Relaxing Lake Retreat With Canoe, Kayaks and Paddle Board

Get away from the hectic affairs of daily life and relax on the bucolic west side of Lake Norman. The house has 198 feet of waterfront. Located mid-way up Lake Norman, the house is far enough away from Charlotte to be outside of suburbia, but close enough to civilization for convenient access to restaurants and shopping. The house has a good view across a very wide cove that is perfect for swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking or paddle boarding. You have a choice of swimming from a protected beach or swimming off the dock in deep water. We have a canoe, kayaks, and paddle board that are available for use by the renters free of charge. We also have various indoor and outdoor games available for use, including various board games, Bocce, horseshoes, and Croquet. There are fishing rods if you want to try your luck at catching dinner.

The house was completely renovated in 2015-2016 and a new screen porch was added in February 2018. There is a queen-sized (firm) bed in one bedroom and two (medium firmness) twin beds in the second bedroom. A side room has an additional twin bed (medium firmness). We do not recommend the house for groups with more than 5 people.

A washer and dryer are available for use in the utility room. If it gets cold, there is a wood-stove in additional to a heat pump system. Outside, there is a large dock with deep water and room for multiple boats. If you have a boat, it is most convenient to put the boat in at either the Lake Norman Hotel landing, the McCrary Creek access area, the Hager Creek access area or the Burton Creek access area.

The house is not large or fancy, but it is clean and comfortable. Although there is a great view from most of the rooms in the house, you will want to spend most of your time on the dock, on the screen porch or in the water. Early in the morning, as the mist is lifting from the lake, is great time to sit in the porch swing on the dock or one of the rockers and enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee. It is not uncommon to see deer, herons, turtles, muskrats, ducks, and geese. There is also a friendly catfish that will stick its nose out of the water and beg to be fed.

If you are looking for a quiet vacation spot, this is a great house for you. If you are looking for a place to party into the wee hours of the night, this is not a good choice. The neighbors are generally quiet and go to sleep early. Because sound travels far on a quiet cove, the neighbors will complain and you feel unwelcome if there is a lot of noise or cars coming in and out late at night.

Because the house is frequently vacant, there are two outdoor security cameras that point away from the house. One camera is between the garage doors pointed toward the road and one camera is on the northeast corner of the screen porch pointed toward the driveway.
