Hidden Gem
This charming home is tucked away in the trees overlooking a lovely quiet lake. The rooms are spacious and the property well equipped. Parking three cars took some shuffling but didn’t diminish our desire to return for another family gathering.

Connestee Falls House
Family vaca at Oak Lake House in Connestee Falls gated neighborhood near Brevard, NC. 8 adults for 4 nights. Wonderful experience. Best feature of this property is the back deck with its view of the lake and surrounding forest. The hiking trails inside Connestee are fantastic and varied. Highly recommend this property for its location, comfort, spaciousness, access to Lake Waneska and all that the Connestee Falls neighborhood has to offer.

Guys Trip
We loved the house with all the amenities. It was raining while we were there so the gym was a hit with the guys. Also the grill was awesome for 7 big eaters! The kitchen equipment was excellent. I really like the ability to make tea quickly. I would definitely rent again.

Most amazing deck overlooking the lake
We could have been on the deck all day long - the shade from the trees, the views of the lake and the wonderful chairs were amazing.

Family Vacation
There is something for everyone at The Oak Lake House on Wanteska. The paddle boards, kayak and canoe were awesome to have there and the dock is large enough for a group. It is a quiet neighborhood with beautiful wildlife and the view is amazing from the deck. We will definitely be staying here again.

Perfect Lake Getaway
The Oak Lake House on Wanteska was a perfect house for our family and friends. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of plates, glasses, silverware and small appliances. It was a nice perk to have beginning paper products provided as well as dish and laundry detergent and shampoo/body wash. The house was extremely clean and the layout was great. The kids were able to have their own space downstairs while the adults were able to hang out on the main floor. They also loved the ping pong table out in the garage. There are 94 steps to get down to the dock. The lake was SO clean and a great temperature! The kayak, paddleboards and canoe were great amenities to have. The kids also loved the lily pad sort of float too. We enjoyed the hikes and waterfall in the neighborhood as well. We would highly recommend this rental. The kids are already asking when we can go back!
