Blue Heron Bungalow at Lake Tillery Create memories year after year at this quaint bungalow with deep water & a dock! Floaties & kayaks provided, nature preserve in the cove, fire pit, WFH setup & the best sunsets!This property is unique as it’s in Jacob’s Creek cove on LKT where boat and jet ski traffic is little to none. The cove also has a nature preserve where you’ll see wood ducks fly in, blue herons raise their chicks each year, ospreys hunt in the evening and you can kayak to see beavers!The Blue Heron Bungalow is named for just one of the many birds who occupy our cove. The blue herons have a nest in the tree across the way and raise their chicks every year. You can catch our blue heron friends “fishing” off the dock roof most mornings if you’re up early enough! We love to watch them and appreciate their presence as they eat/deter snakes (we haven’t seen a snake the whole time we’ve had the property and we give credit to our feathered friends/namesake).The home has 3 bedrooms (2 kings & 1 queen), one pullout couch, 2 full bathrooms and has an outdoor shower on the side! The home is setup/focused on letting as much light in and enjoying the amazing views. Each room has its own tv (fire stick) and there are cards and board games around the house for you to enjoy. Kayaks and floaties provided for enjoying the lake. Bluetooth speakers are all set for listening to music on the deck. The dock is covered and uncovered for however much sun you want to soak in! We have a hammock and manual jet ski lift you can use. With advanced notice we can set up the front yard for pups. There is no fence! All motorized vessels should be mentioned prior to booking.Before your arrival, your unique lock code will be texted to you. Park in the driveway please! Check in and out via the app.Lake Tillery (1hr from CLT & 2hrs from RDU)You will enjoy your own drive way and parking area. Practically next door to other bnbs if you’re hopeful to host more!Enjoy the dock with water 10ft deep (no diving) in one of Lake Tillery’s favorite coves known for being private and across from a conservation area.No HOA so you can come and go as you please. For the safety of you and your vehicle, and to maintain house rules, exterior security cameras are in use. Mostly they are used for watching birds, but they are there just in case. They will be able to detect how many people you bring with you. 8 MAX.The bungalow is 10 minutes to Albemarle center with grocery and dining options (you can even DoorDash!) while also being a 5 minute drive to hiking/outdoors.
