The band TLC says in their famous song “Don’t go chasing waterfalls.” But as lake lovers, we simply can’t help seeking out these natural wonders. One of the best parts about living near nature is discovering breathtaking sights. However, traveling to Niagara Falls in New York is unnecessary to witness incredible falling waters. No matter what region of the country you live in, there’s an impressive waterfall on a lake near you. Check out the best waterfalls near lakes with listings on Lake Homes Realty!
Located on the Cumberland River, which flows into Lake Cumberland, these falls are one of the top destinations for hikers in the south. It’s no wonder why, as Cumberland Falls is the largest waterfall in the state of Kentucky. On its 125-foot curtain, water tumbles 68 feet into the river. Its impressive size helped it earn the title “Niagara of the South.” But that’s not the only special quality of these falls. The Cumberland Falls are famous for producing lunar rainbows or “moonbows.” In this rare phenomenon, a rainbow is formed by the sun’s light reflecting off the moon’s surface. The moonbow at Cumberland Falls is one of two predictable moonbows in the world.
Near Lake Superior in Michigan, Tahquamenon Falls is the second most voluminous waterfall in the eastern U.S., behind only Niagara Falls. Every second, 50,000 gallons of water plunge 50 feet into the river. However, despite its size and power, the falls’ most noticeable quality might actually be its color. Since the river drains from cedar swamps, the tannis gives off a brown hue, hence the fall’s nickname, “Root Beer Falls.” As one of the country’s best waterfalls, it certainly deserves a visit. Further, this waterfall isn’t frozen in the winter, so you can enjoy it year-round!
You don’t want to be caught standing on the edge of Whitewater Falls. It towers more than 400 feet, making it the tallest waterfall east of Mississippi. The incredible view is even better in autumn when changing leaves outline the cascading falls. Located on the Whitewater River which flows into Lake Jocassee, South Carolina, this waterfall is surrounded by plenty of mountains and hiking trails such as the Foothills Trail to explore.
Many people vacation in Pennsylvania’s Poconos Mountains for the skiing, hiking, and scenic views. These mountains are also home to one of the country’s best waterfalls, Bushkill Falls. This series of eight total waterfalls is secluded in the forest, accessible by hiking trails and bridges. While you’re there, take a trip to the nearby Delaware River, home of George Washington’s iconic Revolutionary War crossing.
In addition to being the subject of a well-known Alan Jackson song, the Chattahoochee River in Georgia is also home to this impressive waterfall. Wedged in the middle of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, Anna Ruby Falls is surrounded by several hiking trails so you can enjoy a full day of nature on your way to the falls. One trail, Lion’s Eye Trail, has signs marked in braille for those with visual impairments. If you’re looking for a lake home near Chattahoochee, check out Lake Lanier and West Point Lake. From there, you can easily make day trips to this gorgeous forest.
Which of the best waterfalls on our lakes are you most likely to visit?
Are you selling your lake home anytime soon? If so, you may be thinking about the different costs that could go into it. One specific thing is different compensations for agents. More specifically, buyer agent compensation. Should you just offer it? Glenn Phillips, CEO of Lake Homes Realty, offers insight into this topic.
It Depends: Buyer agent compensation isn’t something that is required. At the end of the day, it comes down to whether you feel like you should offer it. However, you have to think about it because there are situations where you might want to, and in some cases, you might not.
What Is Your Goal In Selling? You want to get the most money you can, but there should be more thought put into that. Something you really should strive for is getting the maximum number of buyers who are capable of paying for the price you’re looking for.
3 Groups of Buyers: A) Can Pay Their Agent – These are typically the buyers who will be paying cash for the house. Many of these buyers are comfortable paying for services and have usually signed the Buyer’s Agent Agreement. B) Can Not (or Will Not) Pay Their Agent – This group usually doesn’t have the means to pay that compensation. They often expect the seller to compensate in some form or fashion. C) Can and Will Pay a Portion – They might pay a little bit or they might end up paying a lot. This group will typically be seen doing the most negotiating.
Suggested Goal: Best Net $: The end goal should be what will ultimately net you the best return on your investment (your lake home). Something that can play into this is pricing accordingly. Expanding your pool of buyers might also be a factor.
If you’re planning on selling your property soon and need assistance, don’t hesitate. Reach out to one of our lake expert agents at LakeHomes.com. They are always willing to help and can answer any questions you still might have!
You’ve decided to finally buy that lake home you’ve always wanted. The only issue is that you don’t know how to go about it. How do you navigate this market? What goes into buying a lake home? Well, now there is no need to stress over these issues. Lake Homes Realty’s CEO, Glenn Phillips, goes over how you can buy a lake home like a pro!
Investor or “I Want What I Want”: What is your mindset going into the buying process? If you’re thinking like an investor, you’re more likely to think of things like ROI. Thinking as an investor or in the sense of making money will bring in different values during buying. On the other end, you might have an idea of exactly what you want. These 2 different spectrums are ways that you can approach this financial aspect of buying.
Know Your “Number”: Before going into anything, you should know what you’re willing to spend. Being comfortable knowing what number you’re wanting to spend will help alleviate future issues. People who buy off emotion or do not give a lot of thought can lead to feelings of regret.
Use a Lake Expert Agent: Having an agent who knows the market, the area, the lake, etc. is more valuable than you know. These agents know the nuances of the lake homes in their area. If you don’t already have a lake expert agent, check out someone from LakeHomes.com. They are some of the best out there and would love to help!
Do the Due Diligence: Things such as getting surveys and home inspections—all these things you might think you can pass on, you can’t. Not doing your due diligence can lead to mistakes, issues, and a plethora of other unwanted things.
Keep Options Open: You’re allowed things you won’t budge on. However, you need to keep the options open because something could come up.
Buying a lake home like a pro doesn’t need to be a stressful or difficult task. The biggest thing to remember is these 5 points. If you follow these, it will make your experience play out a lot smoother. Don’t forget to check out the list of agents at LakeHomes.com/agents who are ready to help you!
The lake real estate market is an interesting one. Unlike your typical market for real estate, this market is more niche. You also might be wondering if it is a market for sellers or buyers. Questions like these are very typical when it comes to this market specifically. Luckily, Lake Homes Realty’s CEO, Glenn Phillips, has the answer to this question.
Seller’s Market: Command Higher Prices – Typically, a seller’s market means that the seller can command this higher price. When this occurs, there is usually limited inventory and a high volume of buyers. With this type of market, the seller has more of an advantage.
Buyer’s Market: More Options – Opposite of the seller’s market, the buyer’s market has fewer people looking. During this time, a lot of sellers are wanting to appeal to the buyer. When this type of market happens, the buyer has the ability to offer a lower price with more options.
Pricing: Supply and Demand – The main factor in determining which market we’re in comes down to supply and demand. Is there a higher number of houses with fewer buyers, or less inventory and more buyers? In more recent years, there has been a decline in inventory. This was around the Covid-19 years, which created a seller’s market. Things have begun to change due to less demand. That’s not to say it isn’t still there; it’s just not like the frenzy that it once was.
Increase in Inventory (Sort of) – In the past couple of months, there has been an increase in lake real estate and primary residential real estate.
“Phantom” Inventory – There are still sellers today who think we’re in a strong seller’s market. This has caused them to overprice their homes, leading to the homes sitting on the market.
“Stalemate” Market – We’re not technically in one market or the other, more so this “stalemate” market. This ultimately means there’s an equilibrium between supply and demand.
It all boils down to: which market are we still in? Truth be told, neither. We’re in an area where the sellers can have a little bit of an advantage if they price their homes appropriately. If you’re still curious about the market or have other real estate questions, head over to LakeHomes.com. You’re bound to find an agent in your area who is happy to help out.
Snuggled against a steep mountainside fronting Texas’s shimmering Lake Austin, this sprawling residence floats weightlessly on the water. Capturing stunning views from every vantage point, the entire footprint of this lakefront property totals more than 8,200 square feet and includes three adjacent casitas connected by floating walkways and a 6,000-square-foot main house. Acclaimed architect James LaRue, AIA, principal and founder of LaRue Architects, designed the home to frame these incredible views. His unique vision for the project has already garnered a LUXE Red Award in 2023 for exterior architecture. The location and topography dictated the home’s design plan, using large sheets of glass for optimal views. Project architect Patrick Mobley, AIA, of LaRue Architects, who worked alongside James LaRue, recalls the client stating after moving in that she didn’t even know these stunning views were possible.
“This legacy family residence, located in a desirable neighborhood overlooking Lake Austin, has quite the story to tell,” says LaRue. “Spanning two lots, the home stretches parallel to the water, opening towards the west sunset. The homeowners were quite familiar with the property, having had the opportunity to live in the previous home at the same site for over two decades. While the original home was traditional, built in a more iconic two-story gabled house form, the new contemporary home takes advantage of the site’s conditions and views. This property is first and foremost about soaking in the lake lifestyle.”
The structure’s butterfly roof mimics the movement of the water encircling the property. A series of water features create a feeling of calmness amidst the design, and the site plan weaves around the property’s mature red oaks—hence its endearing name, Red Oak.
Interior Enchantment
LaRue envisioned and designed this home as a floating jewel box, and Laura Britt, principal founder of the esteemed Austin design firm Britt Design Group, collaborated with a bespoke collection of vintage pieces, new contemporary furnishings, light installations, and Art Deco antiques—all amidst a jewel-tone color palette. Britt, who Architectural Digest recently named as one of the 23 best Austin interior designers on their AD PRO Directory, commissioned organic artworks that mimic the movement and reflective nature of the water surrounding the entire home. Her interior elements incorporate saturated blues and greens, mirroring the natural tones of the lake and surrounding landscape.
“Austin is home base for the owners, and they love lake life,” says Britt. “There are three casitas on this property for family and friends, providing a resort-like home away from home setting. They have a large family, so having green space for playing with grandchildren and a water feature for relaxing and hosting gatherings were two must-haves in this design.”
Hand-troweled stucco ceilings and shou sugi ban wood-clad accent walls imbue the outdoor spaces with a tactile rustic charm. These elements infuse the atmosphere with a welcoming warmth that invites relaxation.
Floating Foot Paths
During the site planning design phase, the homeowners requested that the property feel like a resort. In response, LaRue designed waterways around the numerous buildings to extend the lake vibe to the property, allowing floating stone walkways to connect the spaces. “Most of the time, the owners enjoy the hum of Lake Austin’s vibrant lake life,” says the architect, “but when needed, the sound of the surrounding water features subdues some of the lake noise.”
Three multigenerational casitas interconnect to the main house via water, pathways, and serene landscaping. The private casitas have their own covered areas and viewing platforms among the water, and the separation of all the structures allows lake breezes to pass through.
“The homeowners have adult children who live out of state,” notes LaRue, “so when they visit family, they can enjoy privacy in one of the three guest casitas. Placed throughout the site, two of the three connect via an adjoining roof structure, ensuring worry-free access in all weather conditions.”
Waterfront Grandeur
Illuminated by a custom handblown glass chandelier, the homeowners’ heirloom baby grand piano infuses the entrance foyer with graceful organic forms. A Tai Ping custom rug swirling in watery hues captures the reflective qualities of sunlight dancing on the water. Antique Moorish mother-of-pearl armchairs and a Venetian mirrored console table complement this showstopping vignette.
Fluid Spaces
“The interior palette echoes the natural tones of the lake and foliage, capturing those deep saturated blues and greens,” says Britt. “Thoughtfully chosen finishes, patterns, and colors for each piece mirror the fluidity and reflective qualities of the surrounding water and showcase the owners’ appreciation for both contemporary and Art Deco design elements.”
The home’s extraordinary custom glass lighting, all commissioned by Britt, includes a dining room fixture comprised of 400 handblown glass discs. Suspended in serpentine form, they mimic the reflective movement of water. Below, three nested dining tables made of burled wood with curved beveled edges generate a moveable, multifunctional design. The adjacent living area reiterates the vibrant, jewel-tone color scheme.
Island Oasis
Merging seamlessly with the lake, the kitchen forms a veritable island oasis. Its clean, ethereal aesthetic captures the lake lifestyle with all the tranquil hues of the water, sky, and landscape.
“Lake Austin is a boater’s paradise,” adds LaRue. “Boaters are up and down the lake all day, enjoying the architecture as much as the homeowners enjoy watching the boats cruise by. Located on the canal fronting the home, the owners’ boat dock allows easy access when they want to get out on the water.”
Natural Curve
The home’s architecture responds to the organic natural bend of the lake with large panes of curved glass imported from Italy, providing soft, endless views and connectivity to the outdoors.
Hidden Gem
Deep jewel tones prevail in the primary bedroom, lending a rich vibrance that grounds the sun-filled spaces. “Our mission was to create a living piece of art,” says Britt, “a floating jewel box on the lake featuring an eclectic mix of contemporary furnishings and Art Deco antiques.”
Shower Sanctuary
The primary bath features a custom vanity and shower clad in polished Panda White marble, Matrix 3D leathered granite, and a Nero Marquina marble mosaic tile floor.
Soak In the View
Water views appear everywhere throughout the home, even in the primary bathroom, where a lavish soaking tub sits in the sweet spot with a framed view of Lake Austin.
Water’s Edge
The pool sits on the west side between the main home and Lake Austin. With its infinity edge spilling over, water appears to flow seamlessly from the pool into the lake. Timeless David Sutherland lounge chairs with soothing dark blue cushions complement the lake-inspired design aesthetic.
“The homeowners love hosting large parties—most recently, their daughter’s wedding,” says Britt. “Nestled within a serene backdrop, the patio design, outdoor kitchen, and dining space accommodate their large family while also providing a versatile area for entertainment.”
Oculus Oasis
Strategically placed to the side of the home, the outdoor living terrace helps block some of the west sun yet also streamlines the view. A plunge pool serves as a visual separator, subtly delineating the outdoor spaces while providing uninterrupted vistas of the surrounding natural beauty. Positioned at the point closest to the water, the terrace affords views both north and south of the lake. An oculus punched into the roof frames the beautiful blue sky, reiterating the curved architectural elements found throughout.
“The summer months are quite intense,” notes LaRue, “and while the pool and lake face west, the covered terrace comes equipped with an outdoor kitchen and plunge pool, making it a desirable place to escape the heat.” If the sun is unbearable, the homeowners can move to the east side of the property to catch stunning mountain views. A terrace firepit creates warmth in the cooler winter months, and concealed roll-down screens capture the heat.
Golden Hour
“The most magical time of the day is at sunset,” notes LaRue. “Captured differently throughout the seasons, it always sets just above the water, casting an ethereal warm glow.”
Pool Paradise
The homeowners’ primary suite forms a private island oasis adjacent to the main house. Tranquil waterways surround the sanctuary, generating a soothing, meditative vibe.
Mountain Majesty
The eastside view emits a magical morning glow, with the colors and movement constantly changing, whether on the water or the property’s famed statement bluff, Mount Bonnell. “This home is all about lifestyle—wake up, have coffee outside,” says LaRue. “The site’s large red oak trees set the original parameters for placement of all the structures, integrating them into the overall design and defining a sense of place.”

When dealing with buying a lake home, you might hear the term “escalation clause”. If you’re familiar with this term, you might be wondering if it is a good or bad thing. Even if it is something you’ve never heard of before, finding out what it means can benefit you in the future. Lake Homes Realty’s CEO, Glenn Phillips, discusses what this is and whether an escalation clause is something good or something bad.
Escalation Clause: Automatic Price Increase Formula: This was something that was very popular during Covid-19 and, in particular, frenzy buying. Basically, people were wanting to make an offer and that be it. They were not willing to go through the hoops of making a second offer. Simplified more, you would make your offer and if someone came in with a higher one, you’d understand yours would jump up some amount.
Keeps Offer Amount Competitive: Due to these different escalation clauses for properties, it was more of a competitive area. Instead of the one amount being out there, it was almost a stair-stepping increase between offers.
Less Popular: Since Covid-19, these clauses aren’t as popular. One reason in particular is that it is becoming too much for the sellers and their agents to manage. Sellers got to a point where they wanted people to make their best offer. Now, sellers will ask buyers to “give us your highest and best offer”.
More to Offer Than Money: Oftentimes, escalation clauses can overshadow some of the other things that could potentially be offered. Things such as an additional property (a boat, furniture, etc.) or a different contribution of closing costs, etc.
Varies By Local Market: These clauses all vary depending on the market. Utilizing a lake agent, like one at LakeHomes.com, would be beneficial. The agents understand their markets and the things that go into them, such as inflation rates.
Before going into the buying process and expecting things to flow a certain direction, reach out to a lake expert for more help. They are always willing to give advice and information when needed.

Most people have probably heard of the TV show Shark Tank. However, you might not realize that selling lake property is more similar to that show than you know. When you think about it, the people who go on the show are entrepreneurs. This can almost be said for somebody selling a lake home. You have a product, your home, that you’re trying to get the “sharks”, the buyers, to invest in. Glenn Phillips, CEO of Lake Homes Realty, discusses 5 points about what this might look like.
“Addressable Market” (Who is Your Customer?): You’re not selling to everyone when it comes to your lake home. You have a specific demographic that is realistically looking at your home. These are the people who are interested in making that investment/purchase of your home.
How Do You Market (Reach Your Customer)?: Here at LakeHomes.com, there is market reach to people in your area and those who are states away. Agents at Lake Homes Realty can present you with this data and show you that the customers you’re reaching are likely outside of your local area.
What is Your Value Proposition? What is the reason behind your home being at this price point? Oftentimes, consumers who visit Lake Homes Realty are searching around different lakes so pricing is an important factor to stay competitive.
What Makes You Different? You need to have something that differentiates you from other sellers. Going back to Shark Tank, all the products are different. You also need to think beyond your personal home values. Most buyers aren’t looking into how you personalized the property.
Is Different Desirable? You can have eccentric aspects to your property, but this can be a negative to consumers. Not all the things you like always have a positive value.
Overall, selling a lake home can have these similarities with the people who make their way onto Shark Tank. When it comes down to it, making sure you remember these 5 key tips can make or break it. Don’t hesitate to reach out to a lake agent at LakeHomes.com for more help!
