Queens Pond Retreat

10% OFF FOR RETURN GUESTS- INQUIRE BEFORE YOU BOOK!

Tucked away near the Blue Ridge Mountains, yet only minutes from Lake James and Morganton, is a great family style retreat. Ask about our access to golf cart rental, it has to be reserved ahead of time since it is offsite. You are lodging in style but have the feel of practically camping! The home is updated with 4 bedrooms, and 2 baths and is located at the end of a private road. Surrounded by woods, there is only one other home in sight. The best part of this retreat is the two ponds, one for swimming which has concrete sides and a sandy bottom and is fed from a fresh spring, the other is for catch and release fishing and has bass, crappie, blue gill, and more. Above the swimming pond is an outdoor covered cooking area with sink, refrigerator, and electricity for large outdoor entertaining. If you want to enjoy nature while lodging in comfort, this is the perfect balance. You are only minutes away from local wineries, Lake James, Morganton downtown shopping, restaurants, craft breweries, Catawba River, parks and trails. You can also jump on I-40 and travel to nearby Asheville in only 50 minutes. We welcome corporate bookings also.
Owner disclosure to guests: The Swimming pond is seasonal from late Spring to early September. This rental is located within a larger family tract and the family does reserve the right to access the property and use both ponds. Renter does have full access to both ponds and picnic shelter but it may not be exclusive. Feel free to contact the property manager to inquire about use. The owner had indicated that July 4th and the first Sunday in August, there will be family members using the common area until 3pm. All booked guests are always welcome to also use the areas and join any activities. Feel free to contact the owner directly.

Family Reunion
My family loved this property! We were visiting family in the area and the location and size were perfect. The property is large and secluded, and with access to the two ponds it felt like we were staying at a private summer camp. Bring your fishing poles as the fishing pond is well stocked! I would also recommend bringing life vests for smaller children as the swimming pond is deep. The manager of the property was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay. When we arrived we found a freshly baked coconut cake in the refrigerator and it was fabulous! Even those of us who don’t generally like coconut loved it! We will definitely stay here again when we’re visiting family.

Very Nice and Private
We enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and very spacious. The best part of this property is the privacy. There is only one other house within direct line of sight but otherwise it is completely surrounded by woods. The house is also close to a lot of hiking trails and other attractions. Would definitely book this property again.

The photos were accurate and the property was beautiful. We enjoyed the fishing and swimming and the house was comfortable for everyone. Really close to the Highway but you can't hear the noise at all. It's definitely secluded which we liked but pretty close to downtown Morganton. Thank you for hosting us!

Beautiful house!
Not our first time staying here… property is centrally located between Boone, Banner Elk and Asheville. Home is super cozy, comfortable beds and everything you need to relax and enjoy a family vacation. Owners are super hospitable and nice! We’ve been coming to the mountains for new year’s for many years and this is one of favorite properties. Location is perfect to enjoy all the sky resorts and snow tubing and also drive to Lake James, Chimney Rock and Ashville. The kids love renting the golf cart and driving it up and down the road.

Love Love Love!!!
We loved our experience at this beautiful property! The extra attention to detail from the owners was amazing! Decor and supplies that aren’t standard were so much appreciated. The homemade coconut cake left by the owner was AMAZING! Could’ve eaten the whole thing by myself. 🤗 Property was great and we loved the fishing pond. It was frozen the first few days, but that was expected with the cold weather. Loved the secluded property, the fishing pond, the swimming pond, the swings, the river/creek, and the sweet little duck we made friends with and were so sad to leave, and the board games for family fun. We are looking forward to booking again in the spring or summer! Thank you again for everything! 💗💗💗

Wonderful retreat
This simple farmhouse supplied just what we needed - a quiet retreat with simple amenities. The swimming hole was a blast (a word to the wise- remove your Apple Watch before taking a high board jump!) and the proximity to Lake James was ideal. The kitchen is modestly appointed, depending on the type of cooking you’re planning, you may want to supplement. And the coconut cake we found in the fridge was amazing. I expect we’ll be back next Summer!

This place literally is maybe 1 mile off of I40. Love where it was located. The house was very clean, well represented in the pictures. The swimming pond was nice enough, a little murky on the bottom but bring swimming shoes and you will love it. It was very warm water. Best of all was the cake waiting for us in the fridge. Thank you for a great week

Beautiful Property
My family had a great trip at this house. We had plenty of room (us, 3 kids 9,9,14, & Grandmom). The beds were super comfy! We loved having the laundry room to enter through vs front door. It was nice taking shoes off and throwing towels etc in laundry before entering house. There was a little problem with the golf cart we rented. For some reason it wouldn’t charge BUT the owners made it right and we were able to use the rest of the trip. I do recommend renting the golf cart with the house. The walk up hill from the pool was a lot especially my mom. The neighbors dog loved riding the golf cart- he would come running when he heard it start. Biscuit was adorable and my kids loved having him around during our stay! Lastly the pool- we loved the pond/pool. It had a cool high dive! Ty for sharing your place with us!

Outstanding stay
Every year for the past 25 years we all come together for a week. Normally this is done at a family owned home in NY. That home was sold last year. This year we picked this hidden gem. And let me say that we have found our new vacation ground for years to come. Property is BEAUTIFUL. The pictures do not do it Justice. The owners are LOVELY and make themselves available to the renters. They also made us a delish coconut cake. The family feeling is second to none. No one needs more “stuff and things”, but we all need more memories. This is the place to make those lasting memories.

Excellent place to relax
One of a kind! We enjoyed both swimming and fishing pond so much! Caught huge blue gill and a few nice size bass. The boys loved the high diving board. The house was wonderful and a good size for our family. I definitely would advise to rent the golf cart. It was helpful for the trips to the ponds. We also drove around the farm exploring many paths. Found a spot over looking the area and watched beautiful sunsets. Oh yeah, there was a delicious coconut cake there on our arrival.

Fishing pond worth the stay
Overall we had a very relaxing experience, the boys absolutely loved the pond, although my 8 year old got into some poison oak and had ended up at the urgent care for a shot. We only got in the swimming pond once, water seemed a little stagnant to us. The house was very nice. We enjoyed the sectional with the recliners and watching movies on the Roku. Very peaceful setting. The coconut cake was absolutely the best part of the stay, delicious!
