We chose Lake Norman as a central location for relatives gathering from SC, GA, & MD. This property was perfect! The neighborhood and neighbors were great, there were stores close by, and the lake was beautiful. The home was clean and well-stocked. We had a wonderful time and the owner was wonderful. The only differences were that it really sleeps 10, not 12 (the one room is 2 twins and there is no futon), and the lower level gas fireplace is not hooked up. The shower heads need replacing, but honestly not the biggest deal. Really the property was even better in person than we expected. Highly recommend!!

Our group of four adults and three children enjoyed the house so much! I have an eclectic decorating style, and I absolutely loved the "mountain theme" found throughout, from the rustic bedsteads, chairs, dressers and tables to the twig chandeliers and the large wicker moose head The lake is right out the back door, and the upper and lower porches make the most of the view. Two large living spaces on separate floors (each with a cable tv) mean groups can visit separately as well as together. There are enough china and cooking implements to serve 30-40 people, although the silverware for that number might be lacking. Beds are comfortable, even the bunk beds. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked, from condiments to paper towels, to cleaning products, etc. Here is the arrangement of the beds: two bunk beds (sleeping four) with a full bath in the downstairs/basement area. One king bed and one full bath on the main floor. One queen bed with a full bath on the upper floor, across from a bedroom with two twin beds. I had expected the twin bedroom to be by itself on one level, but that was not the case. Instead, the room with two bunk beds is by itself on the basement level. Our only quibbles would be that the showerheads need cleaning or replacing, as the spray is iffy on all three. The refrigerator could be replaced, as the freezer has broken shelves. The dishwasher also has broken racks, making it difficult to wash a very large load of plates. With log walls, the interiors are dark and could use a few more standing lamps for reading or working puzzles. Those concerns are pretty minor for a short stay, as we did manage to take showers, work puzzles and wash dishes : ) I highly recommend this home if you are looking for space and access to the lake. Shopping is located within minutes (very large grocery stores and excellent restaurants), as is I-77.

Great place to stay with family. I always wanted to stay in a log cabin style home and the fire pit and overlooking the lake was beautiful

Loved it

We visited the Lake Norman area for a family wedding. The location is great being right on the lake with a large yard. Both our three-year-old grandson and our two Labrador retrievers enjoyed the yard and the neighborhood is great for walks. Plenty of beds and separate areas to hang out when you need a break. The house could use a lighting update. We would definitely stay with Martin again!

My family from Pennsylvania and Florida met in NC to enjoy a relaxing extended weekend together. The house, the lake, and the fire pit were just what we needed. We also used the lake as a backdrop to some long overdue family photos.

Beds were comfortable, views were nice, and accommodations were better than expected. The pictures show one old TV with a very, but thankfully the house includes two flat screen TV with cable service. Highly recommend this place.

Spent one week with kids and grandkids, next week with friends. Property was just what we had hoped for, well equipped and Manager very responsive to our requests and questions.

House was beautiful and cozy.. Had any and all things you could need but may have forgotten. Close to restaurants and grocery stores. Any issue was a little bit of mold on vents in basement area and shower heads were not very good.

Great property with amazing sunsets for some R&R by the lake. House was well adapted for visitors and the pier was wonderful for Lakeside ambience. Highly recommend this location for anyone looking for some family time or time with friends.

Needs renovation. Bathrooms/Showers are a disaster. Musty smell in property.

Great stay, great area on Lake Norman The owner needs to ensure there is wood available for the fireplace.

We loved this property

The house has a great location in a quiet neighborhood on a cove. The sunset deck on the dock is great for enjoying the sun and the stars. House was comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed and there are grocery stores and shops within a few miles. Great deck on the house too with beautiful view of the lake and a table for eating outside. Loved the firepit too.

This house was beautiful. The property was right on the lake. The outdoor fire pit was very nice and the boat house with rentals was a great addition. We used most of the equipment. All the beds were very comfortable and everything was laid out nice. I enjoyed having my coffee on the front porch facing the lake. It was beautiful. Also, the kitchen had everything we needed. There were all the cleaning products and every possible utensil and pan for cooking. Much more than expected. My communication with the owner was excellent. Marty answered every question i had quickly. This was a great place that i would stay at again.

Property was fine but unfortunately the A/C went out and had to be repaired. Being located in the lower level where the majority of guests were staying, the repair company was working in that area for over 7 hours which in our opinion certainly affected (prevented) the use of that space for an entire day. This was obviously out of the owner’s control but reached out afterwards to ask what concessions he may be willing to make to help make up for the loss of that repair day. Also worth mentioning is one bedroom upstairs w/o any A/C was so hot it was completely unusable. Never heard back from him. Disappointing for an otherwise nice trip to Lake Norman.

Nice size property for our group of 12. Could definitely use a few upgrades but overall a nice property.

Wonderful property. Very easy to rent. The owner was very responsive. The floors were a bit dirty and up up underneath the beds. The ice machine did not make a lot of ice.

Had a great time all us enjoyed. Upstairs air conditioning could be a little cooler but all worked out well.

Excellent stay!!

IF YOU WANT AIR CONDITION DON'T RENT THIS PROPERTY! We stayed June 6-10, 2020. When you get to a property and they have fans sitting around it is a bad sign. It was 80 and rising when we got there on Saturday. Text the owner and he said raise the windows (It was probably 90 outside). We ended up renting 3 rooms at the Fairfield Inn that night. The HVAC man came worked on it and Tuesday it started getting hot again. When the air was working it is not enough to cool the upstairs of the property. The owner said he would give me 1 night refund and damage deposit - which I have still not received. Also, he had a paddle boat and things that he rents for which should be included. I left him a check for that thinking he shouldn't deposit it as much trouble as we had - BUT HE DID. It was a nightmare and we tried to make the best of it but honestly WE SHOULD BE REFUNDED FOR THE COMPLETE STAY! Stop patching the unit and get a new one!

Property fit our needs perfectly. Lots of space, great lot on the lake. We made use of the rentals and kayaked. Kitchen was well stocked. It all made for a wonderful trip.
