In addition to the property being very clean and accommodating, exactly as described, I would also add that it is very easy to find, with plenty of parking. The house binder made mention of a paddleboat, which did not seem to be present. But overall, this was a terrific stay, and someplace I would gladly visit again.

Impressive

This “cabin” was the best maintained and provisioned rental we have ever stayed at. As can be seen on VRBO, it’s at a great location on North Carolina’s Lake Norman. It beautifully accommodated our party and, using the shelter-like facility on the dock, a get together with our extended family from that area. The kids and our party really loved the place.

A Very Special Family Gathering Spot!

Our family (3 generations) has grown most fond of this special spot. The location, dock, water, view, wading area, yard, home has given us countless memories. Thank you Frank for the care you give to the property and your guests. Everything you’ll need is within an easy drive, but don’t venture out for too long, enjoy the place, it’s special!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and cozy. We loved enjoying our coffee down by the dock in the morning.The rental company was great - very attentive and accommodating. We had a question about the hot tub and they were at the property within the hour. Only downside, which had nothing to do with the home or property management, there are a few new builds directly next door. The noise from the construction made it difficult to enjoy time outdoors during the day. We realize that this is a temporary inconvenience - it was just a bit of a bummer as we traveled down to the Carolina’s from up north to enjoy some time outdoors. I am quite certain the noise will come to an end in a matter of weeks.

Nice lakeside cabin

Just as expected. Charming cabin with nice views of the lake, comfortable beds, lots of pillows & cozy blankets, plenty of towels, fun fire pit for s'mores, grill worked well, nice covered dock area with chairs and tables. Neighborhood was quiet, close to Publix, casual restaurants, and Mountain Creek park.

Even Better Than The Pictures

As a maid of honor, I had the task of finding a large enough house for 14 women. We came across this cabin/house and thought the images look good and booked it. Upon our stay, we had the easiest check-in process and walked in to see the space was even better than what we saw in the pictures. Everyone had a bed, we were comfortable and the lake was perfect. Such a great place to stay and would really love to come back!

Amazing Family Vacation!

Everything about the house was better than expected. We had 13 adults and 1 child in our group and the house never felt crowded. The house has everything you need for an amazing time from the game room to the very beautiful dock. Would definitely recommend this house. Frank was great to work with and his response time was very quick! And swimming off the dock was one of the best parts!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Our stay was unfortunately very disappointing. From the moment we arrived, there was a strong, unpleasant odor coming from the basement that lingered throughout the house and made the property much less enjoyable.The hot tub was also not in usable condition when we checked in. The water was green and appeared to have not been cleaned or properly maintained before our arrival, so we were unable to use one of the property’s advertised amenities.The most frustrating part of our experience came after checkout. Rather than working with us professionally, the owner was disrespectful in their communication and attempted to hold us responsible for damage that we did not cause. Being inaccurately accused after taking care of the property left a very negative impression.Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this rental. I hope the owner addresses the cleanliness, maintenance, and communication issues so future guests have a better experience.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 July 2026
We are sorry this guest was disappointed, but important context is missing from this review. After checkout, we documented damage to the screen door and ping-pong table and notified the guest that we would submit a claim through Vrbo’s standard damage-resolution process. This negative review was posted after that notification. We take legitimate cleanliness and maintenance concerns seriously and work hard to provide every guest with a clean, well-maintained home. Our 4.98-star rating across more than 80 stays reflects the consistently positive experiences of our guests. We must also hold guests responsible for documented damage and enforce our house rules out of respect for our property and neighbors.

It was great!

We had a great time at this lake house located on Lake Norman. Kids had the best time jumping off the steps into the water. There was a perfect little sandy beach for them to play in by the steps. We brought our twin kayak so it was the perfect spot to catch the sunset. Our friends brought their paddle boards. Overall perfect for having 2 families that have kids under the age of 5. Thanks so much!

Lake Norman -Gordon street log home

This property offers an amazing place for a large family or group of friends to get together and relax, the views are amazing, the dock is very large and a great place to gather, the bedrooms were very comfortable and everyone loved the matresses. Overall this property was an excellent choice and I believe anyone who stays here will love it.. If I had one suggestion, I would creat an area for the garbage and recycling away from the home/garage. Thank you, Neal Monqcelli

Great family spot

We had a wonderful stay. The lake accessibility was perfect for the kids to jump in anytime. There were plenty of floating tubes, so no need to bring any. The dock had tables for the grandparents to sit and enjoy. We used the kitchen heavily, and it had mostly all we needed. The rooms were clean and well prepared for our stay. The game room was great with plenty of ping pong balls, air hockey pucks and corn hole beanbags. The Wi-Fi was sufficient, the TV selection was good. The AC was excellent. For a large family gathering we highly recommend.

Brian thanks for the feedback as it will help us provide the experience we strive to achieve. The workers showed up a day early as courtesy to get the new hot tub installed for you to enjoy…sorry that seems crazy. We left messages and text with no response about getting this done. Our apologies. You ask them to leave…no worries; we want our guest to enjoy a nice and relaxing experience while not being bothered. We had it installed when you left for the next guest to enjoy. Additionally, we had to pay deep cleaning from the “smell” left behind due to house rules not being followed.

Amazing home on Lake Norman!

Frank's home is amazing! We rented the home so that our extended family could attend our older daughters graduation from Davidson College. Frank was extremely gracious in letting us check in earlier since family members were traveling from different cities. The view from the back porch is amazing! The picnic tables and chairs at the waterfront was a surprise. We even caught fish. ALL the amenities that you could possibly think of was available and what wasn't, Publix and Harris Teeter were close by. The 5 bedroom, 3.5 baths accommodated everyone perfectly and the game room on the bottom level was well used along with the gas grill. Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful lakefront home!

Rustic, family friendly, lake home.

Not the best place during the winter, lower level for youth activities is very cold. Lighting in the house needs updating. The house was infested with stink bugs lodged in lights in the upper bunk bedroom and kitchen, the oven was not clean, the pan at the bottom was burned and smelked when the oven was turned on, the cleaning crew did not address the stink bugs, nor the inch of dust on the ceiling fan in the family room, they remained until 4! There were No face cloths, only 1 bath towel per single bed, 2 for double bed, No extra linen. No notice that face cloths and extra linen would not be provided, doesn't work with children. We have stayed in a lake home in the winter before, had an excellent experience.

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry that you had some issues. We wish you would have let us know during your stay and we could have tried to resolve them for you. To improve the comfort in the game room, we will install a new heater. We already have an electric fireplace in the lower bedroom. The face cloths were in the bathrooms. We could have given you more towels at anytime if you would have told us. We are always available for our guests. The bugs in the lights are no stink bugs but tiny flies that are attracted to lights when the windows are open. We will keep a closer watch on that and make sure that the lights are cleaned. We have a contract with a pest company and they come on a regular basis. We wish you the best on your next lake vacation.
