About this property

Waterfront House on Quiet Cove with kayaks, canoe, paddleboard, game room & more

Great quiet family getaway for swimming, fishing, paddling, boating and wildlife viewing. House has four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, whirlpool tub, two decks, screened-in porch, fenced-in play area, dock and walkout basement game room with ping pong table, foosball table and other games. There is a large, well-stocked kitchen that is open to the dining area and living area.

House is located on a peninsula with 270 degree water views. There are decks with views of the water on both the front and back sides of the house. We like to enjoy our morning coffee in the shade on the front porch and have dinner in the shade on a large outdoor table on the back porch.

Two kayaks, one canoe, a paddle board, a private dock, a neighborhood boat ramp, and various outdoor games are available for use by guests.

The cove where the house and dock are located is very quiet. One of our favorite morning and evening activities is to paddle back into two adjoining undeveloped coves that are teaming with wildlife. There is a county park on the opposite side of the cove on the front side of the house, which has a playground, hiking trails and mountain bike trails.

We ask that you let us know as soon as possible if you or anybody you have invited to the house is infected with COVID 19, or is exposed to a person known to be infected with COVID 19 within 15 days prior to your arrival or becomes infected with COVID 19 during your stay or within two weeks after your departure. Additional instructions to minimize exposure will be provided if you make a reservation. As you can see from the reviews of properties that we own, we pride ourselves of maintaining a very clean house.

Because the house is in a rural location and is frequently vacant, there are two outdoor security cameras that point away from the house. There is a Ring doorbell, which is pointed toward the road and there is a security camera is on the south corner of the house pointed toward the driveway.

Family time at the lake
Our family enjoyed our stay at the lakehouse. Used the game room on a rainy day. Cooked a big Easter meal in the well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed the outside games and canoeing as well!

Fantastic lake getaway
The house was great. Really nice location with plenty of things to do inside the house as well as in the surrounding area. We will most definitely come back for another lake stay.

Pleasant, quiet, off-season respite
Loved being able to share Rick's vacation home! Very tidy and well-stocked kitchen complimented the equally comfortable beds and living arrangement. Being in this small cove afforded us a very quiet and relaxing week, enjoying the sounds of the lapping water from the very comfortable dock and watching the wildlife. Definitely consider this home for your next lake visit if you treasure peaceful and calm surroundings with all of the complete comforts of home. Highly recommend. Thank you Rick for sharing your good fortune with others. Nate, Sonia and Dorothy

Great Stay
The house looks exactly like the pictures and the kids loved all the games. There is a notebook that is very detailed and answered any questions we had. The game room was a huge win and so were all the outside games. We rented a boat from a local marina and docked it at the house for a few days. It was very clean and we had no question about if it was properly cleaned before we arrived. Would stay again.

About the host

Host profile image
We've traveled the world, most recently living in France for a year and traveling to Alaska for two months, but Lake Norman remains one of our favorite places to get away from the hectic pressures of daily life.

Why they chose this property

This property is great for all types of water-related activities, particularly kayaking, fishing and wildlife viewing. The cove where the house is located is very quiet and our favorite activity is to take an early morning paddle back into the next two coves, which are undeveloped, full of wildlife and surrounded by a county park with playground, athletic fields, walking trails and mountain bike trails.

The house has plenty of room for a large family including 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, large game room in the walkout basement, a dock, a fenced-in play area, 2 decks and a screened-in porch.

There are two kayaks, a canoe and a paddleboard available for the use of the guests.
If you want a powerboat, there are many places to rent a boat in the area, and there is plenty of room to tie up multiple boats at the dock. There is also a paved neighborhood boat ramp that guests may use if they want to bring their own boat.

What makes this property unique

The house has a well-stocked kitchen (we like to cook), a whirlpool tub in the master bedroom, water toys, and plenty of books, indoor games (ping pong, foosball and various board games) and outdoor games (Bocci, cornhole, horse shoes) to enjoy. If you are looking for a little more excitement, there are various activities on Lake Norman, lots of shopping near along Hwy 150, various NASCAR related activities, and a full-range of museums and big-city activities in Charlotte.
