hand towels were not fresh you could see the dirt. Hair everywhere. Spiderwebs were plentiful throughout the house, perhaps getting a head start on Halloween decor. We were a group of gals celebrating a 50th birthday girl and we made the best of it but the final straw was a mouse joining us as well…yes, you read correctly a mouse came out scurrying in the kitchen-ugh!! The owners response to my feedback was, it appeared we had a great time, WOW goes to show they don’t really care or maintain the conditions of the house. Oh and FYI, there’s a RING camera watching the house, so be warned! It’s really sad because with the right cleaning & maintenance this house could be a gem!

We are 4 retired siblings

The house was great, especially since it has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. However, there are some areas that need attention. The hall bathroom had mold on the shower curtain. The front door is difficult to close, and the pots and pans were in very bad shape. The stove did not have a low setting on the burners and it was hard not to burn food.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Westbrook

Host profile image
We grew up in nearby Charlotte and spent weekends on the lake. After discovering the tranquility of Lake Tillery with its beautiful sunsets, Morrow Mountain across the lake and the Uhwarrie Forest in our back yard we knew we wanted to have a home here. Our family loves boating, tubing, water skiing, fishing, hiking and entertaining. We are blessed to have all that here. We live nearby closer to aging parents. Lake Tillery is away from it all but not too far from it all. We would love to share our home so you can make your memories there also.

Why they chose this property

We love lake living and all that comes with it!

What makes this property unique

We love evenings watching sunsets on the screen porch, reading a good book on the porch swing that face the lake, grilling out with friends on the deck and swimming and fishing from the dock. Magnificent views from bedrooms and living areas. Cool breezes in the summer and a cozy fire in the winter.
