Waterfront Lake Norman Experience w/Boat Rental

SarahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Can’t say enough about Zack’s home. It was the perfect spot for a quiet, peaceful but also incredibly fun getaway! The house was just as pictured (if not better). It was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. The deck was perfect for relaxing the sun as well as a tasty dinner on the grill. The bonus bar room provided many competitive & fun rounds of darts while keeping up with sports games on tv. The dock was the perfect relaxation spot. Our boys also used it to fish from and also jumped in a few times. We took advantage of both the kayaks and the boat rental. SOO fun!! Zack’s dad, Jeff, explained everything needed to use the boat. He was extremely friendly and helpful. We had the best time, felt right at home and created a ton of fun family memories here. Definitely hope to visit again!

A view is presented from the steps leading down to the lakefront, showcasing a sandy beach area with turquoise Adirondack chairs arranged nearby. A wooden dock extends into the water, surrounded by lush greenery and clear blue skies.

Amazing stay, beautiful views, and a great host. The house is fully stocked, making you feel right at home. Close to shopping and restaurants and quiet neighborhood to make you feel far away. Can’t say one thing wrong about this place.

On Lake Norman - The Guest Cottage

SherleneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My husband and I loved a short getaway to Tom's place. It was exactly as described. My husband will let me know if he approves of a place we stay or disapproves. He definitely approved of this sweet little place. It was quiet, clean and everything we were looking for. Looking forward to our next stay and Lake Norman Fred & Sherlene Chavis April 2025

Charming House in Charlotte!

VanceRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We stayed in Martha's home for 2 nights and it was a great place. The neighborhood was beautiful, and walkable to restaurants and groceries. It was peaceful and comfortable and we would definitely return for another stay. Martha was also very helpful after we had checked out, notifying us that we'd left something behind. She secured it for us until our daughter, who lives in Charlotte, could pick it up. 5 stars!

Blissful Lake Views + Hot Tub + Pool Table

SeanRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This home was beautifully appointed in every way. The views from the porch and deck were breathtaking, and we loved hearing all the birds at sunset and in the morning. The hot tub was just what we needed after a weekend camping! The kitchen was lovely to cook in, and the beds were very comfortable. This would be a perfect spot for a small family reunion- there are nice parks and restaurants nearby, but it is a perfect place to stay and relax too. We would love to stay here again!

Waterfront Townhome by Marina

JasonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The house had almost everything we could have wanted. Our time here was spent looking out over the river as the sun rose on our table. We played in the game room and chilled in the jacuzzi. And at the end each day we took long hot showers and went to sleep in soft beds. The host, Jayme was great and very responsive. We would stay here again.

Your Lake House Awaits!

GwendaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Absolutely magical! This lake house exceeded all our expectations and offered the perfect blend of adventure and serenity. The kitchen was a dream: spacious, beautifully equipped, and ideal for gathering and cooking together. We especially loved the screened-in porch, where we enjoyed peaceful mornings with coffee and evenings filled with conversations. The double decks right on the water made every moment feel like a postcard. The fire pit at the water was also a favorite gathering spot. The pedal boat, kayaks, and jacuzzi added so much fun and relaxation to our stay. We loved paddling around the lake by day and unwinding in the hot tub under the moonlight. Though the access road was a bit steep and winding (just take it slow!), the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in total calm. Zen is the perfect word. And being just 12 minutes from a grocery store was very convenient. Highly recommend.

A lakefront home is shown on a scenic point lot, surrounded by lush greenery. A wooden dock extends into the water, connecting to a covered boathouse. The property features multiple outdoor areas, including a pool and pathways leading to the home.

Waterfront Lake Norman Home With Amazing Views!

AaronRating, 5 stars4 days ago

I would recommend this spot for family gatherings or smaller to medium sized groups. Perfect location for activities on the water. Has a very private feeling but are still very close to all the stores you need. Hosts are friendly, communicative, and they have an awesome book that goes over everything in the house.

Lakeside getaway octagon house

AdrianRating, 5 stars9 months ago

My son and I had an excellent time staying in the downstairs unit. The location was very close to a couple marinas that provided us with wakeboarding trips and jet ski rentals. There is also a neighborhood swimming area within walking distance that was great for swimming and paddle boarding. Highly recommend. Affordable price for a couple or father/son trip and great location for exploring Lake Norman via access to marinas.

Main Channel Lake Home w/Hot Tub

JameyaRating, 5 stars5 months ago

My friends & I enjoyed this stay overall. We were celebrating my 40th birthday, & the house definitely served that purpose in many ways. It's very big & spacious, many cozy rooms with very comfy beds, & of course the best part of the property is the SPECTACULAR view of the lake, no matter where you're in or around the house. Also really loved the sun room but was disappointed we mostly couldn't use it at night because it was too cold out and the space is not well-insulated or heated. We tried to use space heaters, but that mostly didn't work. There were a few other issues throughout the house, like a few of the sunroom panes being off their track and seemingly impossible to put back on, a broken freezer handle, big speakers throughout the common areas that mostly didn't work, string lights in the sun room that were partially out and the main light out there not coming on, & the stove requiring stainless steel pots and pans to work. Otherwise, a great spot & getaway. I would come back.
