A short distance from water skiing, boat tours, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. 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 short work of the 7-minute drive to Memory Lane Museum.

After you return, you can unwind by the seasonal outdoor pool or sip a drink in the outdoor entertainment area; you may also like the picnic area and firepit. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi.

This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental features a living room, a BBQ grill, luggage storage, and air conditioning. Feel free to prepare a home-cooked meal with the stovetop and freezer, as well as the coffee maker, ice maker, and toaster. And there's access to laundry facilities, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
