We absolutely loved staying here! Felt like home! The house itself is gorgeous and well maintained. The location on the lake is also a plus. My son had a great time kayaking. Also, close to all stores and entertainment such as the NASCAR Hall of Fame and Bank of America Stadium. My family and I would definitely stay here again if in the area. Highly recommend!

The house was perfect for our family vacation built around a nephew’s wedding in Charlotte. We loved the fire pit, home theater, and lake view. If it wouldn’t have been winter, we’d have given the kayaks a whirl. The property is peaceful, but it’s also close to a grocery store and the interstate. The host was great—she texted to welcome us and ask if we needed anything, so I felt comfortable asking her a question about firewood. We would definitely stay there again.

We just wanted to personally thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family this weekend. We have stayed in many places over the years traveling for fishing tournaments, but this has truly been one of the most special and memorable places we’ve ever stayed.From the moment we arrived, we felt at peace. The outside area is absolutely breathtaking — the pergola lights, fire pit, lake views, and especially the jasmine vines filling the air with the sweetest smell made it feel almost magical. Then walking inside and hearing K-Love playing honestly brought tears to my eyes because that’s exactly what our family listens to at home. Every detail — the cozy rustic atmosphere, the uplifting quotes, Bible verses, and the warm welcoming feeling throughout the house — made this place feel like so much more than just a rental.Our son was fishing in a state tournament. Having a peaceful, faith-filled place to come back to after long days on the water has truly been a blessing. It feels comforting, uplifting, and genuinely like a home away from home.Thank you for creating such a beautiful environment for families like ours. You can feel the love and care that has been poured into this place in every little detail. The only thing we don’t love is having to leave on Sunday! We will absolutely be thinking about staying here again for future tournaments near Mountain Island Lake.Thank you again

Excellent care and attention from the host. The property is well kept and they provide many extras to make the stay more enjoyable including some snacks and kayaks of various sizes. The host was very gracious about accommodating special requests and made sure to check in with us during the stay to see if we had any questions or problems. Communication before and during the trip was great. We have family in the area we were visiting and they will recommend this property to out of town guests in the future.

Traveling with friends

We traveled for the PGA Championship. The area had lots to do before the tournament. Very roomy house with extra amenities for our group. Lake was low due to power company so we couldn’t use kayaks, but looked like fun. Other than a few small items for them to address the house was great for our visit. Hiking, boating and great restaurants close by.

Perfect peaceful lake retreat

We spent our July 4th holiday here and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was clean, comfortable, and had nearly everything we needed. It's so quiet here and yet just a few minutes from groceries and restaurants. Everything was well-maintained, and the whole place just felt cozy and relaxing. Host was very responsive and helpful, too. Hard to believe this place is so close to Charlotte!

So sorry the neighbors weren’t happy with your group walking on their pier. While they are great neighbors, they are sensitive to strangers. Please know that the “Ring App” does notify owners if there is any movement detected. We offer a peaceful, 5-star experience that most people love! Thanks for leaving the house neat and clean. We would still be glad to host your group of guys again.

Great House! Great Lake! Everything you need and more!

We stayed for 10 days and had everything we needed. Homeowners were very responsive and left a welcome basket for us. Movie room was a plus! We caught many catfish from the lake - a 40lb one too! Beds are comfortable and had plenty of linens. Friendly neighbors. Kayaks provided but we didnt have a chance to use them. Would definitely stay here again!

Water

Very nice well appointed home. Circumstance out of owner's control could have been informed earlier. We are avid fishers and had planned on doing that right from the rental property.However that was not possible due to hurricane damage and the dam needing repair which resulted in very low water levels. Fishing therefore was made inconvenient. Very pleased with location and response time when needing questions answered. Would recommend.

Absolutely Amazing!

The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. They were more than accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. I would rent this property again and again. It is a beautiful home on a beautiful lake. The owners thought of everything towels pots. And pans coffee upstairs.Every little detail was there. The owner checked on us a few times during our stay.To make sure we had everything we needed, and that everything was okay. We would definitely rent this property again. And would definitely recommend this to other people. They also had beautiful sitting areas outside a grill that we could use a fire pit that they encouraged us to use a sitting area outside with fans. They thought of every little detail, and it made the stay so nice.
