the COTTAGE

Escape the noise, the traffic, and the stress of life. 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 so 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 or 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.)
