The Ducks Nest @ White Lake NC. A Cozy, 5 Bedroom 3 Bath Cabin.

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our staff the best place we have stayed at White Lake. We have been coming for years. The house was so spacious five bedrooms was great never had that much room before. The best was three bathrooms no one having to wait to go. Tonya has everything you could need. Because of my past stay with others I over packed. She had towels linens. There was even a crock pot. Tonya has really thought of everything. This was my grand daughters first trip and she loved it she called it the lake house. Hope to come back soon."

10/10 Excellent
"I would highly recommend this house and host for a private, quite vacation with many activities available. Ms. Jackie has kayaks, paddleboards, peddle boat, bikes, pool table, cornhole, almost anything you can think of to do. The house is beautiful and can accommodate many with very comfortable beds - I slept on two (giving up the bottom floor for a two-night stay by my elderly aunt). Ms. Jackie was also very attentive to any concerns I had - specifically, my text about fire ants - she had an exterminator the very next day to rid of them (and it worked - never seen fire ants disappear that fast). This was a fantastic vacation and I will stay again! Thank you, Ms. Jackie!"
