About this property

Romantic Lake Cottage Retreat ..<br>Perfect for 2<br>

It's a great time of year to be on Lake Norman.. Read first. Then call me so we can talk Eight two eight eight five five four six seven three...
This separate boat house is set up as a hotel suite right on the lake...with a full wrap around deck with shade sails.
This is our guest house, not just a hotel ...It's like being at home ... away from home.
All surfaces are stripped and then being sprayed with an antibacterial...Even laundry is being done with Lysol additive.

A perfect romantic getaway for 2 ...(Maximum guests 2... No exceptions) This is NOT be a home base for all your family.
It is the perfect retreat...private but not far from everything.

It is one large sunny great room with a very open feeling. With vinyl plank flooring and a king size pillow top mattress.
Enjoy the views from the wall of picture windows. Watch the sunsets and moonlight reflect off the water of your own private deck. Our new 50" smart tv with streaming services and Alexa will keep you entertained while in your retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Minutes from Mooresville and all shopping

'Rusty and Brenda were wonderful hosts. We enjoyed the coziness of the one room bungalow so much, we think we could retire in a similar place. Everything you need all in one big room- fabulous! I found the view out all the windows my favorite part of the stay.
'With the cleanliness of the place and the smell of the towels I felt like I was home rather than in a hotel'
'We truly enjoyed our stay... We did not want for a thing.... This cove is quiet and filled with nature...From the hummingbirds to the blue heron. I have never seen my husband unwind and relax so quickly. We hated to leave'

'All your little extra touches were greatly appreciated. Thank you for all your hospitality and kindness'

We thoroughly enjoyed the boathouse. The place is decorated just right . It is a perfect getaway for 2 people. Your hospitality is wonderful and not overwhelming. I'll be sure to pass your info along to anyone I know coming to Lake Norman'
