Albemarle House | Blue Heron Bungalow at Lake Tillery

3 Bedroom House in Albemarle

Create memories year after year at this quaint bungalow with deep water & a dock! Floaties & kayaks provided, nature preserve in the cove, fire pit, WFH setup & the best sunsets!
This property is unique as it’s in Jacob’s Creek cove on LKT where boat and jet ski traffic is little to none. The cove also has a nature preserve where you’ll see wood ducks fly in, blue herons raise their chicks each year, ospreys hunt in the evening and you can kayak to see beavers!
The Blue Heron Bungalow is named for just one of the many birds who occupy our cove. The blue herons have a nest in the tree across the way and raise their chicks every year. You can catch our blue heron friends “fishing” off the dock roof most mornings if you’re up early enough! We love to watch them and appreciate their presence as they eat/deter snakes (we haven’t seen a snake the whole time we’ve had the property and we give credit to our feathered friends/namesake).
The home has 3 bedrooms (2 kings & 1 queen), one pullout couch, 2 full bathrooms and has an outdoor shower on the side! The home is setup/focused on letting as much light in and enjoying the amazing views. Each room has its own tv (fire stick) and there are cards and board games around the house for you to enjoy.
Kayaks and floaties provided for enjoying the lake. Bluetooth speakers are all set for listening to music on the deck. The dock is covered and uncovered for however much sun you want to soak in! We have a hammock and manual jet ski lift you can use.
All motorized vessels should be mentioned prior to booking.
Before your arrival, your unique lock code will be texted to you. Park in the driveway please! Check in and out via the app.
Lake Tillery (1hr from CLT & 2hrs from RDU)
You will enjoy your own drive way and parking area.
Practically next door to other bnbs if you’re hopeful to host more!
Enjoy the dock with water 10ft deep (no diving) in one of Lake Tillery’s favorite coves known for being private and across from a conservation area.
No HOA so you can come and go as you please. For the safety of you and your vehicle, and to maintain house rules, exterior security cameras are in use. Mostly they are used for watching birds, but they are there just in case. They will be able to detect how many people you bring with you. 8 MAX.
The bungalow is 10 minutes to Albemarle center with grocery and dining options (you can even DoorDash!) while also being a 5 minute drive to hiking/outdoors.
Neighborhood suitable for short walks but car preferred for anything beyond. No sidewalks. No public transportation. Bike routes nearby, but when we’ve asked friends who’ve biked Uwharrie and come to this area for the trails, they would not call the area "bike-friendly"
BUT The Uwharrie bike trails are amazing and only 5 miles away.
Maximum 8 people. Children over 10 are considered people.
Non-smoking
Please know neighbors (30 second walk) also rent on Airbnb if you’d like your own place but want to be close to family/friends who’d like to also rent!
$50 per pet, per stay.
Service animals welcome without charge.
Your pet is welcome in the yard and dock area, but leash laws must be followed in the neighborhood.
Per AirBnB policy Emotional support animals (ESA) must be controlled at all times, never left alone and be house- broken. If evidence of indoor fouling is found, you will lose your deposit, fees will be levied and you will be reported for fraud to hosting platforms for misusing ESA designation.

Summary: This spot was perfect for a last-minute mother-daughter getaway! We found it to be adequately stocked with necessities and exceptionally clean. It's located on a quiet cove not too far from the main road, so there is easy access to the main roads. The hosts' communication was top-notch, and we couldn't have had a better weekend. I can definitely see us returning!

Summary: We really enjoyed the house. A few things could have enhanced our stay. The kitchen could use attention. It was difficult to fix meals due to the lack of utensils, pots and pans and silverware. The bathrooms did not have shampoo or conditioner. Most rooms either had a step up or down so it was difficult to maneuver especially with mobility issues. The master bedroom could use blackout curtains. On the up side, the beds were exextremely comfortable.

Summary: We enjoyed being on the lake but didn't have enough time to enjoy it. There was a small fishing pole on a shelf in the house and spouse utilized. I sat by firepit and he went down to catch a fish. Low and behold, he got one and threw back.

Summary: Two couples and one son attending the Uwharrie Jeep Jamboree stayed for the long weekend. Wive's got to enjoy the lake and vicinity while we jeeped in the National Forest. Perfect home to stay for all to have a good time. Place was spotless, beds were comfy, all necessary items provided. Great communications with owner. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Summary: We had an amazing stay at the Blue Heron Bungalow. Perfect location. The cove is one of the best on Lake Tillery and you are far back enough to avoid boat traffic. Dock was great and able to fit the boat nicely. Will definitely stay again.
