Tranquility Cove - Beautiful Lakefront Apartment
It was situated on a beautiful lake in a beautiful neighborhood. Everything we needed was there. I would highly recommend staying at Patricia’s Airbnb. She was an excellent hostess.

Non-smoking Lakefront apartment
Blin's place was spotless, comfortable and the view was stunning - Fall leaves were in full color while we were there. The bathrooms were spacious and clean - the water was hot with good pressure. The king bed in the master was supportive and comfortable. I heard no complaints about the bunk room beds the kids used. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, bowls and cooking utensils. All appliances worked well. It was muddy while we were there so we rolled up the light colored rugs so we didn't accidentally stain them. We had our dog with us and there was plenty of area for him to run and the streets were quiet for a walk along the road. There are steps all the way to the water which will be amazing for lake access in the summer. As it was cold while we were there and the lake was still recovering from Hurrican Helene, we did not get in the water. All in all it was a great place to stay.

Sail Away Suite
Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite

Private Hideaway on Lake Norman
We loved our stay and Jeff was amazing! It was the perfect place to stay for our few days in town. Thank you for everything and providing such a wonderful place to call home for a few days!

Lakefront Serenity
We had a wonderful stay. The airbnb is super cute and cozy. It was beautiful to wake up to the sunrise over the lake. It's convenient to get to and from off the major roadway. I look forward to coming back again the next time I'm visiting family!

Waterfront apartment near dt Davidson
Wow! What an amazing experience on Lake Norman. From taking the canoe out with our pups to roasting s’more’s by the campfire, there is so much to do without needing to leave the site. Lore was one of my favorite hosts I’ve ever met. She was kind, flexible and welcoming. We appreciated the details put into the interior and exterior of the space. We felt right at home. Being from the city we walked to downtown and ate at Barrell & Fork. It was also an awesome experience! Downtown Davidson a bit north also has a cute walkable downtown. Jetton Park is a short drive with an excellent big loop to walk your dogs. Hello Sailor is another gem on the water serving local oysters. We had the best time. Lore is amazing and I hope we will be able to return in the near future. Thank you! L & K

Tranquil Lakefront Carriage House with Dock
The apartment is beautiful. We had a peaceful stay. I liked the big windows overlooking the lake. I enjoyed picnicking on the dock and kayaking around the cove.

Waterfront Penthouse | Fun for Families&Long Stays
We were there for a wedding to the Ivory Barn and the location was perfect. We loved the porch. It was ideal for what we needed.

The Birdhouse at Lake Norman
Dear Robert and Charleen, Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. The Bird House is truly a gem, and you are blessed to own it. The pictures on Airbnb do not do the house justice. As I entered on Wednesday, my breath was taken away; the views of the lake and natural light filled every room. The beauty of the natural surroundings, together with the well-thought-out interior design and appointments, made our experience one to remember. My mother and I truly had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving. You had very clear notes regarding how to work everything (the blinds). Clearly, a lot of thought was put into what would make guests comfortable (lap blankets and a variety of lighting with dimmers), and all of the items one would use at home were in the kitchen, enabling us not to have one worry during our stay. We hope to return during warmer weather to enjoy the outdoors.

Gorgeous Lakefront Home in "No Wake Zone"
Beautiful location. Quiet surroundings. Comfy living room. Newly remodeled main level and master baths! Hosts are excellent communicators. They accommodated our request for Christmas decorations and did an amazing job! Thank you!

Peninsula Haven on the Lake
This home is beautiful, well laid out and perfectly equipped for a relaxing stay. The location is ideal, with beautiful views of Lake Norman in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to shopping and great restaurants. Giovanni is an excellent host who responds quickly and kindly.

Modern LKN lakefront home on private cove w/ dock!
Steve was a great host. His home was spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and gorgeous. The main room was open, inviting and beautifully decorated with a peaceful view of the lake. We enjoyed the outdoor grill and really appreciated the thoughtful heat dish in the cool weather. Everything was top of the line and we would love to stay again.

Peaceful Retreat on Lake Norman /Pontoon Boat ava.
Awesome! Looked exactly like the pictures and when I needed assistance the response time was awesome. Very peaceful and beautiful. The master bedroom is beautiful, private movie room is amazing and the space is great. Also pretty close to stores if you need to make a run.

Shady Shoals - Lakefront; Dock; Kayak; State Park;
Beautiful home with an incredible dock. The fenced in porch was awesome. Thank you for accommodating our displaced group last minute.

*LAKE DAZE* Waterfront Lake Retreat
Caroline was great .. we came from western NC after the hurricane.. we had limited ability to contact and she responded right away and followed up via text when we arrived .. we received power earlier than we thought and she credited the remainder of our stay . House is perfect for two or small family .. backyard is relaxing with a dock to sit out on and the neighborhood is nice .. beautiful walking track directly across from the house… location location location and a super accommodating host

Lake Front 4bd/3ba sleeps 12! w/private pool
What a wonderful stay we had. The photos do not do it justice; the house is gorgeous and you immediately feel at home. The pool and lake combination meant we had everything we needed! We will absolutely be back. John proactively brought an outside fan when the temperatures got hot outside, and along with the beautiful shade from the deck it was perfect. Kids and adults and our pup had an absolutely perfect stay.

Lake Norman Waterfront Condo Retreat Dog Friendly
Loved staying at this condo complex. Beautiful boardwalk on the lake that we walked on each day, close to the wedding venue we had events at and accessible to main road with plenty of restaurants and stores. Katie was very responsive as well and made the check in/check out process easy. We had a dog with us who would bark when someone was walking by outside which was out of character for him and a neighbor did submit a noise complaint. Katie was great about it, asking us to be more mindful but letting us know barking from a passerby is accepted but excessive barking won’t be if it continues. So if you plan to stay here and have a hyperactive dog, you may want to plan for how you’ll best control the situation (shut the blinds if you leave or don’t let them access the front bedroom where they can see the front walkway). Thanks for a great stay Katie!

The Haven - Lake Norman Vacation Rental w/ Views
Great place on the second floor with a good view from the deck. Well stocked with all the little things you might need in the kitchen, bathroom full of shampoo and body wash supplies. and all very clean. 3 big bedrooms- very comfortable! TVs in all the rooms. Nice small pool a few steps away. And a really nice restaurant on the water also a few steps away! Good stay!

Lakefront Condo on Lake Norman!
Kim's home was amazing! Fully stocked, very clean, and felt just like home. Kim was also very responsive and accommodating. I look forward to staying here again when visiting Davidson.

Aqua Vista by SoCharm | Waterfront Condo
Condo was just as described and exactly what we needed. It was clean and well appointed. We appreciate all their efforts. Keyless entry was easy to use and helpful.

Cozy Davidson Lake Norman escape
One of the best decisions we made on a recent trip to NC was staying for 3 nights at Desiree’s lakefront condo in Davidson. Located on an inlet of beautiful Lake Norman this 2-bedroom rental exceeded our expectations. Curbside parking and ground-level access made entering and exiting the property quick and easy. And the 2-bedroom arrangement allowed us to put our 4-year old granddaughter to bed early while we stayed up to take in the view of the harbor or watch our favorite shows on the large-screen TV in our bedroom. We also enjoyed eating breakfast on the back porch and cooling off in the nearby pool. We did not have the time to enjoy all of the amenities the rental offered, but we made good use of the kitchen (with dishwasher and utensils) and the washer-dryer. Desiree’s lakefront property was a wise investment and contributed significantly to our enjoyment during our stay. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone seeking a quiet, private, and relaxing retreat!

Harborside Getaway - Waterfront Lake Norman Condo
Great waterfront condo in Harborside. Tastefully decorated in light neutral colors with upgraded kitchen and furnishings. Perfect central location for exploring Lake Norman and North Charlotte. Birkdale shops and restaurants only 7 min drive. Enjoyed the patio views of harbor and walking on boardwalk.

LKN Dream Condo - Lake Norman Vacation Rental
From check in to check out, our stay was perfect. The mornings were peaceful, watching the sun rise off the lake and evenings enjoyable watching the sunset. Our son enjoyed spending his days fishing off the walking deck and the local wine bar was a must have. There was also plenty to do within a short 1 mile drive. Katie’s place was clean, well furnished, comfortable and made our holiday trip a great experience.

Lakeview 3 Bedroom Condo On Lake Norman
Aida was extremely responsive and communicative. The location of the condo is perfect, right on Lake Norman.
