The Birdhouse at Lake Norman
Dear Robert and Charleen, Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. The Bird House is truly a gem, and you are blessed to own it. The pictures on Airbnb do not do the house justice. As I entered on Wednesday, my breath was taken away; the views of the lake and natural light filled every room. The beauty of the natural surroundings, together with the well-thought-out interior design and appointments, made our experience one to remember. My mother and I truly had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving. You had very clear notes regarding how to work everything (the blinds). Clearly, a lot of thought was put into what would make guests comfortable (lap blankets and a variety of lighting with dimmers), and all of the items one would use at home were in the kitchen, enabling us not to have one worry during our stay. We hope to return during warmer weather to enjoy the outdoors.

The Dreamy Lake Lodge
Beautiful location. Great host. Clean house (minus some spiders) more than enough to do at the location. NO SIGNAL a true get away.

Modern Lake Hickory Home w/Dock, Firepit, Gameroom
Excellent stay! The house is equipped with everything you need and then some! So peaceful and quiet The walk down to the water is a workout but beautiful. We had an amazing stay here and will come back if we are in the area again!

Peninsula Haven on the Lake
This home is beautiful, well laid out and perfectly equipped for a relaxing stay. The location is ideal, with beautiful views of Lake Norman in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to shopping and great restaurants. Giovanni is an excellent host who responds quickly and kindly.

Lake Norman Trabin with Boat Ramp and Dock
Julie was such a great host and this property was truly beautiful! The place looks just like the picture and was even more spacious than I expected! This property easily accommodated my group. Julie was very responsive and made sure to give us updates on an issue out of her control. Will be booking again! We’ve already started planning our next trip.

Charming 3BR Lakefront Lake Norman Home with Beach
David’s place was great!!! Private, peaceful, it was clean with lots of space.. this is one of our favorite places to stay at Lake Norman.

Turtle Cove by SoCharm | Waterfront Home w/Hot Tub
4.4 stars. i felt our experience was good enough to warrant a 5 star rating despite the shortcommings. Pros: very clean. very spacious stocked well enough for a rental hot tub in top notch condition good view, air hockey table worked great. very pleasant stay cons: house was 55 degrees upon arrival. disturbing. slowly heated to 70 over about a day. one of 2 fire places worked arcade machine worked for a bit then crapped out. screen non functional. screen was also no really playable as it was veritcally offset incorrectly. pool table is no level making any serious game impossible TVs only have HDMI inputs 5-6 hour response time upon arrival. had to figure out everything on our own. house layout is a tad meandering to navigate, but ok air hockey, fuzzball, arcade are in the garage where its freezing cold.

Hideaway Hill Lakefront Relaxation Great Amenities
We stayed at this location as a family for our little sister‘s wedding. The serenity and peacefulness of it all was more than we could have asked for. Not only was the home more gorgeous in person than it was in pictures, the property was gorgeous. Every Property around it was just as beautiful. We loved it so much! The house was very clean and accommodated everyone in the family. They even had dishes for the kids. The kitchen was fully stocked, all closets and bathrooms were fully stocked with necessities. Even the cabinets had every food ingredient that you need to cook, like oils and seasonings. I rate this place 10 out of 10, it is worth every dollar.
Lake access apartment rentals

Tranquility Cove - Beautiful Lakefront Apartment
It was situated on a beautiful lake in a beautiful neighborhood. Everything we needed was there. I would highly recommend staying at Patricia’s Airbnb. She was an excellent hostess.

Non-smoking Lakefront apartment
Blin's place was spotless, comfortable and the view was stunning - Fall leaves were in full color while we were there. The bathrooms were spacious and clean - the water was hot with good pressure. The king bed in the master was supportive and comfortable. I heard no complaints about the bunk room beds the kids used. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, bowls and cooking utensils. All appliances worked well. It was muddy while we were there so we rolled up the light colored rugs so we didn't accidentally stain them. We had our dog with us and there was plenty of area for him to run and the streets were quiet for a walk along the road. There are steps all the way to the water which will be amazing for lake access in the summer. As it was cold while we were there and the lake was still recovering from Hurrican Helene, we did not get in the water. All in all it was a great place to stay.

Sail Away Suite
Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite

LakeLife Retreat featuring Hot Tub & King Bed
What a Gem! The view is spectacular ! We loved every minute of our stay! Sherry and Dan are awesome! Thank you guys and we will be back! 😉

Private Hideaway on Lake Norman
I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The place was spotless and beautifully set up, making it feel like a home away from home. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, perfect for relaxing after a long day. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, from the essentials to thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special. Jeff, the host, was incredibly helpful and always quick to respond to any questions I had about the house. I highly recommend staying here – it’s a fantastic spot!

Waterfront apartment near dt Davidson
Great weekend spent at Lore’s place. Pictures do not do it justice. Better than we expected. Very clean and everything you would need. The design of inside was beautiful. Every detail Lore has covered and more than you need. Will definitely be back again. Kudos to a wonderful place.

Tranquil Lakefront Carriage House with Dock
The apartment is beautiful. We had a peaceful stay. I liked the big windows overlooking the lake. I enjoyed picnicking on the dock and kayaking around the cove.

Waterfront Penthouse | Fun for Families&Long Stays
Great condo, spacious and beautiful view on the lake. Perfect for our family size and near a great coffee shop.
Lake access cottage rentals

Sandy Beach Cottage On Lake Hickory
Beautiful property! Ideal proximity to Rock Barn Spa & Golf and great restaurants (Fourk!) but so private and peaceful.

Rustic Lakefront Retreat w/Hot Tub & Pet Friendly
“Had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check-in was smooth, and the host was friendly and responsive. The location was perfect — quiet but close to everything I needed. Definitely recommend and would stay here again!”

Sun-filled Lakefront Cottage Oasis
Absolutely the BEST play to stay! We booked a 3-night stay for a weekend getaway. I found Sun-filled Lakefront Cottage Oasis by happenstance while looking for a retreat at Lake Norman. It was exactly what we had hoped for! A quiet, cozy, clean cottage on a beautiful property with breathtaking views of the lake. It's just a short drive into town with plenty of places to eat but also had a kitchen (very well stocked) so you could cook yourself and stay in (& why not with those views). The pier was great, and it had nice shade to sit and relax while reading a book, fishing, or just enjoying nature. The cottage was extremely comfortable overall with everything you could possibly need for a getaway. We loved that you have a lake view from all rooms of the cottage. The owner was very friendly, helpful, and gracious. I loved the recommendations as to what to see and where to eat in Sherrill’s Ford put together by the owner! Absolute perfection…We will definitely be back!!

Lake-house Not far away but you feel like it is.
Jack is a great host. My wife and I enjoyed meeting him. He does not live in the BnB but is close by if you need him. He met us at the house and showed us around. The house is beautiful and right on the water. The boat ramp is 3 mins from the house. We will definitely be back!!

Hot Tub~Paddleboard~Kayak~Putting Green~Fun Games
The house was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. The house was a close distance to the lake. It’s not on the water but the boat ramp is close by. We enjoyed the big round dining room table to play UNO with the kids. We enjoyed the Charlotte Whitewater Center that is about 30 minutes away. The house is a great location.

Top Water Perch-Waterfront, Private Dock, Sleeps 8
Jamie covered everything in her e-mails, texts and booklet at the cabin that we had absolutely no questions or need for communication. We DID have a need to return after checkout to return the kayak to its proper location and she graciously gave us the go-ahead. We needed help from our grandsons to get it on the dock and carry it up to the rack provided and had to wait till they got out of school. Would so recommend her place to anyone who wants a lovely place on Lake Norman especially if they need to b near the Troutman area. Wonderful place!!!

Lakefront cottage with sandy beach and screenporch
This house was absolutely perfect and we would definitely stay here again. It was beautifully appointed, comfortable and clean.

“The View” Lake Front Cottage w/ Hot Tub
Great place, I will definitely come back to stay again.
