Mountain Lake Retreat on Whippoorwill Hollow Discover mountain serenity in this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath lake home where comfort meets natural beauty. Nestled along Whippoorwill Hollow on Mountain Rest Lake, this well-maintained home offers the rare opportunity to live on a private mountain lake with only about 40 homes along its peaceful shores. Fed by natural springs and mountain creeks, Mountain Rest Lake is known for its clean, clear waters—ideal for a refreshing summer swim or a relaxing paddle in your canoe or kayak. The home’s split-bedroom floor plan provides both comfort and privacy, while open living areas invite gatherings and entertaining. A free-standing fireplace creates a cozy focal point for cool mountain weather, adding warmth and charm to the living space. Step onto the screened porch overlooking the lake, or enjoy outdoor cooking and forest views from the cook’s deck that faces the National Forest, which adjoins the backyard for unmatched privacy and access to nature. Low-maintenance vinyl siding and a double attached garage add practicality to this scenic retreat. The community values its peaceful setting—boating is allowed, but jet skis are not—and short-term or vacation rentals are not permitted in Whippoorwill Hollow, preserving the quiet, neighborly atmosphere. Conveniently located just 25 minutes from Highlands, NC, 30 minutes from Cashiers, NC, and 20 minutes from Clayton, GA, with Clemson University’s Memorial Stadium less than an hour away, you’re close to dining, shopping, and adventure while enjoying the tranquility of the mountains. Whether as a year-round residence or a weekend getaway, this Mountain Rest Lake home offers the perfect blend of comfort, community, and natural beauty.
