We had a great stay. The property is as described in the listing. The house was clean, well maintained, and properly stocked with all amenities. The location is tucked back into a very quiet cove. We kept our boat on the dock for 17 days without any issues. The water is deep even though the lake was low. Our host always communicated promptly if we had any questions, usually within minutes. The only complaint I have is that we didn’t get to stay longer. I highly recommend this property.

Host was very accommodating & responsive. The cottage was very clean & VERY well stocked! Beautiful, peaceful setting for a perfect getaway! It was a little chilly during our stay, so we didn’t use any of the water toys provided but did enjoy having our morning coffee out on the dock and watching the sunrise over Lake Norman! HIGHLY recommend this cottage!!
