Had a great stay with family. Plenty of space for all inside and out. The dogs had a blast. Nice spot on lake, wish I booked stayed for more than a long weekend.

The home is set up wonderfully for a large family with plenty of space as well as being fully furnished with anything and everything you could possibly need for cooking, entertainment, and sleeping. Not to mention the outstanding views! Gina was easy to get in touch with and so friendly! Would love to visit here again!!
5.0
This house exceeded every expectation of our family and the photos don't do it justice. It is the most well-stocked kitchen for any rental property we've stayed. Our group was 16 ranging in age from 2 to 68 and everyone had something to do. The communication with Gina was top notch - she went out of her way to make our stay special.
5.0
This place had everything we needed for a large family vacation. Plenty of space, great lake access, and super responsive property manager. Would definitely go back.
5.0
We had a lovely time during our stay at the Lake Norman house. Gina was very responsive and helpful. The house and location was really nice. The location of the yellow room is interesting - there is no private inside access. To get into/out of the room, you have to go outside or through the primary suite.
We rented the boat from the owner and it worked fine, but it was showing some real wear and tear. Some of the seats were torn, so they used tape to repair them, but it didn't work and just left a very sticky residue that kept getting on our hands. The kids had a great time tubing though. Overall, we were happy with the rental.
5.0
Loved this expansive home with gorgeous views and lots of different areas to hang out, including a large covered dock. Debby and Gina were helpful and super responsive. Highly recommend!

Unique property in a beautiful setting. Amazing view over the water. Gormet kitchen. Lots of sitting areas for drinks and conversation. Great place for a family get together. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and also the boat. Gina very helpful with check in. Thanks so much!
5.0
This property was perfect and introduced us to Lake Norman in fine fashion. My extended family was here for a weddings and we used every bed available. The huge great room with the kitchen was fabulous for our "gathering place" and the deck was perfect for our breakfast and coffee. The layout of the house is unique and cool - we loved the architecture and history associated with it. We also rented the pontoon boat at the house and it was awesome. Highly recommend!
