This was a retirement trip for my husband, and we chose this home because of its lakefront location. Unfortunately, due to the severe drought conditions at Lake Norman, we were not able to fully enjoy the lake during our stay. The water level in the cove was very low, which limited how far we could kayak, and the receding water also made fishing from the dock less enjoyable than we had anticipated. The host did let us know about the drought a few days before our arrival, although we wish we had known sooner so we could better adjust our expectations and plans. Although we were unable to enjoy the lake as much as we had hoped, we appreciated that there were still many things to see and do around Lake Norman. The house itself was very clean, comfortable, and well stocked. This house is perfect for two families to stay. It has two fully outfitted kitchens. One upstairs and one downstairs. We especially enjoyed the screened-in porch, which was a relaxing place to sit without worrying about our dogs getting out. The host also informed us before arrival that the neighbors’ dogs roam freely, so we had to keep our dogs leashed outside for safety. We did not have any direct issues with the dogs, though they frequently wandered into the yard. Overall, we appreciated the peaceful setting and the opportunity to celebrate such a special occasion.

The location is beautiful and the host is very communicative! We had all the information we needed for a fantastic stay, including some toiletries, coffee and sugar and creamer. I had forgotten my hair dryer and luckily they had one to use which was helpful. Due to the drought the water was low so we did not partake in the water activities. The kitchen is stocked with most all you will need to do basic cooking. The cabin was clean. We had a wonderful stay and plan to do this again soon!

We had an amazing time, the property was extremely clean and decorated so lovely! It was just as described and exceeded our expectations. My teenage boys had the best time fishing and kayaking in the cove and we spent our nights by the fire pit or in the large hot tub. The layout of the home lends itself so well to families, plenty of space for everyone. I would also note that I've rented many homes over the years and this was by far one of our favorites. The mattresses/beds in rentals are usually not the best but these felt just like home! Even the kids commented on how comfy their beds were :) Special thanks to the attentive hosts and allowing us to enjoy Spring Break with our boys and make the best memories!

The owners are very proactive about communication and follow-up. Prompt attention was paid to a small hot tub issue. The cabin is very clean. The kitchen is very well equipped. The location is a bit remote, but we found excellent restaurants at Waterside, Toucan's, and the Publix grocery store is only 10 minutes away. The beds are awesome, linens and towels are in great shape.
