About this house rental
Create memories year after year at this quaint bungalow with deep water & a dock! Floaties & kayaks provided, nature preserve in the cove, fire pit, WFH setup & the best sunsets!
This property is unique as it’s in Jacob’s Creek cove on LKT where boat and jet ski traffic is little to none. The cove also has a nature preserve where you’ll see wood ducks fly in, blue herons raise their chicks each year, ospreys hunt in the evening and you can kayak to see beavers!
The Blue Heron Bungalow is named for just one of the many birds who occupy our cove. The blue herons have a nest in the tree across the way and raise their chicks every year. You can catch our blue heron friends “fishing” off the dock roof most mornings if you’re up early enough! We love to watch them and appreciate their presence as they eat/deter snakes (we haven’t seen a snake the whole time we’ve had the property and we give credit to our feathered friends/namesake).
The home has 3 bedrooms (2 kings & 1 queen), one pullout couch, 2 full bathrooms and has an outdoor shower on the side! The home is setup/focused on letting as much light in and enjoying the amazing views. Each room has its own tv (fire stick) and there are cards and board games around the house for you to enjoy.
Kayaks and floaties provided for enjoying the lake. Bluetooth speakers are all set for listening to music on the deck. The dock is covered and uncovered for however much sun you want to soak in! We have a hammock and manual jet ski lift you can use.
All motorized vessels should be mentioned prior to booking.
Before your arrival, your unique lock code will be texted to you. Park in the driveway please! Check in and out via the app.
Lake Tillery (1hr from CLT & 2hrs from RDU)
You will enjoy your own drive way and parking area.
Practically next door to other bnbs if you’re hopeful to host more!
Enjoy the dock with water 10ft deep (no diving) in one of Lake Tillery’s favorite coves known for being private and across from a conservation area.
No HOA so you can come and go as you please. For the safety of you and your vehicle, and to maintain house rules, exterior security cameras are in use. Mostly they are used for watching birds, but they are there just in case. They will be able to detect how many people you bring with you. 8 MAX.
The bungalow is 10 minutes to Albemarle center with grocery and dining options (you can even DoorDash!) while also being a 5 minute drive to hiking/outdoors.
Neighborhood suitable for short walks but car preferred for anything beyond. No sidewalks. No public transportation. Bike routes nearby, but when we’ve asked friends who’ve biked Uwharrie and come to this area for the trails, they would not call the area "bike-friendly"
BUT The Uwharrie bike trails are amazing and only 5 miles away.
Maximum 8 people. Children over 10 are considered people.

House was accurately described. Communication with hosts was excellent. The dock was very nice for our boat and for relaxing and fishing. I would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing stay at the Blue Heron Bungalow. Perfect location. The cove is one of the best on Lake Tillery and you are far back enough to avoid boat traffic. Dock was great and able to fit the boat nicely. Will definitely stay again.

This house had everything to offer. We loved the cute house and the boat dock was awesome! Great location for fishing, tubing and swimming. Communication with the owner was great. We most definitely will come back….

We had a very pleasant 4-day stay. The home was clean and just as it appears in the photos. It is in a quiet neighborhood, and also down a quiet part of Lake Tillery in a cove. The dock was large enough for all to hang out, complete with chairs, a ring toss game, and a couple of kayaks that we did enjoy using out in the cove.
Up in the yard there were chairs set around a fire pit, and another set on the deck next to the house with comfy cushions kept in a bin.
The house was well stocked with utensils, basic supplies, games, and towels. The beds were comfortable, and It was handy to have a washer and dryer, and 2 full bathrooms. The only very minor inconvenience were the barn doors that connected two bedrooms to a bathroom in between. We had a 9-month old baby with us, and the pack n play only fit in those two bedrooms. Barn doors do not close into frames, so light and noise from the bathroom and laundry make it not very private. They were adorable, but not great for noise privacy. Not a deal breaker, but worth mentioning.
The whole house was nicely decorated and very comfortable, and the owners quickly responded each time I had a question. We enjoyed our stay very much!

We had a great time at the Blue Heron Bungalow for a couple nights. The house was super clean and the hosts were very accommodating! The cove is very quiet and we enjoyed taking the kayaks out & being able to keep our boat there to go out on the lake as well. Being pet-friendly was a big plus! Thanks for a great couple days on the lake!
