You'll find a kayak on site at this pet-friendly cottage. There's convenient onsite parking, so you can leave your vehicle behind and head out to Lake Norman and Catawba River, just a short walk away.

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink on the patio; you may also like the firepit and BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

As you settle into this 6-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom rental, you'll find a fireplace, air conditioning, and a ceiling fan. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a microwave and cookware.
