Summary: We really enjoyed this Cottage. The owner did an awesome job labeling everything inside so you had no guesswork. The property was very clean and there was nothing we could have needed. We will definitely be back!! The view of the lake and the serenity of the dock were wonderful.

Summary: My husband and I stayed a week and we were spoiled! This house is beautiful and had ALL the amenities we could ask for. The pier on the lake was so relaxing and quiet. The neighborhood friendly and safe. The landlords were more than accomodating, making sure we had everything we needed, easy to get a hold of and personable. We had a great experience here and would book again in a heartbeat. Thank you to our landlords for making our stay memorable and easy!

Summary: Cypress Cottage was extremely well appointed/decorated with all the amenities necessary for a couple to stay at. The owner was gracious in letting us check-in early so we could drop our luggage off and get groceries and supplies for our 4day Memorial Weekend. My wife and I wanted just wanted to getaway as well as explore family history on my wife's side as her mother's lineage settled in Ivanhoe , NC in 1767. We saw historical family homes, grave yard and churches. It was just awesome!
