Pleasant Thanksgiving weekend with the family.
Nice spacious property. Clean, well equipped, and superlatively organized. Cottage rooms small and tight. One master bedroom with walk in shower for mobility challenged, like my 90 year old parents for whom I inquired about before booking, has a king bed far too high for them to use (it had a 2-step stool to access?). The second master, nice to have!, has a normal height bed but a shower tub. Normal mobility will have no issues. Includes nice additions like kayaks nd fishing rods to use. Dated aesthetic and furniture but all was pleasant and functional. Prompt communications back from the owner or property manager. More work and checkout instructions than more user-friendly Vrbo’s- just allow some extra time for tasks before the earlier than normal check-out of 10:00 AM. Big family or friend group to stay in one location, I can overall highly recommend.

We Loved the House!
Everything was clean and the beds and other furniture comfortable. Most of all, our beloved dogs were welcome, too. The house is in a quiet, peaceful area and the only way we could have enjoyed it more is if we had had the time to enjoy the outdoors more; we were there for a grandchild's wedding and had lots of things to do, and had only the day after the wedding to relax and enjoy the house itself. Highly recommend this rental for family gatherings!

Great property on Lake Norman
Very private cove on Lake Norman. The home is comfortable and big enough for our family of 17. Plenty of fun on the water and hanging around the property. We rented both the large home and the cottage. Would recommend for families looking for a quiet place to spend time together. Hosts are next door but not intrusive

Graduation Weekend
We have used this house before for a birthday weekend for my husband's mother. It was very nice returning and everyone already knew which rooms they liked and the house layout made it much better. The kids enjoyed the lake while kayaking and swimming. Another plus is less than 10 minutes to Lake Norman State Park which has hiking trails and a swim beach.

Wonderful location on Lake Norman. Lots of amenities provided that kept all 18 of us, from age 3 to 73, entertained and comfortable. Space for all, fishing, canoes, kayaks, life jackets, pots, and more. We already had our adult children ask that we consider renting it again. Thank you!

Wonderful location on the lake!
Beautiful, private location on a cove of Lake Norman; only trees across the cove. Good sized house, and we had everything we needed. A nice touch to provide TP, PT, dishwasher detergent, hand soap, coffee filters and even some spices. We were here during cold weather, but it would be a lot of fun in the summer months. The hosts were great and very responsive with communications. The guest house has only 3 bed rooms, not 4 as listed and they were very small. Overall the bathrooms needed extra cleaning, and there was quite a bit of decor, making it hard to utilize horizontal surfaces. But we had a great time, and would stay here again.

Great place!
My family likes to gather for New Years and we selected this location for ease of driving from PA and GA and because of the large number of bedrooms. It worked out very well, especially with the cottage. The cottage also has another kitchen which was great to have for refrigerator and oven space since we cooked there the whole time. The lake is beautiful! We may have to return for warmer weather.

Perfect Family Reunion Location
We had 12 people staying with ages 7-93 and we couldn’t have had a better accommodations. The house is well stocked with utensils, pan, dinnerware, towels, and cleaning products. The inside and outside were very comfortable and clean. They had water toys, outdoor seating and a dock to swim off on a quiet part of the lake. The hosts are so nice and were very quick to respond whenever I had a question. They couldn’t of been easier to work with and we were very pleased with the hosts and their lovely home. The location is quiet and peaceful, with plenty of parking. We would definitely return for another reunion.

Our family aged 67- 18 months thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. Well appointed with everything needed for a week at the lake. We especially appreciated the dock, the kayaks, paddleboat, water carpet and canoe that came with the property. What a great time!! House and cottage were very clean, and had everything that we needed to make the time very relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks!

Christmas at Lake Norman
The house was the perfect size for our party of 12.5! We needed at least 8 bedrooms and with the cottage this place was perfect. We had enough room to spread out and do our normal Christmas activities (watch football, play games and make gingerbread houses). A special treat for our little one was a completely decorated Christmas tree just right for Santa’s visit. Owners respond quickly to inquires. Recommend for family reunions!

This house is amazing!
What a beautiful place to hold a family and friends get together for my daughters 30th birthday. Everyone just walked in and said “Wow!” The house is huge with a beautiful lot, right on the lake. The guest house is also beautiful and well equipped. Everything you need is there. We all felt perfectly at home. The beds were all super comfortable. When you find a place like this to rent, don’t hesitate. The owner is super responsive. I cannot wait to come back next summer and enjoy all Lake Norman has to offer. Thank you once again for allowing us to stay at your beautiful lake house. Lots of memories were made here. Sincerely, Sherry Cole

great location on Lake Norman
9 bedrooms! But the cottage bedrooms are very small. Would be helpful to take out the wardrobes and just have luggage racks there. Main house has large bedrooms and is great! Clearing out the house's decorative items would leave room for better usage by renters. Wonderful view and located near the end of an inlet makes for wonderful water swimming/sports/play. Thoroughly enjoyed the cover lower deck during the day. Also used the canoe, kayak, paddleboat. Housed our famly reunion of 14 adults and 5 children. We rented a pontoon boat for 2 days at the marina just 8 minutes away. Get special instructions from owners on opeining the cottage lock before going as it is tricky.

Great place for family fun
This was in a great location. We get together with family once every year, have people coming from all over, and look for someplace that has lots of room and is close to water. This year we decided on Lake Norman, and this house was great for our group. There was lots to do at the house, we went swimming almost everyday, and just enjoyed the neighborhood. It's close enough to anything you might need, but out far enough to be private. Had a great time.

Fun Vacation House!
Exterior needs power washing. Screens need repair. Appliances need replacing. Need room in “pantry “ for food and not so many dishes. The interior is way too formal for a “lake house”. Plenty of rooms and beds. Loved the new gazebo with walkway to dock. The porches were great. Overall we all made the best of our vacation. Would use again with updated appliances.

Relaxing trip
Alicia and Jeff’s house is very comfy and in a great location. We were 10 adults and 7 kids, all family. We had room to spread out. Plenty of beds, which was great. We had the guest cottage as well. So all in all, a great place for a family gathering. We rented a pontoon boat from Lake Norman Marina (they were GREAT to work with!) and enjoyed the use of the 2 kayaks, pedal boat and canoe that came with the house. Only about 10 minutes to Harris Teeter and other stores on the highway not far away. So a great location. Even though it was very hot the week we were there, we were never uncomfortable between shade and a breeze and spending a lot of time swimming in the lake. Pictures are accurate - the house is “homey” not new or fancy. But comfortable. We enjoyed our vacation!
