Freshly updated 2100 square foot cottage with breathtaking main channel views of Lake Norman. There are two covered deck spaces for dining, relaxing, and enjoying all the views that the lake has to offer. If you have a boat, bring your own and park it at the dock. If you need a rental, there are several places we recommend on the lake to rent one for the week. We also have outdoor seating on the dock to relax and unwind. The home comes with 2 kayaks, a canoe, a large floating mat, and several smaller floats for you to enjoy.
Below the deck, this home offers a small goldfish pond with a waterfall feature which adds the serene and relaxing sounds after an exciting day on the lake. We also offer a firepit area to close out the perfect day on Lake Norman.
There are two king bedrooms and one room with a bunk bed of twins and a single twin bed. We also have a queen sleeper sofa in the downstairs den. All of our bedrooms have memory foam mattresses and luxurious high-thread-count sheets for the ultimate good night's rest. Both of the king bedrooms come with attached bathrooms.
The home features two dens, one upstairs and one downstairs. Enjoy some Netflix on our 4 smart TVs, as well as high-speed internet throughout the house to log in to your Disney, Hulu, Prime, etc., and stream your favorite series or movies.
The upstairs family room/dining room has floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize the beauty of the outdoors. The galley kitchen is well stocked for the cook in the family to host a spectacular meal after a fun-filled day making memories on the water. There is outdoor seating upstairs on the deck as well as downstairs under the deck. This house has sunrise views from the deck and boasts the perfect place to have your coffee while enjoying the beauty of a new day beginning.
If you like to fish, bring your fishing rods because we catch lots of catfish and bass all around our dock. We even have rod holders on the dock for your enjoyment. We have card games as well as a host of board games for our guests to use.
In addition to our home's many amenities, we are also only a 5-minute drive to Lake Norman State Park. They have 36 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails, as well as a beach area with lifeguards. They offer pedal boat, paddleboard, kayak, and canoe rental as well.

I will admit Old Lake Charm does have a Million Dollar View! This was our second time staying here and again we will definitely be back. It has such a warm and cozy feeling and the amenities are great. Shana is an amazing host. You will not go wrong booking here.
Overall, the stay was good. There were some damaged fixtures and paneling in the downstairs bathroom area that appear to have been resulting from incomplete maintenance work. Recommend finishing prior to next rental.
Beautiful views, comfortable house, and had everything we needed for our family vacation. Wonderful game room too! Shana was welcoming and very attentive. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to return soon!
The lake view was beautiful! Beautiful neighborhood, saw lots of deer. Close to Lake Norman State Park and quick back roads to get to Troutman or Mooresville. The yard contained a fire pit and a peaceful pond with waterfall and fish. The boathouse dock has table and chairs in the sun for cooler fall days. There are 2 nice decks attached to the house. All of the beds are comfortable. Warm gas fireplace in the great room. Ample hot water. Spice cupboard stocked. Overall wonderful place to enjoy a fall weekend! Hope to come back!
This house has beautiful views of the lake! We were able to enjoy the view from the inside due to lovely windows that opened out onto a full deck with a seating area and a table for dining outside. There is a dock with a sitting area also. The house was lovely and perfect for us. It would be perfect for many ages as it has a large game room with a pool table, ping pong table as well as a video game. Our hostess was very responsive and kind. We hope to return again someday.
Excellent. Doors and locks need upgrading and would like to see a grab bar in the shower. Great location. House was just what needed. Shana was quick to answer all of our questions prior to checking in.
We loved the house and its many amenities! Between the lake and game room, we had no reason to leave. Shana was also great to work with.

Had a mini vacation for Easter at this lake house. Everything was clean and the property description was right on. Caught a lot of fish right off the dock. This place had a really nice game room too. If anyone is looking for a great place to stay on the lake, this one is for you.Ianyon

Absolutely beautiful view, incredibly quiet, comfortable and relaxing. The only thing I would do different, I would rent a boat for the week.

Thanks so much Gerald. I'm so glad to hear you had a relaxing stay. I agree with you. The quietness of our street is soothing to the soul. Anytime you can hear birds chirping and all the wildlife around you, that's a great area! You were the perfect guest and hope you will come back to visit us again in the future. Blessings!

OUR STORY
Hi There! Our names are Ed and Shana Brooks and we are the owners of Brookside Cottage. We have grown up on the lake and live one street over. Our parents have lived on this street (Butternut) for 40 years and we have always loved the tree lined streets and the quiet living of this area. When some friends shared with us that they were selling their home on Butternut, we jumped at the opportunity to purchase it. We knew it needed a lot of TLC, but we also knew that it was worth the work. We purchased it on April 28th of 2021 and literally started renovating that very day. We still have things on our wish list that we hope to accomplish in the future (like a game room), among many other projects. My husband likes to joke and say that I have too much vision!! :) We hope that you love this property as much as we do. Enjoy your vacation!
Blessings, Ed and Shana Brooks
