About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Cottage in the Cove

The Cottage in the Cove is a charming 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bath home on Lake Norman. This warm and cozy cottage has been freshly remodeled while maintaining its charming character with exposed rock walls in the open floor plan living areas. This quaint area is calling you to grab a book, open the doors to the patio and relax into your own little reading nook.

**Currently, the water level is extremely low.**

This house offers three bedrooms upstairs located above the walkout basement living area. The full bath is located upstairs, which has its own double vanity sink with the most elegant marble countertops and shower/bath combination.

We didn’t forget about the view! This house has a lakeside deck that extends the full length of the home! If you call yourself a grill master, test out the propane grill and enjoy a beautiful sunset around the outdoor firepit or from your private dock. The flow of this house is perfect for a weekend getaway. At the risk of sounding cliché- this home is so homey; it truly does feel like a home away from home.

**Currently, the water level is extremely low.**

Bonus - you are in a quiet cove, but you are minutes away from lake restaurants, golf courses, groceries, and more.

We had such a wonderful stay at The Cottage in the Cove! The cottage was exceptionally clean, beautifully maintained, and truly one of the best stocked places we’ve ever stayed. They thought of everything you could possibly need, which made the visit so relaxing and comfortable.We also loved that it was pet friendly — such a huge bonus for travelers with furry family members. The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and perfect for a getaway.Thank you for such a lovely visit. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared place to stay!

The property was great for pet owners with the fenced in yard. The property was tastefully decorated. Very peaceful setting, never knew their were other homes next door. Only disappointment was there had been a drought so there was no water available for any water activities. No fault of the owner. Could use possibly a blender for making frozen drinks. But other than that the property had everything needed. And leaving the property is challenging with the electric gate, but I understand the owner is working on that. Overall a really nice place to stay. Very peaceful, just what you want on vacation. A place to relax. Host is always available for questions. Enjoyed our stay!

The house was lovely. Outside seating areas need tending, we couldn’t use the grill, and stuff was dropping in our drinks from the underside of the upper deck. We should have been told about the drought, we paid to be on a lake, brought kayaks and fishing gear to use only to find no water at our deck. I feel we should get a credit due to this fact! I would like to return but would definitely be sure to make sure there is water at our lakeside house.

Great place to stay

Owner was communicative from the time I booked the property throught the entire process. Anytime i had questions, he responded promptly and was extremely helpful. Cute house with a lovely backyard space that our dog enjoyed very much. We were very comfortable in the house. Absolutely recommend and would stay there again if we head back to that area.

We had a great stay at this home in Denver! We were there for 5 nights and really appreciated the spacious yard — it was perfect for relaxing outside and a great space for our dogs to run around. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. We’d definitely stay here again on our next trip to the area!

Beautiful Getaway

Away from the rush of the east side of the lake, this property was so amazing for me, my husband and dog to spend a few days! The yard is giant and fully-fenced which was great, and we caught a large mouth bass off the boathouse! Quiet and peaceful, we loved this spot! Plenty of trees and shade in the yard, and the house was charming and very clean.

Great Stay

The property was very nice and exactly how it is described. It was perfect for our family of 3 and could even fit another if needed. It’s a quiet area due to it being located at the end of a long cove so there’s no boat traffic going by. We utilized the large fenced in yard and fire pit every night and loved it. This is great little property for a small family.
