About this property

Lake Front Getaway, Family Friendly.

Enjoy the lake life and relax at Bally K, a cozy 3-bedroom cottage on a secluded 1.5-acre waterfront lot. 28 mins from downtown Charlotte, 5 minutes from I-77, in the gold zone for retail and amenities.

This is a low-slope lot. Everybody gets easy access to the water. No steps to climb at the dock, no steps to climb to get home.

Recently renovated with a new kitchen, hardwood floors, and new furnishings. Covered and screened-in porch with dining area. Open deck with great views of the lake.

30' x 30' floating dock. Deepwater lot with 12' - 18' of water at the pier, depending on the season. (12' in winter) Covered gazebo located over the water to enjoy those Lake Norman sunsets.

Get unlimited use of the 4 kayaks and the 2 stand-up paddleboards, all free with rental. Launch them from the dock or the sandy beach at the water's edge. Swim in the safe and protected private bay, no boat traffic, perfect for children of all ages.

Bring your boat, and put it in at Haggar Creek public access. Navigate less than 1/2 a mile back to our pier, and tie it up in the private boat slip.

Time Warner cable with Disney, Nick, Nick Jr, Boomerang, and all of the kid channels. Play Station, Wii, with lots of games. Great place for kids to enjoy their summer vacation.

Cozy cottage, with all the extras that made our Holiday season special. They decorated the cottage for the Christmas Season, left a beautiful floral arrangement fr our centerpiece on Thanksgiving Day, and left firewood by the fireplace to enjoy a cozy outdoor fire. Perfection!

Absolutely 10/10! Very nice place, from the hospitality and charming touches to peaceful location. We especially loved the screened in porch, fire pit, and gazebo on the dock. The hosts went above and beyond, providing their phone numbers in case we needed anything, fresh fruit and flowers, beach towels, life jackets, firewood for the fire pit, kayaks, and more. This place is so relaxing, we can't wait to return. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

We’ve been coming to Bally K cottage twice a year for past few years. It’s an easy, relaxing and quiet location. The owners are great to work with. Restaurants and grocery stores 10 mins away. Easy to check-in and out. Great access to the lake and dock fishing. Comfortable , home atmosphere. The grand kids come for a day and stay in the water the whole time. Paddle boards, kayaks and life vests are available. We will be back.

What a wonderful cozy place to stay! The lot has an amazing view of the water and the new dock was a wonderful place to stay, play, and dock the boat. We stayed for a week and made so many beautiful memories. Everything is even better in person! Shops, and restaurants are within 10-minute range. We walked in the morning and enjoyed the area. Kids loved to see deers walking in the forest. We would definitely stay again! Absolutely a gem!

Perfect Lakeside Cottage

Very much enjoyed our stay again! Thank you for sharing your home, and all the extras! We had a relaxing time and cannot wait to return! Comfy beds, screened-in porch with plenty of seating, the dock furniture was great for evening fishing or hanging out, and the sunning deck with umbrella is perfect for lounging. Loved the new couch and chair as well, and that the kitchen is always well stocked! Quality finishes make this one feel comfortable and like home!

About the host

Hosted by Tom O'Hare

Host profile image
Céad Míle Fáilte (Irish for a hundred thousand welcomes)

Born in Ireland, Tom and Katie lived and worked all over the world. Their 2 children attended American schools in Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and Indonesia.

Although they traveled extensively, they always called Charlotte home. Now retired, they spend part of the year at their home in Mooresville, and the rest in Northern Ireland.

Bally K was purchased in 1982 as a vacation home. Both Tom and Katie have a passion for hosting. Since owning a chain of boutique motels seemed out of reach, (and a lot of work) Bally K Cottage was born.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, lakefront, residential neighborhood, close to amenities. 1.5 acre wooded lot on a cul-de-sac.

What makes this property unique

Low slope lot with no stairs to climb. Private dock with boat slip and easy access into the water.
