Lake Escape's Cottage on the Cove

On a quiet, nearly private cove in Terrell, NC is Lake Escape's Cottage on the Cove, a completely renovated lakefront home on Lake Norman. Beautifully landscaped 3 Bedroom ranch, with open concept Kitchen, dining, living room. The front porch is a great place to laze away the days with a cool breeze coming off the lake. The finished garage is heated and cooled and is loaded with games and space to get out of the heat or rain or just spend an evening hanging with the family away from a TV.

The Kitchen / Dining area features white quartz countertops, tiled backsplash, and stainless appliances. We have fully equipped it with quality pots, pans, flatware, dishes, serving ware, utensils, and small appliances. A large fan overhead circulates the air. The large island provides a hub and dining area for up to 8 people. Moving forward of the kitchen dining room is the living room with a grand lake view out the front window, a 65" Samsung Smart TV with Roku, and a sofa bed which opens into a queen size bed for a seventh or eighth guest.

Bedrooms feature a lake vibe with shiplap feature walls, artwork, ceiling fans, lamps, Amazon echo alarm clocks, power points on the night tables. The bedroom closets have hangers and drawers, with a hotel style safe in the master closet. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom with tub - shower. The hall bathroom serves the other two bedrooms and the general area with a stall shower.

The outdoor living space is vast, with a large front porch - 4 rocking chairs, a dining table for 8, and a lovely porch swing. Down the front porch steps is space to hang, grill and enjoy the lake. For the firepit, we provide firewood, six solid Adirondack chairs circle it. Included for you use just steps away is four adult kayaks, one youth kayak, 2 stand up paddle boards, a generous selection of life vests for all sizes, and a bevy of tubes, noodles, ladder golf, Can Jam... with a large grass yard to play. There's two hammocks and tree swing to enjoy the shade. 8 extra Adirondacks stand by for extra guests.

Are you a boater? Rent a boat during your stay from Lake Effects. Bring your own boat or PWC and launch at the McCreery Public launch ramp down the road. Keep it at our private dock. Swim from the dock or wade in via zero entry lake edge. We have thought of everything so you won't need to think about anything but completely enjoying your stay.

Please be aware that the water level at the dock may not be high enough for boat access in the non-summer seasons.

This is our second year of staying here and we LOVE it! Beautiful property with all of the touches. It is in a cove with very little noise, which allowed for peaceful mornings drinking coffee on the porch enjoying the view. Thank you Jessica and Adam!!

Amazing and Relaxing!
This house is a perfect getaway! It has an ideal location, is spotless, and the game room provides hours of fun when you aren't on the lake or at the fire pit. We recommend it highly!

Wonderful Stay!
Our stay at Lake Escape Cottage on the Cove was wonderful. The property owners truly thought of everything that made our stay enjoyable and effortless. The cottage was just as described and very clean. There was so much available on site for our kids. Lake toys were plentiful and the game room came in handy when we were stuck inside due to rain. The water near the dock was more shallow than others places on the lake, however we were able to put our boat on the side with the ladder and everything worked out ok. We would definitely stay at a Lake Escape property again!

Perfect getaway!
We loved that this beautiful home had everything. It was well-stocked, quiet and secluded, and full of fun activities for all ages. We used the cornhole boards, lake toys (kayaks, noodles, etc), fire pit, grill, and more. We really took advantage of the whole property! You can tell the home was not built and renovated to be just a rental — it was renovated like a real home, high quality. Beds were very comfortable, amenities were high-quality and plentiful, and common areas had lots of comfy seating.
