📍 Lake Norman | 🛏 5 Bedrooms + Office | 🛁 4 Full + 2 Half Baths | Sleeps 14 | 🌅 Lake Views from Every Level

Welcome to Firefly Cove, your ultimate luxury escape on the tranquil shores of Lake Norman. Tucked away on a peaceful cove, this expansive three-story lakefront home offers over 5,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space—perfect for large families, multi-generational groups, or friends looking to unwind and reconnect in style.

From the moment you enter, you're greeted by a dramatic wall of windows that flood the main level with natural light and frame breathtaking views of the lake. The open-concept living area invites connection, whether you're curled up by the stone fireplace or gathered on the oversized sectional watching the game. Just steps away, the dining area seats eight comfortably and flows into a fully equipped chef's kitchen, complete with a gas range, massive island with bar seating, and everything you need to host a lakeside dinner party. The main level also features a stunning primary suite with a king bed, spa-like ensuite bathroom, and private access to the upper deck—ideal for slow mornings with coffee in hand. An office with a queen sleeper sofa adds additional sleeping space, bringing the home's total guest capacity to 14.

Head upstairs and you'll find two queen bedrooms, each with their own ensuite bathrooms, creating serene retreats for guests who value privacy and comfort. A cheerful bunk room with twin-over-twin beds gives the kids a space of their own—perfect for movie marathons and sleepover fun.

The lower level is made for entertainment, offering a second family room with plush leather seating, a cozy fireplace, and a big-screen TV for movie nights. There's a kitchenette for mixing cocktails or grabbing snacks, and even a temperature-controlled wine cellar for the aficionados in your group. For those in the mood for games, the fully loaded game room features air hockey, shuffleboard, and a classic arcade machine. Walk straight out to the backyard and let the lakeside fun begin.

Outside is where Firefly Cove truly shines. A beautiful pool and hot tub, connected by a cascading waterfall, create your own private resort vibe. Loungers surround the pool for sunbathing, reading, or just relaxing in the Carolina breeze. Beyond the pool, the double-decker dock offers even more options for fun—one level for boating and the other for lounging, jumping into the lake, or soaking up the view. Two kayaks and a paddleboard are available for lake exploration, and the expansive lawn offers space for cornhole or catching fireflies as the sun sets.

Whether you're enjoying wine at sunset, diving off the dock, floating in the pool, or competing in an air hockey showdown, Firefly Cove is designed to bring people together. With its luxury finishes, panoramic lake views, and unbeatable outdoor amenities, it's more than just a vacation rental—it's a destination all its own.

Don't wait—book your stay today and experience lakeside living at its most unforgettable.

Beautiful view to relax

We were a group of women in their 40’s looking for a relaxing weekend. We had plenty of space, enjoyed the pool and rented a boat to use while here. It was a gorgeous view to wake up to each morning and had a blast at the house. Thanks for great memories!

Perfect place for a group trip

Our group of 3 families had an awesome time on our long weekend. Most of us never even left the house- we had everything we needed between the house, pool, and lake. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their space. We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone with multiple families.

Great home on Lake Norman

We had the most wonderful relaxing week on the lake. Youngsters headed out on lake to tube, wakeboard and swim. They loved it. Basement area is a great hang out for kids, games, and time together away from parents.

Great Family Vacation

We rented the home for just our family and everything was as described. The property managers were always very communicative with any questions we may have had. There was a problem with the washer that predated our visit but the manager took care of it without us having to be involved. It was a great vacation for my family and my kids loved the lake!

First time at Lake Norman. Great house and great location on Lake Norman not to mention the pool and hot tub. Property owners were very responsive and easy to work with. They even checked in on us mid week to make sure we had everything we needed. All around great experience. Will definitely be back again.

Beautiful Lake view

The house was the perfect set-up for our stay with friends. The boat dock accommodated two boats with deep water as well. The pool and hot tub only had propane for heating purposes, so we were unable to use either one in the event of draining all the propane.

Family Vacation

Overall, we had an enjoyable stay at Firefly Cove. Location is superb and the views do not disappoint. Pool area was great to hang out while kids were in the house. Only disappointment was the fact that cleanliness and basic maintenance seem to get overlooked with this rental property. All issues reported to management company were addressed somewhat quickly; however, most should not have had to be reported if the home was actively upkept vs. treated as a pure-play rental.

Overall a good property.

Few issues with appliances and air conditioning. Interestingly the master has a fireplace that it shares with the living room and it’s literally an open space and not very quiet when others are in the kitchen or living room. The lake is beautiful as usual but it should be a little clearer how steep the walk is from the lake to the home. Loved having the pool and hot tub. Overall a good experience.

Lake Norman get away

The house and property are beautiful. The area is great, with grocery stores, gas stations and restaurants nearby. We had a few hiccups along the way. The house is located on a quiet little cove just off the main channel. The family had a wonderful time and we will definitely return. A few of the negatives we encountered, on the 1st day we went to fire up the stove and were unable to get the gas burner to light. The property manager responded quickly to our issue and the propane company was quickly dispatched to the house. Turns out the propane tank was empty. Minor inconvenience to get the trip started. Encountered 1 other issue on the 2nd to last night, the upstairs AC unit went out, again the property manger dispatched their AC guy and he came out and fixed the issue within a few hours. The response time on the property management company was very good. Sh*t does happen as any home owner would know. The AC filters in the house had not been changed in over a year as we found while trying to remedy the HVAC issue. All in all it was a great stay with a few bumps along the way.

Lake Heaven

We rented this property for our family Thanksgiving reunion. We live in Miami, 2 kids with baby in NY and 4 kids in Charlotte. This home was the perfect meeting spot right on the middle. And what an amazing week we had. The house was perfect to accommodate all of us, even though the Charlotte gang only stayed one night. The house itself is beautiful but it could use some upgrades… some furniture is falling apart, the kitchen could be better equipped, some of the appliances were not working properly, etc. We notified the management company so hopefully they will take care of it for future rentals. They were very accommodating, bringing us a baby security gate for our one-year old very curious grandson so we could block the stairs. Overall we had a great time and I would recommend this property.
