About this property

Lakefront Cottage: Dock, Firepit, Foosball & Screened Porch

Settle into Sunfish Cove, a one-bedroom lakefront cottage on Mountain Island Lake. Enjoy coffee on the screened porch, time by the dock, outdoor foosball and evenings around the lakeside firepit. Stay a few days and give yourself time to slow down.

HOT TUB: NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
The covered hot tub visible in some photos is not available for guest use and is not included with current reservations. No opening date is promised. If it becomes available, the listing will be updated with its availability and any separate fee before it is offered.

THE COTTAGE
The home accommodates up to 3 guests, with a king bedroom, living and dining area, WiFi and a bathroom with shower. The kitchenette has a refrigerator, microwave, single burner and countertop toaster oven for simple meals. There is no full-size stove or conventional oven.

BY THE WATER
Enjoy the lakefront yard, dock, screened porch, outdoor seating, foosball and firepit with a cooking grate. On-site trailer parking is available for guests bringing a boat. Lake levels and weather can affect shoreline and water conditions.

The cottage is for your stay, but the owners may occasionally access their boat at the dock. This is a residential cove, not an isolated property. Boats shown in photos are not included with the rental. The houseboat shown in older photos has been removed, and the pontoon's location has changed. The trampoline and old charcoal smoker shown in some older photos have also been removed.

PRACTICAL DETAILS
Two-night minimum; a four-night stay gives you more time to enjoy the lake without rushing. Your dates and any eligible savings are reflected in the booking quote.

Convenient for visits to Huntersville, Mount Holly and Charlotte, with groceries and restaurants within driving distance. Aircraft can be audible over the property; flight activity varies.

Pets are not accepted for new reservations. Previously approved pets on existing reservations will be honored under the agreed pet rules and fees. Service animals are accommodated in accordance with Vrbo's service animal policy and are not charged pet fees.

No smoking inside the home. Please keep outdoor smoking away from open doors and windows.

If anything needs attention on arrival or during your stay, please message us promptly so we can help.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia

Host profile image

We’re a local, family-run business based in the Charlotte area, and we take pride in creating comfortable, well-maintained spaces for our guests to enjoy. We specialize in irrigation and water systems professionally, so naturally we appreciate being around the water whenever we can.

This lakefront cottage is a place we genuinely enjoy spending time at ourselves—whether it’s relaxing by the fire, sitting out on the dock, or just unwinding away from the noise of everyday life. We’re always available if you need anything and want every guest to have a smooth, enjoyable stay from start to finish.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location because of the quiet cove and peaceful setting it offers compared to busier lake areas. Mountain Island Lake is a hidden gem—close to Charlotte but much more relaxed and less crowded than other nearby lakes.

This particular spot provides deep water access, great fishing, and calm conditions for boating, while still being just a short drive to grocery stores, restaurants, and everything you may need during your stay. It’s the perfect balance of convenience and escape.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property stand out is the combination of a private dock, quiet cove location, and easy access for boaters with trailer parking on-site. Not all lake properties offer that level of convenience.

Guests love being able to walk straight down to the water, spend the day on the lake, and then come back to relax around the firepit in a peaceful setting. The layout and location make it feel private and comfortable, while still being close enough to town when needed.
