We had a wonderful week at the cottage! The cottage was very clean and well maintained. It had everything we could need for our stay. We enjoyed the private dock, kayaks, and the paddle board that were provided. The views from the dining room/glassed-in porch area were beautiful. We would love to stay at the cottage again and would recommend it to others!

Amazing, and we were able to rent a boat and obtaining access to the dock made it that much better. The property is set on a steep hill & stairs to traverse, which it is hard to tell from pictures. All in all, Great place to stay.

Everything about the property was so relaxing and cozy. Great use of spaces, lots of thoughtful extras, and had multiple areas (inside and out) for spending time together.
Even beautiful in the rain!
Gorgeous views!

Very nice cabin with lots of space and fully stocked kitchen. The location is fabulous with privacy and great view of a branch of Lake Norman. The hosts are ones you hope to have when renting a vacation stay - attentive and responsive, but not intrusive. We loved the kayaks and having s’mores at the fire pit. Hardly any bugs or mosquitoes this time of year.
