About this property

Lake Front Getaway, Family Friendly.

Enjoy the lake life and relax at Bally K, a cozy 3-bedroom cottage on a secluded 1.5-acre waterfront lot. 28 mins from downtown Charlotte, 5 minutes from I-77, in the gold zone for retail and amenities.

This is a low-slope lot. Everybody gets easy access to the water. No steps to climb at the dock, no steps to climb to get home.

Recently renovated with a new kitchen, hardwood floors, and new furnishings. Covered and screened-in porch with dining area. Open deck with great views of the lake.

30' x 30' floating dock. Deepwater lot with 12' - 18' of water at the pier, depending on the season. (12' in winter) Covered gazebo located over the water to enjoy those Lake Norman sunsets.

Get unlimited use of the 4 kayaks and the 2 stand-up paddleboards, all free with rental. Launch them from the dock or the sandy beach at the water's edge. Swim in the safe and protected private bay, no boat traffic, perfect for children of all ages.

Bring your boat, and put it in at Haggar Creek public access. Navigate less than 1/2 a mile back to our pier, and tie it up in the private boat slip.

Time Warner cable with Disney, Nick, Nick Jr, Boomerang, and all of the kid channels. Play Station, Wii, with lots of games. Great place for kids to enjoy their summer vacation.

Exceeded our expectations. The Bally K was lovely. It was clean and wonderfully comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better location. We had two young boys with us. The kayaks were a big hit. We cooked hot dogs and had s’mores at the firepit. There were several yard games to enjoy as well. We went out several times to eat and we found more than enough choices nearby for all of us to enjoy. The Lazy 5 Ranch was awesome, again, for all of us, young and older.Checking in was easy. We had fruit, cookies and fresh cut flowers waiting on the table. We had everything we needed without asking for a thing. Loved it all!

Absolutely 10/10! Very nice place, from the hospitality and charming touches to peaceful location. We especially loved the screened in porch, fire pit, and gazebo on the dock. The hosts went above and beyond, providing their phone numbers in case we needed anything, fresh fruit and flowers, beach towels, life jackets, firewood for the fire pit, kayaks, and more. This place is so relaxing, we can't wait to return. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

First time visiting Lake Norman with my family and found this gem of a property with everything you need for complete lakes side relaxation. Tim, the owner was a great host, and went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. We will be back when visiting Lake Norman in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Tom O'Hare

Host profile image
Céad Míle Fáilte (Irish for a hundred thousand welcomes)

Born in Ireland, Tom and Katie lived and worked all over the world. Their 2 children attended American schools in Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and Indonesia.

Although they traveled extensively, they always called Charlotte home. Now retired, they spend part of the year at their home in Mooresville, and the rest in Northern Ireland.

Bally K was purchased in 1982 as a vacation home. Both Tom and Katie have a passion for hosting. Since owning a chain of boutique motels seemed out of reach, (and a lot of work) Bally K Cottage was born.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, lakefront, residential neighborhood, close to amenities. 1.5 acre wooded lot on a cul-de-sac.

What makes this property unique

Low slope lot with no stairs to climb. Private dock with boat slip and easy access into the water.
