Sweetwater

  • Our cozy cottage is welcoming and perfect for a lakefront experience! You will love hanging out on our private beach under the River Birch, while enjoying lavish sunsets.

    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. It also has a great fire pit, perfect for stories and marsh mellow roasting.

We had an amazing time. We are originally from Miami, FL and came to visit family. We had a bbq at the house and enjoyed the outdoor fire pit, made s’mores, bbq and watched the beautiful view. The house was very clean and everything we needed was available in the house. Will definitely be coming back.

Summer vacation

We have stayed at this home several times and always enjoy ourselves. The home is clean and spacious and this spot on the lake has to be one of the best! Great area for tubing and wakeboarding and a short boat ride to Pappa Doc’s.

Weekend Getaway for Mother's Day

My son, daughter in law and my 2 granddaughters came up from Myrtle Beach for 3 nights. The house was absolutely perfect for our family and was completely equipped with every possible item you may need for any length of stay. The beach was wonderful for our 5 year old.

Perfect family get away

We loved our stay at sweetwater. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. They had pots, pans, knives silverwear, utensils, towels paper products and even some fishing poles. We enjoyed renting the boat a few days. The boat is older but did the trick and the kids loved being able to use the tube!

Wonderful relaxing vacation home

The Lake House was accurately listed, and a Wonderful relaxing vacation home. The small beach area was great along with the fire pit, canoes and dock. Inside was very comfortable and well stocked with all the essentials. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. the hosts were easy to get in contact with. If we get an opportunity, we will definitely stay here again. It was everything you would imagine a Lake Cottage would be like.

Fantastic Stay

Overall a cute small cabin that had enough space for 6 adults comfortably. Beach was great, fishing was fantastic right from the dock, onsite boat rental was super convenient. Exactly what we were looking for, somewhere to have fun in the water, and also to be close to restaurants to eat at in the evening. No complaints.

Awesome house; great location!

This house is exactly how it looks in pictures! It was wonderful to stay out! The beach and lake are also just wonderful to have. My dad really enjoyed having the screened in porch and sitting out there while sipping his morning coffee. Getting the key out of the box is a little tricky but follow the directions and you’ll get it!

Wonderful Lake Cabin

Our family of 4 enjoyed your cabin so much! The location was perfect. Downtown Charlotte is about 30 min away, yet the cabin felt secluded and to our selves. The beach area was perfect. We enjoyed sitting and fishing off the dock each day/evening. Dinner on the screened in porch was perfect. Thank you for the wonderful beds, sheets, and towels. We will definitely be back again.

Beautiful lake cabin

What a beautiful getaway! The cabin was spacious, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views of the lake were absolutely stunning, and we loved spending evenings by the fireplace—it added such a warm and relaxing touch. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep after our days of exploring. We were also so grateful that the cabin is pet-friendly! It was wonderful to bring our furry companion along to enjoy the trip with us. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic retreat!
