About this property

This great home has 4 bedrooms - 2 queen, 1 king, and 1 bedroom with twin beds, plus a cat napper sofa. There is also a portable cot that sleeps 1. This updated home has updated appliances and granite, and both bathrooms are completely renovated with tile and marble. There is a wonderful screened in porch facing the lake with spectacular, unimpeded views of the water and wildlife. You will love having your morning coffee there and watching the sunrise. The kitchen and living room area is one big open space and is designed for large families. Beneath the screened porch is a patio with a porch swing and outdoor furniture. There are plenty of floats and various sizes of life jackets for enjoying the water, and there is a ping pong table, 2nd bath, and washer/dryer downstairs. There are also 2 kayaks and a paddle board for guests to enjoy. In 2018, we built a beach area at the water front with real beach sand. It's such a nice, relaxing feature, and children especially love playing in the sand. There's also a fire pit for those evening gatherings near the water around the fire. In 2019, we added an additional indoor stairwell leading to the downstairs. If you have a PWC (personal watercraft, like a Wave Runner or Jet Ski), we have installed a landing pad joining the pier where it can be safely parked when not in use. Guests are welcome to bring their own boat which can be parked safely on the side of the pier. (The boat lift is reserved for the owner's boat.)

5 adults and a toddler at Badin Lake.

We spent a week in Diane’s house before my sons graduation from Pfeiffer University. The location and setting are superb. The house is very clean and well equipped, with everything we needed (except an iron, or could we just not find it?). Everyone in our party had a ball, and we would love to stay in this house again when in the area.

Beautiful lake house

The stay was wonderful beautiful weekend with all the fall colors! Got married at Stoney Mountain Vineyard about 35 minutes away if you can keep GPS signal for directions (T-Mobile not best in these areas) It is still is a 5 star rating for the house, location and amenities the house provided! Would stay here again. Thank you Dianne for being a great hostess! 👌👍😁

Lovely Baden Lake Stay

The whole family really enjoyed our stay in this cozy home. Some of us fished. Some took advantage of the kayaks. Others just enjoyed the view from the awesome deck. The owners anticipated everything you could possibly need. Hope to visit again.

Wonderful views from dock, screened-in porch and house

First time at Badin Lake. My mom and I stayed here in early September. Dianne was a great host and responded to our one question promptly. The house is 4 bedrooms on the main floor with a full bath on each floor (1 bath downstairs in the basement, washer/dryer down there too). 2 kayaks (guessing 8 ft) and lots of water toys (paddle board too). Everything in the main floor is updated (including downstairs bath). Another review noted the upstairs toilet is close to the shower but it did not bother us (I am 5'10"). The screened-in porch was lovely for having our meals (also a dining table in the house) and sun protection. The furniture on the dock was new and so comfy. There is some shade on the dock during late morning and later in the afternoon which is nice. There are 4 ways into the water. It is beneficial to wear swim shoes to get in and out of the water, but not necessary. We loved the house and are already planning to go back a couple times next year during the swimming season.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Dianne Watterson

We are semi-retired Christian couple with four grown sons and seven grandchildren. We moved back to NC in 2015 after being in MD for 12 years on a work assignment. Our home is in Lexington, NC. We own and operate a tree farm on our NC property that grows privacy screen trees. Our lake home is just 30 minutes away.

Why they chose this property

One thing we really love about this property is the gentle slope to the water. We did not want a lot of steps to walk to get to the water. Another thing we love is that this home is a rancher style. Houses in the Lake Forest area are not jammed on top of each other like in other areas of the lake, so we liked the size of the lot. The property is very close to a marina that has a restaurant.

What makes this property unique

We both love to fish and enjoy the water, but as we still both work, we decided to share our lovely home with others who would enjoy it like we do. When we started looking for a lake home, we settled on this property, primarily because we love Badin Lake for its superior water quality and beauty. The house needed updating, and we are glad to be finished with all the hard work involved in making this a comfortable and lovely property.
