Perfect family vacation!

Mallard Vestige couldn’t have been any better for our family reunion of 16 (5 were little kids)! Having the rental boat delivered and waiting for use was a bonus! Great layout to the house and wonderfully updated too! We are definitely booking for next year, after looking extensively there is no comparison! And Stay Lake Norman property managers were outstanding!

Team Building Retreat

We stayed at Mallard Vestige as a group of 9 coworkers for a few days of training, annual planning, and team building. The house was perfect for having meetings together as well as relaxing and grilling. We had a boat for a couple days which was great, and the rental process was very easy. There was enough room for everyone and the entertainment space was great to have.

This home was perfect for our family gathering. The main kitchen is open to the large family room and has ample seating.

Fantastic lake house experience

We had four families together for a week in this house, ages spanning 1 to 70, all had a great time at this property. Wonderful views from the back deck and the pool, plus a robust dock that accommodated a pontoon boat and jet ski (dock has lift which is nice). Is located in a corner of the lake with relatively low boating traffic and calm waters. Property management was extremely service oriented, helping us set up equipment and boat rentals in advance and responding to requests and questions promptly. Kids enjoyed the games (air hockey, shuffle board). Pontoon boat rides with surreal sunset views. All this made for a wonderful family gathering experience.

Beautiful house for relaxing staycation

The house is beautiful and really functional layout for our family. On the surface the house was clean but is definitely due for a deep cleaning (cabinets pretty dirty, dead bugs in corners, etc). There were a few issues with applications not working great but fortunately a second kitchen downstairs. We had a bug issue the first night and the property manager responded very quickly and had someone out the next morning. We would love to come back just hopefully a little cleaner next time!

Several Issues during Family Weekend Stay...

First off - The house is beautiful. But... There was apparently no exterior cleanup prior to our arrival. The exterior tables and chairs were loaded with pollen. The swimming pool deck had leaves everywhere. There were spider webs all over the main floor deck. Given the time of year of our stay (late April), some pollen and leaves would be understandable, but it looked like there had been no exterior cleanup at this place in many months. Despite our efforts, the upstairs air conditioning did not work at all. Unfortunately, we had the warmest weather of the calendar year to date, and it was extremely warm upstairs. This made for some uncomfortable sleeping temperatures. We phoned the maintenance crew for assistance, but they were unable to fix the AC upon arrival. They put a very noisy window AC unit in one upstairs room and fans in the other upstairs room. These didn't help much at all. The lower level of the house had an alarm on the exterior doors - this seemed to be a child pool safety alarm. The alarm sounded every time the door was opened, and it was very loud. We were not able to disable this, but when the maintenance crew came to address the AC issue, they were able to disable the alarm for us. The pool was advertised as 80 degrees, but it was very cold. There was no access to the swimming pool heating controls. For some reason, the stove on the main level was locked and was not able to be used. We had to use the stove on the lower level. Also - the hot water in the house took a long while to work. When going to shower, we had to wait 3-5min for the water to get warm enough to take a comfortable shower. There was no ball provided for the Foosball table - at least we couldn't find one. Overall we didn't have the best experience.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 May, 2022
Thank you so much for your review David. We take these issues very seriously and will be addressing them immediately. You're correct, a constant battle with leaves, spider webs, and pollen during that time of year is a headache; so sorry we dropped the ball on ensuring it was ready for your stay. We're glad our team answered to your calls and once again apologize the A/C decided it wasn't going to work for you during that time. It is up and running now that a licensed HVAC company tended to it. Per NC building code those alarm systems must be working at all times. We will address the stove and the foosball issue with our team immediately as this is not our standard. We do hope you give us another chance to show you what we are capable of providing.

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.
