Your Own Semi Island Retreat on Lake Norman - Sleeps 22, Hot Tub, Private Dock, 2 Game Rooms, Chef's Kitchen, Fire Pit, Kayaks, 180 Degree Lake Views | Designed for Unforgettable Group Getaways

You'll probably love Emerald Cay if the word "private" actually matters to you — this is an semi-island, with no direct neighbors and open water in every direction. If you want the trip to slow everyone down: the tram to the dock, kayaks in the morning, the hot tub at sunset, the fire pit after dark.

Probably not the right fit if you want to walk to nightlife, or you're optimizing for maximum heads per dollar.

Our Evoke Luxury Properties team is here for you before, during, and after your stay. Whether you need local recommendations, help with an amenity, or want to arrange a special experience, we're just a message away.

We pride ourselves on responsive, attentive service so you can focus on enjoying your getaway.

Emerald Cay sits within Lake Norman State Park - a tranquil, gated setting just 40 minutes north of Charlotte. Despite the peaceful seclusion, you're minutes from excellent dining, shopping, and local experiences.

Dine: Twisted Oak American Bar & Grill (steaks, seafood, craft cocktails) · Fresh Chef Kitchen (fine dining) · The Quarter (New Orleans-inspired) · Sorrento Pizzeria (Italian classics)

Explore: Southern Distilling Company (tours & tastings) · Red Buffalo Brewing Co. (local craft beer) · Fort Dobbs State Historic Site · Lake Norman State Park trails

The perfect balance - complete privacy on your own island, with Charlotte's world-class restaurants, vineyards, and outdoor adventures all within easy reach.
