We had a wonderful time staying on Lake Norman in this beautiful home. It was well equipped and perfect for our two families. The kayaks and fire pit were both a welcome bonus and the quiet quaint neighborhood was perfect for relaxing.

Thank you for your kind words Laura. We are so happy you and the other family could enjoy Lake Norman Time and relax.
The property is clean and appears as in the photos. The dock was the highlight. We brought our boat (boat ramp about 10 minutes away by road; very convenient). The home is comfortable and relaxing. A great find!

A wonderful family holiday! Our littles loved playing on the beach all day (and I mean from the moment they woke up.) Outdoor area definitely the highlight, but the house itself was comfortable and great for families too. Lots of pillows, great AC, comfortable mattresses, curtains and blinds that actually blocked the light. Kitchen was stocked with spices and a good amount of supplies for a family that likes to cook. We rented a boat. That was a highlight. As were the deer and foxes that popped through the trees. My children caught a ton of caterpillars, and collected clam shells too. Can't wait to go back!

We were in the area for a family wedding and booked the house to relax after the festivities. The house worked great for us; the varied seating areas were beautiful and comfortable. We could play games, sit and talk, or just relax, either inside or outside. We highly recommend renting this house.

Property was PERFECT for our overnight adults and dayside visitors of all ages (pre-teens though 80's) with gentle sloping yard, beach and shaded portions of well-maintained dock. House was well-appointed, clean, modern and absolutely user-friendly. Parking was more than adequate and easy to maneuver around. Deck for overview of the family and yard for the mutts was icing on the cake. Management company was too good for words. Highly recommend!!!

Great relaxing weekend
Property was VERY clean and all amenities provided were exactly as advertised. We thoroughly enjoyed our pontoon boat rental and Lake Norman for it's great sight seeing and ability to use the boat to go to restaurants. Some minor issues with the TV in the upstairs bedroom not working and the wi-fi kept dropping, but as we were only there for a short 3 days we were satisfied. Overall I'd highly recommend the property and would definitely rent another that is managed by the same company!

Beautiful view!
The house was nice and clean. One of the steps going up to the master bedroom is a little warped and you felt like you were going to fall backwards. Also one of the steps on the dock should be repaired (top step I believe). We loved the views and the quiet Cove. We are so glad we rented the boat! So much fun!

House and amenities were very nice and exactly as described. Property is run through Stay Lake Norman. They called, emailed, and texted 10 times to confirm our plan and activities. This was way too frequent and was a nuisance coming up to our travel dates. I recommend Stay Lake Normal stop such frequent outreach.

My friends and I loved our stay here! The property was just as described. We cooked all our meals over the weekend, so we really appreciated the fully stocked kitchen (even including lots of herbs and spices). The grill on the deck was fully stocked with two propane tanks. We also enjoyed using the fire pit, although we had to bring our own firewood. One of the only downsides we found was that there was only one kayak instead of two, but it was a minor inconvenience. Would definitely return here again!

The property was just as appeared online with everything needed for the stay except food. The only inconvenient thing was the power and water went out (widespread outtage so no fault of mngmt) and there were no flashlights and it was evening on our last night so packing and cleaning had to wait until morning, with 10am checkout it was very hectic.

The house is smaller than depicted. No landscaping, pier and dock are in very bad shape
They need to replace pier and dock. Boards are loose and nail are sticking up. Three of us tripped. The house should have been cleaner. The sofa is terrible. The bedrooms were fine. Kitchen is very small and not a very good place to sit together.. The boat was terrific Like new.

Overbearing neighbors
Right as we were settling in, the neighbor walked over warning us not to let our dog go on their property (which he hadn’t even gone near) and then followed by them screaming at us from afar. It was just a bad way to start vacation honestly.
The house looks much bigger in photos. It was fully stocked and clean though. Dock was old and splintering with nails popping out. The water was nice and deep for swimming. Management was helpful and responsive throughout the stay.
