Community pool season: The community pool is open Memorial Day through Labor Day; the clubhouse and pool deck remain open year-round. Security & cameras (disclosure): The property has four exterior security devices — a Ring doorbell at the front entry, a Ring camera on the upper deck focused on the stairwell, a Ring camera on the lower deck facing the back exterior door, and a Ring camera on the side of the house facing the walking path to the fire pit (the fire pit itself is visible at the far edge of the camera's view at a distance).

The house was beautiful and extremely clean. It was very peaceful, private, had an amazing sunset view of the mountains from the deck, and so many games to play, plus a very relaxing hot tub and fire pit area. The landscaping and lights at night were beautiful. It was also very close to several very good restaurants such as the Aztec Chef and The Copper Penny Grill. There was a very nice picnic area with trail leading to the lake inside the community very close by and the house was a short drive to several parks. The host was very friendly, responsive, and check in was so easy. Loved everything. Would highly recommend this place.

Ian’s home is absolutely wonderful. The location is super peaceful, but close enough to everything you might need. The home is perfect, very clean, great layout, and welcoming. It truly felt like being at home. Honestly, if you are going to this area, try to grab this place for your stay. You won’t be disappointed!

We had an excellent stay at Maple Hill Lookout. The house is new, beautifully maintained, and very comfortable. The views are fantastic, and the amenities made it easy to relax and enjoy our time together. The location was peaceful yet very well situated, making it easy to explore many great activities and destinations throughout North Carolina. Ian is an amazing host, friendly, responsive, and easy to work with. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Find us

You’ll definitely want a car to get here—Lakeside Reserve is a peaceful, private community tucked away along the shores of Lake Rhodhiss. Once inside the gates, though, it’s easy to slow down and explore on foot. Enjoy leisurely walks or bike rides within the private community, along quiet roads and scenic trails surrounded by nature. Nearby towns like Hickory, Morganton, Blowing Rock, and Asheville are all about a 1-hour drive away for great restaurants, shopping, and mountain adventures.
