What a Great Stay

While we only stayed here 3-4 days, our vacation lasted 2 weeks at other locations. Staying here was the highlight for us.Communication with the owner and staff were very helpful and they made themselves available with questions we had.The place was immaculate, everything looked great and worked well. The location is in a rural neighborhood and was beautiful. We really appreciated being able to rent the pontoon while we were there. We received clear instructions, took our time on Lake Norman and visited some restaurants.Definitely recommend staying here.

Great little getaway!

Although we weren’t able to stay as long as we had hoped (work related conflicts) the property was great! Very cozy inside with a relaxing back deck with views of the inlet.

Lake Norman Vacation

Great house on the lake! The house was clean and had everything we needed. I recommend renting their pontoon boat for the day to explore Lake Norman.

Peaceful and Relaxing Lake Stay

The property was beautiful. It has everything you need to enjoy a lake property (dock with deck and lounge chairs, kayaks and life vests) The bar area with the dart board and view of the lake was really nice! The deck off the house was wonderful with a full table, chairs and umbrella. We had a wonderful relaxing time!

Lake Norman vacation

We highly recommend using Zach's house for a vacation. We couldn't ask for a better experience. Zach and his Mom were wonderful with us. We recommend renting the pontoon while you are there. We had 3 of our younger grandchildren with us and they said they liked it better then a beach vacation. I wished we could have stayed longer.

Great spot!

We went up for a lacrosse tournament with a few teenage girls. Perfect place for adults and kids. House was great as all reviews say, but having the outside bar area was key for the adults to hang out while the teenagers took over the living room. Girls had a blast playing off the dock swimming and kayaks, and the back deck is perfect for morning coffee and relaxing. Wish we had more time at the house and will rent this again for sure!

A great stay!

We had a really nice time at the lakehouse! It was so clean inside and had everything we needed. The deck by the water was where we spent most of our time and the best part was the giant tree provided a lot of shade almost all day! We also rented the boat and while it was pricey we were happy with it and the communication around the rental and operating it were really easy. We'd love to come back and stay longer! Tip for those booking: the temperature was comfortable throughout the house but the back right bedroom got the coldest if that's important to ya ;)

Very nice

We enjoyed this property very much. We did not enjoy the size or comfort of the beds. There should be more mirrors for us women and little bit more of a feminine touch is needed as far as comfort and lighting but other than that it really did the job!

Incredible House, Location, and Host

This place was perfect on so many levels. It didn't hurt that the weather was perfect, causing everything to glow. We used this house while visiting for graduation at Davidson and now want to rebook for a week to enjoy it along with the boat. The place was clean, comfortable, open enough to manage the larger family in one area, and stocked with everything we needed. The grounds and deck are beautiful. Zack was gracious with his input and very quick with communication. We had super easy access to a variety of grocery stores and restaurants. (Although we rarely left the deck). If you're considering it, book it. You won't be disappointed.

NASCAR race trip weekend

We went there for a NASCAR trip. Saturday we spent the day on the kayaks on the lake, it was the best time! The house was beautiful and cozy, definitely would recommend it for a family vacation or just some time with friends! Had a lovely time and enjoyed every bit of it.

Rented the house and a boat to go along with it for 6 adults over 4th of July week. House is “cozy,” very clean and had everything we needed for a great time. Had an air conditioning issue on the holiday, but owners were amazingly responsive and got it fixed right away! Terrific stay!

Exceeded All Expectations

Great place! Very clean when we arrived, and there were lots of amenities. The bar in the backyard was the cherry on top. The lake makes for a very relaxing atmosphere, but there is also lots to do in the nearby Charlotte area. Definitely worth every penny. The owners take really good care of the place and do a very good job of making you feel welcome. It was definitely an above average experience for my group overall. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a place on the water.

I enjoy the outdoors, everything about the lake, as well as hosting groups at my home. Grilling, fishing, boating, wakeboarding, surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and even just sitting by a bon fire after a day of chilling by the water are all things I appreciate.
My goal during your stay, is for everyone to experience these activities and enjoy the lake just as much as I do.
