Great home to experience all Lake Norman has to offer! Comfortable, cozy and rustic lake home with fenced in yard (love the electric gate) for pets and children to play. Surrounded by trees that provide lots of privacy. Well stocked kitchen for cooking and grilling-in. Grocery store, gas and other shopping just a few miles away. Enjoyed our stay!

Had a great time. Wish we could have stayed longer. Wasn’t able to try the kayaks because the lake was low and we weren’t sure where to launch them from. Great in between spot for us as we wanted to go to Huntersville and Charlotte. I would stay here again.

We absolutely loved the cottage. It fit all our needs and was very clean and comfortable. It is located to a lot of stores and restaurants . The fenced in yard was very handy for our dogs. We could not access the lake due to the water in the cove being to low which was a disappointment because We were looking forward to fishing and kayaking . But the location was quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay .

Overall, this is one of the best Vrbo experiences we’ve had in a long time. The host was communicative and helpful, the property was incredibly clean and comfortable, and everything was exactly as expected and described we especially appreciated how pet-friendly it was. Surprise win was the quality of WiFi for working remotely. Wed stay again in a heartbeat.

We had a great stay at this home in Denver! We were there for 5 nights and really appreciated the spacious yard — it was perfect for relaxing outside and a great space for our dogs to run around. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. We’d definitely stay here again on our next trip to the area!

Great place to stay!!

The host messaged us quickly and when we got their checked in on us and when there wasn’t any trash bags he drove all the way to the rental and left us a huge roll of trash bags! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to go back!

The property was great for pet owners with the fenced in yard. The property was tastefully decorated. Very peaceful setting, never knew their were other homes next door. Only disappointment was there had been a drought so there was no water available for any water activities. No fault of the owner. Could use possibly a blender for making frozen drinks. But other than that the property had everything needed. And leaving the property is challenging with the electric gate, but I understand the owner is working on that. Overall a really nice place to stay. Very peaceful, just what you want on vacation. A place to relax. Host is always available for questions. Enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed Jake’s home! Had a fire, went kayaking and explored the State Park. Very quiet neighborhood but close enough to activities. Jake was very quick to respond and was very helpful. It was a very relaxing stay!

Beautiful Getaway

Away from the rush of the east side of the lake, this property was so amazing for me, my husband and dog to spend a few days! The yard is giant and fully-fenced which was great, and we caught a large mouth bass off the boathouse! Quiet and peaceful, we loved this spot! Plenty of trees and shade in the yard, and the house was charming and very clean.
