About this property

Romantic Lake Cottage Retreat ..<br>Perfect for 2<br>

It's a great time of year to be on Lake Norman.. Read first. Then call me so we can talk Eight two eight eight five five four six seven three...
This separate boat house is set up as a hotel suite right on the lake...with a full wrap around deck with shade sails.
This is our guest house, not just a hotel ...It's like being at home ... away from home.
All surfaces are stripped and then being sprayed with an antibacterial...Even laundry is being done with Lysol additive.

A perfect romantic getaway for 2 ...(Maximum guests 2... No exceptions) This is NOT be a home base for all your family.
It is the perfect retreat...private but not far from everything.

It is one large sunny great room with a very open feeling. With vinyl plank flooring and a king size pillow top mattress.
Enjoy the views from the wall of picture windows. Watch the sunsets and moonlight reflect off the water of your own private deck. Our new 50" smart tv with streaming services and Alexa will keep you entertained while in your retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Minutes from Mooresville and all shopping
AMMENITIES ARE FOR REGISTERED GUESTS ONLY.


No Smoking inside property
(to do so would be termination of stay with no refund)....
Outside is fine as long as you respect the lake!!

The property has a No Pet Policy! Sorry...too many people are allergic


'Rusty and Brenda were wonderful hosts. We enjoyed the coziness of the one room bungalow so much, we think we could retire in a similar place. Everything you need all in one big room- fabulous! I found the view out all the windows my favorite part of the stay.
'With the cleanliness of the place and the smell of the towels I felt like I was home rather than in a hotel'
'We truly enjoyed our stay... We did not want for a thing.... This cove is quiet and filled with nature...From the hummingbirds to the blue heron. I have never seen my husband unwind and relax so quickly. We hated to leave'

'All your little extra touches were greatly appreciated. Thank you for all your hospitality and kindness'

We thoroughly enjoyed the boathouse. The place is decorated just right . It is a perfect getaway for 2 people. Your hospitality is wonderful and not overwhelming. I'll be sure to pass your info along to anyone I know coming to Lake Norman'

We rented the cottage for 4 days but only got to stay for one day due to an illness of my husband. It was a beautiful little cottage and the views were amazing. The owners were very nice and friendly. I will definitely go back when we can stay longer.

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Covington

Host profile image
I purchased this property in 2007. We have made this place into a little piece of heaven.
All done and maintained by us. We love sharing our place and watching our guests enjoy what we have created. our gardens are full of flowers and pieces of art. Our walkways are lit with led flame torches. A 10 ft tall Sasquatch is here to great you upon arrival. Most people come as guests and leave as friends.

Why they chose this property

We've made this the perfect place for couples... Couples are all we rent to...
Over the years we have had several honeymooners, lots of anniversaries, yearly visits,
people checking out the area and becoming our neighbors.. girlfriends getaways(All Hallmark channels, rafts and a blender)...birthday celebrations... couples just reconnecting.. enjoying the peacefulness of our cove or watching our resident blue heron.... This truly is heaven on earth
