We had a great time staying here for the Memorial Day weekend. The house was great, the beds were very comfortable, the kids loved jumping/swimming off the dock and we enjoyed using the kayaks. The area of the lake was very calm, what little boat traffic there were was very slow as it is in a no wake zone. Highly recommend this property!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for the kind words.
We really enjoyed our stay here, tons of space, large deck, and well appointed kitchen. Home was very clean and well equipped. Would definitely stay here again.
The property is great - very nicely kept interior. Would benefit from an exterior clean (lots of cobwebs in the window screens and on/around the deck and entry, and some overgrown bushes on the stairs) and new towels (they smell like rotten).
House was beautiful and right on an inlet of the lake! All the beds were memory foam and very comfortable. Very nice and would highly recommend this house!

Thank you for the review! We are so glad you enjoyed our property!
My family and I had a great time here! We enjoyed the fure pit, the dock, and friendly cove!
This house was perfect for multiple families with kids! The fence was reassuring to keep little ones from getting to the water unsupervised! Would love to visit again!

Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you enjoyed our property! We look forward to hosting you in the future.
We enjoyed our stay so much at your beautiful property . The owner accommodated an earlier check in for my family since we had a wedding to attend so we could get ready in the home and go . Everything was clean , property was beautiful and we had a terrific time . Thank you again
Stayed with our 3 adult children, their partners and our 3 month old grandbaby. Kitchen was well equipped and we were out most days but enjoyed nice brunches and some quiet times around the tv at night
Good location, (right on the lake, how much better could that be!) great house, right number of bedrooms and good set up. The 2nd bath is just outside the master so it can be easily shared with other BRs. We had a small issue during our stay that the manager took care of quickly. Highly recommend!
House was just as described. We have stayed six different places over the years this was our favorite. Plenty of room to park even with boat and double jet ski trailer. We were up quite cove with nice boat dock. Thanks

Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you enjoyed our property! We look forward to hosting you in the future.
The home was good for our family and great location. My only gripes are that the deck is in rough shape and a hazard, and they only provided us with 8 towels and no back up linens whatsoever. In the description it said towels were provided but “suggested” bringing beach towels but that towels were provided. It was a towel a person for an entire week lol. Also they said there was a baby gate provided and upon looking and not finding it we called and they brought one over but it did not fit the opening it was to small we didn’t call back.

Thank you for the feedback and we hope you come and stay with us again!
Great home for a family with teens!! 2nd time same house!
Had a wonderful trip with my boyfriend, another couple and four teen boys. We all had our own space and living area. The boat dock is beautiful and perfect for fishing, which the boys did each night. We rented a boat all weekend and parked it in the slip. Overall the whole weekend was a fun time and glad we rented this same house again for our annual Lake Norman Trip.
This property was better than expected. the house was clean and decorated for a lake stay. We had plenty of towels and blankets but not too much. The house was close to lots of food take out places and grocery stores and yet we felt very secluded. the neighborhood was great for walking and to see views of Lake Norman. We just wish we could have stayed longer.
