You'll find a kayak on site at this family-friendly cottage. Lake Norman is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make the 13-minute drive to George Pappas' Victory Lanes.

After you return, you can unwind by the outdoor pool or sip a drink on the balcony; 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.

A living room, air conditioning, and a ceiling fan are featured at this 7-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom rental. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have a washer/dryer.
