Why they chose this property
I chose this location because it’s close to the State Park and offers guests multiple opportunities to enjoy all that Lake Norman has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Top Water Perch is more than just a place to stay—it’s a peaceful retreat tucked away in one of Lake Norman’s quietest coves. What makes it truly special is the way it invites you to slow down, reconnect, and savor life by the water.
From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by the sound of birds, gentle lapping waves, and a sense of calm that’s hard to find in the everyday. The cottage has been lovingly curated to combine comfort with charm—modern updates balanced with nostalgic touches that remind you of summers past.
The private dock and included kayaks make lake access effortless, while the spacious back deck offers the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon sunbathing, or evening dinners under the stars. The fire pit becomes the heart of the property after sunset, where stories are shared and s’mores are made under a canopy of stars.
Located at the end of a private gravel road, there’s a feeling of seclusion without being too far from local amenities. Whether you’re here for fishing, paddling, or time with family and friends. Top Water Perch offers a place to truly rest and be refreshed.
