About this property

Waterfront Log Cabin w/Hot Tub, Kayaks, Firepit, King Beds, & Pets OK

Super secluded log cabin that sits right on Lake Norman, featuring:
✹ Lakefront with private dock
✹ Hot tub and fire pit
✹ Highly-rated by all guests
✹ HGTV Design

Managed by Avanza Vacations property management. Imagine your family escaping to a cozy log cabin perched on a more secluded portion of Lake Norman, where tranquility meets comfort. As the sun rises, your day begins with a warm cup of coffee on the screened-in porch, embraced by soft, plush furniture and gentle lake breezes. The kids are already planning their day: a morning paddle on the lake with kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, followed by an afternoon exploring nearby attractions. Inside, the cabin`s spacious living rooms, adorned with large flat-screen TVs and inviting sofas, offer a perfect spot for family movie time, while the fully equipped kitchens beckon the chef in your family to prepare a delicious lakeside meal.

As the evening settles in, laughter fills the air around the fire pit where marshmallows turn golden brown and stories are shared under the starlit sky. The highlight of the night is a relaxing soak in the outdoor hot tub, big enough for the whole family, providing a soothing end to an adventurous day. Each moment at this cabin strengthens the bond of family, surrounded by nature’s beauty and a host of comforts that make every minute memorable. This isn`t just a getaway; it`s a picturesque retreat where family memories are waiting to be made, all set against the backdrop of Lake Norman`s breathtaking views.
