Family vacation

We used this property for a vacation with our adult children and their families. The location on the lake was ideal for swimming and kayaking for all ages. The boat dock was a nice place to hang out and was perfect for docking our own boat The house has separate entertainment areas suitable for different ages groups. We also used and enjoyed the nice fire pit. This place was ideal for our family!

Summer Lake Trip

I can’t say enough of how amazing this trip was for me. I booked this house for my daughter’s birthday because she asked to go to the lake for her birthday present. The owners were wonderful and kept an open line of communication and frequently checked if we needed anything and how they could make our stay better. The house was phenomenal, our group of kids ranged from 10 months old to 7 years old. They loved the kids room and play area, and thought the bunk beds were so cool. The upstairs is perfect, open floor plan for everyone to kick back and enjoy one another and have a great view of the lake. The yard is safe for the kids to play in. The dock was perfect as well. A nice covered area with plenty of seating if you need a break from the sun. Then the swimming of the dock, you could not ask for a better spot. You’re off the main river so very safe from boats and watercraft’s. Everyone in our group was smiling from the second we got there and right through our entire trip. The kids did not want to leave and honestly I didn’t either! I can’t wait to come back and stay here again! If you have even a thought about getting a place on the lake in this area, don’t hesitate about this house it’s perfect. The owners, the house, location, lake, the memories created all get a 10 outta 10! Thank you so much for one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. Nick Pitillo

A Wonderful experienceE

We stayed with our five children, 3 of their friends, my MIL-11 people in total. It was perfect. We had plenty of rooms and more than ample seating for dining and playing games/watching movies together. The screen porch and dock were spacious enough for all of us. The house was very clean and our hosts were very responsive. We’ll definitely stay here again.

Christmas Vacation with the Family

Our family is larger than our home. To allow all the children and grandchildren time to be together, we decided to choose this home as an option. Not more than an hour from our homes, space, amenities, made this trip a wonderful success. Unfortunately it rained each day so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoors but the house was well stocked with everything for many different ages to stay active and entertained during our stay. House was very clean and easy access to the owner, but wasn't needed. The house even had a Christmas tree up for the children to enjoy. Great stacation for us!!

Another amazing stay at Lake Tillery

We stayed here this summer for a week and loved the place. It is convenient for our families who live around the state of NC. So, we booked it and went back as a family for Thanksgiving. The space works for our family. We love the open concept of the kitchen, dining area and family room with its views of the lake. The large dining room table is wonderful and easily sits our family of 12 (two in highchairs but when they graduate the table will still easily accommodate them.) The spiral staircase is steep and was our only concern after our summer stay but we brought a gate this visit and made it so the little ones couldn't go down. Weather turned quite chilly so we didn't spend much time outdoors but did enjoy the firepit one evening. We are already talking about planning a week at the lake this summer. Joel is quick to respond and easy to work with.
