Quiet, restful place-nicely appointed. Just a couple of suggestions that would have benefited us--being able to close off the bedroom and window coverings in living area/kitchen that would provide privacy.BTW a beautiful friendly dog!

Very clean and fully equipped little cottage. Actually a mother-in-law suite adjacent to the primary residence. Very close parking just outside and a ramp if you need easy access. The cottage does not have a direct lake view however the property is on the water and we walked out to the dock. I even did a little casting to see if the Lake Norman fish had come out of their winter slumber.. but not quite yet.
