Very quaint & comfy home!! Very easy to maneuver around with family. Fishing is great, the beach area was wonderful for my grandson & dog. We really appreciated having the sidewalk that led from the house down to the water made for easy walking. We will book again!!

We're so glad the home felt quaint and comfortable for the whole family, including the little one and the pup! It's wonderful to hear the fishing and beach area made for such a great time, and that the sidewalk down to the water made things easy to navigate. Comments like this make our day, and we appreciate you taking the time to share such a thoughtful 5-star review.

A perfect little house for a 4 day getaway! All 4 beds were perfect. Nice to cook there. Relaxing on the dock trying to catch fish, and not far from the dirt track we were there for! Not much can be said but THANK YOU!
Perfect way to kill the day!
Cute little kitchen to make a toast!
All the kitchen stuff you needed for a big pot of chili and rice!

The house is as advertised, older, rustic, beautiful views. The beach is perfect for little kids. Lake is clean and wonderful. Only issues were sketchy stairs with no rail and the AC doesn't make the house cool enough. For instance, the house is in the 80's if its in the 90's outside. I'd bring a portable AC unit if possible, at least to help avoid sleeping in a puddle of sweat.

We're glad to hear you enjoyed the home's rustic charm, beautiful views, and the beach on the lake. We appreciate your feedback regarding the stairs and the home's cooling during warmer weather. Since your stay, we've updated our welcome information with tips for maximizing indoor comfort during warmer weather, including keeping the upstairs bedroom doors closed while the air conditioning is running, and we've replaced the ceiling fan in the primary bedroom to provide a quieter and more comfortable sleeping environment.

Nice Get Away

We had an amazing time. My mother-in-law (82) came with us and had a fun time with easy access to the beach area and dock. My husband and I had fun with all the lake toys and fishing. My puppy had fun seeing the deer while taking walks. We will stay again when we visit the area.

Wonderful Week on the Lake

Our stay at this location was perfect. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards every morning. The screened in porch was our favorite place to spend the evenings after dinner playing board games with our family. We also enjoyed roasting marshmallows by the campfire. We would definitely come back!!

Awesome fishing trip

Our family had a great vacation at this home! We fished everyday that it didn’t rain. Fishing was excellent, The fish are glad we left! (He He) this home had an excellent dock with electricity to charge our boats. The home was very accommodating for our whole family (5 adults and 2 children).

Peaceful, well appointed, clean, comfortable

Rick provided a wonderful place to stay for 3 months in the winter. He was very accommodating and easily reached. The kitchen had everything we needed. Being on the lake in a quiet neighborhood was very relaxing, but near to many restaurants and stores. Definitely would recommend this place.

Relaxing!

Very relaxing stay. I chose this property because of the kayaks and paddle boards. We had a wonderful time. Providing kitchen towels and dishcloths would be helpful. But we had most of what we needed with the house. The owner was very attentive. We’d rent again for sure.

Lake Norman

The location, beach and dock is amazing! Unfortunately the cottage was tidy but alot of cobwebs, dirty windows and a very strong musty/mildew smell. The furniture could be updated also. We spent alot of our time enjoying outside on the beach and by the fire pit.

We enjoyed the view. My daughter got a catfish 30.5 pounds. Fishing was great couldnt ask for a better place to stay. The only thing that i would change would be the staircase. It need a handle on the bottom wall for people to get up the stairs..My mom couldnt get upstair without a handle. I fell coming down the stairs. The place was beautiful. Could use a good deep cleaning. My daughter service dog loved the place too. We all would love to come back again

Peaceful location, great porch, great host

We spent 3 months here escaping the frozen Downeast Maine winter. It was just 2 of us plus our dog who loved to sit on the screened in porch and watch the wildlife. The gas fireplace was very cozy. The place had all the amenities we needed - heat, well-appointed kitchen, lots of sheets and towels, and good showers. It was near many restaurants and any store you could ask for in Mooresville. 45 minutes to the Charlotte airport and downtown Charlotte - we went to a performance at the Belk Theater (avoid the attached parking garage if you can, took a long time to exit) and the Mint Museum. Lots to do in the area. Rick, the host, was easily reachable and responsive to any questions or requests we had. This cottage is definitely a find.

Location …Location…

We really enjoyed the home and location. The property is outstanding. I recommend bringing your own pillows and even a crockpot & storage containers for refrigeration. Bring your own life jackets too! Otherwise, wonderful! There is two adult kayaks (one tandem), two childrens and two paddle boards. Beach is so nice! Loved our stay.
