Charming “Langtree Lakeside Cottage” on a quiet wide cove near Cornelius.
Langtree Cottage is our family’s happy place and we would like to share it with you! This stunning lakefront home has an excellent location on the southeastern end of Lake Norman. The closest lakefront vacation rental to Davidson and Cornelius you will find. The property provides a quiet retreat for friends and families to gather but is only 25 minutes to downtown Charlotte! We are also located adjacent to the beautiful Venue at Langtree and are a perfect place for wedding guests or your wedding party.
Situated on a peaceful street, this cottage looks out onto a beautiful wide cove. Stretching along the lakefront is a broad patio and beach. The lakefront patio is furnished with dining table and chairs as well as lounge chairs with side tables and multiple rolling umbrellas! The sandy beach area has 8 comfy Adirondack chairs surrounding a large Firepit with a copper lid which doubles as a useful table. A perfect place for an evening gathering after a day in the lake.
Off the patio is a spacious new dock with a boat slip and a large lounge area/ swimming platform. The protected cove is a perfect place for swimming and paddle boarding, but the main water is just two homes up for those venturing further out. The property also includes a sought-after boat launch ramp. A great place to launch provided kayaks or guests can bring their own boats for easy access. The dock will accommodate guest's boats or rental boats.
The interior of this cottage is all new! The home was designed for lake life, with an open plan and lots of windows that let the sunlight pour in and provide spectacular water views. The main floor has hardwood throughout and well-appointed kitchen and baths with all new appliances, fixtures, and finishes. The rooms are decorated in a cozy modern style.
Once entering the front door you will see the beautiful lake view! The main floor has a large living room and dining area open to an expansive kitchen. The cushioned banquet with large corner windows is a favorite place to dine and hang out!
A spacious, inviting main deck beckons you to relax and enjoy the gentle lake breezes, perfect for lounging with a morning coffee or unwinding in the evening.
Also on the main floor are three comfortable bedrooms and three baths. The primary King bedroom has a gorgeous lake view and an attached bath- including a freestanding tub with a lake view! A second bright queen bedroom also has an attached bath and the third double twin bedroom has a large adjacent bath with double vanities. If needed, there is a laundry room off the kitchen.
The lower floor also has wonderful views of the lake! The large Lower Lounge has comfy furniture and is open to the kitchen and Daybed room and has large windows and doors leading to a covered lower patio. The Daybed room can be closed off at night with privacy curtains for a cozy bedroom! The Lower lounge provides a great way for guests to spread out…or works as dedicated TV/play area for the kids! The covered patio is another peaceful area to sit out on the lounge chairs and enjoy the lake or watch kids playing in the yard. An enclosed shower on the patio comes in handy on those long lake days!
The lower level also has a beautiful King bedroom with a lakeview, a fun bunk room that sleeps four, an extra large double vanity bathroom, and additional laundry.
There is boat storage room with interior as well as exterior access off the back yard. We provide lots of options for fun on the lake! Three paddleboards, three kayaks (1 tandem and 2 singles), life preservers, and other lake floats and toys as well as a cornhole set for guests to enjoy.
Hammocks are also provided to set up in the trees down by the lake.
We are committed to providing a wonderful fun place for friends and family to gather while remaining respectful of our neighbors. The home is not intended to be used as a "party house" so we strictly adhere to our 8 guest max policy. We do not allow events or large gatherings.

Best rental we have EVER stayed at! House was well equipped and set up great and so comfortable. Any “nice to have” items were available for use during our stay.
Our family was in town from Massachusetts to celebrate our daughter’s wedding. The place was spacious, well equipped and very clean. Great location for all the events as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My 3 year old grandson asked me if we could please come to this nice house again sometime!
3 generations got together to celebrate a graduating senior. Wonderful layout…lots of space for everyone and a really nice deck and yard. Perfect for our weekend together.
In every way, this is a 10 out of 10 property. A perfect place for lake vacation/family celebration. Wonderful layout, spacious, yet intimate; high end design and furniture, yet unpretentious and exceedingly comfy. Outdoor space is ideal for entertaining and relaxing. Do not hesitate to secure this home if available. Hosts are gracious from very first to very last contact. Our only regret is having found this home in our daughter’s last year at Davidson College and not in her first!
We gathered at this beautiful lake house to celebrate Thanksgiving. We were three generations from 5 different locations. The house was perfect: clean, spacious, fun and comfortable. We had a wonderful time.
Adorable home on a very quiet portion on the lake. Kids had so much fun with all the outdoor equipment provided. Loved all the little touches that made this an easy, fun, and relaxing stay!
Karen has designed a peaceful sanctuary on lake Norman with all of the amenities you could wish for! This home has been thoughtfully designed and decorated, we had the best time. Thank you Karen, for sharing your oasis with us!
We had such a wonderful experience here! The house was sparkling clean and even better in person than in the gorgeous pictures! The host is so responsive and helpful! We had a hard time leaving…so many wonderful memories made!
The house was beautifully done and smelled brand new!! Was amazed at the extras that were provided and the overall feel of the house and property was very homey. We are already planning our trip back so that we can enjoy the lake and the toys provided.
We had a wonderful stay at this house with our 4 and 6 year old. Everything in the house was immaculate. We've never felt so at home in a rental as we did here. The location is great with easy access to restaurants and the other Lake Norman towns. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a lake getaway!
Comments from our group: The house was beautiful and nicely decorated, even had festive Christmas decor making it a wonderful place to spend the holiday with family. Liked the indoor and outdoor spaces. Nice grill and fire pit. The house was pristine, great views from dining table area. Nice comfortable seating place for conversation and views.
I can't say enough about Langtree Lakeside Cottage! My family and I had an amazing long weekend enjoying the lake. The house epitomizes casual elegance, and every detail has been meticulously considered for beauty, convenience, and relaxation. The quality and beauty of the house far exceed what the images display. It is gorgeous! We already tried to book this house again for Thanksgiving and were saddened but not surprised that it was not available. I highly recommend this property, and I can't wait to enjoy it again in the future!
It was our first time at Lake Norman and certainly won’t be our last! This house is in a great location very close the freeway for easy access. We rented a boat for a couple of the days were able to keep it on tied to the dock at the house. Our kids had a great time swimming in front of the house when we weren’t out on the boat. The house itself is very nicely decorated and has plenty of room for 2 families. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back soon
We were in town for a large family graduation celebration at the end of Langtree Rd. The location of the cottage couldn’t have been more perfect for us for being so close to the festivities.
The property is gorgeous. Every update the owners have made are top notch and beautiful. And the home was stocked with everything we needed.
Many of our family members said ‘Wow! I could live here!’
We’ll definitely book again!
Our family recently stayed at this newly remodeled Lake Norman home, and it exceeded our expectations. The property was impeccably clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owner was incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring our experience was top-notch. The highlight was the stunning lake view and the availability of kayaks, perfect for enjoying the beautiful surroundings. It truly was a memorable getaway, and we can't wait to return.
We absolutely loved staying at Langtree Lakeside Cottage! The house is beautiful and it’s on a nice quiet street. It has just been renovated and everything is new and beautifully furnished and decorated! The hosts thought of everything and are so easy to communicate with! All the rooms are open and bright, with lots of windows to see the gorgeous lake views. We got together with family and had a blast using all the kayaks and paddle boards. We also are big game players in our family, so we were happy to see such a great assortment of games! The dock and the huge lakeside patio were so fantastic. We had our dinners on the deck and spent the cooler evenings around the fire on the lakeside beach…can’t get any better than that! Definitely the best rental we have had and we will be back!!
From the moment we arrived we knew we found a slice of heaven. We are a group if 6 friends that travel together, fall and spring. It takes us a bit of time to find a house with all of our requirements, how many bathrooms, how far to the dock or beach? Can the guys fish? Is the kitchen big enough, is it an open floor plan home? You know, trying to get it all perfect. This house met and exceeded the description as well as all of our “must haves”The host was beyond gracious when we inquired about reservations and worked well with us to come to the perfect agreement. Now on to the warm and welcoming home. The entire house has been renovated and the owners knocked it out of the park. Think a Southern Living home but comfortable. We were greeted with just about anything you can think of that you might need or forgot. The kitchen is stocked well and the welcome snacks were perfect to nibble on as we settled in. Everybody raved about their beds and the bathrooms were the extra cherry in top, THE best smelling shampoo, conditioner and body wash were just delightful. The fire-pit on the beach was where we all gathered to unwind and to star gaze and they had wood and fire-starters!!I wish we were brave enough to kayak as there are two to use, maybe in warmer weather. I could go on and on but you just need to go ahead and BOOK THIS PLACE…you will not be sorry
Beautiful home in a convenient neighborhood. The owners were prompt and responsive to every question. Would definitely consider staying here again on a future trip to visit my family in the area.
Our time here was too short! Stayed with my husband and daughter for part of her fall break. The home was absolutely gorgeous- inviting, seamlessly appointed, well stocked with kitchen items and games, recently renovated. We especially enjoyed time on the deck and the dock! All of us took advantage of the tubes, paddle boards, and kayaks and explored the lake and cove.
Neighborhood is lovely and very quiet. The home is a very short drive to Davidson, where we visited both the town and did a college tour.
Hope to be back again!
The home was immaculate and everything seemed "fresh" and new. More than enough room for the 6 of us.
We loved the kayaks and paddleboards-we got plenty of use out of them! We loved everything about it and plan on staying there again!

About the host
Hosted by Karen Schmidt
We renovated this home to be a gathering spot for friends and family. It is situated between our home in coastal Georgia and our extended family in Ohio and Virginia. It is definitely our happy place but since we only have time to use it occasionally, we decided to share it with other families. We hope everyone enjoys Langtree Cottage as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We waited years to find a home in this neighborhood. We have a daughter living in Charlotte and finding a place with easy access to Charlotte was key. Exit 31 (Langtree Exit) is a much sought after peninsula on Lake Norman due to the fact it is quiet, without commercial congestion and yet so close to Charlotte!
Our small neighborhood is wonderful! It is adjacent to the Davidson College Lake Campus which is 100 acres of beautiful land and shoreline. It provides a peaceful, quiet background for our home. We encourage guests to explore Davidson's shoreline by paddle board or kayak for a fun adventure filled with beautiful natural views.
What makes this property unique
Our cottage was one of the first, and few remaining original homes on the lake. A view unique features were "grandfathered" in our property that are not allowed on most lots. Firstly the large, paved stone walled patio across the entire lake frontage is very rare and allows opportunity for such a wonderful outdoor living experience! Secondly, a private boat ramp is very rare and comes in handy for boat launching but also for wading in and fishing. The house itself, with its open comfy lake cottage vibe just makes it special!
