Close to water skiing, boat tours, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. 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 2-minute drive to Catawba River.

Relax in the outdoor entertainment area (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) or sip a drink in the garden of this vacation home. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the digital TV (streaming services available).

This 3-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom rental features a living room, a BBQ grill, luggage storage, and a desk. Bathroom amenities include free toiletries, towels, and toilet paper. Feel free to prepare a home-cooked meal with the stovetop and freezer, as well as the ice maker, toaster, and blender. And you can even travel light because you'll have access to laundry facilities.
