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!

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.

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!

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.

Nice location

Lovely view of lake inlet, close by grocery stores. Clean and nicely remodeled. Took off one star overall because there are minor repairs needed and was unable to get an Amazon package I sent to the home. Rental docs should warn that packages won’t be delivered.

The house was very nice;but there were only two televisions in the house. Not in every room like we have all grown accustomed to. And we had to kill a lot of bugs and spiders.

Fabulous weekend!

My husband and I booked this house for a 3 day weekend with our 2 boys (aged 4 and 7). It was everything we wanted-clean, spacious, great yard to play in, good fishing off the dock, and the added bonus of 2 kayaks to take out on the lake! We roasted marshmallows and hot dogs in the fire pit and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Had one entire day of rain but the covered patio allowed us to still be outside a bit. It’s on a small quiet cove off the main channel-a bit narrow and shallow water but zero boat traffic. Everything was great. We are thinking about renting it again come springtime!

Wonderful Property!!

We stayed her from WA for a wedding. The property was beautiful, home was well kept and just as advertised. Like previous reviews stated, limited necessary items available, so plan a trip to the store. Some of the items that were supplied (salt, pepper, cooking oil) were all empty, which was disheartening. The outside trash also didn’t make its way to the street before our arrival, so we were stuck trying to find a place to put our garbage before we left. We donated our pack n play, hoping another family can get use of it! Overall, we would definitely go back, and recommend this VRBO to friends for future stays. Beautiful property!

Family Vacation

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Wood Duck Retreat. This is a pretty, updated older home with a great sloping back yard to the dock. Very nice kitchen appliances and washer/dryer. Our main disappointment was that the listing showed three queens (one with bunk above) and one king....but two of the upstairs rooms had double beds, not queens. This made for uncomfortable sleeping. When I messaged Mark regarding this, he did not respond to my message at all but the listing was changed right away to reflect double beds. I would've appreciated some response regarding this. We took our own pontoon and jetski and enjoyed being able to use the private dock. Some attention is needed to the house, such as a vent/fan needed in upstairs bathroom and more towel hooks to hang towels in upstairs bathroom. The back sliding door areas need to be cleaned - the tracks are really dirty.
