About this property

Our cozy cottage is welcoming and perfect for a lakefront experience! You will love hanging out on our private beach under the River Birch, while enjoying lavish sunsets.

Reserve our pontoon boat to explore the beauty of Lake Wylie. The boat will be delivered to your dock on the evening before or morning of your booking and picked up when it is time to go. Check for owners specials from time to time.

You will love the beach! It is perfect for the kids to run around and play in the sand while you watch from the patio or dock. The "bay" offers a safe swimming environment, being indented into the shoreline, feel comfortable and confident that your loved ones are safe from boat traffic. You will have access to a canoe, kayak and stand up paddle board to launch out on an adventure from the beach. It also has a great fire pit, perfect for stories and marsh mellow roasting.

Also on this floor is the master bathroom with a beautiful travertine shower, large closet with a new top-of-the-line washer dryer. The master bedroom is located on this level with a king sized bed, walk-in closet and a fabulous view of the lake.

Great place, wonderful manager

Our group of extended family had a great time at the lake. We rented both Sweetwater & Pearl cabins for the week (which manager, Georgia, went above and beyond to arrange for us), and we couldn't have asked for a better set up. Both cabins were clean & well-stocked on arrival. The beach/dock areas, and screened porches were a great place to just hang out with family, fish & swim. It was extremely hot the week we stayed, but the trees on the beach areas provided decent shade during the day, and made it possible to actually enjoy being lakeside in 100 degree weather. Very convenient to Charlotte. Overall, great place, and probably one of the nicest property mangers I have had the pleasure to deal with.

Great Home and Deck

First, Georgia (homeowner) was outstanding with communication. Quick and clear responses to any questions. Second, the house was clean and convenient in a great location on the lake. The 2nd floor screened in deck with fans was where we spent most of our time playing games, eating and relaxing. We rented a boat from Georgia and she made it very convenient (offered to drop it off at our dock). 5 stars all around.

Amazing property

I stayed with a group of 6 girlfriends for a very low-key bachelorette weekend. The house was absolutely perfect - we got some great beach/dock time in when it was sunny, and when it rained, we played games on the huge second floor screened in porch. House was pristine and adorable. We didn’t get to use the boats, but they were there if we wanted them. Highly recommend this house for small to medium group get togethers!

Plus two roll out sofa beds with new 5” foam gel mattresses ( stored in the shed). Living rooms both top and bottom floor , with fireplaces if you are in the mood.. Excellent tiled bathrooms, lotsa hot water and towels ….laundry room if you need it. Kitchen is well equipped with appliances , gadgets and a strong ice maker for party animals. Gas stove, dishwasher, full size fridge and a microwave. Garbage day is Monday FYI. Jumbo televisions each floor for the nearsighted elders, LOL . Wi-fi is strong. Furnace heat and Central air all work as they should. Two heating zones. upstairs vs downstairs. Community water well with strong water pressure, to scrub off the beach sand. Jumbo screened in upper rear porch for everyday dining or relaxing ! Man made sand beachfront is very nice for kids. Kept clean from west wind debris by an underwater fence , good engineering solution! Waterfront has kayaks, canoes and well stocked with live vests and paddles. Dock is large , and has a gated seating area. A few fishin poles on the downstairs patio. BYOB. ( Bring your own bait) Hostess Georgia has her ear to the phone in case you need any thing or advice . Great customer service! Can’t go wrong with a beautiful sunset. Easy on the pocketbook too. Make your reservation now! Cheers!

BEST THANKSGIVING EVER

We loved our long Thanksgiving break stay on Lake Wylie. The house was amazing and perfect for our family of 5 - us (the parents), 2 teenagers, and grandma. In addition, it was the perfect place for all of our extended family to come for dinner/game night/football watching/boat rides who were in town for the Thanksgiving Holiday to give my sister in law who was hosting the big Thanksgiving Dinner in Fort Mill a break from the crowds. Beautiful weekend, beautiful lake, beautiful home and we hope to be able to rent it again next year for Thanksgiving.

About the host

Hosted by Georgia Hayes

We are both natives of Charlotte. We went to rival high schools and then rival colleges before we met after college back in Charlotte. Despite our different views on ACC basketball and football, we both agree on our love for Lake Wylie.

Why they chose this property

I grew up coming to Lake Wylie on the weekends to my parents cabin located very close to Sweetwater. After college I became a General Contractor, renovated their cabin and was able to live there while the renovations took place. (LUCKY ME!) Needless to say- I was hooked! I loved Lake Wylie. I had been looking for a place of my own and jumped at the opportunity when Sweetwater came on the market. The place needed some work, however it had a certain charm that I knew couldn't be passed up. We bought this wonderful cottage, renovated it for a year, and it is now available for rent.
