About this property

Romantic Lakefront Hideaway Close to downtown, Belmont Whitewater Center Airport

This 1 bedroom ground floor unit has easy access. There is a 2 bedroom unit above this one that is also available.
The building was built right on the water's edge and has an amazing view of the main channel. This in town location is close to everything. That being said there is a lot to do without leaving the property.
You can rent a pontoon boat right from your dock. There is a brand new resturant next door that as of this date 9/21/2026 is not yet open but should be open soon
Since this is a duplex guests should plan for a quite stay. In the common areas there is a hot tub, and outdoor shower, a boat dock and a large fire pit.
We have use guidelines that allow all guests to make sure all guests get a private use of these amenities.
A note to guests we do have a small family of feral cats that live on the property.
This place has had a long history of pets just showing up. We have found the owners of some and found homes for others. ( We have 2 dogs and a Cat at our home that came from there,) Th cats are fixed and a feral cat organization comes by and makes sure they are healthy. We feed them and built them a home. They are mostly shy of people but you will see them around.
Bob and Kim
Note We use outside security cameras pointing to the parking lot and front and side entrances. We have 1 pointing toward the dock. There are no cameras in hot tub area, screen porches or lakeside deck. Obviously none in any interior areas.

We stayed for a combo anniversary celebration and concert in downtown Charlotte. It was a great location for both. It was a little too hot during our stay for the hot tub but we thoroughly enjoyed the view from the house and screened porch.

The hot tub was very clean and very warm..The porch overlooking the lake was magnificent..The inside space was cozy and fully equipped. The walk down to the water was very easy with steps walking right down into the sandy bottom lake. I can't wait to come again next year.

This was such a cute, welcoming, peaceful property right on the water. Also pet friendly which is what we needed. We've stayed in areas before that we did not feel comfortable leaving the pets alone, but that was not the case here. Would stay here again.

Bob was quick to reply to any questions we had and communicated well about rules, check-in procedure, etc. House was in a great location and had amazing views of the lake. The kitchen was well stocked. The snack box was a nice little touch. Unfortunately due to all the rain during our stay we didnt get to take advantage of all the house had to offer so we will definitely be back.

Great location. Right off the main road yet still quiet. I texted Bob ahead of time to let him know when we’d be arriving and he had the door unlocked, the lights on and the a/c cranking for us. Easy parking. Some snacks and candy were provided. The (newer) refrigerator has filtered water dispenser, which I appreciate. The freezer produces a large amount of ice. There are pontoon boats on the property that can be rented daily for a fair price. The hot tub is in great condition and was very clean. We were very pleased with this property and will definitely be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Bob Rudolph

Host profile image
We are Bob and Kim and we are lake enthusiast. We own homes on several of the lakes in the area. We presently live on a lake close by and we love this place so much we spend many weekends here.

Why they chose this property

Mile View provides a fairly unique experience for it's guests. Located in the city of Charlotte
there is not another lake front rental that is closer to downtown (typically 15 minutes)
The fact that there is another unit attached is a different twist and we are strict in our vetting of potential guests because of it. The result is that we have never had a compliant
about the behavior of an adjoining guest. In fact we have had guests that have met and
planed their next stay to coincide with their new found friends.
Many of our guests come to experience the National White water Center. If you come, we strongly suggest you visit there. It's a man made river rapids that you can kayak
or do a guided raft run. This is the only man made Olympic qualifying rapids in the country. There is vertical rock climbing, zip linning and a lot more outdoor adventures.
If you don't feel quite that adventurous there is a riverside restaurant where you can get a great meal and a glass of wine that you can sip while you watch crazy
people careen down a wall of water and rocks. There are also summer concerts and island sunset parties. It costs just $5 to park and nothing to visit the center.
You can drive from Rosella, park your car, and walk to the rivers edge in less than 10 minutes.

What makes this property unique

Mile View truly sits on historic ground. The old Rozzelle plantation house was just 200 feet away, later named Laura's Rozzelle House. The old home was used as a pre-civil war ferry docking point and a boarding house and then restaurant until the 1980s. The property this house sits on has been used for rest and hospitality for about 170 years and if open your self to the experience you can feel it. Try not to think of Rosella as a commodity, leave your preconceptions of what it should be behind and open yourself to
feel the foot prints left by literally thousands of travelers that preceded you. If you can
do that we think you too will understand why we think Rosella is so special.
