Everything about the home was great! The kitchen was well equipped for cooking at home, the sunroom and patio provided great views of the lake and sunsets. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms well appointed and we loved the game area upstairs. We would definitely stay again

Thank you Sue! We love knowing the property had what you needed in the kitchen and the outdoor spaces provided you the views you hoped!
Absolutely beautiful house with everything you could need! We had a group of 9 adults, and we had plenty of room. Also, we had a very easy experience & communication with the property management team with any questions we had. Book the house - you won’t regret it!

Thank you Alissa! We love hearing everything was easy and quick for you and the house was so clean and in a great spot for your family.
This vacation was everything we had hoped it would be…and MORE! The home was beautiful, spacious and well kept. Nature was just a step away with the private dock and large backyard. We spent the week jet skiing, playing backyard games, and barbecuing. The area is very nice and close to everything. I am already planning our next stay at Channel Marker. This is a new family favorite vacation spot!

Wonderful Property, exactly (better) as shown in pictures and described. Well furnished and kitchen stocked, great supply of bath and beach towels. Deck, lawn and hot tub all fantastic.

The StayLakeNorman Team
In 2015, StayLakeNorman started with their first specialty vacation rental home with an "urban contemporary" design theme. The Lake Norman vacation rental market loved this new offering, as the approximately 200 vacation homes in the area at that time were mostly just older lake homes that owners we not using and calling them vacation homes. Most had mismatched furniture, decor, colors and no dedicated style or concise personality. Over the next few years, StayLakeNorman continued to add new homes to the market and the luxury vacation rental standard was pushed up higher again.
StayLakeNorman was born and a "one-stop, sexy-house shop" was in full swing with the best designers and contractors in place to offer what luxury vacation guests wanted and demanded based on market feedback. We implemented management processes from the best and largest companies in the USA and continue to fine-tune the operation. Much was learned and many mistakes made.
Switch forward to today, StayLakeNorman has in their control the strongest performing vacation rental homes on Lake Norman. We also have a boat rental company and concierge services to help complete what luxury guests want in their vacations. Our staff includes Reservationists, Housekeeping Managers, Maintenance folks, Quality Control teams, and third-party housekeepers, private chefs, massage therapists, etc.
If you are planning a family get together, ladies' trip or Grandad's 80th birthday surprise, we promise to supply the best luxury vacation rental homes on Lake Norman.
Come stay with us a while and you may not want to leave…and if you don't, then we can sell you a lake home through our real estate brokerage.
