This home just finished a full gut renovation that includes all new kitchen, appliances, bedrooms, bathrooms, floors, closets and furniture. It is also a smart home and includes WiFi, Cable TV, Sonos whole home (including outdoor) stereo system, Nest Thermostat and a monitored alarm system. Complimentary Nespresso is on-hand in the kitchen and included with each stay. In the back yard enjoy long lake views from the lakefront wood deck with firepit and large dock with 2 included Kayaks, 1 Standup Paddleboard and life jackets. In the front yard spend time relaxing up by the pond listening to the nearby stream run down to the lake.
Enjoy serene lake views from the living room, master bedroom and screened-in back porch with large table and new gas grill for outdoor dining. The flat backyard provides an incredible place for the kids to run and play games while parents watch. The new wetbar by the fireplace, built for the parents, has a sink and large icemaker to keep the fun going well into the evening.
The large master bedroom has a inviting king sized bed to relax in with night stands on either side. The wall mounted flat screen TV is a Smart TV with access to Netflix and Amazon right from the remote as well as Cable. The focal point of the master bath is the all marble shower with rain head shower and 2 additional shower heads to help you unwind after a long day of boating, hiking or shopping. A beautiful marble top vanity with double sink and plenty of storage goes perfectly with the marble shower. Finally, the walk-in master closet with new closet system has plenty of storage for all of the clothes and luggage you can bring.
The two guest bedrooms sleep 2 people each and have been completely renovated to include beautiful reclaimed wood study desks perfect for working on the laptop or studying maps for tomorrows waterfall trail hike. One bedroom has a plush queen bed with two nightstands. The other bedroom has two twin beds that share a nightstand and lake views from one window. Both bedrooms have walk mounted flat-screen Smart TV's with access to Netflix and Amazon Prime as well as cable TV. Both bedrooms also have feature a generous closet with new hanging closet system. These two bedrooms share a beautiful bathroom with a bathtub with white subway tile on the walls, a bowed hotel shower curtain and a marble top vanity with nice storage.
The Bunkroom Bedroom is large and perfect place for the younger guests to hang out and maybe even get some sleep. Two new matching triple bunk beds can sleep a total of 8 people on three levels and have built-in bookshelves and storage compartment. The top bunks and pull out bottom trundle beds are twins size while the bottom bunk is a full size bed on both. Also included is a very large walk-in closet with large closet system for storing clothes and luggage. For fun the Bunkroom has a large wall-mounted flat-screen Smart TV with a video game system and access to Netflix and Amazon Prime through WiFi and cable TV.

There are enough dishes and cutlery to serve 12 people and all utensils are included to prep the best meal for the largest crowds.
The beautiful dining room with tongue-and-groove accented ceiling is the perfect place to bring the whole crew together to enjoy a meal and talk about the day. New table and chairs for 10 offer a warm and relaxing atmosphere and nice lake view help accent the experience.
After dinner relax in the large and plush living room. Cozy seats draw you in and surround a large coffee table, which is right in front of the wood burning fireplace and has plenty of space to play games at night. A large wall-mounted flat screen TV over the fireplace is a Smart TV and has WiFi access to Netflix, Amazon Prime and Cable TV to watch all of your favorite movies, shows and sports.
Outside there is a full width deck on the back of the house with plenty of space to grill on the large included 6 burner propane grill with side burners all while enjoying the amazing views all the way down Skier's Cove. Inside the screened-in porch there is a nice large table and benches to share meals. A light and fan above the table keep light on the subject and you cool on those warmer evenings.
In the back yard, the entire lot is flat (which is SO RARE in Lake Toxaway) with no rocks so it's the perfect place to play a family game of volleyball, badminton, baseball, softball, soccer or kickball. Or take out the included Stand-Up Paddle Board or 2 included Kayaks (and life jackets for adults and children) and explore the lake and a leisurely pace or drop in a fishing line (fishing poles included). If you are more adventurous, rent a boat from the Lake Toxaway Marina during your stay and leave it tied up to the large boat dock. A removable swim ladder lets you take a dip off of the dock and easily get back up. To wind down the night, down by the boat dock there is also a wood deck with built in benches and a place to make smores on the portable fire pit.
For more recreation you can visit the many national parks that are very close by to experience the beautiful waterfalls, many hiking trails for all different levels and even horseback riding. Local outfitters also offer fishing, tubing, canoeing, zip-lining and gem mining.
If you would like a break from cooking, there are many great restaurants close by with all type of food. Most also serve liquor and even local craft beers.
For shopping, Cashiers is a short drive away or visit historic Highlands, which is just a little past Cashiers.
Getting here is easy from the Asheville Airport, which is 55 minutes door-to-door or a still-easy drive from either Atlanta or Charlotte International Airports.
In summary, my family and I have created the perfect lakefront retreat that we would love to spend time at and we invite you with open arms to do the same. Our goal is to give you the very best stay so you can create the very best memories. We manage our own property so if there is ever an issue you can contact us 24/7 and we have a great team around the house to help take care of you.
We welcome you and hope you will experience while this is such a magical home and Lake Toxaway such a magical place to visit.
