Charming Home w/ Porch: Walk to Greers Ferry Lake!
Guest rating: 4.7 / 5
Overview
This charming Higden vacation home offers a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-story retreat within walking distance of Greers Ferry Lake. With a covered porch, deck, and private yard, it's designed for guests who want a relaxed, home-like base for lake adventures. Note that access to the home requires stairs, and it operates as a self-catering rental rather than a traditional hotel.
Rooms & Sleeping Arrangements
The home sleeps guests across a queen bedroom, a second bedroom with a full bunk bed and twin trundle, and a sleeper sofa in the living room, making it suitable for small groups or families. Indoor living spaces include a smart TV, DVD player, board games, books, and a dining table with breakfast nook for shared meals or downtime.
Kitchen & Amenities
The fully equipped kitchen features a dishwasher, electric stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and cooking basics, dishware, and flatware, allowing guests to prepare meals in-house rather than relying solely on nearby restaurants. Additional comforts include free Wi-Fi, central air conditioning and heating, ceiling fans, in-unit laundry (washer), an iron and board, and keyless entry, plus outdoor amenities like a charcoal grill and covered porch seating.
Location & Recreation
The property sits close to Greers Ferry Lake, with Lacey's Narrows Marina about a mile away and other marinas, boat ramps, and Narrows Park within a short drive, supporting swimming, fishing, boating, and water sports. Dining options nearby include Bentley's Restaurant and Buffet, The Boar House & Pizza, Las Playitas Greers Ferry, and Sonic Drive-In, while golfers can reach Indian Hills Golf Course and Mountain Ranch Golf Club within about 11-13 miles. Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport is roughly 73 miles away for those flying in.
Parking & Practical Details
Covered parking for two vehicles plus ample driveway space is available, and boat or trailer parking is allowed on-site, a useful perk for guests bringing watercraft for the lake. Exterior security cameras are installed for safety but are deactivated prior to guest arrival.
Best for
This home suits families or small groups seeking a self-catering lake getaway, thanks to its two bedrooms, sleeper sofa, full kitchen, and walkable proximity to Greers Ferry Lake. It's also a strong fit for boating and fishing enthusiasts, given the on-site boat/trailer parking and nearby marinas and boat ramps. Travelers wanting a quiet, home-like retreat rather than a full-service hotel will appreciate the private yard, covered porch, and outdoor grill.
Travel tips
Bring your own charcoal if you plan to use the outdoor grill, as it is not provided. Since the property requires stairs for access and is a single-story home, pack accordingly if mobility is a concern, and note that the lake itself is not visible from the property but is an easy walk or short drive away via Lacey's Narrows Marina. A vehicle is recommended for reaching restaurants, golf courses, and marinas, most of which are several miles away.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the home's cleanliness, quiet setting, and generous furnishings, often noting it exceeded their expectations for comfort and value relative to price. Several reviewers highlight how much nicer the interior feels in person compared to photos, describing the stay as an enjoyable escape. A recurring minor drawback mentioned was a refrigerator leak that required guests to shut off the water connection to protect the flooring, and one reviewer noted the lake is not directly visible from the property, though it remains easily accessible nearby.
