House was very clean and in a great location. Norman lake is wonderful and the family enjoyed swimming at the dock. Wouldn’t recommend for small children with the number/type of steps in the house and grounds. Dishwasher wasn’t working well, maybe filter is clogged but food was just redeposited and the land scape lighting (lower half out to the dock) was not lighting. It would help to have a copy of the quick start guide to understand the controls to the hot tub.

What a great place to stay with a group of friends over the Fourth of July! The check in/out process was easy and straightforward. The boat rental was so accommodating even when we decided the day of check in to rent it for our stay. The house was exactly as expected and so clean. Really awesome property!

Great location and beautiful house!

House is in a great location and overall we had a great time. The stairs can be challenging for little ones and elderly. We were disappointed that the hot tub and the gas fireplace were not working during our stay. When we arrived at 4 pm the cleaning staff was just finishing and might have felt rushed. There were things in the house that was not cleaned, but we stiff had a great time and look forward to going back to Lake Norman.

Great Lake Norman inlet, quiet and peaceful.

The property was fantastic! I invited my siblings and their families from around the country to meet my family there for a vacation. It worked out well. The Charlette airport was only 40 minutes away which made transpiration easy. We brought our boat and spent every day on the Lake. Much better than the ocean, no sand!
