About this property

What A View! Perfect Family Meeting Place. BIG Views! Optional Boat Rental.


**Thanksgiving and Christmas require a minimum 7 night stay

Just 40 minutes from Charlotte, this renovated 2,700 square foot lakefront retreat offers the perfect mix of comfort, style, and relaxation. Set on a private point with 230 feet of shoreline, it feels like your own hidden escape while still being only five minutes from the boat launch, Publix, gas, and restaurants.

The home sits on a quiet cove with direct access to Lake Norman, giving you calm, clear waters for swimming and fishing, while the main channel is only a short ride away. With no bridges in the way, boating is easy and worry-free.

Inside, there’s plenty of room for everyone with three bedrooms, a loft, and three and a half bathrooms that comfortably sleep up to twelve guests. The master suite features a king bed, private bath, and beautiful lake views, while the queen bedroom has its own balcony overlooking the water. A third bedroom with two bunk sets (twin over full/queen) makes it perfect for kids or larger groups. The private loft and cozy game room with a pull-out couch provide even more sleeping space and hangout areas.

The house is stocked with entertainment for all ages, including Roku TVs, kayaks, bikes, basketball, ping pong, a pool table, arcade games, and a swing set for the little ones. Outside, the level yard is ideal for games like horseshoes, badminton, and bocce. Evenings are best spent gathered around the fire pit under the stars, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories.

For days on the water, you’ll love the spacious sun deck and private dock, perfect for swimming, fishing, or just soaking up the view. Guests also have the option to rent a Godfrey Pontoon with a 115HP Yamaha for $1,700 per week or $550 per day (two-day minimum), plus tax, fuel, and a refundable deposit.

This is a family-friendly retreat designed for relaxation and fun, but please note that weddings or large events are not permitted.

Whether you’re planning a quiet getaway or an adventure-filled trip with family and friends, this Lake Norman home is the perfect place to make lasting memories.

Thanks for considering our property! Brent

This place is a fantastic stay for a family getaway at the lake. Beautiful setting in a corner lot right on the water with a fantastic yard for fun games for all.

Great weekend getaway.

My family and I rented the house for Presidents’ Day weekend and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The house is well appointed and the location is great. There are lots of things for the kids to when not out on the water. The dock is very nice and we rented the pontoon which worked out perfectly. Would definitely visit again and recommend the property to our family and friends.
