About this property

This cottage is a 2 bedroom(s), 1 bathrooms, located in Claremont, NC.

Nestled in a cove on Lookout Shoals Lake, Mallard Cottage is a small bungalow raised on piers to elevate it above ground level. This provides a special view of the lake that is as beautiful in the morning as the evening. Our yard is fenced with gates as we are pet and kid friendly. The exterior was updated in the past two years and the interior has just completed a full remodel....it is very fresh, open, and welcoming.
The lake side has two large glass doors that give a full view from anywhere in the kitchen, dining, and living room areas.
You will likely spend most of your time on our deck chairs with your feet propped up enjoying your favorite beverage.
It is a small quiet neighborhood with great neighbors. Don't be afraid to introduce yourselves but please be respectful of their property and the noise levels - no parties allowed.

The cottage is self checkin. While we are close by, we will not interact in person unless necessary out of respect for your relaxation and privacy.

The neighborhood is a short peninsula that extends into Lookout Shoals Lake, Ridge St. dead ends not far past Mallard Cottage.
The area is quiet with friendly neighbors. If you have to park outside the driveway please do not block the boat ramp in the vacant neighboring lot, it is used heavily by locals.

Keyless entry by keypad to enter.

The cottage is 2 bedroom 1 bath with an amazing full deck elevated on the lake side. The yard is fenced so your furry friends can safely roam the property. We ask that you please pick up and dispose of any animal waste.

Great Cottage

I was looking for a great place to stay for a week just to get away when i came across mallard cottage. The cottage was clean and check in was fantastic. The location was great as it was located equal distance from Asheville and Charlotte. The views from the deck were outstanding and a wonderful place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee while watching the ducks swim around. Our fur baby enjoyed the fenced in yard. Communication was great with property manager and there were no surprises. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are looking to come back next year.

We were very happy and hope for another visit!

It was clean and well equipped. There was dog toys too! There were spices, coffee and wine! We actually brought our keurig lol. We might suggest new bathroom towels. The dryer was down so I couldn’t wash them. The wonderful host alerted us right away, before we arrived. We might suggest a bench on the pier. A way to see local news is all I can add. It was great! Thanks so much! ❤️ we will definitely be back! ❤️

The WOW house!!!

This home was Amazing!! I called it the WOW house!! Soon as you pull up you think WOW!! The view WOW!! As soon as you step inside the house you think WOW!!! I’ve cleaned a lot of beaches houses over the years and this was the most beautiful home I’ve ever been in. Everything was so clean! So perfect!!! Very dog friendly with fenced In yard and a toy box full of cool doggie toys. Our dog loved swimming in the lake and running around the yard and playing in the doggie toy box….. Very nice and peaceful!!! Very quite neighborhood . We may have seen 2 people and maybe 2 cars go by the whole time we were there. We went to celebrate my birthday and get out of the house while my husband is recovering from his back surgery. It was perfect location we were able to ride and see the parkway. Next time we may bring our sailboat and enjoy the beautiful lake or may be returning a lot sooner to see the leaves change color. It was perfect!! Can’t wait to go back!!! Thank you to the owners for sharing you paradise with us. We are sooooo grateful!!! Thank You!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

Tranquil Paradise

Immaculate home on Lookout Lake. The thoughtfulness put into this space was amazing. Beautiful inside & out with incredible views. Enjoyed swimming, fishing and paddle boarding right off private dock. Lovely fenced in yard for our two dogs to safely play and lounge in the sun. BBQ grill & outdoor seating for your family meals. Hammock & porch swings add to the whole peaceful outdoor living space. Will definitely be returning to this lovely vacation home!

Great little lake house!

This place was perfect for us! Everything was clean and nicely updated! The kitchen is stocked with everything you would need if you are planning on cooking. The only negative we had was the bed was not the most comfortable and is a bit noisy when you shift position.

Hidden Jewel

We wanted to get away but not spend hours in the car. This cottage is in a wonderful spot, close to Hickory. Comfortable & tastefully decorated. Beautiful view & great amenities. The kitchen is fully equipped for foodies. Easy check in & communication from the hosts. Our dog was happy too! We loved the deck and hope to return. Highly recommended.
