Perfect corporate retreat location!

We used the rentals for a corporate retreat. It worked out perfect for meeting in the main house and having enough space for everyone to room separately. Plenty of kitchen space for us. And the dock was great for morning workouts!

Great service

When we got there, the AC for the top floor was out. The property manager went and got 4 portable AC units to try to make us comfortable. We were in constant communication and he was there every day to check on us, even on July 4th. We were provided plenty of toys for the lake and we brought the boat and docked at the house. There were places to rent jet skis on the water and to go out and eat. This is an awesome property. The fishing was awesome and all had a memorable time. Oh, the AC had a break in the freon line apparently and was fixed!

The Perfect Lake Getaway!

This property was the perfect fit for our large multi-generational family trip! Being in the state park made everything so tranquil and quiet, but still had easy access by car and boat. Would definitely recommend!

Awesome lake Norman retreat

We had a great time at both the houses. Huge, well equipped homes with access to the lake. We made good use of those kayaks and canoes. Very peaceful and quiet neighborhood inside the huge state park. We will definitely come back here with more friends and family! Thanks to Jack for always being available to answer questions. 🙂
