About this property

Cozy Lake House! Large Yard! Sleeps 8! Boating options available on site!

Come enjoy the relaxing environment of this beautiful lake front property, we refer to as "The Little House." With a large back porch perfect for marveling over the sunset, an acre yard, and dock perfect for day time sunbathing, you will have nothing short of an amazing time at this cozy home. It is located on a private drive in a great location. The neighborhood is quiet and nice for walks or runs, while restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and convenience stores are all close in vicinity (less than 10 minutes away). 2 single kayaks and a paddle board are included, as well as a propane grill and fire pit. If you’re interested in our pontoon rental please ask!
Full disclosure— We are dog friendly and this is a 1960s home. As you can see in the photos, there is wood paneling and older appliances. If you want a new, updated home that is not dog friendly, STAY ELSEWHERE. This house is not for you! People who want to enjoy the lake, bring their pets, and get a lake house feeling for a great price, stay here! This is a great VALUE stay!

The house was exactly as described. We were looking for a comfortable place for a family vacation with our dogs, this was the place! Marty was a responsive and accommodating host. Private yet close to stores and some nice breweries. Just right for us.

Memorial Weekend Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. It rained the entire weekend, but we were so relaxed here. Beautiful views of the lake. Comfy rooms. Like other people have mentioned, could use some updating, but still a terrific home. Would definitely stay here again.

60th Birthday Getaway

Beautiful location. I gave this 5 stars even though we had a few issues with the electricity. Hurricane Helene sent some weather our way and a tree took out some power lines. We were without power for 2 days/1 night. In all honesty it wasn't that big of a deal, after all you are outside most of the time enjoying the beautiful yard and lake. We ran to Wal Mart, got some candles and ice chests. Saved our food and then ordered pizza for dinner. We planned to BBQ but the previous vacationer left the propane tank on and there went those plans. Pizza was good though so no harm done.

Lovely spacious home

This property has large mature trees that provide shade from the hot Carolina Sun. There is a large patio surrounding the entire back of the home facing the Lake. The large overhead covered area protected us from rain showers. There is a picnic table and wicker set of chairs and couch so we could enjoy being outside and enjoying the view. I enjoyed reading out there but you can walk out on the dock or play corn hole. Indoors is spacious and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided. We only had to purchase our food and paper goods. There are games, books, a large screen TV in the great room and a small TV in the primary bedroom. Large dining room made family dinners a time to enjoy our time together. Our host was responsive to any of my questions. Her notebook on the kitchen counter answered most questions. We loved this property. We would definitely recommend this home.

Nice location / needs cleaning / maintenance

The house is nice and lake location is nice. There was a lot of things that didn’t work. The ice maker and fireplace did not work. The lights outside of the house was very dark and you couldn’t see. There were spiders webs in the rooms and I have picture's. There was lots of spider webs on the house. No one thought to clean things and check to make sure things were in good working order. The drainage in the Jacuzzi was slow and main sink as well in the bathroom. I did a lot of cleaning. It’s an older home with old appliances such as the stove top and dishwasher and washing machine. There was a new refrigerator in which the ice maker didn’t work and the filter water was not working. The person who I called Marty who was very nice and tried to help with issues but no one was able to come and fix things because it was the weekend. It was a good stay but there are issues.

Host was very responsive and helpful. The lake was wonderful. We rented the property’s pontoon boat which is a wee bit misrepresented in the listing. It looks shiny and new in the listing, but in reality has ripped up seats and overall a bit ratty. It won’t idle, but the host warned us about that. Overall, it ran great and we had no issues with it except the low idle. We believe the host should forewarn guests about the water pressure in the house. You cannot flush a toilet or run water anywhere in the house while someone is taking a shower. The water practically disappears for the poor soul in the shower. The dining room chairs and bar stools are very aged. We are not snobs at all, but the bottoms of the dining chairs have a deep hole under the upholstery that makes you feel like your butt is falling through. The bar stools are kind of rickety. We are not large people but didn’t feel really safe sitting on those. Just a few cosmetics would go a ways. But overall, we loved our stay. Just had to learn how to deal with the water pressure.

I love this place!! I’ll definitely be back! It was so cool to be right on the lake and be able to see it from most every room in the house! This is an older lake house and that’s exactly my vibe I felt right at home and comfy. My pup and I had a blast paddling around the lake on the paddle board, we really enjoyed that. Just a lovely place, a lovely stay and we really loved it!

Don’t wait book today.

What a great gem. This home is all you will need. Very well kept property. The beds and linen were amazing, very comfortable and spacious. Furniture very comfortable. Everything works as it should. All light switches labeled. While some comments mentioned the older bathrooms and kitchen appliances. This is a great time capsule of a family home. You will love the intercom system. Really took me back to my childhood. Don’t delay. You will have a great time. We booked for next year before we left. We also rented the pontoon book. We had a great family week and our fur babies enjoyed it as well.

Location was great.The windows on the outside were filthy and the dining room chairs had broken seats. The pontoon boat floor was dirty,gas gauge was inaccurate,speedometer and tach were non operational and the starboard bow seating was not secured. Inside house was clean and pleasant. We enjoyed our stay nonetheless

Lake Norman getaway

Well if you plan on boating and using the dock and or hanging out outside this place is lacking upkeep and maintenance. No usable grill and the yard was full of branches sticks and dirt. Hedges were grown up to the eaves. The dock walkway is a barely hanging in there. Metal rod holding the walkway up is halfway out and needs fixed. The electrical outlet is deteriorated and needs replaced. Had to make do with what we had to charge our boats. Very unsafe. No light bulb on dock and when we put one in there the neighbor made us take it out. She says the light bothered her at night. Living areas were okay but outdated. I’ve fished all over the Southeast and stayed at many places and this one was my least favorite.

Awesome place

We loved out stay the lake house. The house was clean, the location was quiet, the cove was quiet and clearly a no wake cove, the property was nice, there wasn’t anything about the place we would have changed. Was it all brand new? Nope. Did everything work? Yep. We fixed steaks on the gas grill, cooked side items in the house, and we wanted for nothing. We are already talking about when we are going to go back, and we rarely visit the same rental twice, so that says a lot. As a side note, we ate at Chillfire Grill for my birthday, and it was easily a top 3 dining experience, so it is highly recommended.

Gorgeous Lake views

Charming house with floor to ceiling windows provided us a panoramic view of the lake. Plenty of space for entertaining inside or outside. We spent most of our long weekend on the back porch enjoying the view and the bbq grille. Also we liked the proximity to plenty of restaurants and breweries - within 5 to 10 from the house. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at this home. The description is very accurate. The back porch was our favorite spot for morning coffee and sunsets. Our dogs enjoyed the large yard and walks in the quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the convenience of stores nearby. Renting the pontoon boat was a definite perk!

About the host

Hosted by Martha Wilcox

Host profile image
My name is Marty and I manage my families rental properties here on Lake Norman. I am originally from West Virginia but made Lake Norman my home in 2015. I manage the 3 rentals on the property for my family, and live close by to easily over see them all. I am also a licensed real estate agent in the area. If you are potentially interested in residing in the area please do not hesitate contacting me for more local information!

Why they chose this property

This property really allows you to experience the beauty of Lake Norman with its open and inviting lay out. It has a 1.5 acre lot and large back porch. The house is slightly back in a cove, but just around the corner is open water and the main channel. Being in a cove, the house is very relaxing and quiet. My favorite part is the fact the house faces the west and you get the most breathtaking sunset!

What makes this property unique

The house has a very open floor plan and glass sliding doors that give you a full view of the lake from where ever you are in the house. It was built in the 1960s, so I would definitely say it has a retro and unique vibe. For example, the house has a surround sound intercom system you control from the kitchen and can hear from any room! Turn on the local FM station and you can jam throughout the whole house! The house also has an indoor fire place and an outdoor fire pit. I also have included a propane grill, with 2 picnic tables (one on the patio, one on the dock) and patio furniture so ample enjoyment is possible. There are also kayaks and a paddle board!

The dock has 2 ladders for you to go in and out of the water. It has a picnic table at the end, and a floating piece to attach a boat.

If you are interested in renting lake toys, I rent out the pontoon boat. Westport marina (very close to the house) rents out practically every water toy you can think of.
