Life is better at the lake!!!

Our Hyco Home is located in the most convenient part of Hyco Lake. The house is right across the water from the Hyco Lake Marina and the camp-ground.

In June 2021 we remodeled almost every aspect of the home starting with the kitchens and bathrooms and down to the door hinges and outlet covers. Every design decision was based on what would provide our guests the best possible experience. We brightened up the home with new lighting, painting, and opened up the home anyway we could. The home was designed by remote workers to be for remote work. Along with high-speed internet (only a few homes on the lake have this fast of the internet), 3 bedrooms have private desks and there is plenty of room in the common areas to work.

We brought in high-quality furniture that is both comfortable and stylish. Most of the beds are gel memory foam.

We upgraded to the best possible internet (speeds up to 1000 Mbit/sec).

We will continue to upgrade the home over time as well!

Feel free to also check out our sister properties "Acorn Landing", "Large-Hyco-Home" and "Hidden Haven". While this home is newly listed and does not have many reviews you can check out any of these other listings or my profile to get an idea of the level of effort we put into each property.

The home is very spacious with 6 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms.

**NOTE: There is no refund if the jacuzzi is not working. We will try our best to make sure it is working and in good condition at all times but are NOT responsible for a refund if it isn't working or is offline for repairs or maintenance.

There is plenty of room to sleep comfortably. Hyco Haven has two floors that both have large living rooms and patios.

The top floor has two king master bedrooms. The main master has an attached private bathroom with a double vanity, shower, and jacuzzi tub. There is a desk in the master, a 42" tv, and a large walk-in closet.

The second master that we call the "auxiliary master" has a king bed, a reading nook, and an attached bathroom that has a shower tub.

The main area has a remodeled kitchen and island with 4 bar stools. The 6 person dining room table is right off the island The main floor is attached to the garage. For the time being, guests are not permitted to use the garage.

Each upstairs bedroom and the main area have both sheer and black-out curtains.

Both master bedrooms, as well as the living space, have easy sliding door access to the spacious back deck. The back deck has a covered patio with a large 10 person picnic table. Right off the back deck is the grilling patio with a grill and another table with seating.

The downstairs area is a fully-equipped entertainment zone with a pool table, a spacious TV area with a sectional couch, and a large 55-inch TV. For added convenience, a bathroom is located just steps away.

Four bedrooms surround the downstairs living area.

Three of the bedrooms have queen beds. Two of them have a desk. Two of them also have sliding doors that walk out to the basement patio and have sheer as well as black-out curtains.

The fourth bedroom has a bunk-bed with a full-on the bottom and twin bed on the top.

There are also two chairs that can be pulled out and turned into queen beds.

Upstairs:
Master Bedroom 1: King bed

The dock area has a newly renovated bar area with four bar stools and a tv. We provide 2 paddle-boards with paddles in addition to two kayaks. We provide assorted life jackets but do not guarantee we have perfect sizes for every single group of guests.

The home is a straight-shot from both Roxboro (15-20) minutes away) and Danville (about 20-25 mins). Both of which have several restaurant and grocery store options. Hyco Lake is close to the triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill). Also close to the NEW Caesars Virginia Casino in Danville.

The road leading to the house is completely paved (this is a rarity on Hyco).

The mural is gone due to a recent storm. The dock is completely repaired.

Guest access
We have been working to remodel the home and using the garage as our work-shop. Do not enter the garage. There is plenty of space to park in the driveway.

The neighborhood has very nice homes and is peaceful. The road is very well paved. However, it is a windy road. Please drive very slowly and carefully on the way into the neighborhood.

Born in the 90s
Where I went to school: University of North Carolina
I've loved the lake life since I was little spending my summers with family on Lake Michigan, Lake Mahopac in New York, and in Minnesota. I am fortunate to manage lake-houses on behalf of incredible homeowners Bear and Hyco Lake in my home state and Lake Osborne in Florida. When I was younger and my family moved to North Carolina, we knew we had to keep the lake tradition alive and were lucky to stumble upon Hyco Lake, a little-known hidden gem on the NC / VA border. I love Hyco and everything about it. People are friendly, the water is calm, and the lake has a rural charm while being within an hour from the research triangle and Chapel Hill (where I grew up). Through a friend, I got in touch with Keith and Marnie who are the homeowners and my co-hosts for Bear Lake Heaven. They are Chicago natives who have spent time in Western NC for 30 years. They have crafted a slice of paradise and have enjoyed the resort-like property for years with friends and family. Bear Lake is geographically one of the most breath-taking places in the world. At Hyco, I'm renting out my family's beloved childhood lake house so guests can enjoy it while I’m up north (moved to NY after graduating from UNC, GO HEELS!) and my parents are empty nesters. Also, helping my friends the Reeds rent out their beloved home so guests can enjoy when they aren't living the lake life themselves! Recently partnered with a childhood friend to create a Wrightsville experience at his families' beach house and another in downtown Wilmington. Also have joined forces with my older brother to create a Colorado Springs experience. Aim to provide new and unique experiences to share with guests.
