Welcome to DockED at Tillery—a spacious 3,000+ sq. ft. waterfront retreat made for lake days, family time and the kind of weekends you wish were a little longer.
Bring your boat, grab a kayak, fish from the pier, swim off the dock or claim a chair and do absolutely nothing but enjoy the view. With the lake visible throughout the main living spaces and plenty of places to gather inside and out, DockED makes it easy to slow down and enjoy being together.
THE SPACE
The heart of DockED is the bright, open main level, where big windows keep the lake in view whether you're making breakfast, playing a game around the table or curled up on the couch.
The fully equipped kitchen opens to the living and dining areas and includes a large island with seating for 3. The dining table seats 10, so there's actually room to get everyone around the table. After dinner, settle into the spacious living room with plenty of seating, a large TV and stone fireplace.
Need to sneak in a little work between lake days? There's a dedicated workspace overlooking the water—and we've definitely had worse office views.
Upstairs, a second living area gives everyone more room to spread out, with comfortable seating, another TV, games and ping pong.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
DockED sleeps up to 12 guests:
Primary suite: King bed + queen sleeper sofa
Bedroom 2: Queen bed
Bedroom 3: Full bed
Bunkhouse: Full-over-full bunk bed
The primary suite is almost a getaway of its own, with tons of natural light, lake views and a separate sitting area. The home also has three full bathrooms—which matters when you're traveling with 12 people!
YOUR PRIVATE WATERFRONT
This is the reason we fell in love with DockED.
Head outside and down to your own private Lake Tillery waterfront. The covered dock isn't just somewhere to park the boat—it's one of our favorite places on the property. Grab a lounger, curl up in the hammock swing, fish off the pier or just sit for a while and watch the lake go by.
We've stocked DockED with some of our favorite lake-day essentials:
Private covered dock
Guest boat slip for your own boat
Kayaks
Floating lily pad
Life jackets
Fishing poles
Swim ladder
You can spend the morning paddling, the afternoon swimming and the evening relaxing dockside without ever getting in the car. That's our kind of vacation.
Please note: the waterfront is open lake water with no lifeguard, and the water is deep off the pier. Children and non-swimmers should be supervised and wear life jackets near the water.
OUTDOOR LIVING
You don't have to be in the lake to enjoy it.
Start the morning with coffee overlooking the water, spend the afternoon relaxing outside, fire up the grill for dinner and end the night around the lakeside firepit in the Adirondack chairs.
We wanted DockED to have more than one great place to hang out, so the outdoor spaces flow from the house to the patio, firepit, yard and dock. Everyone can spread out without feeling disconnected.
BRING YOUR BOAT
Have a boat? Bring it! Guests can use the designated boat slip during their stay, and boat/trailer parking is available at the top of the property.
GOOD TO KNOW
Maximum occupancy: 12 guests
Parking for up to 4 vehicles, plus boat/trailer parking at the top of the property
Wi-Fi, multiple TVs, washer and dryer, and a fully equipped kitchen
DockED is a multi-level lake property with stairs inside the home and steps down to the waterfront. It is not wheelchair accessible.
Whether your perfect lake day means an early-morning paddle, fishing from the pier, bringing the boat out for the day, watching the kids swim or gathering everyone around the fire after sunset, we hope DockED becomes the kind of place your family talks about long after you've packed up the car.
Come for the lake. Stay for the memories. Welcome to DockED.
About the Owner
DockED at Tillery is our family’s little piece of lake life. We’re a family of five who loves being together, traveling and spending time on the water. After creating BeachED, our beach getaway in Ocean Isle Beach, we knew we wanted a place where we could make the same kind of memories closer to home -- and DockED was born. We personally manage both of our vacation homes and put a lot of thought into the little things that make traveling with family easier and more fun. As parents of three kids, we know a great family vacation needs a little bit of everything; places to gather, things for the kids to do, comfortable spaces to spread out and, occasionally, a quiet corner for Mom and Dad! At DockED, that means everything from kayaks and fishing poles to games, ping pong, plenty of comfortable gathering spaces and quiet spots where you can sneak away with a cup of coffee and enjoy the lake. We genuinely want our guests to feel at home here. We hope you’ll make some amazing memories at DockED and leave already talking about when you can come back.
