Top McDowell Nature Center and Preserve Hotel Reviews

Serene Getaway with Hot Tub, Sauna, Firepit, Kayaks, Pontoon & Jet Ski Rentals!

8/10 Good

"Helena was the best host I have ever dealt with! Very friendly and responded quickly. The house was huge and was decorated absolutely beautifully. The pics don't do it all of the justice it deserves. It was perfect for my large family.However, we did encounter many large water bugs inside of the house at night and many many spiders outside at the porch areas. This caused us to choose not to use the hot tub. Insects were cautioned in the listing but we were not prepared for the amount.Overall it was a good vacation rental."

Waterfront Cottage, Fiery Sunsets

10/10 Excellent

"Lake side cabin with a pontoon. Great location, very quiet with birdsong. Some deer wandered past on our last morning. All the amenities you need to stay comfortably and short drive to shops for groceries. With large suitcases stairs could be an issue but we managed fine. Very good washer and drier if you are mid trip! Great hosts!"

Sweetwater

10/10 Excellent

"The Sweetwater property was an amazing experience overall. The communication prior to our stay was excellent and flexible to meet our travel needs coming from 10 plus hours away with a 5 year old to make sure our trip was seamless! We spent the entire 6 days at the home on the dock and in the water feeling that we never needed to leave to fulfill the expectations of our 1st vacation of the summer. I’d recommend the Sweetwater property to anyone, you will not be disappointed!"

Suite w/ Private Entry and Nature Trails ($40 cleaning)

10/10 Excellent

"This was a birthda present from my daughter. She invited two of my closest friends to spend a night with me. We absolutely enjoyed the peace and serenity of the location.There was lots of space for four of us. We were able to move around comfortably with out feeling crowded. I loved the color of the room itself. It was a colorful pastel in the blue family. The bathroom was large and roomy. The beds were enough for five people and bedding was plentiful. I would have preferred a two burner stove too, for cooking meals but overall it's a great place to stay. The host responds quickly and it is definitely a beautiful place to stay!"

Luxury Lake House, Pool, Hot tub, Dock, Beach, Game room ,Boat Rental available

10/10 Excellent

"I was highly impressed with both the host (Rick) and the overall experience. Communication was exceptionally professional, prompt, and courteous throughout the entire stay, which made the process seamless and stress-free. The property itself was immaculate, thoughtfully organized, and exceptionally well-equipped with everything needed for comfort and convenience. It was evident that great attention to detail and hospitality went into preparing the space. The accommodations exceeded expectations and created a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend the property to anyone seeking a high-quality and enjoyable stay."

Perfect Winter Lake Getaway Villa on Lake Wylie - Family Friendly + Lovers Dream

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic lake views from numerous well furnished decks. Including a large deck directly over lake. Wonderful infinity swimming pool. Our two grandsons could not get enough playing by lake, on the decks and in the pool. There was a problem with the HVAC when we checked in. Host responded immediately and somehow managed to get a repairman out within a few hours. Problem solved. Only negative was the upstairs bedroom has no blinds or curtains, morning sun is pretty bright. Overall we give it a ten."
