About this property

Off season special November through April. Stay 4 nights and get the 5th night free
Newly remodeled 1br/1ba with exotic hardwood floors, porcelain countertops, nickel appliances and hot tub overlooking the lake. Great screen porch for afternoon leisure. . 'Mile View is a cottage built on the shores of the beautiful and private Mountain Island Lake. Much of this lake is parklands, wildlife, sanctuaries and properties restricted from development. This home was built in 1952 and has provided decades of lakefront fun and fishing. Years ago the house was divided into two separate apartments. In 2011 we converted the upstairs into a vacation rental. We provide high speed wireless internet, flat screen TV's, comfortable furnishings but you can get most of that at a Holiday Inn. The unique experience you get with a stay here is that little step back in time. It starts when you pull in to the skinny gravel drive and end up at a plain but well kept mid-century home. There are paneled walls unit a/c and no dishwasher. No subdivision, no pool, no tennis courts. There are only two neighbors. There is a 2 bedroom unit above that is also available for rent. Unless you plan on renting both units you should be planning a quiet stay. Prior guests that have most enjoyed Mile View spend much of their time on the screened porch overlooking the lake. Mile View was built right on the lake's shoreline. You are so close to the boats going by you can see right inside them. At night when they cruise by you could truly join in their conversation. The place is very popular and in our decade of vacation leasing we have hosted nearly 1,000 guests. In that time we have learned that Rosella is not for everyone. We have tried our best to accurately describe the "experience". If that slow paced step back in time is not what you are looking for you may not enjoy Mile View, if on the other hand, you would like to relive the way things used to be or experience it for the first time we don't think you will be disappointed. We have contracted with a vender to supply you with a pontoon boat right at your dock. You can book it on getmyboat.com Search Charlotte It is a pontoon that is listed as Sun Tracker Party Barge DLX Tell Richard you are staying at Mile View.. He will give guests $50 off the posted price per day.
Note Dock, hot tub, fire pit and out door shower are in common areas

Beautiful Lake House

We really enjoyed our stay at this little lake house. It had everything we needed for our stay and everything about it is well done…from the inside to the outside! We’ll definitely return when we have time to rent a boat and cruise the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Rudolph

We are Bob and Kim and we are lake enthusiast. We own homes on several of the lakes in the area. We presently live on a lake close by and we love this place so much we spend many weekends here.

Why they chose this property

Mile View provides a fairly unique experience for it's guests. Located in the city of Charlotte
there is not another lake front rental that is closer to downtown (typically 15 minutes)
The fact that there is another unit attached is a different twist and we are strict in our vetting of potential guests because of it. The result is that we have never had a compliant
about the behavior of an adjoining guest. In fact we have had guests that have met and
planed their next stay to coincide with their new found friends.
Many of our guests come to experience the National White water Center. If you come, we strongly suggest you visit there. It's a man made river rapids that you can kayak
or do a guided raft run. This is the only man made Olympic qualifying rapids in the country. There is vertical rock climbing, zip linning and a lot more outdoor adventures.
If you don't feel quite that adventurous there is a riverside restaurant where you can get a great meal and a glass of wine that you can sip while you watch crazy
people careen down a wall of water and rocks. There are also summer concerts and island sunset parties. It costs just $5 to park and nothing to visit the center.
You can drive from Rosella, park your car, and walk to the rivers edge in less than 10 minutes.

What makes this property unique

Mile View truly sits on historic ground. The old Rozzelle plantation house was just 200 feet away, later named Laura's Rozzelle House. The old home was used as a pre-civil war ferry docking point and a boarding house and then restaurant until the 1980s. The property this house sits on has been used for rest and hospitality for about 170 years and if open your self to the experience you can feel it. Try not to think of Rosella as a commodity, leave your preconceptions of what it should be behind and open yourself to
feel the foot prints left by literally thousands of travelers that preceded you. If you can
do that we think you too will understand why we think Rosella is so special.
