This charming and spacious waterfront home on Lake Norman is the ideal setting for family fun, relaxing weekends, and unforgettable getaways.

Inside, the split-level layout offers both upper and lower living areas, making it easy for everyone to spread out and enjoy.

The main level features an open-concept living room, dining area with seating for six, and a spacious, fully equipped kitchen that makes mealtime a breeze. There are three comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main level, including a fun bunk bed/full bed combo perfect for kids or the young at heart.

Step outside and soak in the lake views! The large upper deck is perfect for outdoor dining, with comfy seating and a gas grill for lakeside cookouts. The lower patio opens directly onto the backyard, offering even more space to relax and enjoy the water. (Please note: Guests will not have access to the detached garage.)

We had a great time staying here for the Memorial Day weekend. The house was great, the beds were very comfortable, the kids loved jumping/swimming off the dock and we enjoyed using the kayaks. The area of the lake was very calm, what little boat traffic there were was very slow as it is in a no wake zone. Highly recommend this property!

The home was good for our family and great location. My only gripes are that the deck is in rough shape and a hazard, and they only provided us with 8 towels and no back up linens whatsoever. In the description it said towels were provided but “suggested” bringing beach towels but that towels were provided. It was a towel a person for an entire week lol. Also they said there was a baby gate provided and upon looking and not finding it we called and they brought one over but it did not fit the opening it was to small we didn’t call back.

Great property!

The property is great - very nicely kept interior. Would benefit from an exterior clean (lots of cobwebs in the window screens and on/around the deck and entry, and some overgrown bushes on the stairs) and new towels (they smell like rotten).

My family and I had a great time here! We enjoyed the fure pit, the dock, and friendly cove!

This house was perfect for multiple families with kids! The fence was reassuring to keep little ones from getting to the water unsupervised! Would love to visit again!

Perfect location for our weekend

Good location, (right on the lake, how much better could that be!) great house, right number of bedrooms and good set up. The 2nd bath is just outside the master so it can be easily shared with other BRs. We had a small issue during our stay that the manager took care of quickly. Highly recommend!

Great home for a family with teens!! 2nd time same house!

Had a wonderful trip with my boyfriend, another couple and four teen boys. We all had our own space and living area. The boat dock is beautiful and perfect for fishing, which the boys did each night. We rented a boat all weekend and parked it in the slip. Overall the whole weekend was a fun time and glad we rented this same house again for our annual Lake Norman Trip.

Duck Pond Loop

This property was better than expected. the house was clean and decorated for a lake stay. We had plenty of towels and blankets but not too much. The house was close to lots of food take out places and grocery stores and yet we felt very secluded. the neighborhood was great for walking and to see views of Lake Norman. We just wish we could have stayed longer.
