Glass Mansion, Never Again

A/C in activity/bunk room on 1st floor was basically nonfunctional upon arrival (Sunday). Were informed by housekeeping when we arrived this was a known issue.  We called to report and had to wait until Thursday for HVAC repairman. Temp was mid-upper 70's in that room for days.  In kitchen on 2nd floor the garbage disposal and adjacent dishwasher were not working upon arrival.  These issues were resolved, only to have the garbage disposal stop working 2 days later (was finally fixed even though repairman wondered if we could do without it).  The freezer in the main kitchen desperately needs an adjustment; it doesn't make ice and needs to be defrosted. Alarm on that freezer routinely went off, quite annoying. On the Thermador stove, at least one of the knobs didn't seem to have an off (which was very dangerous). And then a knob broke off a couple of days into the stay and we were told not to use the griddle portion any longer. The repairman said he had the part but hadn't done the repair. So, again, this was an issue long known but not fixed.  We were trying to cook for 13 people, having a fully functioning stove was important.  Several blinds would not close; the repairman couldn't fix. On the 3rd floor (med size bedroom), the Toto toilet did not work properly, no automatic functionality.  It was a crapshoot whether you can get the elevator to work. So, it wasn't worth trying to use, afraid of getting stuck. Temp in master BR often very warm, A/C couldn't keep up.

About the host

Hosted by StayLakeNorman LLC

Host profile image
In 2015, StayLakeNorman started with their first specialty vacation rental home with an "urban contemporary" design theme. The Lake Norman vacation rental market loved this new offering, as the approximately 200 vacation homes in the area at that time were mostly just older lake homes that owners we not using and calling them vacation homes. Most had mismatched furniture, decor, colors and no dedicated style or concise personality. Over the next few years, StayLakeNorman continued to add new homes to the market and the luxury vacation rental standard was pushed up higher again.

StayLakeNorman was born and a "one-stop, sexy-house shop" was in full swing with the best designers and contractors in place to offer what luxury vacation guests wanted and demanded based on market feedback. We implemented management processes from the best and largest companies in the USA and continue to fine-tune the operation. Much was learned and many mistakes made.

Switch forward to today, StayLakeNorman has in their control the strongest performing vacation rental homes on Lake Norman. We also have a boat rental company and concierge services to help complete what luxury guests want in their vacations. Our staff includes Reservationists, Housekeeping Managers, Maintenance folks, Quality Control teams, and third-party housekeepers, private chefs, massage therapists, etc.

If you are planning a family get together, ladies' trip or Grandad's 80th birthday surprise, we promise to supply the best luxury vacation rental homes on Lake Norman.

Come stay with us a while and you may not want to leave…and if you don't, then we can sell you a lake home through our real estate brokerage.
