Our little house on Lake Norman is the quintessential simple lake house. If you are looking for a place with a fancy hot tub and white carpeting, this is not the place. However, if you are looking for a place with lots of family games, a canoe, kayaks, paddle board and other water toys, where you don't have to worry about getting run over by speeding boats when you swim, this is the place for you. You can explore the lake by canoe or kayak, or just curl up on the dock porch swing and read a book. If you are hungry, throw out a fishing line and wait for dinner to come to you.
