About this property

Camm's Lakeside Retreat (Close to Charlotte), Family-Friendly, Boat Available

Please read the full listing prior to booking.

Welcome to Camm's Lakeside Retreat, the perfect getaway for sharing with friends and family! Our spacious home boasts over 3100 sq ft with an open floor plan designed for entertaining. With 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, including one full bathroom located outside under the covered deck, you'll have plenty of room to relax and enjoy.

We know you'll love this property – many of our guests return year after year, booking well in advance.

Unique Lakeside Experience: Nestled just a stone's throw from the vast shoreline, our property offers an unparalleled closeness to the water that you simply can't find anymore. Imagine sipping your morning coffee, tea, or favorite beverage under the cozy covered porch, or strolling down the pier to relax in the comfortable chairs under the gazebo, right over the water. And don't worry about a little rain – we've got you "covered"!

Stunning Views and Spacious Grounds: Our property spans over an acre, boasting an incredible 240-degree view of Lake Wylie. With approximately 300 linear feet of shoreline, you'll find a long pier with a gazebo and swim platform. The lot near the water is impressively flat, ensuring easy mobility and privacy, thanks to the wooden fence dividing neighbors on each side.

Perfect for Boating Enthusiasts: Expecting visitors by boat? Our swim platform is designed to accommodate multiple boats, and the calm waters make waiting at the dock a pleasure.

Family and Pet-Friendly: Young children and dogs will love spending their days on the private beach. For the adventure seekers, we offer kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes, perfect for paddling to the local favorite, "bird island."

Private Accommodations: The Master Bedroom Suite is a private getaway in itself, spanning approximately 900 sq feet. It features a king bed, sitting area, queen pull-out bed with a comfortable latex mattress, double vanity, double shower, and double sliding glass doors leading to a large private balcony with breathtaking views.

Comfort and Convenience: All bedrooms, except one, offer waterfront views and private en-suite bathrooms. Additionally, a fourth full bath is conveniently located outside, adjacent to the covered porch.

Sunrise and Sunset Views: Catch both the sunrise and sunset from this beautiful location, if you're lucky!

Peaceful and Friendly Community: The area is known for its peaceful, friendly, and quiet community, making it the perfect place to unwind and relax.

Boat Rentals Available: Interested in renting a boat? We offer tritoons (seating 14) available for rent, but please reserve in advance as they are available to other vacation homes nearby on a first-come, first-serve basis. Planning to bring your own boat? Let us know!

Guest Access:

We have two tritoon boats onsite that we may need to access at times. They are docked on the far left side of the property away from the house and our guests. If you see us, we’ll just give you a “wave”. If you want to come over to say “hi”, we welcome the interaction.

Early check-in requests can only be considered within two days of your scheduled arrival date, as it depends on whether we have guests checking out that same day. If guaranteed early access is important, we recommend booking the night before to ensure availability.

Beautiful place

We had the best time here. It’s well stocked (towels, bathroom products, beach toys, etc.), very clean, and I think better than the pictures listed. The water in the lake is very warm and there are lots of paddle boards & kayaks to use. About an 8 minute drive to a Belmont which has the cutest shopping and restaurants. I wish we could stay here every single year.

Family Getaway

Our family wanted a long weekend stay on the lake, and we came across this property, which was perfect for us. We had 5 adults and 2 younger kids stay at the house, which was great for each age. The kids loved the sandy beach area, along with being able to fish off the pier. The adults loved the view from the back decks, kayaks available and fishing. We even rented the boat off the property managers, which was seamless and well worth it. Got to experience the lake that way as well. Our family is already looking into booking next year.

Great Place for a Girls’ Reunion

Nine friends from waaaay back gathered at Camm’s Retreat with R&R and “catching up” as the main events of the week! Plenty of bedrooms and an amazingly stocked kitchen were all ready for our arrival! We enjoyed the large gathering area on the porch, and a dining table to fit us all! A very special spot, we spent lots of time on the over-the-water gazebo throughout our stay for sharing morning coffee and at wine-time!

Beautiful & Convenient!

This is a true gem! We can't say enough good things about the lot, location, and friendliness of the owners. The beach was perfect for afternoons with our small kids, and the swim dock perfect for evenings after they were in bed, to enjoy the nearly 180 degree views of the lake. The house is quirky, but thoughtfully stocked -- the best of any rental we've stayed in. We loved how easy it was to get to Belmont and all the other small towns nearby, not to mention Charlotte. We can't wait to come back and see what it's like in each season!

Perfect house.....fantastic views!

Our family met here from Florida and North Carolina over Super Bowl 50 weekend. We chose the perfect house. The views of the lake are amazing from just about every room. The master bedroom is unbelievable....its like being at a spa. The home is very well appointed and was very clean. we would highly recommend. We are planning on coming back again very soon but during summer next time.

Best family reunion ever.

The house was amazing ,plenty of room for the whole family . We had a family reunion, some from N.Y., some from Wisconsin , and the rest from Florida. The views were the best, the lake at sunrise was breath taking. This place had everything you need for a great time. Thanks to Adam for always being just a text away, even during a small power outage . Charlie was more then helpful when my kids decided to rent the pontoon boat. My son had never driven a boat so Charlie took him out and showed him the ropes. To say it again this place is amazing. Thank you all for making this reunion a great one.

Lake Love

I vacationed with my husband, daughter, son in law and my grandsons (7,6 & 4). The boys were in heaven. The learned to paddle the kayaks and loved jumping off the dock. Once the kids were in bed it was time for Nana & Pop pop to relax on the back deck listening to music and watching the lake for jumping fish. Our dog Wilbur loved walking the large property and hanging with us under the shade of the gazebo Nature did not cooperate the entire time a fallen tree caused a power outage which Adam contacted us about immediately. All in all our time here was amazing

Perfect place for a family gathering

I can’t say enough about this great property. When you have a home like this, so well taken care of and with so many outdoor options, it’s hard to beat. Not only is the inside of the home great for a group, but the outside also. The kitchen family room and dining room is a great place for everyone to sit talk, play cards enjoy great food and chill. The surrounding covered deck Is huge but can easily keep everyone happy even if it rains. Between the gas grill, the large eating table and lots of seating it’s the perfect setting looking out at the lake. My grandchildren loved the hammock (So did we), The fire pit with the Adirondack chairs gave us many laughs and memories around the fire that we will not soon forget. The beach area was perfect for our grandchildren and well supplied with buckets, toys kayaks paddle boards and rowboat. The beautiful gazebo dock was perfect for morning coffee, Also, the almost water level dock was perfect to throw in a fishing line whenever you wanted. We did rent a boat for the weekend and it was well worth it. Brought to you right at the dock and you just leave it when you’re done. No hassle at all and was so much fun to enjoy beautiful lake Wylie. The master bedroom was spectacular and like you were separated from everyone! The 4.5 bathrooms Couldn’t have been any nicer. Immaculate, , well supplied with all kinds of things, including outdoor lawn games and a full laundry room. Don’t hesitate....Just go and enjoy this beautiful piece of real estate in a gorgeous neighborhood!! Thank you also to Adam. We really appreciated your help..

A cozy respite

We loved our stay in this home because of the old “traditional lake house style” and comfort if the home. We came to the lake to take a few days while grieving the loss of our mother. The peace that we found from the wonderful water views and was what we hoped to find and we did. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets reminded of God’s ever present love. The bathrooms were all nice. The master suite on 2nd level was simply perfect for us. The soaking tub with the wide open view of the lake, and the glass shower positioned with the same view were the best feature of the interior of the house. The clearly recent remodel of the suite with the 2nd level view made it our favorite spot in the house. The only thing that would keep me from booking this house again was the sectional sofa in the living area. It was super comfortable as long as you were in the right spot. The side pieces wouldn’t stay connected to the corner section so this was an issue as it would pull apart and leave open gaps between the sections. It was just my husband and myself so we were able to work around it. Also one tip to the owner, the sectional was angled so it all faced the tv and interior wall which blocked a great deal of light and the water view.) We actually, with great care not to scratch the floors, moved the sofa to the reverse spot so we could have the desired view while seated on it. The positives by far outweighed the sofa issue but I do believe the rental would be greatly enhanced by replacing it.

Dream Retreat!

Once a year my family of five adult children fly in from where ever they live at the time to spend one week together relaxing and forgetting the outside world exists. Camm's Retreat was exactly what we were looking for. The home is fantastic and the lake made it absolute perfection. The house has an excellent floor plan for a large group to come together for dinner, games, etc., and the kitchen is very well stocked. However, our favorite part of the home was the outside areas. The large back porch with ample seating allowed for many wonderful nights. The swim dock was excellent for early morning yoga. The covered gazebo at the end of the dock provided much needed shade from the hot afternoon sun. My only complaint about the home would be maybe a few more towels, but after everything else, that seems very minor. Lake Wylie, even on 4th of July weekend, was amazing. It was large, quiet, peaceful and allowed us to do almost everything we were hoping to do (couldn't rent jet skis on this lake.) We rented the pontoon boat offered by the owner of the property and between that, kayaking, tubing and finding a secluded part of the lake to anchor the boat, put on our life jackets and float for a couple of hours, we couldn't have asked for anything better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Camm's Retreat for families who enjoy a quiet, relaxing vacation. Charlotte isn't particularly the most exciting town, but if you need a little adventure, a day trip to the US National Whitewater Center is more than worth the price of admission. The management staff was excellent, responding to any needs or questions almost immediately! Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better trip and will definitely be returning.

About the host

Host profile image
We have owned our lake house since 2002. We love the lake and are pleased to know that we could help create memories for the families and friends we host.

To give our guests privacy, we are very hands off. We can be available for assistance or to take care of neighbor/noise complaints. We will do everything we can to make your stay enjoyable as we are within driving distance.

Why they chose this property

It is very difficult to compare Camm's Lakeside Retreat to other lake properties on Lake Wylie. It is even harder to describe the sense of calm you feel when you step foot towards that shoreline. You just have to see it.

What makes this property unique

Vast shoreline, lots of parking and private lot with plenty of space to roam the property.
