Great time!

Our group of 7 (4 adults and 3 teens) had a great time at Cove Lane! Location was really outstanding. The house was well laid out and we all enjoyed the game room, fire pit and dock. We rented a boat and tube through the rental company and the process was seamless - we had such a wonderful time on the lake! Thank you!

Friends week on the lake

We had 2 families with children and one without in our group, 11 people total. The house had plenty of room for everyone and the basement game room was perfect for the teens. Everyone loved being able to swim and fish right off the dock. There are a few grocery stores and plenty of restaurants nearby that were really convenient. We also spent time in Charolette which was a short drive. It was a great property, we would love to come back to visit!

Summer vacation

The home is in a perfect location and we enjoyed swimming in the lake and the dock. There are some updates/maintenance things that could be done to the home. Also, a good deep clean of the house would do it good especially the basement and under the furniture. The setup of the home was nice to have a full bathroom on each level too.

We'll be back!

What a great stay! Everyone was so easy and wonderful. Everything was clean, as advertised, you name it. Had a few questions on things when we got there, and we got immediate responses via text and everything was resolved. We stayed in January and got a little snow while there, and when the weather forecast showed it might snow, they reached out to us asking if we wanted someone to come spread salt. They were on top of it all-around! We were there during a cold stretch and the downstairs was chillier than upstairs, but plenty of space-heaters were provided. We had a great stay all-around and will be back!

Spacious house with lakefront access!

Overall, great experience. The house was super spacious for 6 adults. Each couple had their own level with a bedroom and bathroom. Would have been equally comfortable with 1 more couple (though in twin beds) and plenty of space for any families with kids. Relatively updated and modern finishes (bathrooms were more updated than photos, so a pleasant surprise) though could use fresh paint. The usual amenities of bathroom towels, toilet paper and kitchen supplies were provided - need to bring shampoo/shower toiletries. Lakefront access with a boat slip was superb - awesome time hanging at the dock and floating in the lake. Game room with Pac-Man and pool table was an added bonus. The house is on the more secluded side of the lake so be prepared to drive 20-30 minutes for nicer restaurants. Convenient access to grocery store and a few food places. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Family Lakehouse Getaway

House is in a great location at the end of a cul-da-sac right on lake Norman. Nice private location with plenty of room and sleeping for about 12. The kitchen is stocked well - even has a bunch of spices available to use, but as a person cooking for a family of 7 - I had a hard time with the size of the pots/pans available. The house was generally clean but there are item I wish had more care taken, such as the primary bedroom bathroom shower stall had pink mold in the corners and needs to be recaulked& there were some dead bugs and spiderwebs. The lower level of the house is a real selling point - pool table, fooseball table, arcade games, puzzle, books and outside on the patio the hot tub. When booking they recommend a boat rental company - that delivers the boats directly to your dock - HIGHLY RECOMMMED. The boat was amazing - we rented it for 3 days and had a blast cruising around the lake and fishing off the boat. Overall was a great experience and would definitely return in the future.

Another Family Summer Vacation

First time to stay at a home on Lake Norman. The lake is great and we rented pontoon boat two days to let the teenagers and the their parents have the fun of tubing. The weather was typical summer time hot and humidity, boat dock at the house got plenty of use for jumping in and floating, the slew where the house is located is quiet with only minor boat traffic (especially the noisy personal water crafts). The game room in the house is excellent with many things for younger generation. The kitchen is good size and the eating arrangement worked out perfectly adults at main table and teenagers at their own table. Nearby services including grocery stores made it easy to restock food etc daily. what with 5 teenagers.

Relaxing stay

The home is located on a secluded lot in a quiet neighborhood. It was very spacious and well equipped. The dock could use some updating, but other than that, the home was well maintained Food and groceries were just a short drive down the rode and there was a local farmers market that we were able to take advantage of. The boat rental was a seamless process. It was there upon our arrival and readily available at the dock. Overall it was a relaxing, family vacation .

Great stay

This is a great house on a quiet cove. We had a small issue with checking in... never received any emails or information to get into the house. The cell phone service isn't good at the house so my wife had to drive a mile away to call. Got the information and from there it was a great Memorial Day weekend. We brought our boat and used it every day. Very convenient having a dock at the house to use. Kids loved the hot tub! The internet speeds could be better but that wasn't our primary reason for going away. The house was clean and very nice.

Great Long Weekend Stay

Our family came from out of state for a long weekend, Labor Day weekend, of wedding events. The rental was the perfect home base for us. We loved waking up to the panorama water view. In between wedding events, our children enjoyed the kayaking, swimming and jumping off the dock, playing with the games in the basement and having a campfire one evening. Only negative comments are the house next to the property has been being built for several years, but appears to not have been worked on in a while. The next-door unfinished home doesn’t affect the beautiful water view from within the home, but it’s definitely “right there” if you are sitting on the small balcony off the one bedroom, sitting on the back deck or looking at the shoreline from the water. It didn’t bother us, because we were there for the wedding weekend and not for a “family vacation” (although staying at the lake house did feel like a mini family vacation!) If they began construction again, that would definitely ruin the peaceful vibe of the lake and lake house. Also, one of the basement bedroom quilts on the bed was stained (although it did appear to be clean).
