About this cabin rental
Our cabin, Overlook, rests on the main channel of Lake Wylie, yet is tucked inside a sheltered bay. It is the closest proximity to Charlotte of any lake in NC. In 20 minutes you can be downtown and 15 minutes to the airport! There are fabulous restaurants, shopping and other amenities within a 10 minute drive. We have a fully stocked kitchen with all the cookware wine glasses etc that you will need for your stay. The 180 degree lake view oriented due west provides some exquisitely dramatic sunsets. You can relax and unwind while you watch amazing scenery from the patio, the covered porch, hammock or dock.
The house has tongue and grove wood paneling throughout, even on the ceilings of the den and dining room. It has recently been updated, but the original "lake cabin" feel has been kept. It has the feel of privacy and seclusion.
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.
Upon entering, you will find the cabin to be clean and well kept. We take great pride in this! You will have clean sheets, clean kitchen, and house so you won't need to worry about bringing anything but yourself!

We had a great time a the property. We would suggest that owner include in description that there is a many stairs to climb up and down to get to beach/water. Some of our party were in their 60’s and it was difficult to access the lan and beach.
A grab bar/handle to assist getting out of tub/shower would be grest also. Overall it was a relaxing and enjoyable vacation property

They have a nice, fast pontoon. Rooms are good. Nice view of lake. Front Outside doesn’t have the most curb appeal but don’t let that scare you as it’s nice inside. Rent the boat for a day!

Loved the little beach in the backyard. Kids loved the canoes, kayaks and jumping off the dock.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The view was breathtaking; pictures do not do this place justice. The vibe of the house was perfect, creating a welcoming atmosphere that felt like a true home away from home. We loved being able to bring our dog with us and having plenty of space to walk him around. Georgia was incredibly sweet and always quick to respond to any of our needs or questions, making the stay even more enjoyable! The location of the house was perfect. It provided a perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility, making it easy to get to nearby stores while still enjoying the peacefulness of the lake. I highly recommend this beautiful lake house and we can not wait to return!

Cute little cozy cabin. A little rough around the edges, but nice just the same. If you’re looking for quiet- the rental neighbors are kind of in your space as well- so you may or may not have a relaxing time depending on who is renting next to you at the time

Watching the sunset from the screened porch was a beautiful experience. The beach was great for us and new sand was also brought in while we were there which proved to us that the owners really want the best experience for their guests. Highly recommend this property.

The views from the Overlook were awsome. The screen room was a wonderful place to relax with nice rocking chairs. The kitchen was fantastc, everthing you could need and plenty of room to prepare it. The beds were comfortable, a great sleeping experience.
Their Pontoon was a lot of fun. But best of all was the host herself. Georgia was a wonderful, kind and congenial person who was very responsive and always pleasant.
I would highly recommend staying at the Overlook. Campfires on the beach were a delight each evening. I'd give a 10 star rating if i could.

This lake home was wonderful and comfortable! Had everything we needed, an absolutely beautiful view as well as nice neighbors and super friendly deer! Our family including our 2 dogs felt right at home from the start. Georgia was amazing to work with and extremely personable and accommodating- we also rented the pontoon and had a wonderful day on the lake riding and tubing! Highly recommend and would love to come back here again and again. If laidback, peace and quiet is what you are looking for you found it with this gem!!

Great property with awesome beach and lake access. House was very clean and warm, kids loved it and felt right at home. Only downside was the proximity to the airport, lots of planes flying overhead. Great place though overall for a family vacation!

The cottage was a nice home base to stay in during our visit. We really enjoyed the screened porch that overlooked the water.
I traveled with an elderly relative and I was concerned the front walk was a bit challenging for him to navigate, however once inside, the walking areas were well lit and clear,
Old condiments were left in the refrigerator and there were items in the freezer. We had room to store our items so it was a minimal inconvenience.

Comfortable older (1970s) house on Lake Wylie with a rural feel has everything we needed to spend a fall getaway with our two dogs from our big city up north. Easy to access, perfectly quiet (except for the sounds of geese and acorns dropping on the roof), and within a relatively short drive to services (grocery stores, etc.) to be convenient. This is the second time we've stayed in one of the Overlook properties - the other time at a house nearly next door - and when searching for a rental, I was pleased to be able to secure the property in the same area managed by the same people and will do so in the future.

We had a great time at the lake! The view is amazing. Sitting out on the pier watching boats sail by was wonderful. The kayak and grill were put to good use. The screened in porch allowed us to enjoy the view even during a downpour. We would definitely stay again!

We had a fantastic time. Quiet and beach was fantastic for us our dogs and kayaks. Had everything we needed for a getaway. If needed shopping and everything else is close but location is surprisingly situated quietly on the lake. beaches are close to one another but we did not have other rentals next to us at the time. We will be back

A Wonderful Week at Overlook
We had a memorable vacation on Lake Wylie! We really enjoyed the screened porch with the beautiful view...and the easy swimming access and beach made for a lot of fun with our kids and grandkids. The kayaks and canoe were greatly appreciated and having the dock for boating and fishing worked out well. Georgia went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly and is an excellent host!

Loved it! Beautiful views and beach.
This cottage is adorable! It was perfect for our family of 4, but it could definitely fit more. We spent days on the beach with our family and nights watching the beautiful sunset. The hosts Roger and Georgia were so accommodating. I highly recommend this property! We will definitely be back.

Nice place for family getaway
Place was quite nice and cozy for family of 4.
Nice sand area by the lake for kids to play and adults to relax. Plenty of water “toys” to use for kids and adults. Boat rental is a nice addition by the owner with very good price.
Property manager was always in contact and ready to resolve the issues.

Nice week vacation
My family had a wonderful stay. The pontoon boat was a great plus for my husband and son to go fishing all day around the lake.

Mini Getaway with my sister
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The view off that back porch was beautiful. It was nice to be able to see the lakeview from the family room. In the main bedroom, even while laying in the bed you can see the lakeview. It was relaxing when I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a boat sailing on by.
The place is not fancy, but it is simple and clean. I have no idea how old the rustic wood is but it’s beautiful and cozy. The kitchen was fine for my sister and me. We did bring our own air fryer, definitely bring extra paper towels for bigger families, and don’t forget your toilet paper. There is a nice size dining table. If you absolutely cannot do without your seasonings, or favorite cookie sheet then bring it with you. The furniture was not the most comfortable, but we mostly stayed on the porch or outside so it didn’t bother us. The bed was comfortable. I wouldn’t describe it as a firm bed. We brought an extra fan which helped us stay comfortable on the back porch
If you’re looking for a quiet, simple rustic place to vacay at…then this location will be just perfect!

Quiet and Private Cabin on the Lake
Clean and Cute!
Everything you need to have a wonderfully quiet and relaxing stay. My husband and I practically stayed in the screened in porch the whole time. We watched a rain storm come across the lake, Exhilarating!

Perfect Getaway
Everything was perfect! Great communication with the host Georgia. The home was warm and cozy! Quiet neighborhood Exactly what I was looking for. Beautiful beach, just right out your back porch kayaks and canoes readily available a fire pit to make s’mores during the day or evening if you wish! It was a bit chilly out side but it was still beautiful. I was able to fish caught a few crappies and bass and had them for dinner. My overall experience was perfect! Thanks you again. Hope to stay with you guys again soon.

Lake Retreat
This was a great place to stay! Perfect for 4-5 adults & great that pets are allowed. The pups loved sitting on the screened porch watching the lake activity. The grill was also great to be able to cook with. Lots of space to sit and hang out.
My only suggestion would be to have more towels for guests.
