About this house rental
The Badger Lake House is a one of a kind waterfront property with a private, salt water pool on Lake Norman. The large screened in boat house by the floating boat dock is perfect for hanging out right on the lake and the covered pool house with ceiling fan, outdoor sectional, grill and full fridge makes you never want to leave the pool deck. Bring your own boat or easily rent one from the many marinas near by.
This 7 bedroom home sleeps 18 and has plenty of room for the whole family! The master suite on the main level boasts a steam shower and Jacuzzi tub with french doors to a balcony overlooking the pool and lake. Upstairs you will find 4 more bedrooms with the following sleeping arrangements: 1) king bed, 2) queen bed, 3) queen & twin bed 4) queen bed & day bed + trundle. The walkout lower level features another large king bedroom with great lake views. A fun 7th bedroom/movie room on the lower level has an additional 3 twin beds, perfect for the kids.
Cooking for a large group will not be a problem with two full kitchens. The main kitchen has new stainless steel appliances, double oven and a 10 foot granite island for gathering. Off the main kitchen is a large screened in porch spanning the whole length of the home for everyone to enjoy lake living at its finest. The walkout basement has another full kitchen and large living space. Including the pool house fridge, there are 3 full size refrigerators and a wine cooler on the property!
Sheets and bath towels provided. Please bring your own pool towels. Beach/pool towels NOT provided.
Pool is heated April, May, September & October. We typically do not run the heater during rentals outside of those dates due to much cooler outdoor temperatures during the winter.

Nice property on Lake Norman with pool and dock.
10.0 / 10.0
The house is beautiful with everything you need. There were 15 of us ranging from 82 to 2 years old. The outdoor space was the best we’ve seen from a huge pool with slide and diving board and plenty of spaces to be out of the sun but still poolside. The screened in porches were plentiful and were great for dinners and late night card playing.

This is the third year that we’ve used this property. Very comfortable and perfect for our children and grandchildren! The pool house and outdoor shower and toilet make it very convenient to be outside all day! We’ve made a lot of great memories here! Thanks!!

GREAT HOUSE!!! We had an amazing time! A wonderful week! The house was absolutely perfect! What a gorgeous property! The outside is beautifully landscaped and the interior is beautifully decorated. We loved all the space. We had 15 people in our party and there was plenty of room. We loved the comfortable couches for lounging and the dinning room table for games each night! The 2 kitchens were amazing and well stocked! We cooked in breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had everything we needed! We enjoyed the outdoor bar seating at the railing, a really nice place to eat! The pool was a favorite of all! It was clean and a great size! We loved it! We spent 8 hrs in the pool each day! We loved the pool house! I mean talk about convenience, we stocked the refrigerator with everything we needed. The lake was lovely, so warm and easy to get into from the beautifully carpeted dock! We also fished daily from the dock and caught some big catfish. Everything was thought of in this house and we will definitely rent again! Emily was lovely to work with!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us!

We loved the Badger Lake House! It is a perfect spot to bring families with every convenience available! We had our kids and grandkids with us and between the beautiful pool with slide and diving board and the pool house and dock, everyone had a great time! The pool house was great to give the kids a break from the sun. This was by far the cleanest rental we have ever had! Kudos to our premier host, Emily!!

What a wonderful home this is! Absolutely perfect. We celebrated our mother’s 70th birthday and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The pool was a hit, great fishing, kayaking and very relaxing! I could go on and on! It was amazing!

House, pool, neighborhood and lake are beautiful. Owner sent a comprehensive list of area attractions and amenities, as well as detailed checkout instructions. Both were appreciated. House is very clean and well-kept. Multiple sitting areas for people to find a little alone time for reading. Communication with owner was excellent. A windstorm knocked over a piece of pool furniture causing it to break (always get the damage insurance!) and Emily couldn’t have been more understanding and polite. One of the best, if not THE best VRBO, we’ve booked. we would definitely stay here again.

Emily was an incredible host . Responded to our questions within minutes. The power went out and before we knew it there were several flashlights delivered! That’s what we call 5 star service! The house is fully equipped with the essentials needed for your stay . We all enjoyed the huge swimming pool and poolside cabana that included a TV. The grandkids enjoyed fishing, kayaking and tubing on the water . It was a wonderful family week .

We had a wonderful time at The Badger house. There were things that concerned us, but we’re dealt with right away. Emily could not have been nicer!!
10.0 / 10.0
Very clean, check in was really easy, all the amenities were available and organized, little things like having spices in the kitchen, some toiletries and showering items, Roku TVs were a hit, pool was super nice and warm! Only feedback is the top railing looks like it could be tightened (is a little wobbly), add pool lights, and maybe more / better / organized fishing gear.

This was our second time renting this property. Every time we use things a little differently as the grandkids get older. The pool, pool house and boat house are a main focus! Planning on renting again! Thanks again!

This house was perfect for a wonderful family lake week! 8 adults and 6 children all 5 and under enjoyed every minute with plenty of room to spread out inside and out! The pool is very large and the diving board and slide were such a hit! The outdoor grills were very clean! Everything we needed was provided for in the kitchen! Beds were very comfortable and the dock was a great place for the grandchildren to fish. Add a pontoon boat and the week was complete. Emily could not have been more professional and quick to reply to all questions! We would highly recommend this house to anyone!

Emily thank you for having us and making our lake Norman vacation memorable. Your home is beautiful and the pool was beautiful.
When we had to reach out to Emily regarding a storm that came through, she was responsive and prompt with solutions.
The house was clean and enough space for our large family. We never felt on top of each other.

The property was very large, much larger than it looks. It was very clean upon check in. There is an abundance of porches and outside spaces. The pool was heated, warm, and cleaners came twice during the week. Interacting with the owners was seem less, they responded very quickly to questions.

We had a great time in Lake Norman! We loved the beautiful house especially the pool! We’ve had a hard time finding rentals with big pools and this one was amazing!!! We rented a boat and went out on the lake everyday. We would definitely rent this house again!

So I have to state that I am a beach and ocean lover. We’ve done the beach from NJ to NC. But my husband grew up on the Delaware River with motor boats and water skis. Our grandkids were suddenly old enough to try water sports (8-13) so we decided to try Lake Norman. The house was great for the 10 of us plus my sister and brother in law and her daughter and husband. Added up to 14! Since it was our first visit to Lake Norman, we had no idea of the size and location of the house. It worked out well for skiing, knee-boarding and tubing. Hardly any other boats around. The kids enjoyed the kayaks and fishing off the dock. The adults and kids loved the pool and the pool house was a great place to sit with a good book. Being one of the major cooks for the week along with my daughter and daughter-in-law, we loved that the kitchen was so well equipped! Best house yet. My husband showed he can still ski though the trick skis from his teenage years was a bridge too far. My son proved he could still slalom. Yes, it was a great week.

Loved this house! Room for all 17 of us and easily the most well stocked house we have ever stayed in. Kids loved the pool and fishing off the dock. Will definitely come back to Lake Norman!!!!

Outstanding place for our family vacation!
Our family of 12, including 4 grandchildren ages 19 months to 7 years just spent a wonderful week at Badger Lake House. Everything was immaculately clean and there was plenty of space for the entire family. Our favorite spots were the spacious pool and pool house as well as the delightful screened porch off the kitchen area. Emily was very attentive with any questions and always responded quickly. Our family had so much fun we are planning on coming back in 2024 for another fabulous week! Thank you, Emily, for sharing your beautiful home.

Lovely Home / Wonderful Location
Emily was so easy to work with and responded to my questions right away. The house is beautiful and was spotless! The location on the lake could not have been better. It sits in a quiet cove with great neighbors. The pool house and dock house were so nice for my parents to be able to enjoy their grandchildren and great grandchildren without sitting in the sun all day. The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need. Highly recommend!

Lake with friends
The outdoor areas make this property! We absolutely loved the pool, fire pit, and boat dock. Kids played games in the lawn when not in the pool. Plenty of room for 8 kids and 8 adults. Could use a few extra towels for big groups, but overall great experience.

Absolutely wonderful!
We had a great stay at this sublimely beautiful property. This is the ideal vacation home for a group or family reunion.
It is difficult to choose one favorite thing about this experience. From the 5 outdoor spaces, to the large heated pool, to the lake views, to the lovely, tastefully appointed home with super comfortable beds, this property delivers on every level.
The hosts are very attentive providing quick communication and thoughtful touches. The delicious welcome basket of chips and salsa, donuts and chocolates were enjoyed and appreciated.
We give this home our highest recommendation.

Family gathering
Lovely home on a small inlet of Lake Norman. Our family from different states gathered for our mother’s memorial service in a nearby church. It was a special week for the family gathering to celebrate the beautiful life of our mother. The home is well stocked and offers many amenities for seniors through infants. Having spent summers at a family home at Lake Norman in the 60’s, it brought back nostalgic memories of our childhood together.
The only recommendation is that there needs to be a warning about the first floor stairs. Several older individuals fell coming downstairs from the 2nd floor on the bottom step. Fortunately,
there were no broken bones. Other than that concern, it was a wonderful home on the lake.

Wonderful lake home!
We had 7 adults and 3 children that enjoyed a week long family vacation at the Badger Lake house. The home was sparkling clean, well stocked and super comfortable. We loved hanging out at the pool and rented a boat so took advantage of the dock as well. The kayaks were a welcome form of exercise! Highly recommend a stay.

Pool House!
This is a beautiful home that was perfect for our family. The large pool was our favorite place to hang out, and the pool house was so nice. The home was the perfect in the evening with lots of space to gather for games and watching the Olympics together. We only have good memories to take with us after this vacation. Many thanks to the hosts for sharing this home!

Perfect lake experience
We do a family vacation every other year. Four families and the lake experience is wonderful for all ages. We fished from the dock and the kids were constantly on the lake boating and jet skiing. This house was perfect for our needs… the extra refrigerators are a big plus. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. We cooked all our meals. The pool is large and the kids loved it. I give this house an A+ rating !!
