Enjoy the beautiful sunsets and lake views from every room and deck!

Beautiful rustic, yet sophisticated house built in 2008. It is on a large wooded lot on the main channel of the lake with a really big water view. The best sunset view is from the upper screened-in porch, with the trees silhouetted in between. Blue herons, cranes, and many other birds and wildlife. Hike to the dam on a trail through the woods; enjoy sitting on the dock or swimming and boating off the dock in the summer.

State of the art kitchen with a gas range, double convection ovens, magnificent granite counter tops, and a natural stone bar with soft lighting. Dining area connects the kitchen to the den, which has a huge stone fireplace, comfortable Bob Timberlake furnishings, and a 63' high definition plasma television with surround sound. Wet-bar in the den has a built-in ice maker, wine rack, and handy sink. Screened windows open in front and back to allow a wonderful cross breeze if desired.

Off the kitchen is a screened-in porch with rustic rocking chairs and tables. The huge deck, connected to the kitchen and den, is equipped with a gas grill and a small table for outside meals. Steps lead you downstairs to a raised wooded walkway to the dock.

Every room has an a full view of the water. You feel like you are in a tree house, which is where it got the name Tarheel Tree house! The main master bedroom has a large walk-in shower with dual shower heads.

Three bedrooms: 2 masters with queen beds, 1 bedroom with 2 queen beds. The beds are made for comfort with pillow-top mattresses and homestyle quilts. Bedrooms are decorated for with artwork and charming furniture.

The detached garage has a playroom above it with pool and foosball tables, along with a queen-size futon. It is not air-conditioned or heated, so it is most comfortable when temperatures allow for the window and door to be open for a cross-breeze.

There is one twin-sized foam mattress that can be moved to any room in the house for sleeping.

Keywords: Sophisticated yet rustic, outdoor fire pit, stone fireplace, big water view, awesome decks and porches

Absolutely gorgeous views and property
Can't say enough great things about this property!! True luxury and beautiful views from all bedrooms and living areas. Amazing screened in porches with rocking chairs and several wonderful seating areas on the back porch, close to the water and a beautiful dock area that you can sit and read on or just hang out. We even did a polar bear plunge off the dock...so much fun. This amazing Lake home is a must stay and we will definitely be back!!! House was stocked with everything you could possibly need!!!

Beautiful Lake House
Enjoyed our getaway to High Rock Lake. The lake house was cozy and decorated very tastefully. The Tamarac Marina is the closest place to grab a bite to eat. The food was quite good. They also have a general store as part of the restaurant. You will be off the beaten path a bit but if looking for peace and quiet, this is your place.

Home away from home
From arrival to departure this house was an absolute pleasure to stay at. From the kitchen to the living room to the bedrooms to the deck and waterfront the house just has a nice flow to it. It allows for people to be together as well as to have some privacy. I would stay here again without a second thought.

Great house
We had a great time at this property. Very clean and well maintained. The owners were easy to work with also. Deep water off of the pier for swimming or fishing. The show stopper however is the view from every room in the house. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic Lake Views!
Wonderful long range lake views from every room in the house really make this home an amazing experience. The weather was hot but nice so we spent a good deal of time fishing off the dock with some nice catches including 2 huge Catfish and the biggest Bream I've ever seen. The 2 nice screened porches were great in the cooler times of day. A great 5 days here and would definitely return.

A little disappointed
The house was gorgeous but there were some things that were disappointing. There was no coffee, creamer, sugar, Tupperware, foil, spray cleaner, etc. These items have been in every VRBO that I've ever stayed in. There was also some shoddy maintenance done on the window over stairs and the wall behind the door of one of the bathrooms. We had to make our own beds with sheets that barely fit and were bleach stained. Again, really loved this home but also disappointed.

Fun in the sun
Beautiful home!!!! A lot of steps to the lake but so worth it for the amazing view. The only drawback was some dogs running around and coming up on the deck. They were friendly and fortunately there was a gate and we kept it closed. The air conditioning broke while we were there and the owners took care of that quickly and got someone out there to fix it. Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay
Our family had a great week at the lake! This house is beautiful and well stocked and clean. It is a great location on the lake too. The only bummer was that the room over the garage didn't have air condition and we had counted on that for sleeping space. I don't remember reading that when we booked but totally could've been my oversight. To put in boats/jet skis, you will want to use tamarac marina. Thanks for a great week!

The view is breathtaking! I don’t think we could find a better place 😃. We already booked for 2025!
Extremely relaxing! Love love the screened in porch and we played cards outside on the table facing the water. The breeze was amazing and the beauty was breathtaking. Specially every evening with the sunset God is good.🙏

Beautiful vacation home in a great location
We really enjoyed staying at the Tar Heel House. It was just what we were looking for on our long weekend getaway with friends and family. It’s nestled back in the woods which gives you the feeling of being in the mountains. Every room in the house offered amazing views of the lake. Easy access putting the boats in at the marina. Lots of open water for skiing, wake surfing and tubing. The fishing was great as well. We caught a variety brim, crappy and catfish. We will definitely be booking and staying again.

Wonderful house, great fishing!
The large, very well equipped kitchen, table big enough for 8-10 people, and comfortable great room with huge TV. Comfy bedrooms, ALL with great views of the lake. Great fishing, right from the dock! And very responsive owners. We really enjoyed our stay. Warning: the driveway down to the house is steep and there are 56 steps down to the water. But that adds to the fun!

Beautiful home that was exactly as advertised. We were in the area for a family wedding and we totally enjoyed the house. The owners were even kind enough to buy an iron and ironing board so that we could iron our wedding clothes. Gorgeous view of the lake and lovely area. Definitely recommend this property.

We were celebrating my daughters 30th birthday. We had a great time on the lake, we took our corn hole and played on the deck. There was plenty of room for the family meals. Tarheel Tree House has all you need for lake fun and room for gathering...inside or out.

Absolutely Perfect!
I’ve stayed at a lot of rentals over the years and this one is by far the best! Although it is secluded and off the beaten path it has everything you could possibly need to feel at home and there was really no reason to leave. This was a staycation for us since we only live 20 minutes away but we wanted to enjoy some time on the lake and that we did! We fished from dawn to dusk and spent lazy time floating in water. I am particular about my cooking supplies and always being my own stuff but didn’t need any of it because the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, bowls, utensils, etc. Tons of outdoor seating in the 2 screened in porches, deck, and dock. The owners of this home spared no expense and we felt at home from the moment I arrived. We will definitely rent this gem again!

Lake house with a mountain vibe
We loved the location and all the trees provided a feeling of solitude. The dock was great for a quiet morning coffee, afternoon swims, and wonderful sunsets. We also enjoyed screen porches on two levels and outdoor deck space. Inside had plenty of space and we liked how the secondary bedrooms each had their own toilet/sink room with a shared shower in between. The owners were very responsive and helpful. There were 5 of us and we had plenty of room for meals, games, and just relaxing. We really enjoyed our time there.
