Peaceful Forest Retreat Near Lake Norman — EV Charger, Fire Pit, Art House
Escape to the Forest House - EV Charger - — a quiet, wooded retreat in Mooresville, NC, one of America’s fastest-growing communities. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sleeps up to 6 guests and sits in the peaceful Mills Forest neighborhood, surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty. The Forest House is more than a rental — it’s an evolving Art House Project, curated over seven years by a local general contractor and artist. Every corner has character, from the creative touches throughout the home to the natural forest setting outside your door. The outdoor space is built for relaxing: a fire pit for evening gatherings, a gas grill for cookouts. A taste of country living just minutes from town. Perfect for work travelers and extended stays: the home includes an EV charger, high-speed Wi-Fi, a 50-inch TV with Roku streaming, and keyless self check-in. Sunday check-in is available — arrive Sunday afternoon, get settled in, and start your work week from a comfortable home base. Nuclear plant workers, corporate relocations, and remote workers have all made the Forest House their go-to. Lake Norman is at your doorstep: boat access at Stumpy Creek is just 4 minutes away. Lake Norman State Park (hiking, biking, fishing, boat rentals) is 14 minutes out. Cruise the lake on the Lady of the Lake from Queens Landing, 10 minutes away. Mooresville is Race City USA, home to NASCAR teams and shops you can tour. Downtown Mooresville (13 min) is full of boutique shopping, craft breweries, and Southern dining. The historic Merino Mill (15 min) houses antiques, food vendors, and the largest solar rooftop in North Carolina. Whether you’re here for work, exploring a relocation to the area, or just want a tranquil escape near the lake — the Forest House delivers the best of Mooresville living.

Bedrooms were a little tight, and the plastic mattress covers were a little noisy. But over all, everything was fine. We appreciated the filtered water jug. And we continued to admire the paintings and artwork all around.We sat outside and enjoyed the peaceful back yard.

Pictures were accurate although pics of beach were slightly misleading. Did not locate a fire pit. Bedding linens, mattress pads and pillows should be upgraded. Outdoor furniture not maintained. Large camper on edge of driveway was not ideal. Kitchen was well stocked. Large tv was nice for movie-watching. Good communication, quiet neighborhood.
