The house was beautifully situated on a lake. The deck has a magnificent view. The kitchen is equipped better than my own at home! The neighborhood was vwry peaceful with deer visiting every morning. It was the perfect place for a girlfriend long weekend.
This charming home is tucked away in the trees overlooking a lovely quiet lake. The rooms are spacious and the property well equipped. Parking three cars took some shuffling but didn’t diminish our desire to return for another family gathering.
We loved the house with all the amenities. It was raining while we were there so the gym was a hit with the guys. Also the grill was awesome for 7 big eaters! The kitchen equipment was excellent. I really like the ability to make tea quickly. I would definitely rent again.
House was great! Lots of room and we loved the lake! Mountains were beautiful! Booked thrpugh VRBO and the main gate didnt have our reservation for access to the community. It was easily fixed but if we would have arri ed late, we may not have gotten into the house.
Family vaca at Oak Lake House in Connestee Falls gated neighborhood near Brevard, NC. 8 adults for 4 nights. Wonderful experience. Best feature of this property is the back deck with its view of the lake and surrounding forest. The hiking trails inside Connestee are fantastic and varied. Highly recommend this property for its location, comfort, spaciousness, access to Lake Waneska and all that the Connestee Falls neighborhood has to offer.
We had a fantastic month, our family thoroughly enjoyed the deck, the dock and all of the amenities of the lake! Plus, the trails within Connestee worked really well for the entire family!
A newly remodeled home with a beautiful new deck and picture windows. Plenty of games and toys for the kids. The dock had paddle boards, a kayak and a canoe. we would definitely stay here again.
There is something for everyone at The Oak Lake House on Wanteska. The paddle boards, kayak and canoe were awesome to have there and the dock is large enough for a group. It is a quiet neighborhood with beautiful wildlife and the view is amazing from the deck. We will definitely be staying here again.

Little disappointed in lake view property at Connestee Falls
Cute house but very steep driveway. Clean inside but not clean outside. Chairs were very dirty on balconies and gutters were full of leaves. Inside of house looked newer in photos. Outdated inside. No tvs in bedrooms
We had a wonderful week on Lake Wanteska! The house was great and well appointed. The dock, canoe, and kayak were awesome and we spent a lot of time on the water. Would rent this house again!
Huge house, plenty of room. All the linens were provided even extra blankets. The game room was full of different games and we enjoyed the lake. The view was amazing!
The Oak Lake House on Wanteska was a perfect house for our family and friends. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of plates, glasses, silverware and small appliances. It was a nice perk to have beginning paper products provided as well as dish and laundry detergent and shampoo/body wash.
The house was extremely clean and the layout was great. The kids were able to have their own space downstairs while the adults were able to hang out on the main floor. They also loved the ping pong table out in the garage.
There are 94 steps to get down to the dock. The lake was SO clean and a great temperature! The kayak, paddleboards and canoe were great amenities to have. The kids also loved the lily pad sort of float too.
We enjoyed the hikes and waterfall in the neighborhood as well.
We would highly recommend this rental. The kids are already asking when we can go back!
