As advertised!

Property was beautiful, perfect for a family vacation. Something for everyone, gaming area/bar in bottom level was awesome! Plenty of space for meals in or out. Enjoyed floating off the dock area. Sporting equipment in great shape (kayaks were used multiple times). Kitchen was very functional and had everything needed for any meal. Ice maker in lower level was HUGE! Thanks again Toni for all the communication you had with us during our trip. It is evident that you really care that your guests enjoy their stay! We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Lake Norman.

Family time at the lake

Everything was wonderful. The communications were clear and timely. Toni is very friendly and helpful. The house was on a great street with a beautiful view. It was well stocked for cooking and relaxing. It kept everyone entertained with the water equipment, game room, and my son enjoyed the hot tub one night. There were board games and yard games. We had spaces to spend family time together but also had the room to spread out. It is a little drive to the stores and restaurants but if you stock up you don't have to go anywhere very often. We hit a couple of our favorite restaurants and tried a couple of new ones. We can't wait to return.

The Perfect Lake getaway

My wife and I enjoyed a great long weekend at the Saunderosa house for our anniversary trip. The house has a great location in a quiet neighborhood with a perfect view of the water. Lots of outdoor seating perfect for sipping on something good whether it be dawn or dusk. The house really did feel like a home and we settled in quickly. We will definitely be back!

Impressive house - pics dont do it justice

Fantastic house. Areas have been updated since the pictures were taken. For example the TV next to the bar has been replaced to a flat screen. Games were fun in the basement, ladies loved the hot tub, great seasoned wood for the fireplace for the could cold days. Dock was great, my only suggestion is can you heat the lake water so the fish will bite regularly? LOL. Just kidding, everything was perfect with this house. Thanks so much!

Relaxing Stay at Lake Norman

The hosts (in particular, Toni) were easy to reach and responsive to all questions. The property was amazing and well-stocked with pretty much anything that anyone could want. The outdoor space, with all of the various decks, were really nice to have as well - lots of options. The furniture, especially the couches on the first floor and bed in the MBR, were super comfortable. Clearly, the owners take a lot of pride in ensuring that all tenants have a great stay. They ensured that there were extra dishes, silverware, pots, pans, etc, so you never had to waste time cleaning dishes until you were ready to depart. The game room was also really nice with all of the things there to keep someone busy, especially if the weather was too cold or rainy. I personally enjoyed the video game arcade - brought me back to the 70s for a little while. One comment about the area - Cawtawba, where the house is located, is in a pretty rural area, so be prepared to drive 30 minutes or so if you need to go grocery shopping or go to a good restaurant (which are numerous in nearby Mooresville). That said, it's peaceful and quiet in that location, other than the occasional small airplane that might be driving down the road to go to their homeowners local hangar (kind of fun, in its own way). Overall, just a very nice time in a very accommodating and well-appointed home. Thanks!

Fantastic

We had such a fun week at this lake house. Our group ranged in age from 12 to 95 and Saunderosa offered something for everyone. The house is situated in a quiet cove, perfect for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. The game room was a bonus during rainy periods and we appreciated the many games available. Everyone thought the beds were really comfy, the kitchen was completely stocked, and the variety of deck chairs and tables gave everyone plenty of space to be outside in sun or shade. The house is obviously well maintained and was immaculately clean. I can't say enough good things about this home--one of our favorite vacation spots ever.
