THE SPACE
Crowe's Nest on the Lake is the perfect setting for military families here to check out nearby Fort Bragg, couples and professionals visiting the many attractions and golf courses in the area, or families looking for a relaxed lake vacation. Our lakefront home is comfortably furnished — you should have everything you need to enjoy your stay. Three bedrooms are included (King, Queen, full) plus a futon in open office loft, two and a half bath.
Guests have access to great room, kitchen and dining, upstairs laundry, bedrooms and bathrooms as listed (with exception of rooms locked for owners storage). There are two steps to get into the house, common areas are on ground floor and there is a bedroom and full bathroom on the ground floor for guests that may have mobility restrictions. Home is comfortably furnished with a fully stocked kitchen. Back deck, grill, patio set and picnic table for outside dining. Please note: no access to garage, but there is ample driveway parking. If you are doing virtual work or school during your visit, we have a great office loft area (desk with a USB/wifi printer, monitor, office chair) with a stunning view of the lake.
Guests are welcome to use of our canoe, kayak & floats. Our home is located on a 125 acre lake that connects to another 250 acre lake. Our lakes are regularly used for swimming, fishing and boating — swimming and water sports are at your own risk. *Booking assumes you understand water hazards & hold harmless the host or community. Don't like the water? You can enjoy s'mores around the fire pit, play giant horseshoes, lounge in the hammock, or spend some quality time reading on the balcony, playing a board game or doing a puzzle.
NOTE: Security cameras are on premises on the front and back porch and in owners locked off areas; there are no cameras in the interior guest areas. Disconnecting or tampering with cameras or internet is a violation of house rules and grounds for immediate cancellation of reservation with no refund. We do require either a damage insurance plan which can be purchased for $79 or a refundable security deposit of $500.
THE COMMUNITY
Our lake community has several lakes available for canoeing, fishing and just floating the day away. It is an active community with playgrounds, a fitness trail, tennis courts, basketball goals, beach area and volleyball, and a golf course just outside our gates. (Note: Community pool is not available to guests and guests may not bring their own motorboats. Feel free to bring your kayak or paddle board.) Our gated community has 24-hour security and only authorized guests are permitted access. Please note, during the winter months, the lake may be purposely lowered a few feet to allow residents to perform maintenance on their docks, but it is still fun to kayak or canoe on.
Our well loved lakehouse is the perfect place to unwind and relax with family, including your fur family (pets allowed upon approval only). Enjoy the lake, cookout, play games. Locally owned restaurants and grocers offer delivery and curbside pickup. Should you wish to leave the house, we're just a short 30-minute drive to Fort Bragg, Fayetteville, or Sanford, and 40 minutes to the Pinehurst and Southern Pines area. In our surrounding area you'll find lots of fun things to do including hiking, golf, museums, antiquing, shopping, great restaurants and breweries & wine tasting rooms. The state capital of Raleigh offers museums, shopping, restaurants and the RDU airport just an hour's drive away.
WILDLIFE: Our property is in a lake community surrounded by woods. You will see wildlife including squirrel, deer, swans, ducks. You may also see insects, bugs, bats, snakes, ants, bees, wasps, spiders, mice, raccoon, fish, and other creatures that call the woods and lake their home. Please take care when hiking. For the safety of your pet and our wildlife, dogs must be on a leash and supervised when outside. Refunds or discounts will not be issued due to creature sightings or bug bites while exploring the surroundings. We do have quarterly pest control.
Cleanliness matters! Our home is professionally cleaned after each stay and all linens are washed between guests - including quilts, blankets, mattress pads and pillow protectors. Stays are limited to a minimum of three and maximum of 27 nights (may vary by season and there may be exceptions). A "starter set" of toiletries, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags is provided. This will not be replenished during your stay. Longer term stays may be negotiated with additional cleanings required. Please contact the owner.
We look forwarding to having your family visit Crowe's Nest on the Lake!
