This was the perfect location to celebrate our Grandmother’s 100th birthday! The house and property perfectly accommodated our very large family and we enjoyed every amenity it had to offer. It truly has everything you could ever need. Our family loved spending time at the beach just a short drive away from the house and were able to create the sweetest memories! Communication with Susan, the property manager, was top-notch and she made our stay absolutely seamless! She worked with us to accommodate every single one of our needs. Could not recommend this property enough! Huge thanks to Jack and Susan for making this special weekend happen for our grandma and family! If you’re looking for your next family getaway/reunion, look no further!

Perfect Quick Getaway
Stay was amazing. We had a large group of teenagers that we were exploring the area with. It was close enought to Charlotte and Davidson College that we could easily access everything. At the same time it was spacious enough and provide ample oppurtunity to keep correctly engage teenagers when back on property. Owner/property manager was great as well. She checked in frequently and made sure we had everything needed.

Each family had a floor to themselves and that was definitely a plus.
The property is beautiful and the home is huge.
We truly enjoyed our stay.
I do have to say, the older I get the harder it is to climb the stairs from the lake to the house, but I am grateful for each resting spot made available.

Fantastic!
I rented this home as a place friends & family could stay as well as the venue for my husband's 50th surprise party. It had everything my guests & myself could want. Lots of space to spread out while still allowing for large groups to gather. The teens loved the game room & movie theater. Fully stocked kitchen so you can cook anything you desire.
The only drawback are all the stairs but us old folks managed just fine!
Overall 5 star location & highly recommend.
