About this property
Lake Summit Nest, peaceful retreat with dock & boathouse on cool, clean lake
Quiet retreat perched on a hill above Lake Summit surrounded by nature with all the modern conveniences. Enjoy the use of our dock/boathouse on a large cove of the beautiful, clean lake. Visit nearby historic places, national parks, restaurants and markets.
Originally the servants' quarters on the grounds of a home built by a founder of the lake during the 1920's, the Nest has been renovated into a large open concept space which is very private and has its own entrance. The owners live in the main house with their cat. Guests have access to the grounds and enjoy badminton on our court, swimming, fishing, kayaking , paddle boarding, picnics at the dock and walks along the lake road. Our boathouse is especially popular with guests and can be reached via the 88 stone steps or by car.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by melinda way
We are a retired couple very familiar with the area and quite willing to help with suggestions or directions. We also respect our guests privacy.
Why they chose this property
This property was built by one of the original founders of the lake in 1923. My family has owned the property since 1968, and through the years we have come mainly during the summers. My husband and I moved here to retire and really enjoy the seasonal changes. We changed very little of the personality of the property, but did add heat and air.
What makes this property unique
Everyone who stays here finds it very relaxing, but with plenty of fun things to do. Our guests can enjoy badminton on our court, wandering in the garden or lake activities at our dock/ boathouse. Use our kayaks and paddle boards to explore the lake, swim, fish and picnic at the dock. We are also close to restaurants, shops and grocery stores in case you feel like going into town (Hendersonville and Saluda are the closest and Asheville and Greenville are a bit further) There are many parks and hiking trails nearby too.
We really enjoy introducing guests to our beautiful area.
