About this property

Five Acres and 400' of Crystal Clear Lake Front

Great house, gorgeous location! Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, near historic Shelby and Kings Mountain, NC. We have 5 acres of rolling hills and hardwood forest, directly on 400' of waterfront. Plenty of space to let the kids and pets run around! Only 45 minutes from Charlotte, but worlds away from the hustle and bustle.

Moss Lake is a quiet, spring-fed lake that is very clean (it’s the primary water supply for Kings Mountain) where you can canoe, fish, water ski and jet ski without the mayhem of other lakes near Charlotte. Close to Kings Mountain, Historic Shelby, Crowders Mountain, Schiele Museum, golf courses AND other attractions - there is plenty to do if you want to get out and about.

The waterfront includes a large private dock with mooring cleats, only a few minutes from a public landing so getting your boat there is a breeze! With state-record bass, it’s perfect for early morning anglers; with stunning views, it’s also perfect for a sunset canoe or kayak ride (both are available for your use). Or, kick into high gear with your jet ski or power boat. Whatever your pleasure, you’ll enjoy your water sports away from the crowds for a relaxing and fun experience.

On the property is a charming farmhouse with two bedrooms and one full bath and one half bath specifically set up for accommodating and entertaining large groups (owners have 5 kids, who all bring their friends for overnight sleep-overs!) With a queen-sized bed in the master bedroom, two sets of bunk beds in the other bedroom, as well as a queen-sized air mattress available the great room - which all mean you can sleep up to 6 comfortably, or up to 8 if you have a big family like we do! Includes newly renovated modern kitchen and bathroom, washer/dryer, new water heater, A/C, etc. Media includes HDTV with DVD player, free WiFi, and a bunch of popular movies for your use. We even have a closet full of books, puzzles and board games if the kids ever wear out from all the fun in the sun.

This is truly a 'hidden gem' we are renting out again this year - discover it, and love it like we do!

Absolutely perfect

We just spent Thanksgiving week here and had a fabulous time. The house was roomy and comfortable for our family and little dog with everything we needed & so much more. The property & lake view was stunning. It was so beautiful to watch the sunrise in the mornings & stargaze at night. We even saw deer most mornings! We'd love to come back when the temperature is warm enough for the lake activities.

Beautiful property, great hosts

We had a gorgeous week at this property. The lake was lovely and clear, and the boat traffic was low even though the boat launch was nearby. The house itself was wonderfully stocked and the beds were cozy. The hosts had also provided plenty of outdoor equipment for entertainment, it made the stay enjoyable and stress free. I would book with them again without hesitation.

Private and quiet

Once you pull into Lohith, you are surrounded by trees on 3 sides and, of course, the lake. It was a very private retreat and we didn't hear anything from the neighbors. The long dock and sandy bottom lake, made for great swimming and untold amounts of cannonballs. We were in the lake every day. No weeds and clear water! Access to a canoe and 2 kayaks was a real bonus! The house layout is well suited for a family vacation and comes well stocked with everything you need. The kitchen and bathrooms are very nicely updated. The couch was comfy, the beds were comfy, the A/C was cold and the shower had great water pressure. Book a week at Lohith, you won't be disappointed!

5+ Stars for this bit of Heaven on the lake

This was our 25th home rental and this property checked all the boxes! Amenities and activities are provided for indoor and outdoor fun. Games, puzzles, kayaks, sailboat, fishing gear, & canoe! Our all too brief stay was outstanding. We swam the lake & did a lot of jumping off the dock. Very private property and our dog thought we were in summer camp. Labeled light switches, a fully stocked kitchen. We are ready to move in as is. We hope to make this an annual vacation spot when we visit grandpa! Already thinking about dates for next summer. Book this lovely home.

Wonderful Home

Great accommodations and the most breathtaking views!! We came to celebrate my little brother's wedding and when he asked if he and his friends could just come by to sit by the lake before the big day I couldn’t have been happier! The owners do a great job to make their house feel like a home. I’ll add the view finders were an absolute hit!

Perfect extended stay

My wife and I recently retired and wanted a get-away to celebrate. Lohith was perfect for us. It is close to many activities and restaurants, yet secluded and a beautiful setting that will may you want to stay put and enjoy Lohith. We enjoyed hiking, biking and relaxing. We also spent a day in Asheville, only 1 1/2 hours away. The house itself was well stocked with EVERYTHING and was clean. The bed was very comfortable. We took our dog, who enjoyed watching squirrels, deer, geese and other animals, as well as playing in the lake. It was well worth the price. We would certainly be willing to stay there again.

Ultimate Relaxation!

A great property to relax with privacy, we were lucky to have perfect weather all week! The house was well stocked, over the top to accommodate us from the kitchen, super comfy bed, bathrooms, loved the mud room at the back entrance for your stuff when coming in from the lake. Enjoyed the swing at the bottom of the huge yard, kayaking everyday, the lake water was warm and very clean. Was able to set up our dome tent on the dock everyday and in evening for relaxation. Had great experiences and food visiting fantastic restaurants in nearby towns. (search online it's worth it!) I highly recommend this little charmer for a peaceful and quiet getaway, Thank you Steve and Michelle!
