Annual Cousins Weekend
We hosted our annual cousin weekend. The location was perfect! The pictures didn't do the home justice as the in person experiecne was top tier. It was perfect for our weekend. It was 12 of us in the group and all 12 of us were impressed with the home. Dana responded quickly to any questions and gave very detailed information the day of our arrival. The home offered everything you possibly needed from cooking seasoning, utensils, water, and some snacks. The plus was the 2 kitchens. I highly recommend this home and we definitely look forward to staying again in the future.

Beautiful, great for family celebrations
So the place is even more beautiful than the pictures communicate. it's also on a stunningly beautiful piece of property. Let's get the stairs out of the way to begin with, as they've been much talked about: Anyone with a reasonable level of fitness is going to manage them just fine; if you have folks with canes or walkers you'll need a different space. They were not a problem for anyone in our family (7 of us age 20 - 57). The 2 kitchens made cooking our Thanksgiving meal an absolute pleasure. The abundance of board games and other games (like shuffleboard, cards, foosball and darts) kept our kids entertained throughout the entire stay! Communication from the owner was best in class! The beds were supremely comfortable. The bathrooms are immaculate and the master bath is a study in luxury. Truly a chef's kitchen with roaster pans, soup pots, every size frying pan, wok, appliances, platters, wine and martini glasses, even copper mugs for moscow mules. A whole set of plastic dishwear for littles. Great neighborhood. Thirteen minutes from an awesome grocery store (which was shocking given how remote and secluded the property feels!) Great back deck where we all stood and talked and watched the stars one night. So beautiful. Pristine laundry room with full size machines. Sadly the lake was unusually low (drought) during our visit, so we did not get to take the kayaks out, but we're planning to come back in the summer. Perfect family memory-making space. Book it!!! :)

Best Girls Trip Ever
My 6 friends and I had the absolute best time here. We spent a Thursday-Sunday here and enjoyed every second of it. Dana is an amazing host with great communication and great instruction on check in and check out process. We enjoyed our nights by the fire and just hanging out in the beautiful backyard! We woke up every morning well rested in the super comfy beds. If I’m ever in the area again I will be staying here!

Great place for a family gathering
The pictures of this place certainly don't fully convey the beauty of this house - especially the shared areas. The owners had certainly focused on ensuring there were plenty of activities supported no matter the interest of each individual: Darts, video games, shuffleboard, foosball, board games (the redneck one is great), books, kayaks, paddle boards, and the list goes on. On the practical side, there wasn't anything they didn't have covered when we arrived. Coffee makers - both types, crock pots, openers, toaster, cookware: all the stuff that 2 full kitchens would hold. Garbage bags, laundry detergent, starter paper towels, hand soap and other nice little personal touches like some light snacks & water also provided. We had a family of 12 with a couple of people with some mobility challenges. Although the steep incline that this house is built on absolutely makes it the scenic environment it is, we did need to setup a couple of chairs along the pathway down to the dock in particular to allow those individuals to take a break. It's a little steeper than any pictures will show. The parking area also sits above the house - roughly level with the roof line, then a bit of a decent. That one is slightly easier with the wide steps and not as long of a distance. On the other hand, several us living in flat land areas loved the workout. The driveway is a bit narrow with that same type of drop. Picturesque Easy check in with programmed lock and plenty of instructions.

Beautiful home
Home was amazing with plenty of room and fun for our entire family. Everything you needed was there and labeled/easy to find. Communication with owners was great and they provided lots of detailed instructions for their property. The owners did a great job of setting up their home for our arrival and helping us to feel welcome. Our kids loved all of the game options downstairs as well. My only advice is that this property has a very steep/quirky driveway as well as stairs that lead down to the home and more stairs that lead to the lake. This home is not for anyone that has mobility issues. The stairs were a beast for our family-but we probably lost several pounds and toned our legs during our stay! 😂

Friends and I have rented multiple houses over the years and this one was great. So many small details that you often struggle with other rentals. Everything just worked... internet was great for a few of us to work, beds were comfortable, plenty of linens, small touches that really separated this house from others. The owners truly wanted to make this a great stay for us and they succeeded. Thank you for an excellent stay!

Perfect for a Getaway, Celebration, or Both!
This was such a perfect, gorgeous, clean, fun, and very accommodating house that will exceed all of your vacation needs. Our group spent the weekend here to attend a close-by wedding, but we were also celebrating a birthday and the New Year that weekend, so although it was a fun weekend, it was also very hectic. Dana and Wayne made the entire process - from booking, to checking in, to checking out - so incredibly easy. Being hosted by them was truly a breath of fresh air. The house is even more beautiful in person and the view of the lake can't be justified by photos. It's large enough to give visitors the space that they need but also has very welcoming & cozy common spaces for gathering, in addition to the numerous games & activities offered. If you're reading this and you're the person booking this house for your group, you NEED to call dibs on the king bed and the stone shower with heated lamps. Book it now!

Thanksgiving Family Stay
My family had an great experience at this home on Lake Norman. We decided to gather the family for a destination Thanksgiving and this home provided everything we needed and more. The kitchen provided a full range of cooking and baking for the family. The downstairs entertainment room was perfect for the teenagers and family time. We did not use the lake, but the home offers recreational toys for the dock and water. The driveway and stairs were intimidating for some, as it is steep and awkward. On the top floor, the railing for the stairs conducive for toddlers. The home was in immaculate condition and the owner responded quickly to all of our questions. I highly suggest this property.

Wonderful home for a small reunion
We had a wonderful weekend staying in this gorgeous and comfortable home. We easily fit 3 families for a total of 6 adults and 5 kids. Each family had their own bathroom and each adult couple had their own bedroom with a king or queen bed. We loved using the kayaks, stand up paddle board, PacMan arcade game, fire pit, grill, and well-appointed kitchen. The layout of the home was great—kiddos spent a lot of time playing on the lower level while grownups chatted and relaxed on the main floor. One word of caution: The steep driveway and the many steps from the driveway to the front door and from the house to the lake (mentioned by others in their reviews) are no joke.

We so enjoyed our stay! House had everything we needed! Lots of space. Loved the video game / shuffle board and darts. Comfy beds. Plenty of towels. It is a trek from the street to the house but if you plan on unloading and staying it’s all good! There is a full time renter on the grounds but we didn’t see them the whole weekend. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place for a family to act like kids.
The property was just amazing. Words can not express how I felt when I first walked in because the pictures did not do the house any justice. The house was in immaculate condition. It was very spacious where we could all be upstairs, downstairs, or outside. We enjoyed the dining area where we were all able to sit at the table and have dinner and just enjoy each other and conversation. All supplies that you needed to cook were in the kitchen and if you wanted something specifically, there was a grocery story near by. Downstairs was a bit hit with the projector screen and games for us all to enjoy. We felt like we were kids again playing Ms. Pac-man and playing games against each other. Outside at the fire pit is where we spent time telling stories, laughing and eating smores. The area was well lit and had plenty of wood to burn. The walk to the dock was amazing. Some of us sat on the dock and just watched the water while we talked. My family said this is the place to be and we will come back again and tell our friends about the place. Again, I can't get over how neat and clean the place was when we arrived.
