The listing advertised 5 bedrooms but when we arrived, there were only 4 bedrooms. This was a big deal since the guests included couples and families that required their own space. One of the king beds was a poster bed with 3 of the 4 posts broken and falling off which could have been deadly to the toddler staying in the room. The owner and property manager sent a handy man to remove them but didn't think it was a safety issue or a big deal even though the handy man agreed it was very unsafe. There was also some issues with the cleaning that was done prior to our arrival e.g. dog poop on the deck, garbage under beds and furniture, etc. After all this, the owner did not respond to my request to a partial credit to compensate us.

The communication with the owner was great. Check-in process was simple. We communicated with someone different on the boat rental; however, it worked out great and we had a wonderful day on the lake. The boat was also not docked at the house the entire week. It was there for about 24 hours (for our rental date), which allowed us to swim off the dock. On the surface level, the house was very clean. The reason I took 1 star off is because the house did need a deep clean. For instance, with kids, we lost things under the beds. It was very dusty/dirty under them. The kitchen also needs a good clean, such as the silverware drawer, pot holders, and cabinets/items that get used frequently. Because the couch is light colored it also needed cleaned. It had dirt spots and water marks from previous renters. I understand most hired cleaners only do a surface clean. The location was great. Close to lots of places to eat/shop. Traffic could be a pain at times, but that’s no fault of the owner. The community where the house was was very quiet. We rarely heard or saw any neighbors. The deck/patio was great. The yard is not entirely fenced however. There is an opening to go up the stairs to the garage. There should be a gate there to consider it fully fenced, as kids and dogs could escape up the steps. Our biggest complaint was the house is only 4 bedrooms, not 5 as listed. The downstairs has 1 bedroom with a king bed and trundle. Overall, we had a great stay. Very kind owners!

We spent 4 nights at this property with our family of 10 (7 adults, 3 kids) for our annual vacation. Loved the house and the provided amenities - clean, roomy, and comfortable. The owners were very responsive and helpful prior to and during our stay. For water access the property is perfect, located on a quiet inlet. The inlet allowed our family to safely and comfortably swim in the lake and use the provided kayaks/paddleboards, but wasn't far from the open water for boating. For younger kids there's a nearby playground/splash pad called Hope Park that was a great amenity too. We would definitely book another stay here for a future trip to Lake Norman! One minor complaint is that the property listing at the time of booking showed 5 bedrooms, but due to recent interior renovations, it's actually only 4 bedrooms. The house still sleeps 16, but if more than 8 adults/4 couples are traveling in your group, some will need to share bedrooms or sleep on couches in the living room if they want their own space.

Our family had a great vacation. The house was extremely clean and accommodating. The included kayaks and paddle boards were perfect for this area of the lake. The property manager was very responsive throughout. We would definitely recommend this rental.

Definitely a beautiful, spacious place to stay on Norman to unwind with the family. Loved how private it felt.

This property is fantastic! The house is clean, tastefully furnished, and easily accommodated 8 adults. The outdoor area is particularly remarkable, providing ample spaces for relaxation and socializing. Our favorite spots included the deck off the living room, the very large and comfortable swing, and the cozy fire pit area by the water. The string lights around the backyard are a great touch as well. The fenced backyard is perfect for guests with dogs. We also loved the game room in the garage where we spent a couple rainy days. Additionally, the master bedroom and bath were beautiful and comfortable. We found the location to be very convenient being near grocery stores and restaurants. We rented a pontoon boat from the owners a couple days and it was great and easy to use.

Perfect Bedroom space to accommodate 5 adults and 3 children and Thanksgiving and meal prep space with one full and one smaller kitchen with 2nd oven. Game room fun for children, fire pit to enjoy and multiple tvs for Thanksgiving football of course.

Overall the house was lovely but the hot tub was not pristine like the house. My grandson now has hot tub rash
