This has been our family’s 4th stay. We love it on Lake Norman and this location and home is great for us!

The property was absolutely perfect for us. Our son moved to Charlotte 2 years ago and we have always stayed in the city. This time we decided to stay in Lake Norman and were so happy that we did. Our son came to visit us ( our other two children went with us) and it was like a vacation for him too. The cottage was lovely. Honestly it had everything we could have asked for. The area was so peaceful and quiet. We played cards on the screened in deck. The location was convenient to get groceries, etc. I hope to stay here again sometime!!

What a beautiful little getaway for our adult family of four! We spent the days after Christmas enjoying this cottage, cozy by the fire. We were welcomed with a sweet little Christmas tree and some snacks on the table... such a nice touch. The cottage has everything you will need to stay in and cook but is also convenient to downtown Mooresville and some delicious restaurant options. We spent one afternoon having a family field day in the beautiful yard, playing yard games and warming up by the bonfire between. We also enjoyed board games inside in the evening after grilling steaks on the grill. My favorite was watching the sunset on the end of the dock, bundled up in the Adirondack. Thank you for sharing your perfect little cottage. We really felt like we got away from the hustle of the holidays!

If you are searching for a relaxing, clean and a lake view cottage, this is it! We loved our stay and we will definitely be back to make more amazing memories. We thank you for sharing your cozy home with us and welcoming us with a sweet message, treats and christmas tree :) Being able to see deer in the front yard as soon we parked at the property was amazing!!!! Thank you once again!

My wife and I had a wonderful 4 night stay at the Bally K Cottage in late October. Pictures are a poor substitute for the scenes you will enjoy here. The house may appear small compared to the neighbors, but as you walk through the door it transforms before your eyes! The vaulted ceiling immediately lends copious space to this delightfully decorated, cozy dwelling. We loved the modern kitchen and the bathroom accent lighting adds so much to the rain-shower experience. Every room has a smartTV which is a nice touch since streaming applications are more and more commonplace. And if pictures dont do justice to the view of the lake through the giant window panes lining the front of the house, then my words will fall even shorter. The screened in porch is a perfect spot to watch the sun rise with your morning coffee before grabbing a life jacket and exploring the lake on the included kayaks. When it comes to sunsets, its hard to beat the view from the gazebo on the dock. I spent each night enjoying the serene stillness of the lake, broken up only by the occasional freindly boater passing by, with a cigar in hand as the sun disappeared. We couldnt have asked for anything more. My only hesitation for writing this review is that I dont want too many people to discover this hidden gem, because I want it to be available for me to rent the next time we can travel to Lake Norman!

I booked this place on a whim thinking it looked solid, in the area I was looking for. Solid couldn’t have been more of a understatement. This place is excellent. Private, clean, top tier facilities, activities, relaxed. The dock is an awesome place to hang out. The house seems freshly renovated. I’m a general contractor myself and couldn’t even find a small detail to nitpick. The shower/bathroom is awesome - featuring a handheld, standard head, or a rainfall with great lighting & water pressure. I’ve stayed in 5 star hotels with inferior bathrooms to this one. We were blown away. Screen porch to relax on. Great kitchen for cooking. The flooring is great and clean. The layout of the entire property is suited to spending time with your group. There are kayak’s and paddle boards on site with life jackets. We took a trip about a mile through the cove to a small island to explore. The house is located in a portion of the lake that really doesn’t have a ton of boat activity, which was great. The hosts couldn’t have been better. We didn’t even need to have any communication but they were available if needed. Easy check in, easy check out. We were greeted with cupcakes for our group. I’ve done my fair share of traveling, stayed in plenty of places. This place is 5 star across the board. My entire group agreed. If I find myself in North Carolina again, I’ll certainly be trying to book this place. This place was a steal for the price, frankly.

Thank you so much! My two sisters an I get together once a year. We decided this place was the BEST and hope to come back next year. Everything was as described and even better. We appreciated all the attention to detail that really made your home feel like our home.

This was our third summer at Bally K and we have made some wonderful memories. No worries as it’s meticulously clean, well-equipped and quite comfortable. Plenty of places to gather; my fav is the gazebo on the dock, hubby loves the screened in porch & our grandson just learned to jump in the water off the dock. Feels peaceful but you’re just minutes away from everything. BTW- turns out we stink at Escape Rooms. Thanks to all the O’Hares for their warm welcome and really going the extra mile for us! We appreciate it!

The place was lovely; simple and calm; the view spectacular; the thoughtfulness of the hosts to provide treats and flowers and the ease of not having to deal with bedding and towels made the stay so easy. Having the water toys (kayaks, paddle boards, large float, big ball) available made it extra fun! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Perfect cottage to just unwind and relax at. The Host!!!!!!! These folks know what being a host is all about and they strive to be the perfect host. They take of their property and go to extremes to welcome you so you can enjoy your time. Everything you need is there from kitchen appliances, to the paper towels. All of us were impressed and thankful for their extra effort for us to enjoy. WE DID enjoy our stay.

Everything was immaculate. We couldn’t have been happier. Highly recommend for couple or small family.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage! The property was wonderful and the hosts were super friendly and responsive throughout our stay. Perfect little getaway for 4 people and we would highly recommend.

The house was just as advertised. The hosts were very quick with a response to any questions or concerns. Our kids loved the easy access to the lake to swim kayak and paddle board. Our family can't say enough about the Bally K House. We will definitely return!

Completely satisfied! House super cozy and very clean. Home as everything you need and more. Just bring your family and clothes. Awesome views! I rented lake toys for kids. You can even rent a boat if you want. Awesome recommendations at local restaurants and shops. Smart tv and cable was huge! Thank you ! We will be back

Bally K was a little slice of heaven! The cottage was so clean & comfortable. The property was gorgeous and so peaceful. I cannot say enough great things about this place! The owners were super friendly! I would definitely recommend this place and we hope to be back again sometime.

My wife and I enjoy the quiet and relaxing atmosphere. It’s convenient to any type store or restaurant. The owners make you feel very welcome.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at your cottage. You have a great set up and location. Enjoyed all the amenities and really appreciate all the extras you left for us. We have spent a vacation in Ireland so loved all the little nods to the Emerald Isle. Especially the sheep! This was our first time in the area and on Lake Norman. Thanks for a great first impression! We rented a boat for the week and they delivered it right to the dock. Beautiful Lake too!

From the moment we arrived, we were taken by the stunning beauty of the surroundings. The lake view was simply breathtaking and very tranquil. The house itself was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. Every detail had been carefully considered, ensuring a comfortable and memorable stay. The amenities provided were top-notch, from the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy bedrooms and plush lounging area. The covered screen porch was another wonderful added bonus. One of the many highlights of our stay was the private dock. It was the perfect spot to soak up the sun, enjoy a morning coffee, or simply admire the picturesque lake scenery. The use of the kayaks added an extra element of fun and adventure. The hosts pay great attention to every detail and went above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. Their recommendations for local attractions and dining options were spot-on and greatly enhanced the overall experience. For a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway, we highly recommend Bally K Cottage. Our family left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning our next visit.

Adorable cottage, cute decor, very well stocked, beautiful setting! I asked Tim if they by chance had a portacrib and high chair. He said he’d see what he could do. I think he actually went out and bought brand new! How accommodating is that?! Also, we were welcomed with flowers, fruit and chocolates. Attention to every detail was so appreciated and we had a wonderful stay! Thank you Bally K!

Loved this place and would definitely return. Inside is nice, yard is great and loved the deck and screened in porch. Nice location, easy drive into Mooresville.

We had a great time at this property on Lake Norman. It was the perfect lake house for our family of 5 and taking our boat out on the water. We would absolutely book here again in the future :)

The Bally K is a fantastic little cottage on Lake Norman! Fully equipped inside and out with a gorgeous view! Tim the owner is quick to respond with any questions or needs! Don’t think twice about this one!

My family visited Bally K the week after Christmas and could not have asked for a more cozy place to stay for the New Year’s holiday. Aside from the beautiful view, the house was clean, well stocked with all the kitchen, laundry and bathroom essentials and decorated beautifully. It felt like a home away from home. We will 100% recommend to friends and family and will book again!

Location and setting can't be beat.The property has all of the amenities. The hosts make the entry and exit easy and enjoyable. Love the kayaks and the access to the water. Our grandkids had the best time visiting us. We will return.

5 stars. Perfect house on the lake. Definitely would booked again.

The cottage was clean, comfortable and in a perfect location on the lake. The hosts were exceptional, leaving fresh flowers, fruit and other treats. We definitely want to return.

Thanks again for a wonderful time at the Bally K Cottage. What a great property and owners. Everything was wonderful! Fantastic lakefront location. Beautifully renovated bathroom since our last stay. Everything you need for a fun lake getaway. Thank you O’Hare family.

We just love everything about this property. It's well-maintained, comfortable, up to date. The location is near everything and yet feels secluded. We enjoyed the kayaks, SUP boards, beach & gazebo. The owner's have thought of everything & we will be back!

This is our third stay at this property and we will most certainly be back again. You can't beat the view and location!

We had a wonderful week. Others have commented that Tim and family have thought of everything, and they were right. Arriving to fresh flowers and treats was a nice surprise. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything you need including toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, dish soap and trash bags. (All items I brought but did not need). The screen porch was perfect for lunch, dinner and hanging out. The view from the house and firepit was amazing, wish we had that view every day. We enjoyed the firepit most nights and even got to watch some of the full moon rise (through some clouds). The dock was great for our boat. The cove was perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking and just floating in the water. Tim was very responsive to any questions. We hope to come back next year!

Our family had the best vacation at The Bally K Cottage! The O'Hare Family made us feel so welcome with the personalized greeting of fresh flowers, fruit, snacks and a welcome note. My family fell in love with the beautiful view from the cozy screened in porch. We were even lucky enough to see a double rainbow end in the lake. Each room was decorated with such detail from lake theme to the beautiful Irish theme. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need to prepare a family meal. The beds were comfortable and I loved the way they were made up. And I have to say we all LOVED the shower. It was perfect!! We spent most of our days hanging at the dock swimming, fishing and kayaking. The private cove was the perfect setting. We especially enjoyed hanging out at the gazebo with the sitting area. The O'Hare Family thought of every detail in their beautiful home. We would love to come back!
