Our stay at this location was perfect. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards every morning. The screened in porch was our favorite place to spend the evenings after dinner playing board games with our family. We also enjoyed roasting marshmallows by the campfire. We would definitely come back!!

We spent 3 months here escaping the frozen Downeast Maine winter. It was just 2 of us plus our dog who loved to sit on the screened in porch and watch the wildlife. The gas fireplace was very cozy. The place had all the amenities we needed - heat, well-appointed kitchen, lots of sheets and towels, and good showers. It was near many restaurants and any store you could ask for in Mooresville. 45 minutes to the Charlotte airport and downtown Charlotte - we went to a performance at the Belk Theater (avoid the attached parking garage if you can, took a long time to exit) and the Mint Museum. Lots to do in the area. Rick, the host, was easily reachable and responsive to any questions or requests we had. This cottage is definitely a find.

We had an amazing time. My mother-in-law (82) came with us and had a fun time with easy access to the beach area and dock. My husband and I had fun with all the lake toys and fishing. My puppy had fun seeing the deer while taking walks. We will stay again when we visit the area.

The location, beach and dock is amazing! Unfortunately the cottage was tidy but alot of cobwebs, dirty windows and a very strong musty/mildew smell. The furniture could be updated also. We spent alot of our time enjoying outside on the beach and by the fire pit.

Rick provided a wonderful place to stay for 3 months in the winter. He was very accommodating and easily reached. The kitchen had everything we needed. Being on the lake in a quiet neighborhood was very relaxing, but near to many restaurants and stores. Definitely would recommend this place.

We had a great time everything was like it said online I loved the heat in the bathrooms mainly the one upstairs after a good shower the lake is just beautiful didn’t have any problems except the Kuerig coffee maker didn’t work didn’t find that out till we already bought coffee and tried to make it but luckily they had another coffee maker we could use! Overall great property and stay!

We really enjoyed the home and location. The property is outstanding. I recommend bringing your own pillows and even a crockpot & storage containers for refrigeration. Bring your own life jackets too! Otherwise, wonderful! There is two adult kayaks (one tandem), two childrens and two paddle boards. Beach is so nice! Loved our stay.

Pictures do not do it justice. This 3 bedroom cottage / house was the perfect location on Lake Norman for our end of summer family vacation. The view is stunning. Quiet woody neighborhood. We rented a boat for the week which was super easy and with the kayaks and paddle boards we spent most of the time on the Lake. The cove was excellent for swimming as well. Hopefully we will be back soon!

I highly recommend this lake house. We had a wonderful time. We brought our boat and loved having access to the paddle boards and kayaks! The screened in porch was a def plus as you don’t have to fight bugs if you want to enjoy dinner outside. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need, and the location on the lake is amazing! We will def be back! Thanks Rick for allowing us to stay at your house!!

Nice house wonderful cove
We stay in this cove every year but this is the first time staying in this house. The yard, dock and cove are wonderful for a family with plenty of room to spread out and lots of options for activities. The house is nice with a large kitchen, laundry room, dining area, bedroom and bath on the first floor. The bathroom is right off the living area and very small, at first we thought it was a closet because of the placement. The screened porch is where we spent most of our time when we were not on the water. The upstairs has two large bedrooms and a much larger bath. The main bedroom has a good view of the lake. Both bathrooms are shared in common areas, there is no “en-suite bath” if that matters to you. One thing of note…the driveway is bordered by trees and because of the contour of the road, it is a little tight to get a big truck and trailer into the driveway.
Our only complaint this trip was the neighbors in the next house over…they were loud, rude, and dumped fish guts and all sorts of food in the water on the side of their dock closest to us so we had food and waste on the beach every morning that was really gross.
Overall this is a great vacation spot and house. We would rent it again.
