5BD Waterfront Lakehouse Retreat | Dock + Kayaks

Wake up to peaceful lake views, spend your afternoons on the water, and end each day watching the sunset from the deck. Welcome to Whitetail Cove, a beautifully designed waterfront retreat on Lake Cooley created for gathering, slowing down, and making lasting memories. Whether you're planning a family vacation, lake weekends with friends, a fishing trip, or simply looking to unplug and unwind, this thoughtfully designed home offers breathtaking views, inviting indoor and outdoor living spaces, and everything you need for an unforgettable Upstate getaway. The heart of the home is the spectacular great room, where soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and a wall of windows frame beautiful views of the lake. Comfortable seating invites everyone to gather together while enjoying Smart TVs with Roku (guests may log into their own streaming services) or simply taking in the scenery. Just beyond the living room, the expansive wraparound deck extends your living space outdoors with comfortable seating, outdoor dining, and peaceful lake views that seem to stretch for miles. You'll also find a collection of games and activities, tucked beneath the living room TV and hall credenza, making it easy to enjoy a cozy evening together after the sun goes down. The beautifully appointed kitchen was designed with entertaining in mind. Featuring a large center island, stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and everything needed to prepare meals at home, it's the perfect place to cook together while staying connected with family and friends. The adjacent dining area offers plenty of seating for shared meals, celebrations, or planning the day's adventures on the water. The home comfortably accommodates larger groups with five thoughtfully furnished bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms across two levels. The upstairs primary suite features a king bed, private access to the deck, Smart TV, and a spa-inspired ensuite with a freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, double vanity, and private water closet. Two additional queen bedrooms are located upstairs and share a beautiful hall bathroom, with one bedroom also offering a dedicated workspace tucked neatly into the closet. A convenient powder room is located on the main level for guests. Downstairs, you'll find a second spacious living area that gives everyone room to spread out after a day on the lake. Comfortable seating, a large Smart TV with Roku, and walkout access to the backyard make it the perfect space for movie nights, games, or simply relaxing together. This level also includes a fourth bedroom with a queen bed, a bunk room with two twin-over-twin bunk beds, a full bathroom, and a dedicated laundry room. Outside is where Whitetail Cove truly shines. Launch one of the four complimentary kayaks from the private dock, spend the afternoon swimming or floating with the provided lake inflatables, or challenge your group to a game of cornhole in the backyard. With 18 life jackets, 10 beach towels, and an assortment of lake gear ready for your adventure, everything you need for a day on the water is already here. As evening settles in, fire up the propane grill for dinner, then gather around the wood-burning fire pit or unwind on the expansive wraparound deck as the sun sets over the lake. We know pets are part of the family, so both cats and dogs are welcome! Simply add your pet when booking so the applicable pet fee is included in your reservation. If your plans change and you decide to bring a furry companion after booking, just let us know—we're happy to add the pet fee to your reservation before or during your stay. Whether you're spending the day paddling across Lake Cooley, gathering around the fire pit under the stars, or simply enjoying a quiet morning overlooking the water, Whitetail Cove offers the perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and unforgettable lakefront living.
