About this property

Enjoy Lake Waccamaw in a cozy cottage steps from the lake.

Escape the noise, the traffic, and the stress of life. The Cottage is a perfect spot for a family or small group of friends. Events or gatherings (which includes anyone not staying at the Cottage) are not allowed. The lake is approximately half way between the northeast and Florida. Treat yourself to a lake holiday, a special place in this world where your entire being is released and a true sense of serenity and relaxation floods your thoughts. There is no place as special as Lake Waccamaw. Old timers claim this lake is the “largest natural lake from Maine to Florida”. Lake Waccamaw is located about 35 minutes off I-95 taking exit 13A east at Lumberton, NC, (US 74 4-lane all the way). We are 39 miles from Wilmington, 51 miles from Southport, and 65 miles from Myrtle Beach.
Listen for the sounds of wildlife. Look at a world of waterfowl (mallards, coots, wood ducks, teal, merganser, bufflehead, cormorants, herons, cranes, kingfishers.) Enjoy the beautiful sunrises. Watch an osprey gracefully swoop for his dinner and maybe spot an eagle. “Hear” the quiet. Enjoy a special peace in a special place.
Our lakefront house includes 3 bedrooms, 1 bath with stackable washer/dryer, modern kitchen with bar for lunch and a dining table for 4-6 people. You have pier privileges with decking both covered and open for sunbathing or night star-gazing. The shallow water is ideal for young children and we have a sandy beach for play-time. Should you come don't stay too long because you might get “bit” (you may fall in love with the lake and not want to ever leave.) allowed

Peaceful get away

This is a beautiful home with an amazing view of a perfect sunrise over the lake. The place felt like home. We didn’t want to leave. The dock that’s on the lake there is just as relaxing as the home. It’s the perfect getaway to unwind.

Hosts Were Very Helpful

Tried to extend stay by 1 day thru VRBO with no success. Hosts were very accommodating. Twin bed mattresses are due for replacement. Bring your own toilet paper - they privide 2 rolls but that may not be enough.

Adorable Cottage

We very much enjoyed our stay at this adorable cottage. It was perfect for our group of 4 adults, 1 child. The view was beautiful! We enjoyed the availability of the pier next door as well. Thank you for the hospitality! You made 2 old women who grew up on Lake Waccamaw very happy!

About the host

Hosted by Bob & Gail Crutchfield

Host profile image
We have loved Lake Waccamaw all of our lives. As children we traveled with our families and friends to swim, fish, and just enjoy. As a young married couple we bought our first place at the lake. In 1984 we bought the home we live in now as a "get away". Finally, in 2002 we moved here permanently. We have owned "the COTTAGE" since 2001 and have rented it since then. We're excited about meeting our vacationers and look forward to each new experience. We're available if you need us and happy to give you all the privacy you want.
