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.

Great view and location

Nice beach on property..Downstairs very bright, nice bathroom.House is old. Could use some TLC. Had a couple of roaches the first two nights, but Terminex was just done before we arrived so they were probably left from earlier.

Wonderful vacation on lake front with beautiful landscaping and surroundings.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was everything we were hoping for. It was nice and cool when we arrived and we enjoyed sitting on the back porch watching the birds and the boats going down the lake. What a relaxing place. I highly reccomend this place to anyone who wants to be out in nature.

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!

Enjoyable week at Lake Wylie

We spent most of our time on the spacious and beautiful screened-in porch. The views are lovely, and Georgia's (the owner) listing accurately describes and depicts her welcoming home. Fishing from the property's dock was a highlight. Georgia is a treasure and highly responsive. Thank you for being so kind.

Fun on the lake!

The house was well equipped with everything our family of four needed to spend four days at Lake Wylie. The beds were comfortable and the covered deck looking over the water was a great place to start and end every day. The kids enjoyed having access to the kayaks, tubes and swimming. The boat was fun as well and got us out on the lake. Can’t wait to come back soon.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We had a lovely Mother's Day weekend with our family. The kids loved swimming on the beach, the boat rental, and flipping off the dock. Dinners and morning Matcha on the porch overlooking the lake were beautiful. The location is excellent. Close to town but it feels like you are away from it all. Thank you, Georgia for being such a great hostess. We hope to come back again next year.

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!
