Heron Landing: Escape to Lake Mayo. Private cove, where nature abounds!

This quiet, relaxing home is located on Mayo Lake. A floating dock that is perfect for those wanting to bring their boat. Home is located close to the public launch at Mayo Lake Park. Convenient to Roxboro and many shopping options, restaurants, movie theatre and bowling. A newly renovated bonus area downstairs with a game room, perfect for the kids and the young at heart! The game room includes a large screen TV, pool table, foosball and dart board. There is also a third full bathroom downstairs. Excellent fishing off the dock or use one of two kayaks or the canoe available to explore and fish. The deck overlooks the lake and a wooded lot with a fire pit. A charcoal grill is located on the deck for perfect evening gatherings. On clear nights, enjoy star gazing away from the light polution of a city. A fully stocked kitchen ready for nights in or the fresh catch of the day. Mayo Lake is quiet and perfect for the family or group looking for a place to unplug and relax together. Nature and wildlife abound at Heron's Landing. Time to start packing for a visit!

This was a great spot for our family. Such a nice, quiet place on the lake; we enjoyed the kayaks and canoe with our family, and the game room was a ton of family fun. Marilyn was so great to work with. We will definitely be back to this spot!

The actual house was even better than in the pictures. It was well-equipped; we had everything we needed. Even on a rainy day, we found ways to enjoy ourselves with the games provided by the owner (and our own too). The property is very private, and having direct access to the lake is excellent!

Very relaxing place to get away and just hang out with family. Game room provided hours of fun when we were not on the dock fishing or boating on the lake. We only left to hit the store for food. Great Place!!!!

Just a wonderful place to getaway with family or friends. I love that they include the kayaks/canoe for having fun out on the lake. Feels like your own private corner of the world (unless the neighbors are home, but even that's not too bad). I love the privacy of the lot, the access to the lake (you will get a work out walking up and down the yard!), and the proximity to town is quite convenient. Can't wait to come back again!

We loved staying here! We got married and needed a place for all the bridesmaids to get ready and for pictures of the dresses! It's a beautiful place! She was awesome and answered all questions and was helpful! Would definitely recommend

Very nice stay! Beautiful lake view and easy access to fun days out in the lake. We had 2 small kids so the spiral staircase from top to bottom was a little challenging for them! So many fun games and activities right on site! Would love to have had maybe a set of larger bowls (when you have a crowd to feed) in hand l; otherwise fairly well stocked. Love the seclusion at the end of a road:)

Just loved our stay at this place. What a gem! I was so sad to leave when our time was up. It’s like having a piece of lake paradise all to yourself.

This was our home base for our holiday family visit. Perfect size and amenities to allow us to relax and get away. The nationwide E911 Centurylink outage crashed the internet/TV service but owners, Marilyn and Mike were extremely responsive in helping us get back up and running. Great property!

With the oppressive heat, it was nice to have the basement for some cool down time! Took the canoe and kayaks with the kids out to the main lake one morning for a very peaceful ride. House has everything you need.

This house was exactly what we needed. The pictures are accurate. The house was located on a cove that provided an easy paddle to the main lake. Fishing and kayaking were great. The house was well stocked. The owners were great! We had no issues, but they were leaving as we arrived and went the extra mile to make sure we were all set!

The home was as advertised. The available games and equipment provided unlimited entertainment for both young and old. Traveling north to the Clarksville area we enjoyed the hiking in Occoneechee State Park and visiting the antique shops. The Lake Mayo Park was interesting and permitted us to swim in the cool waters.

Very quiet area on Mayo Lake. We used just about all of the lake and indoor toys during out stay. Only turned on the TV to watch a movie one night after a long day on the lake. The photos do not do the property justice. Would highly recommend!

We had fully intended on staying at a hotel for the trip but because of my ptsd My wife looked around for other possibilities and she found this place. We arrived on the 26th to have a second Christmas with my son and daughter from SOBO VA and the 4 days were like being in our own home and all six of us had a blast! From the wall colors to the house facing the water. We loved ever minute of this place and will be returning asap! It was so peaceful and beautiful...thank you for sharing such a beautiful place!

Our first visit to Mayo Lake and will want to return again. We did not even go to the Mayo Lake Park as once we entered the property, we did not want to venture anywhere else. The house was beautiful, comfortable and inviting. It was unseasonably warm for mid May, in the 90s, but with the wonderful breeze from the lake and the shade trees, the weather was perfect. After having coffee on the large beautiful deck, we spent most of the day in the back at the floating dock watching the turtles, herons, and fish jumping and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. We did not kayak or canoe this trip but look forward to that in the future. In the evening we enjoyed the pool table and darts in the basement. So much to see, do and enjoy without leaving the property. Our time ended too quickly but it was a wonderful place to visit and hope to do it all over again.

Home was clean and the perfect size for my family of 4. We did have my inlaws come up for 2 days and with 6 of us there it was tight on space but doable. Plenty of ganes in the basement to keep us entertained during the bad weather. The internet was ok but if you are trying to worl remotely it tends to bog down. Kitchen was well stocked worh dishes and pans. Our only real complaint was the listing said it had a gas grill when it was a charcoal grill. We have never cooked on charcoal before so we had to google plus go out and buy charcoal and lighter fluid. The cove is ideal for life at the lake. Its quiet so the kids could swim, fish, padel board, kayak, and our boat wasnt being tossed around by wakes all day long like weve had at other homes. We enjoyed it so much we had planned to go bavk in July sadly the dates weren't available.

I loved the house and location. It was super clean, well decorate, and with a fantastic view. It had pretty much everything that I needed. The hosts also were very responsive. The towels were extra soft and the bed was very comfortable. I slept in the loft while the rest of my family occupied the other two rooms. The house is in a very quiet and private place yet it is only 10 minutes from Roxboro. Access to the lake, the dock, darts, the pool table/ping pong table, deck, grill, kayaks, fire place, etc. make it an awesome place to relax. I very much enjoyed my morning coffee with a fantastic view of the lake. I only wish we had more time there. We got unlucky with rain but the house had internet and netflix so we ended-up watching some movies. I had to contact Marylin upon my arrival because the storm knocked out the smart TV service. She and her husband responded within few minutes and I got the TV working again based on their instructions. Overall, I highly recommend this place and I am very grateful to the hosts for great set-up and letting us use it.
