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 short work of the 5-minute drive to Memory Lane Museum.

Relax on the patio or sip a drink by the firepit of this cottage. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at foosball and table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and pool table.

A living room, a BBQ grill, air conditioning, and a ceiling fan are featured at this 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom rental. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washer/dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
