3 Bdrm / 2 Bath Lakefront Bungalow with Amazing Views.
Welcome to the Blue Bungalow at LKN!
Relax and enjoy beautiful Lake Norman in your own private lake front bungalow with an amazing two-level dock and large waterfront yard. Back porch expands the entire house as you enjoy amazing sunset views—making you want to come back time and again!
Tons of amenities await as you and your family relax and lounge the day away. Put your feet up and have a toast with friends from the rooftop dock. Enjoy the kids kayaks, a paddle board, lily pad, waterfront shaded hammocks, corn hole set, adult and kid bicycles, scooters, and a pool table. We also have a Weber Grill for grilling your favorite summer dinners and many porch tables and chairs for seating friends and family.
Our simple and cozy bungalow has been completely renovated and remodeled with a new kitchen, paint and flooring throughout, new bathrooms, lighting fixtures and Santorini Blue paint to make it the "Blue Bungalow."
The home boasts three (3) bedrooms that can accommodate up to 10 people—perfect for getaways and family retreats. One of the bedrooms is specifically designed for kids (bunkbeds, toys, games, books, DVDs and a TV).
All bedrooms have Roku Smart TVs. So…bring your Netflix, Hulu, Disney, etc. passwords and sign in like you’re at home. Wireless internet is FREE throughout home and on the dock.
In the evenings while enjoying cocktails and sunsets, you can sit by the backyard fire pit while making s'mores or enjoy the upper deck of the dock watching boaters go by as the sun sets in the expanse of a Carolina blue sky.
Plenty of seating and umbrellas are on the upper dock as well as the porch overlooking the lake from the house. Our property has a large backyard for hours of throwing ball or tossing frisbee with your kids or beloved dog.
There is also a specifically designed, raised pebble rock patio area in the backyard that is flat and perfect for hours of corn-hole matches or pitching a tent(s) to camp outside overnight, while listening to the sounds of crickets and lake waves.
**For 4th of July renters…you will have an amazing show of fireworks in the cove to watch from the dock. There are many individuals all around our large cove area and lake that put on amazing firework shows. It is a must-see event as many boaters come to our cove area to anchor and watch the 360 degree firework displays!
Linens/bath towels are provided. We have beach towels available and will provide one towel for each guest for the duration of your stay.
Kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, cookware, utensils, coffee maker with reusable filter, Keurig, and also kid-friendly plates, cups, utensils. (Please contact us if you need to know specifics of what is available.) We also have a set of dog bowls and mat for your furry family member!
Laundry room has washer and dryer. There is also a small freezer for extra storage (for meats, ice, popsicles, etc.).
We also provide life jackets for all shapes and sizes (including a dog life jacket) that can be used at your own risk, and coolers for enjoying cold beverages on the dock or on your boat rental*.
*There are several boat rental places in the area for you to rent any type of watercraft. A tie up with boat bumpers and protective rub rails is available for your use on our floating dock during your stay.
You can rent or bring your own boat, drop in at Beatty’s Ford Access and easily navigate back to our dock in less 8 minutes. Drive time from the Blue Bungalow to Beattys Ford Access is less than 5 minutes.
Beattys Ford Access also has a beautiful park and an amazing splash pad for your kids if they need a change of scenery.
The Blue Bungalow is conveniently located to area attractions, including restaurants, grocery stores, salons, Triangle's best butcher store, etc. Uptown Charlotte is right down Hwy 16 and only 35 minutes away. Birkdale Village in Huntersville is 20 minutes away, providing wonderful shopping, movie theatre and restaurants. Carowinds Amusement Park is 40 minutes away…an easy interstate drive.
We hope you will find our simple, Blue Bungalow a beautiful place to relax and unwind from the busy world.

Summer vacation on the lake!
We had a very nice time staying on Lake Norman. We had three teenagers with us. We rented a pontoon boat for a couple days and the kids loved going tubing. The boat was delivered and picked up right on the dock. The dock was our favorite spot as it is two stories with plenty of furniture to sit on and a extra large sunbrella for shade from the hot sun. We stayed through the Fourth of July and by far had the best view of the fireworks and all the boats in the cove lit up the lake. We also loved and enjoyed the swinging two seater swing right on the dock. It was and peaceful week. Leah our host was very accommodating and pleasure to work with!

NASCAR weekend
Our group ages 14-74 enjoyed our stay this weekend! The house had a beautiful view of the lake! The home was very clean and Leah was quick to reach if needed. The neighborhood is quiet, clean, and safe. The views of the lake cannot be beat and the two story dock was the best for sunset viewing. We chose this lake home to enjoy before and after the NASCAR races. It was a perfect escape from the crowds!!

PGA Championship visit
The property is as described with a couple of wonderful surprises. The dock and deck on the water is a beautiful work of art. We hung out there a couple of nights. The deck around the back of the house is older, but well laid out. The house itself easily handled 4 adults and a little dog. Leah was a great host and handled our requests professionally and promptly. We are already talking about coming back in the future. We recommend.

Perfect Stay
Working with Leah was wonderful! Overall, it was a fantastic stay—probably the best VRBO experience I have ever had. What struck me most was how well-equipped the house was. Leah thought of everything: from a fully stocked kitchen with all the essentials and some delightful extras, to cozy and comfortable bedding that made us feel right at home.We stayed during Christmas, and to our delight, Leah had put up a beautiful Christmas tree, adding a festive and warm touch to our holiday. Every detail seemed to be considered, including helpful local tips that made our stay even more enjoyable. Leah's attentive communication and warm hospitality truly set this stay apart from others. I highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a comfortable, well-equipped, and welcoming retreat. I can't wait to return!

Enjoyable Thanksgiving on Lake Norman
Both house & host were amazing. Well stocked kitchen & a seemingly endless supply of recreational equipment with enough toys & games to entertain all ages. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, which is great if you have children (no need to worry about heavy traffic). We can't wait to book again during the summer so we may take full advantage of the two story dock & the plethora of water toys. Highly recommend this property.

Wonderful stay
We had an absolute wonderful stay at Lake Norman. The house was perfect. Clean, well stocked, and comfortable. Leah had a welcome basket with goodies for us when we arrived. We spent the month of April at the Blue Bungalow. The house met all of our expectations and the hosts were quick to respond to any questions or needs. The guys had a great month of fishing and having the dock was extra nice for easy access to the boat. We loved sitting on the deck to enjoy the awesome view. We even got some great sunset pictures from the top level of the dock. We definitely hope to stay again. We were able to meet the owners, Leah and Shawn, when they came over to take care of the yard. They are super people. We truly enjoyed meeting them. And the cherry blossoms were beautiful. We loved our time at Lake Norman.

I would recommend this place to everyone! Great location on the quiet west side of Lake Norman. We live in Charlotte and needed a little getaway. We stayed at the Blue Bungalow for four days and wish we had the time to stay for another couple days! This is a beautiful property and location with incredible views. The home was so comfortable and peaceful and we had a stress free check-in. The rental is decorated perfectly and it was very clean!! The home is stocked with everything you could need and then some. Cozy and comfortable beds and there are lots of toys and items for playing in the lake. We especially enjoyed riding the bicycles through the neighborhoods, taking evening walks, fishing and sitting by the fire pit. The two-story boat dock is amazing and star gazing and counting shooting stars late at night on its top deck was a real highlight. Our host was so nice and accommodating and was very responsive and easy to communicate with when we wanted to know about using the firewood we didn’t know was provided. We had an awesome time! So peaceful, quiet and quaint. We will definitely be back!

Christmas in Carolina
We rented this the week of Christmas as it was close to another family member’s house, so location was great for us. It is at the end of a road, so minimal traffic. It has a beautiful view of the lake. It is an older home/cabin, but has been updated some. The host was able to accommodate an early check in which was appreciated. The host was also very responsive with any of the minor issues we had. A lot of necessities were also included and available which was nice. There was a slight musty odor to the place which was improved with some air fresheners. We didn’t use the deck much and did not use the pier or lake due to it being December. The beds were comfortable. Overall it is a nice lake cottage that I would rent again.
