Great house and exceptional dock. We had a blast, owner communication was excellent.
4.8
Very relaxing stay. I chose this property because of the kayaks and paddle boards. We had a wonderful time. Providing kitchen towels and dishcloths would be helpful. But we had most of what we needed with the house. The owner was very attentive. We’d rent again for sure.

Everything was perfect. Nice, clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back again. Next time we will bring our dog!!! The wildlife was amazing. We had ducks that came everyday, deer, rabbits and herrings. It was beautiful!!!

beach is great, quiet cove with lots of shade, good boat dock. house could use a few more kitchen supplies if you want to cook anything beyond simple meal

Our stay at this location was perfect. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards every morning. The screened in porch was our favorite place to spend the evenings after dinner playing board games with our family. We also enjoyed roasting marshmallows by the campfire. We would definitely come back!!

We spent 3 months here escaping the frozen Downeast Maine winter. It was just 2 of us plus our dog who loved to sit on the screened in porch and watch the wildlife. The gas fireplace was very cozy. The place had all the amenities we needed - heat, well-appointed kitchen, lots of sheets and towels, and good showers. It was near many restaurants and any store you could ask for in Mooresville. 45 minutes to the Charlotte airport and downtown Charlotte - we went to a performance at the Belk Theater (avoid the attached parking garage if you can, took a long time to exit) and the Mint Museum. Lots to do in the area. Rick, the host, was easily reachable and responsive to any questions or requests we had. This cottage is definitely a find.

We had an amazing time one the lake with all the lake toys. We also had fun fishing off the dock. They had everything that you would need for your stay. Would stay again.

We had an amazing time. My mother-in-law (82) came with us and had a fun time with easy access to the beach area and dock. My husband and I had fun with all the lake toys and fishing. My puppy had fun seeing the deer while taking walks. We will stay again when we visit the area.
4.8
The location, beach and dock is amazing! Unfortunately the cottage was tidy but alot of cobwebs, dirty windows and a very strong musty/mildew smell. The furniture could be updated also. We spent alot of our time enjoying outside on the beach and by the fire pit.

Rick provided a wonderful place to stay for 3 months in the winter. He was very accommodating and easily reached. The kitchen had everything we needed. Being on the lake in a quiet neighborhood was very relaxing, but near to many restaurants and stores. Definitely would recommend this place.

We had a great time everything was like it said online I loved the heat in the bathrooms mainly the one upstairs after a good shower the lake is just beautiful didn’t have any problems except the Kuerig coffee maker didn’t work didn’t find that out till we already bought coffee and tried to make it but luckily they had another coffee maker we could use! Overall great property and stay!

We really enjoyed the home and location. The property is outstanding. I recommend bringing your own pillows and even a crockpot & storage containers for refrigeration. Bring your own life jackets too! Otherwise, wonderful! There is two adult kayaks (one tandem), two childrens and two paddle boards. Beach is so nice! Loved our stay.

Pictures do not do it justice. This 3 bedroom cottage / house was the perfect location on Lake Norman for our end of summer family vacation. The view is stunning. Quiet woody neighborhood. We rented a boat for the week which was super easy and with the kayaks and paddle boards we spent most of the time on the Lake. The cove was excellent for swimming as well. Hopefully we will be back soon!
