Exceptional amenities

I was in town waiting on a grandbaby to arrive and absolutely loved everything about this condo...convenient location, great views and everything I could need for a comfortable stay including a Vitamix for smoothies. I was alone most of the trip and was 100% comfortable in this neighborhood - so safe and everyone was so friendly! My favorite afternoons were spent napping on the porch overlooking the lake. Walking path was great, too! Really appreciated the attention to detail in the accommodations and the prompt help I received from the host when I needed to extend my stay. Top notch all the way around - will definitely stay here again on our next trip to the area!

New to Lake Norman

We enjoyed Makin’ Memories in your beautiful condo. Everything was perfect. The layout of the condo was very spacious, loved how the condo was decorated and my grandkids loved the pirate room!! The pool was very nice and we enjoyed relaxing in it during the very hot week we were there. We all took advantage of the deck, morning coffee, afternoon snacks and evening cocktails. We loved exploring the areas around the lake. Thank you.

Favorite Cornelius Location!

We travel to Cornelius 5+ times per year and this is absolutely our favorite neighborhood and condo complex to stay in! Super clean condo with comfortable furnishings and wonderful indoor and outdoor spaces, plus a beautiful view of the Lake Norman. The condo is located within close proximity to tons of stores and restaurants and it's an easy drive to nearby towns such as Davidson, Mooresville, and even the Uptown Charlotte area. Unbelievably easy check-in process and prompt response by the property manager when we had a silly question about the TV. Can't wait to be back!

We have been using many VRBO properties for our vacation. I can tell that this condo is clean and updated. The community pool was close and well maintained. It was convenient for us since the restaurants and grocery shops are close from the condo. Our family enjoyed staying there and want to book it for next year again!

We own two units at this property and needed a third to accommodate additional family members who were visiting the area while on their way to see more family overseas. This Lake Escape condo provided our family with beautiful accommodations during their visit. The condo was exactly as described — extremely clean, super comfortable, and most importantly, it contained all the comforts of home (and more). We were extremely impressed and grateful to the hosts for their honesty and hospitality. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and convenient spot on Lake Norman to call home if only for a short while.
