The entire living space of the home and decks are for your exclusive use to enjoy as well as the property extending down to the lake.

On the property you will have available to your group (4) Kayaks, and (2) SUPs with their paddles. We have (5) Adult Life Vest on hand for guest use. If you intend to have children join you on the lake, we ask that you bring the suitably sized Life Vests for their use.

Many quest enjoy fishing Lake Adger including off the dock. You will need to bring your own gear and a NC Fishing License. Popular fish in the lake include Large Mouth Bass, White & Spotted Bass, & Crappie. Each October the lake is stocked with 8" to 18" juvenile Muskie.

Swimming off the Dock is a favorite as well. We have some swimming inflatable toys and a Lily Pad, however we recommend you bring your favorites. And you will need to bring your Child's life vest as well.

Kingfisher Lake House is in the Lake Adger Development made up of several communities planned to have minimal impact on the beautiful natural elements surrounding the lake. In the Development, you have access to the 500 acre lake, 14 miles of hiking (equestrian) trails, as well as safe, low traffic, roads for road biking.

Other things to note
Like many properties in Western North Carolina, especially around lakes, there tends to be steep grades. The paved driveway down to the home has a slope that may be steeper than you are accustomed to, however passenger cars, pick-up trucks, and minivans have no problem going up and down the drive-way rain or shine. Four vehicles (cars/pick-ups) can park easily in the parking area. Larger Box Trucks, RV’s or Trailers will not be allowed down the drive and they are not allowed to park on any of the development's roads. There is also a decent slope from the house down to the lake. It would be difficult to handle if you have a mobility challenge.

The home is connected to Spectrum High Speed Internet (Up to 600 MB Down). We are currently seeing speeds consistently above 450MB.

We have great neighbors that deserve to enjoy the peacefulness of Lake Adger. Quite hours start at 10:00 pm where we ask that guest be thoughtful about voice & music levels while outside. Absolutely no parties or events will be allowed at any time.

This property is marked as not suitable for kids because the house does not meet all the criteria listed in the “Safe Kids Worldwide Guidelines”. Outlets are not covered, laundry and chemical products are not necessarily out of reach, or secured, and dressers are not fully secured against tipping. But most importantly the home is 100 yards from the Lake which can be reached in a minute by a curious toddler. So while discouraged, we do allow children and have equipped the home with items to make it safer and more comfortable for little ones. We have dishes, utensils, a potty chair, pack-n-play, high chair and a range of age-appropriate toys.

The property is essentially a forest setting next to a lake making it an inviting home to number of creatures ranging from cute to annoying. This includes biting insects. Repellant is available in the home, but also keep an eye out for our stinging neighbors. Yellow jackets will sometimes take up residency in inappropriate places on the grounds, please give them a wide berth and let us know where you see them.

Absolutely no smoking or vaping (of any kind) is allowed inside the house.

Pets are not allowed anywhere on the property.

Only registered quest may stay on the property. No explosive fireworks on the property at any time.

Neighborhood highlights
