Feedback from Past Renters:
1. Private boat ramp was big plus--little tykes could wade into the water to splash; big tykes could wade in, board their floaties and not spill their drinks. N.B. Most Lake Norman properties' shorelines are lined with large rocks, relegating swimming to jumping off the dock (which you may do on this property also).
2. Large, flat back yard was great for family participation in badminton, volleyball, croquet, boccee ball, etc.
3. Lots of activities available inside at night or on a rainy day: billiards, ping pong, gaming table, darts, TV, stereo, games.
4. Quiet cove location to watch ducks and mallards swim by, yet only 1/4 mile from open water.
5. Owner's attention to decorating detail and cleanliness of house were big plusses.

Near-By Amenities: 1. Array of restaurants from 1.5 to 7 miles away, including pizza, steak/seafood, sports bars/restaurants, sushi, Mexican, Chinese and poke bowls, as well as fast food outlets.
2. New, large, upscale Publix grocery store, Pizza Hut and Mexican restaurant 1.5 miles from house. ABC store 2 miles away.
3. Within 7 miles of house: Dick's Sports, WalMart, Walgreen's, CVC, Bed 'n Bath, Best Buy, Staples, Lowe's.
4. Within 2 miles of house: marina for pontoon boat and jet ski rentals; large passenger boat for lake cruises/tours.
5. Antique stores in old downtown area--about 9 miles away.

Easter weekend at Lake Norman

Our four kids and us enjoyed this property immensely! We were able to bring our small bass boat and the kids enjoyed many hours of fishing off the dock and their boat. We also loved having the outdoor fire pit and plenty of wood! They had a badminton net that the kids also spent hours playing. Overall, we would rate this as excellent! The house was very spacious, had lots of activities, both indoors and outdoors, and the host was awesome at communication. We look forward to returning!

This house had a lot of amenities and the listing was just as shown. The hot tub, pool table, volleyball and badminton were a hit with everyone. The owner was very easy to get ahold of. The only thing that we missed was lights down on the dock area and in the gazebo, but otherwise, it was absolutely fantastic!

Family Fun on the lake

We enjoyed playing in the water off the dock with our children and grandchildren. Fun times kayaking, floating and swimming. We saw lots of different birds, jumping fish and turtles Jerome the gazebo and dock. We had a great time playing cards, pool, and puzzling. The grill was used most nights and we were able to eat on the lower patio. We do recommend bug spray, especially in the early morning and evening. Overall a good time was had by all!

Absolutely gorgeous house overlooking the beautiful clean lake.

My family have been going on 11 years of being a VRBO Summer family Lakehouse getaway of Various NC and SC lakes. Lake Norman has been one of our favorite lakes to visit and swim in. I have to say that this beautiful house and property has fulfilled all of our needs. Mr.Jones is a very pleasant host, and in speaking with him on the phone and sharing information about the rental company of pontoon boats that were near by his property was very helpful. Although we decided not to use any of the services and brought our own kayaks instead and it suited our family just fine. I highly recommend this home and we will definitely rent again in the near future.♥️

June getaway

Location was beautiful. House had all the comforts of home. I wish the owner was there for our arrival, so that obvious flaws would be noted by him, and we would not be blamed for them after we left. Namely, a crack in the floor by the pool table, 2 defective vacuum cleaners, a large crockpot that wasn't even there, an outdoor grill we couldn't get to work. I had a medical emergency while there, and EMS was there within five minutes, and the situation was resolved on the spot. Although the weather kept us inside, we never ran out of things to do.

Family Fun 4th

Let me start by saying how great the owners are. We had a medical emergency arise prior to our vacation and thought we were going to have to cancel or postpone our trip. The owners came up with a fair outcome if we were indeed going to have to change our plans even through they were in no way obligated to do so. We really appreciated that. Luckily just part of our party had to come later than planed and all worked out in the end. The house is in a great area. Grocery store and eateries within minutes from the house. Marina where we had a boat for use wasn’t far as well which was nice. House is nicely appointed and thought out when it comes to amenities. We did not use the hot tub due to the heat but it was clean and chemicals and directions were there. Rooms were a great size. Beds comfortable. We had a great time. The only negative I would say was that while the basics of the house were clean it definitely needed an overall spring cleaning. Fans were dirty, dead bugs in the corners and door tracks. Oven needed cleaning and an overall cleaning of the cabinets and pantry is needed. While the house has every imaginable kitchen item I will have to say it maybe was too much. There wasn’t much cabinet space to put your own items/groceries. I am sure it is very hard though to keep up with cleaning/cobwebs especially when dealing with a house so close to the water. All in all great home and great vacation.

Thanksgiving Retreat

Prior to our stay, the host was very easy to reach for questions as we prepared for our family’s annual Thanksgiving trip. They even took time to purchase and stock the home with a new roasting pan! Upon arrival we found two awesome surprises awaiting our family; a cute basket with s’mores ingredients and a bottle of chilled wine. The outdoor fire pit had wood already setup and ready for us to use. The home is spacious, very cozy, the kitchen is extremely well stocked and even had tons of spices which came in handy on turkey day! The game room was a highlight! Our family enjoyed the ping-ping/pool table, poker table, HOT TUB, fireplaces and the game room TV for football (GO Noles!). The yard is gorgeous and awesome for outdoor play, etc. and the charming gazebo is a great place to sit and enjoy the lake. We thoroughly enjoyed this home and look forward to future visits. Thanks for having us!

Great Place

Our group had the greatest time. The house was just as described. Very spacious and the view is amazing. One thing I found very convenient was the proximity to a Publix Supermaket, only about 4 mins away. The Host, Fred is a very flexible person. He accommodated our check in/out process in order to make us feel more comfortable. Very quite neighborhood.
