Our stay at Lake Escape Cottage on the Cove was wonderful. The property owners truly thought of everything that made our stay enjoyable and effortless. The cottage was just as described and very clean. There was so much available on site for our kids. Lake toys were plentiful and the game room came in handy when we were stuck inside due to rain. The water near the dock was more shallow than others places on the lake, however we were able to put our boat on the side with the ladder and everything worked out ok. We would definitely stay at a Lake Escape property again!

This place had everything! We had an amazing stay. It was very clean and updated. Well stocked with anything we needed. The game room was stellar! Nice location tucked away in a quiet cove with a huge yard for fun activities. We would absolutely consider this house again!
5.0
We loved that this beautiful home had everything. It was well-stocked, quiet and secluded, and full of fun activities for all ages. We used the cornhole boards, lake toys (kayaks, noodles, etc), fire pit, grill, and more. We really took advantage of the whole property! You can tell the home was not built and renovated to be just a rental — it was renovated like a real home, high quality. Beds were very comfortable, amenities were high-quality and plentiful, and common areas had lots of comfy seating.

This was perfect! And absolutely beautiful!! There were a few things, but NOTHING that couldn’t be overlooked: the skee ball was broken, both fishing poles were broken, construction going on across the lake, and spiders and wasps!! The one thing I would suggest is a good cleaning of the lawn furniture next to the lake. They were covered in spider webs and some bird droppings.
But AGAIN, it was amazing!! And VERY accommodating - they responded quickly! Will definitely stay again!

When we arrived, the property was even nicer than in the pictures. Everything is nicely updated throughout, and had all the necessary amenities for our stay. The hosts were very easy to communicate with, and responded promptly to all of our inquiries / requests! The garage game room was great for the kids, and even better for the adults when the kids went to bed! The outdoor amenities were plentiful as well. We all enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks, and the fire pit and swing were great too. If you’re going to Lake Norman, rent this house! 10/10.

We were a group of 3 couples that decided to take a few days after a work conference to relax. We had everything we needed there - including a friendly duck that jumped on the back of the SUP! We took advantage of all that we could fit in: kayaks & SUPs, firepit, everything we needed to cook a meal, eating dinner on the porch (ceiling fans kept it comfortable), and the games. The coffee was much appreciated. The location was quiet but still close the grocery store. Would definitely rebook if back in the area!

Was a great place, near Davidson and Mooresville so escaping Charlotte traffic. Was surprisingly a lot of traffic but didn't have any issues getting into places to eat. Lovely stay right on the lake.

This property was lovely. It was exactly as listed. I thought that the owners made it a goal to provide anything you could think of, so that your vacation could just be focused on relaxation and enjoyment…very generous and thoughtful in many details! I’m so thankful we got to stay at this rental!

Our visit was to surprise our nephew (it worked!) and to have a relaxing weekend. WE loved our stay: the house looked just like the listing, the kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. The game room is an added bonus. We will definitely be back!
5.0
We were looking for a little change of scenery and some time on the water, and found both at this property. Frequent visits by ducks and heron were also unexpected guests. The neighborhood was pretty quiet and honestly, we saw very few people during our stay. The house was immaculate, beds were pretty comfy and the kitchen and baths were exceptionally well equipped. While we did have some difficulty with accessing our own streaming services on the TV, since we weren't there for TV viewing, it was a minor annoyance. We would return to this property again - or any of the owners' other properties as well. They were great hosts.

This house is a perfect getaway! It has an ideal location, is spotless, and the game room provides hours of fun when you aren't on the lake or at the fire pit. We recommend it highly!

My husband, our Fur Baby, and I spent four peaceful days at this lovely home. We felt very comfortable in this pretty home and beautiful neighborhood. I had brought along 2 pots for cooking and really did not have to because the kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed for cooking and baking. This was the first time we rented a vacation home and we were pleased with the cleanliness of the entire home and the picturesque surroundings. We were happy just to relax by the dock, sit on the chairswing by the lake, and read on their spacious front porch. I cooked all the meals at the house. The Publics Supermarket was very convenient... just 4 minutes away by car. Our dog was happy here too because there was enough property to walk her on and peaceful surroundings. We also enjoyed playing ping pong in the spacious game room off the kitchen.We certainly hope to return to this vacation home in the future.

Our family had such a great time in this home for the week! The house was so well stocked inside and out that we had everything we could have needed for our stay. The different size kayaks and life jackets allowed our whole family to kayak together and the location on the quiet cove was so great for the kids in the water. There were plenty of lawn games to keep everyone occupied all week. The game room in the garage was also a big hit and our kids spent the trip home trying to come up with a plan for where we could put one like it in our house. The hammocks, swings, lounge chairs, and comfortable couches in the living room gave us lots of places to relax and the beds were very comfortable. We can't wait to come back!

You just never know what you are renting until you get to the property, and it WAS FANTASTIC! Exactly as described on VRBO. The property was very clean, and all the extra outdoor/water toys were PERFECT and above and beyond what we expected! The yard is great when traveling with pets and all the little interior "extras" provided by the owners were greatly appreciated! My adult kids are kind of pickly and they were SO happy with my choice for them! They want to stay there again next year! Jessica was wonderful to deal with and every time I reached out to her she responded immediately! Thanks again, Jessica, for helping my family have such a great 4th of July gathering! We'll see you next year!

Not only was everything about the house perfect, but the unexpected nature experience was lovely. The lake - fish, turtles, otter across the way; the trees - two adult hawks raising their three babies ... absolutely precious! So many other birds and butterflies as well. We rented a boat one full day and pulled right into the spacious dock for a lunch break. Took the kayaks and boards out for a nice long adventure down the cove to the right, then left. Kids loved the game room, and very nice outdoors setup - including the fireput and smores! Thank you for having us!

Highly recommend !!- the house was decorated to combine warmth with updated touches
The game room is incredible! The layout provides space for people to spread out-deck chairs by the water, fire pit, picnic tables and a great front porch
It also provided everything we needed for the water- kayaks etc. and other outdoor games . The dock/boat slip looks new - and is lighted. Home for the summer - our college aged daughters also loved it . Excited to book our next stay

I can't say enough great things about our experience. The house was beautiful; extremely clean and well-organized with new appliances, comfy beds, and a fantastic game room. The owners thought of everything we could possibly need and really paid attention to the details! In addition, the property manager could not have been more responsive and welcoming. I highly recommend!!!!!

We had a great experience! Everything was perfectly clean, super comfortable, and had absolutely everything we needed. We were so impressed with the number of outdoor water toys. My kids loved the house, playing in the yard, and going out on kayaks. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and made check-in and check-out super easy to understand. We would definitely come back :)

We took a family spring break trip and stayed at this lake. Norman house. What a wonderful place to stay that had plenty of activities that we could do with our family. We’d love the game room and the location right on the water as well as lots of things to do nearby. We had a blast.

We had such a good time on the lake! The house is clean and wonderfully decorated. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for the week. We cooked in and ate out at a couple restaurants recommended in the guest books. The game room was great and perfect for the family. We kayaked and paddle boarded! It was an awesome experience.

Perfect cottage- it’s at the end of a quiet street, we loved the fire pit overlooking the lake, the hammocks, the walkway down to the dock and the kayaks. We went kayaking one day and utilized the game room. Our boys loved playing ping pong, pac man, and the basketball game. The two bathrooms are nicely updated and it was extremely clean and cozy. We would rent again!
