Upon Arrival:
As a host, I like to offer basic essentials to all guests who allow me the opportunity to host. I provide the following consumables for all guests to prevent from guests having to buy those pesky items you might only use once or twice during a stay.
- Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Soap
- Dishwasher Pods

- Salt & Pepper
- Various Spices
- Popcorn packets

My interaction with guests:
As a host, I firmly believe in providing exceptional service to all guests who stay in my home and I do not use any form of automated messages or canned responses like other hosts. I genuinely enjoy the hospitality portion of this industry and want my guests to feel welcome and meet the needs of their stay. After providing service to hundreds of families during my time as a host, I can confidently say each family or grouping is unique in their own way. While automation allows for hosts to scale, I am more concerned with the service provided and ensuring my guests needs are met.

I am available 24 hours a day via message, text or call to address any questions, concerns or matters that surface before, during or after your stay :)

Stay in Early September
Ryan has done an incredible makeover on the property. House and amenities were fantastic and he went above and beyond to make the house feel like a home for a week. Yes he does have the necessities so you don’t have to bring everything with you which is great but if you run out the Food Lion is only 5 minutes away. Enjoyed bringing out dogs and loved the kayaks!

Family vacation
Great place for a family vacation! We loved to be able to go on the lake paddle boarding or kayaking or swimming, sitting by the fire in the evening. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and appliances to accommodate big group (we had 9 adults and a baby). Host was great in communication and responded promptly to our messages. The only thing that I would suggest, is to have at least 2-3 more adult size life vests for paddling/kayaking, or at least let guests know to bring their own. Overall, great place to stay! Thank you!

This is our second time staying at Ryan’s lake house. It’s so beautiful and clean! Ryan is always responsive and makes sure his guests have everything they need. The lake views are amazing and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. We would hope to book this property anytime we’re in this area. Thank you Ryan!

Lake Vacation - Denver NC
I have stayed at several places using VRBO and this host was one of the very best I have experienced. Ryan's communication was prompt and he was very attentive to every need/question, ensuring the stay was perfect. We even had a welcoming bottle of wine waiting for us. The house was spotless and very well stocked. The location on the lake and backyard was perfect. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards that come as part of the rental. We had a wonderful relaxing week at the lake.

Superb Stay; Exactly as Depicted
Book it! This property is CLEAN, easy to find and located on the quiet side of Lake Norman close to everything we needed (grocery, pharmacy, coffee house, marina, etc.). The home is impeccably maintained, and all updates have been expertly done. The openness of the living area and kitchen serves any size group for interaction with views of the lake. The kitchen amenities are of the quality selected for one's personal home, and well-stocked. For this trip, one of us was working--the bedroom with dual monitors made the "office" work exceptionally well. Additionally, we were accompanied by our dog who enjoyed time on the deck or sleeping in front of the expansive windows. For those with pets, the home has hard surfaces and there were no signs of other pet visits -- a HUGE plus and evidence of the cleaning crew's pride in their work! Access to the lake was easy via the dock whether for a personal/rented boat, swimming in the cove, or use of the provided water toys. The covered dock and seating is a bonus for enjoyment. IF there is something needed, Ryan (the owner) is super responsive! We are considering relocation to the area and had loads of questions; Ryan's openness and responsiveness was especially appreciated! We felt we could ask him anything...I think we asked him everything! When booking a property, the most important element to us is the cleanliness and upkeep. This place is CLEAN and WELL-KEPT along with quality furnishings and appliances.

So relaxing!
This was our first trip to Lake Norman and we could not have been happier! This is such a beautiful home! It has everything you need for a relaxing Lake vacation! We loved all of the outdoor areas to gather, enjoy a meal or just relax with a glass of wine. We have rented many vacation properties and Ryan was by far the best! He is very responsive and had wonderful recommendations including to Lake Lyfe to rent a pontoon which he allowed us to keep at his dock. I have already recommended this home to friends and family! Looking forward to returning soon!

Excellent Stay!
We had an excellent stay at this house. Everything is exactly as pictured. The beds were comfortable, the house was spacious and also very clean. Lots of nice new appliances and a large Samsung smart TV in the living room. It’s located in a quiet area so you don’t hear a lot of noise from potential loud boats. There is also lots of outside seating to enjoy different sceneries. Ryan was a superior host that made the process very smooth and also checked in on us the day of check-in, during our stay and as we were heading out. He is incredibly responsive, thoughtful and considerate! You can’t go wrong! I would highly recommend booking this place. We will book here again the next time we are at Lake Norman. Thank you Ryan!
