Welcome to Boathouse Cove, a timeless Craftsman retreat tucked into a peaceful cove on Lake Norman. This serene, family-friendly escape invites you to slow down and truly enjoy lake life—where mornings start with coffee by the water, afternoons are spent kayaking or swimming, and evenings end with unforgettable sunsets. Whether you're planning a family getaway, a multi-generational stay, or a relaxing girls' weekend by the lake, Boathouse Cove offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and lakeside charm.
Designed by Miller Nicholson, this exceptional Craftsman home features an impressive 140 windows that frame breathtaking lake views from nearly every room. Warm wood accents, cozy gathering spaces, and five beautifully appointed bedrooms create a welcoming environment designed for both relaxation and memory-making—from weekday adventures with the kids to laid-back weekends soaking up the sun.
Outdoor living truly shines at Boathouse Cove. The gently sloping, landscaped lawn leads to 234 feet of private shoreline and an expansive waterfront oasis. A private dock with covered boat slips (pontoon rentals available), a sparkling pool, and a six-person hot tub perched on an elevated deck set the stage for effortless relaxation. Enjoy sun or shade from the dock's seating and dining areas, paddle out on the provided kayaks or paddleboards, cool off with a swim, or let kids play lawn games in the grassy yard. As the day winds down, gather by the water to take in some of the most beautiful sunsets Lake Norman has to offer.
Inside, the slate rocking-chair front porch welcomes you home. The open-concept main level seamlessly blends the living room, kitchen, breakfast area, and dining space—making it ideal for families and groups who love to spend time together. The living room is cozy and inviting with plush seating, striking stonework, wood accents, and window seats perfectly positioned for lake views. Natural light fills the space, creating a calm and airy atmosphere throughout the day.
The large, fully stocked kitchen is a standout feature and a favorite for group stays and girls' weekends. Equipped with a glass cooktop, double ovens, and a generous island with seating for six, it's perfect for preparing family meals, hosting wine nights, or gathering for casual breakfasts. Both a Keurig and drip coffee maker are available for easy mornings. Nearby, the dining area seats eight for shared meals, while the breakfast room offers an additional cozy hangout with couches, a bar, mini-fridge, TV, and views overlooking the pool and lake.
For added privacy and fun, the separate garage suite offers its own retreat. Downstairs, the game room features a bar, TV, refrigerator, basketball shooting game, and foosball—ideal for kids, teens, or friendly competition. Upstairs, you'll find an additional bedroom with two queen beds, a full bath, and a mini-fridge, making it a perfect hangout or overflow sleeping space.
Boathouse Cove is thoughtfully designed to entertain guests of all ages. With eight TVs, two full-size refrigerators, and two mini-fridges, hosting is easy and comfortable. Between the game room, pool, hot tub, dock, water toys, and expansive outdoor spaces, there's always something to do—or plenty of space to do nothing at all.
Set in a quiet cove with exceptional amenities and stunning views, Boathouse Cove is your private haven on Lake Norman. Whether you're bonding with family, reconnecting with friends, or simply recharging by the water, this lakeside retreat promises an unforgettable stay.
