Notes from the host
Blue Heaven on Badin Lake
The house was originally purchased by our family in the 1950's. In 2019, we took ownership of the home and transformed it into our "Blue Heaven".
We are located adjacent to the Scallywags Marina. Scallywags includes 24-hr non-ethanol fuel, a public boat ramp (for a $5 daily launching fee), great food, ice-cream and also a full bar! On weekends, they also have live outdoor entertainment. Checkout Scallywags facebook page for full menu, food specials and entertainment lineup/hours.
Parking: Up to 4 vehicles can park on our paved drive and under our covered carport. Overflow parking for larger vehicles and boat trailers is available across the road from the home as needed along our additional wooded property.
This historic lakefront property has been fully renovated and includes 4+ bedrooms, deep water for swimming and an extra wide established lot for privacy and beds for sleeping up to 13. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms and a fully renovated luxury bathroom with a beautiful fully glassed shower including Corian Marble tiling and huge rain head shower. Bedroom #1 (sleeps 2) includes a queen bed, Bedroom #2 (sleeps 4) has two sets of bunk beds ideal for kids, Bedroom #3 (sleeps 2) has a comfortable queen bed.
Downstairs you will find a family room area with 50 inch HDTV and also a 4th Bedroom (sleeps 3) which includes a full size bed and a twin sleeper sofa. Downstairs, there is also an additional Bedroom/Niche area (sleeps 2) with 2 twin beds plus locker storage as well as an additional luxury bathroom.
In addition to the 13 beds described above, we also have overflow accommodations for up to 4 additional paid guests including the following:
A fold out twin bed in the upstairs living room displayed as an ottoman.
A fold up portable twin cot in the basement game closet, and
A full size futon in the downstairs living room/TV area.
For the safety of our "younger" or furry guests, there are three adjustable baby gates to be used as needed.
Our home also includes a newly constructed two-story custom deck and a large glass sunroom with multiple doors and incredible views of the Uwharrie National Forest. You won't believe the views and variety of wildlife at Blue Heaven all while overlooking a huge 175 ft of waterfront property! We include a variety of watersport equipment to create your own family adventure.
To find shade and seek the lakeside breeze, you can enjoy a tin roofed and fully restored 1,300 sf boat dock providing some of the best fishing and playtime on Badin Lake. See recent photos of a few select fish.
The home includes approximately 2,600 sf of fully conditioned space not including a recreational basement and washroom area cooled by a window unit. There are multiple HVAC systems, a large capacity water heater, updated wiring and plumbing fixtures, all new beds and bedding, fresh paint throughout, all new luxury vinyl (waterproof) flooring and furnishings designed to handle wet feet and lake living. The main floor still has some of the character from the 1950's (check out the original phone, original farm sink in the basement, and select antique home furnishings).
You will enjoy an open floor plan complete with a fully updated and stocked kitchen, all new appliances, and a large gathering area with plenty of seating. Also in the main area for use during the colder months, we have a large original wood burning fireplace designed to heat the house with built-in fans. The upstairs living area also includes the 1950's dining room set and sitting for at least 6, plus the 5 original bar stools that line the spacious black granite kitchen island.
Basement entertainment areas include water views, board games, a dart board, corn hole and a pool table. The home includes fiber optic cable with 150+ channels, multiple HDTVs, and unlimited wireless internet service.
The home is custom designed to entertain multiple families, keeping children and house-trained dogs in mind...2 dog maximum unless discussed with us prior to your arrival (there is a pet fee if applicable and please be sure to indicate pets are included with your reservation). We do not allow Cats at this time
***We take extreme pride in the the cleanliness of our home. We, the owners, are the manager and housekeepers :) After every stay, especially with guests with pets, the house is deep cleaned. All bedding is removed and replaced with fresh linens. All mattresses and pillows are covered with waterproof, hypoallergenic protectors and changed out after every rental. We vacuum all furniture, baseboards, dust and sanitize all surfaces to ensure a clean environment. After pet guest, extra focus is placed on sanitation and hair removal***
The lower level deck includes a large stainless steel propane gas grill and comfortable sitting areas with a table for outdoor dining. Outside, while enjoying the lakeside areas, please help yourself to the natural stone fire-pit for cooking smores (includes some wood and fire starting supplies and the nearby Badin Lake General Store has plenty of wood as needed), a relaxing waterfront hammock, or enjoy our kayaks and paddle boards! We also have multiple life jackets available if needed. Our dock has three available boat slips which are large enough to accommodate your personal watercraft or boat. If boats happen to not fit in the slips we also provide ropes and buoys so you can tie up to the dock exterior. Make yourself at home at "Our Blue Heaven"!
PLEASE NOTE:
Cleaning Fee $195
If early and/or late check-in/ check-out are possible we will try to accommodate your request. A $58 fee will apply for either an early check in or for late check-ins (if approved and typically in 4 hr increments).
Due to high demand, we DO NOT allow checking in or out on major holidays.
****IMPORTANT: REGARDING EXTRA GUEST and FEE:
Blue Heaven is setup to sleep 13 guests in bedroom areas. We can however accommodate sleeping up to 17 guests if requested. Note that an Extra Guest Fee Will Apply over 13 guests and this needs to be discussed prior to occupancy. We understand wanting to share the lake experience with additional friends and family but we do REQUIRE you discuss any additional visitors with us, the homeowners, prior to your arrival so fees may be applied based on what amenities are used. Typically, a fee of $25 per person (Adult or Youth), per day and/or night will apply. This covers extra insurance, linens, cleaning, utilities, and wear and tear that comes with accommodating extra guests. We have a MAXIMUM PROPERTY OCCUPANCY OF 20 at any time. In the unlikely event we are made aware of extra guests using our amenities without our knowledge we will discuss with our renters and these fees may be taken from the security deposit.
For security purposes, there is a RING security camera ONLY at the front entrance of Blue Heaven.
