Best described as a totally private second story single 'stand alone guest chalet ' of approx. 1200 sq.ft. With its own security system and PRIVATE ENTRANCE, it provides total privacy, quiet and solitude. Encompassing the ENTIRE SECOND FLOOR and professionally decorated in exquisite detail for even the most discriminating taste it is sure to be a memorable experience you'll want to tell all your friends about. It is perfect for a couple but by using the aero-bed and/or sofa it would still work well for a couple and a teenager or two.
From the oriental rugs to the double skylights in the great room, bedroom and bath, and everything in between, absolutely no detail is spared. The Great Room features not only two skylights but also a 42' satellite TV with premium movie channels and 68 music channels, DVD/VCR player, stereo, leather sofa, ottoman & chair, ceiling fan, neutral Williamsburg colors, two lake view window box seats and tasteful accessories and artwork throughout.
The bath and bedroom both also feature skylights, built-in bookshelves, a second satellite TV with movie and music channels, DVD/VCR player, tastefull accessories, walk-in closet, and stereo. French Doors in the bedroom open on to a spacious second floor private balcony which overlooks a THREE MILE PANORAMIC SUNSET LAKE VIEW.
The home has a year round lush green lawn courtesy of the underground sprinkler system while a canopy of trees provides shaded outdoor comfort without obstructing the spectacular panoramic lake view. Launch your own boat or Jet Skis at the nearby boat launch ramp or contact one of the many affordable local boat rental companies. After a day on the lake, tie up your boat and jet skis and take a swim or lounge around at the large floating deep water dock.
You can also combine relaxation and fun with the colorful free floats PROVIDED FOR GUEST USE ! Too comfy and mellowed out to swim? Then just relax with a cold one in the shaded hammock area. Don't feel like cooking? Just order from one of the local restaurants that deliver or cate

Lake Norman is a popular year round retreat. It is the largest man made lake in North Carolina with over 32,500 acres and over 520 miles of shoreline.

Five more minutes and you’re at NASCAR Race City central in Mooresville with most race shops, NASCAR Museum, Dale Earnhardt Enterprises and Museum, Lake Norman Regional Hospital and LOWE'S CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS.

Sports fans will love Carolina Panthers NFL football, and the many events, classic car shows and NASCAR races at LOWE'S MOTOR SPEEDWAY.
We're sure that this will be the vacation that will be remembered for a lifetime and hope that you will want to take advantage of our sincere wish for you to enjoy a return visit to this private hideaway.

The property was clean, the location was beautiful and oh so relaxing. The photos are a true depiction of where you will be staying. There was just the perfect amount of space. Brent provided everything that we needed and even asked if we had any recommendations of ways he could make things better. We have recommended the property to many of our friends. The views are are gorgeous.Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

My wife and I stayed here recently for our honeymoon. This is a beautiful place to go. We even decided to stay another night once we got there. If you are looking for a nice place with a beautiful view where you can watch the sunset, this is where you need to be. Also a great drive thru safari nearby.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.

Thank you so much for a wonderful place to stay ! The information you gave us on Pantoon Rental as awesome. It is so peaceful and relaxing here. We had everything we needed, and then some. The people here are so friendly and helpful. The wine was excellent especially after a long ride. I spent most of my time on the balcony relaxing while my Hubby enjoyed feeding the large catfish. We would love to come back again in the fall to see the leaves change. THIS BEATS THE FLORIDA KEYS 100 TIMES OVER !Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway, age 55+.

What can I say about Kiser Island in February ! Two sweet hearts and two blankets lying in the hammock under the stars was the perfect Valentine's gift. Thank you for sharing a piece of paradise with us. The Valentine's cake was also a thoughtful surprise. This was truly the best Valentine's gift from my Soul-Mate. We will no doubt be coming back to Gilligan's Island Getaway. It is the perfect Peaceful, Quiet, Private, and Romantic place for any special occasion.Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+.

It is clear that the owner of the "Island Honeymoon Getaway" has taken great pains to make his retreat an exceptional value. After booking this property for the first time last January (for my husband's birthday) we decided to come back again this year (January 2011) as nothing else seemed like it could possibly match up for the price. The sunsets are really outstanding and the owner goes out of his way to accommodate any special requests. Two Thumbs Up!Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

All we can say is... Wow! We were already familiar with Lake Norman, but feel like we have found paradise! This cozy retreat is truly a bit of heaven. We hope to make this a regular destination. We needed some R&R and felt like we got it at Brent's Getaway. Can't thank you enough!Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

We enjoyed our stay here so much we plan on coming back. It felt like being at home with the exception of the beautiful area, sunsets, lake, and the house itself. There is so much to do in the area if you wanted or it was nice and peaceful to relax on the lake. I recommend you stay here after the great experience we had. We don't ever want to stay in another motel/hotel again after staying here for a week!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.

We had an absolute ball ! The condo was perfect and beautiful, but the backyard was breathtakingly beautiful. I haven't enjoyed many sunsets as wonderful as the ones we saw here. The trees, the perfect lawn and your good-natured acceptance of us all meant the world to us. Once I met you I totally relaxed. You made us all feel so welcomed. Thanks for a perfect weekend ! We will be back !Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

Kathy and I were married here in August 2008 and we have looked forward to returning to Kiser Island. The 4th was wonderful here - fireworks on the water and great food and good times at The Landing! It was so romantic and relaxing swimming off the dock and laying in the sun. We'll be looking forward now to our next visit!Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

We love staying at the condo in this house! This is a beautiful property with an amazing view...sunset over Lake Norman is breath taking! We are in the area Mondays thru Thursdays and have stayed for several weeks, we are as comfortable there, as in our own home. We travel alot and usually stay in hotels. We are so spoiled staying in the condo, it will be hard to ever go back to the impersonal stay in a hotel. The location is great, quiet and the people on the island are very kind. We look forward to our next visit and would recommend it to anyone! Judy & Jim, Jacksonville, FloridaRecommended for: Romantic getaway.
