Apartment in Mooresville
5 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviewsTranquility 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.

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

5 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviewsNon-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.

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

This apartment is spacious and comfortable. Nice view and patio. Quick drive to Davidson Main Street. Close to highway. Nice touches like plenty of coffee, tea, trial size toiletries. Wi-Fi worked great. Host responded quickly and I was happy that they didn’t proactively send us a ton of messages checking on us. I also liked that check out was just lock up and leave. No list of chores. 😅 We will stay here again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The place was perfect for us! First, Amy invited us to check in early. Our group consisted of several siblings getting together from different states for a family birthday party weekend , and although we only used the place to sleep, shower, breakfast, and unwind at the end of the day, it was tempting to host other family members for meals and party gatherings as the accommodations were perfect with diverse seating areas indoors and outdoors for mingling and eating. We were all perfectly comfortable:)

This house has it all! We had 4 kids with us in our group of 9 and we had tons of space, lots to do inside and out, and is a beautiful home! It’s one of the most well-stocked airbnbs I’ve stayed in with many amenities to make things easy. As it’s been stated before, you’re absolutely aware of the highway but we got used to it too. Laurie was very responsive and accommodating! Beautiful home; thank you for letting us stay!

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

Condo in Cornelius
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 74 reviewsLake 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!

5 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviewsCozy 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!

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.

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 46 reviewsLKN Dream Condo - Lake Norman Vacation Rental
My family really enjoyed our stay. Condo location and view was everything! The inside of the condo was clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. I would recommend this condo for families with little ones due to ideal layout and furnishings! My only complaint was the patio (where we wanted to spent most of our time during the stay) was covered with spiderwebs and bugs (dead and alive) and It was a little difficult to fully enjoy the patio with my 1 and 4 year old because they kept bumping into spiderwebs and stepping on dead bugs. There was also a wasp nest that we had to get rid of upon arrival. This could easily be fixed with a pressure wash and sweep! With that said, the patio view and access to water was everything we hoped for and the inside was clean. We would absolutely rent again in the future, especially if the patio is cleaned in advance!

A beautiful location only to be outdone by beautiful accommodations. We loved staying at this location, amenities were great, enjoyed the pool and boating nearby. The condo was nicely appointed, we needed nothing but our own personal things. Highly recommend this host and location. Felt right at home from the beginning to end. Ryan was super easy to reach and quickly responsive. Thank you!! We loved our first visit to Lake Norman sooo much!!
