Our family had an amazing week reconnecting with each other in this beautiful house right on Lake Norman. From the spacious interior and plenty of places to sleep to the pool, pool house, and boat house, there were enough places for everyone to enjoy our time together. The kitchen was equipped with everything we could possibly need, the beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood was perfect for morning runs or walks. We especially loved the kayaks and the pool. We would stay here again!

The Badger House....hot...hot....hot

House is huge, well appointed and clean. So large that there were a couple of rooms that our family of 12 never saw. Speaking of large.....biggest private pool I have ever seen....complete with diving board. Also made use of the private dock for our pontoon rental. There were a couple of heatwave-related issues that the host's dealt with in short order. Overall, house was a huge hit with our family.

We had our kids and grandkids with us and between the beautiful pool with slide and diving board and the pool house and dock, everyone had a great time!

Great Time on The Lake

We had such a great time at this lake house! We were meant to go to Asheville, but due to the damage from the hurricane, we had to switch plans last minute and we are so glad we did. We had a family of 17 ranging from 4 to 75 and everyone had the best time. From the pool, to the kayaking, to the fishing, the rented pontoon, we had no reason to go anywhere! Great communication with the owners, and now the whole family can’t wait for round two at Lake Norman.

Wonderful Family Time

We had a great week at Badger House. There was plenty of space to spread out and little nooks if you needed a quiet place to read. The basement with it's 2 bedrooms, living room and kitchen worked out great for my son and his 2 young children. The pool was awesome and is the largest one we've ever had at a rental. The outdoor restroom and shower came in very handy. We rented a pontoon for the week, so we spent most of our time either on the lake or in the pool. The owner was very responsive when we had an issue with the refrigerator. Overall, a smooth week and a wonderful time with our entire family of 14.

The house is beautiful with everything you need. There were 15 of us ranging from 82 to 2 years old. The outdoor space was the best we’ve seen from a huge pool with slide and diving board and plenty of spaces to be out of the sun but still poolside.

Very clean, check in was really easy, all the amenities were available and organized, little things like having spices in the kitchen, some toiletries and showering items, Roku TVs were a hit, pool was super nice and warm! Only feedback is the top railing looks like it could be tightened (is a little wobbly), add pool lights, and maybe more / better / organized fishing gear.

The pool is very large and the diving board and slide were such a hit! The outdoor grills were very clean! Everything we needed was provided for in the kitchen! Beds were very comfortable and the dock was a great place for the grandchildren to fish. Add a pontoon boat and the week was complete.

Fantastic vacation house. Five stars.

House, pool, neighborhood and lake are beautiful. Owner sent a comprehensive list of area attractions and amenities, as well as detailed checkout instructions. Both were appreciated. House is very clean and well-kept. Multiple sitting areas for people to find a little alone time for reading. Communication with owner was excellent. A windstorm knocked over a piece of pool furniture causing it to break (always get the damage insurance!) and Emily couldn’t have been more understanding and polite. One of the best, if not THE best VRBO, we’ve booked. we would definitely stay here again.

The 2 kitchens were amazing and well stocked! We cooked in breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had everything we needed! We enjoyed the outdoor bar seating at the railing, a really nice place to eat! The pool was a favorite of all! It was clean and a great size! We loved it! We spent 8 hrs in the pool each day! We loved the pool house! I mean talk about convenience, we stocked the refrigerator with everything we needed. The lake was lovely, so warm and easy to get into from the beautifully carpeted dock! We also fished daily from the dock and caught some big catfish. Everything was thought of in this house and we will definitely rent again! Emily was lovely to work with!!

Another great August vacation!

So I have to state that I am a beach and ocean lover. We’ve done the beach from NJ to NC. But my husband grew up on the Delaware River with motor boats and water skis. Our grandkids were suddenly old enough to try water sports (8-13) so we decided to try Lake Norman. The house was great for the 10 of us plus my sister and brother in law and her daughter and husband. Added up to 14! Since it was our first visit to Lake Norman, we had no idea of the size and location of the house. It worked out well for skiing, knee-boarding and tubing. Hardly any other boats around. The kids enjoyed the kayaks and fishing off the dock. The adults and kids loved the pool and the pool house was a great place to sit with a good book. Being one of the major cooks for the week along with my daughter and daughter-in-law, we loved that the kitchen was so well equipped! Best house yet. My husband showed he can still ski though the trick skis from his teenage years was a bridge too far. My son proved he could still slalom. Yes, it was a great week.
