Family and friends long weekend on the lake. Perfect location, excellent amenities (kayaks/canoe, floats), and thoughtful and responsive host. This will be my first choice when staying at the lake in the future.

We absolutely loved our time at Lake Glenville at Cottage on the Point! The house is exactly as described, but even better in real life. Tastefully furnished, immaculately clean, and my 11-year-old daughter loved that she got to sleep in the "Tar Heels" room. We spent many hours on the screened porch overlooking the lake, reading in the hammock, enjoying morning coffee, and listening to the sounds of nature. This is such a serene area and having dock access to the lake was a dream. We used the kayaks every day to go to the waterfall around the point and swam in the warm lake water. The surrounding areas are worth a visit too. We went to High Falls (hike to large waterfall), Cashiers (Whiteside Brewery), Highlands (upscale town with a great hike to views of Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountains), and Slide Rock (rock slide for kids and adults). We also ate at Happ's and Slab Town Pizza. Both were great! There is so much to do in this beautiful area if you want to be active or staying at the Cottage and enjoying the lake and home relaxing. We live in the Bay Area, so Lake Glenville was a long way from home, but we are already talking about going back next year to stay at Cottage on the Point! Thank you, Joyce, for all of your hospitality and communication too!

We loved the screened in porch with the comfortable couch and the large dining table. We spent much of our time out there. The kids loved tubing, fishing and swimming off the dock. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. It was a long distance from town but we were aware of this before we rented and planned our trips to town accordingly. We had a great time and would definitely return!

We had a great stay! Plenty of room and screened porch was awesome. Spent lots of time enjoying the lake!

I recently rented this wonderful home for five nights. It was just as pictured in the photos, but the entire interior seemed fresh and new. I was glad to find a well equipped kitchen, an enormous screened porch with a large dining table, comfortable mattresses in every room, and a delightfully decorated basement game room where the foosball table was a huge hit with our grandchildren! Access to the lake is down a steep incline with many steps, which was difficult for my elderly mother, and which had everyone’s hearts pumping during the climb back up. Once you are on the spacious dock at lake level, you will not want to leave! The water is deep, clear, and cool. The owner graciously allows use of her four kayaks. My 6 year old granddaughter was thrilled to make a solo trip to the small island just opposite. The house is 25 minutes from Cashiers on a winding mountain road. We ate lunch there one day, but did not venture out at night. We felt very secure in the gated neighborhood.

I almost don’t want to tell everyone how great this property is because I feel like we’ve found a hidden gem! But it deserves to be recognized! We had so much fun! Kayaking or just hanging out on the back porch…everything was so relaxing! I definitely recommend renting a boat from the nearby boat rental place. Also…Whiteside Brewing…AMAZING! There are 3 different waterfalls close by on the lake that are easy to get to with a boat. Owner communication is top notch. There was a tree down on the road when we drove to the property. It was late so I hated calling her, but she was super helpful in telling us another way to get there. This is definitely on our list for a possible annual family vacation! Note: you’ll definitely want to do some grocery shopping for meals and use the full kitchen available as most restaurants are about 30 minutes away, but that didn’t bother us at all!

We enjoyed our stay. Everything is provided for. Great location on the lake.

The house is just perfect for vacation! We LOVED that back porch and kayaks!We played cards and games and watched all the fishermen... We will certainly return!
