A short distance from cycling, hiking and biking trails, and more, this smoke-free 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 covered onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 6-minute drive to Memory Lane Museum.

After you return, you can unwind in the private hot tub or sip a drink by the outdoor fireplace. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

A BBQ grill and a ceiling fan are featured at this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom rental. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker and a toaster. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll have a washer and dryer, too.
