Cottage in Henderson

Built in 1958, updated in 2019, Cypress Cove Cottage on Kerr Lake is a place to relax, have a refreshing swim, and view stunning sunsets. Originally a summer home, called Sunnyside, the cottage was winterized for a year-round retreat. Bald cypress trees bookend the lakeshore of this unique property. The cottage is on a grassy lot sloping gently to the lake. There is a small dock to fish, swim and watch sunsets. Great spot for lake lifers, fisherfolk, couples, small families, business travelers. The space The cottage is in a private and quiet neighborhood just 20 minutes from I-85. There is one marina and another boat ramp across the channel. This funky waterfront home has views of the lake from the screened in porch, living room, and upstairs bedroom. The grassy walk from the cottage to the dock is about 100 yards. Guest access There are two bedrooms in the cottage. Each has a queen size bed. The largest bedroom, with half bath, is up one flight of stairs to a loft. The second and smaller bedroom has a door and access to a full bath. The full bath is small with a telephone booth shower, yet functional. The living room is comfortable with a kitchen table at one end. The galley kitchen is cozy and renovated with granite countertops and new appliances. The cottage sleeps 4 at the most. From the living room, there is a door to a screened in porch. On the step down to the porch note the names on the step: Sissi and Bee. They built the summer cottage and enjoyed many hours playing scrabble with family and friends. Guests will find a scrabble game in homage to the original owners. On the porch are chairs to sit and relax and a table to eat a meal outside. Although we welcome children, please know the stairs, kitchen cabinets, and outlets are not child proof. Other things to note Just a few yards further down the road is access to a nature trail on the Wildlife Management Area. The trail is about 1.25 miles long on a wooded peninsula with views of the lake. It is well-maintained and many neighbors walk the trail regularly.
