Lakefront Family Fun, New Gazebo, Toys Included!

DebbieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Loch Norm Lair is beautiful and relaxing. Great neighborhood. Just the peaceful week we needed. Rick and Judy are extremely friendly. Rick loves to share his boat and will take you for a ride. We sat and talked with them on several occasions and shared a dinner at a restaurant. The place is well cared for and a great deal, very reasonable pricing. It was a shame the sailboat wasn't working, would have loved a ride. We are already talking about a return trip in warmer weather to fully enjoy the water. Thank you so much for the beautiful week. Debbie and Jim

Lake House in Private Paradise

JamieRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Review Title: Perfect Lakefront Stay for a Multigenerational Family Our family, spanning three generations, stayed at this beautiful lakehouse over New Year’s, and it was truly the perfect getaway. From retired grandparents to working professionals, two small children, and even our dog, the house had something for everyone. The lakefront views were stunning, providing a peaceful backdrop for morning coffee and evening conversations. The house was thoughtfully equipped with modern conveniences, making it both comfortable and functional. It truly felt like a home away from home, with cozy spaces to gather, a well-appointed kitchen, and plenty of room for everyone to relax. The owners clearly take pride in the property, and the attention to detail was evident. Whether it was enjoying family meals together, taking in the serenity of the lake, or simply spending quality time, this house offered everything we could ask for. We left with wonderful memories and would highly recommend!

Lake Norman private retreat

AllisonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a very nice last-minute stay here. Diane is a very responsive host. The location is great, and even though there is no full kitchen( which we were aware of), we made it work. The hot plate, convection oven, and full fridge worked out fine for us for a few days. We spent the days fishing off the pier, kayaking, and just being outside. There are board games, beach toys, kayaks, a cooler, chairs, and a fire pit to enjoy. The beds were a little too firm for our liking and a little noisy when you moved around, but they did not take away from our overall stay. Thank you!

Luxurious Guest House Retreat in Lower South End

D.L.Rating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I stay at lodging for over two weeks at a time, I wanted to experience an Airbnb. I was not disappointed on the contrary I’ve booked another stay with this company and at this location. So here’s my recommendation, if you’re going to stay for even one night or 10 nights the location as well as the staff will not disappoint. You’re going to be so spoiled! Pro- close to local grocery stores,restaurants, gym, and golf course. The home was stocked with extra supplies, which, when staying for an extended stay came in very handy. Outside seating and a hammock at your disposal. The gas grill was also a bonus. There was a small issue with the hot water, but was immediately resolved after the issue was reported. Con- the router needed to be reset twice, no big deal it’s happens at home too lol. I’m 5”0 my suggestion - a small stepladder. That’s it, the place is perfect, peaceful and quaint. It’s what you need after a hard at the construction site. Cheers🌻

Perfect Short -Term Rental- Fully Furnished

MikeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Jenny's place was just right for our 5 week stay. It was comfy and spacious. The location was close to grocery and other shopping and also a wide variety of dining places. It was also close enough to the Greenway trail (with a bit of street biking) and we biked all the way to the S.C. border. Jenny also sprinkled a few special touches around, such as a case of bottled water and a bottle of wine in the kitchen and a bag of new toiletries on each bed. My husband and I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it.

Needed somewhere to rest our heads after being at rock hill bmx all day everyday throughout the weekend. Kim’s place was perfect! It was very clean, comfortable beds, accommodating kitchen, and great side laundry room (definitely utilized this space :) Short 10 min drive to and from the track everyday. Would have loved to explore downtown Rock Hill, but we didn’t have time. Next time! I know it is very close to Kim’s and all the locals were talking about how wonderful it is. Thanks Kim for such an enjoyable stay at your property. We will be back!

It was our first time in Charlotte and we couldn’t have got luckier with the accommodations! The home was pristine and modern. It was done so well. We loved it and our 2 cattle dogs were extremely comfortable. So close to great neighborhoods and downtown. Beautiful area to walk our dogs and we will definitely be back the next time we visit! Also love the keyless entry and double door security of the layout!

Cute Uptown apartment with free parking

JamesonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
It was fantastic! Great spot. Bring soap and coffee pods, those two things would have been amazing had I thought about it. Overall such a great location, cute place. Great for 1-2 people who want to walk around uptown. Directions seem complicated until you follow them and then it makes sense. The only thing I had an issue was the code to get into the garage but someone let me in.

As all the reviews share, this is a convenient location to enjoy all that South End has to offer. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a very comfortable bed. Be sure to follow the house instructions and do not lock yourself out of the apartment! I did make that mistake and was very thankful that the host was in town and came to our rescue.

Spacious studio of downtown Charlotte

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The apartment is spacious and comfortable - plus a great value for the money. Easy drive access most anywhere in Charlotte, and walking distance for uptown. Eugenie was also accommodating with check-in and date adjustment which was greatly appreciated. As others noted, it is bright in the morning (worth the trade off for the bright space during the day), there is some mild neighbor noise (not super loud) and smells in the hallway, but not at all in the apartment. All as described and even better space/comfort than expected. Definitely recommend.

Your guide to Charlotte

Welcome to Charlotte

Cosmopolitan Charlotte is North Carolina’s largest city, with towering Uptown skyscrapers, unique museums, and a plethora of lively neighborhoods steeped in history. The municipality rose to prominence in the early 19th century during Carolina’s gold rush, and later prospered thanks to thriving cotton, textile, and banking industries. If you hear someone call it the Queen City, that’s because Charlotte is named after the wife of King George III.

The weather is suitable for adventuring in nature year-round, and the number of indoor and outdoor attractions is staggering; in the morning you can hike the trails in Little Sugar Creek Greenway or spike your adrenaline at the U.S. National Whitewater Center — the world’s largest manmade whitewater river. Later on you can marvel at the NASCAR Hall of Fame or wander the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Finally, you can finish the day strong by sampling craft beers or catching a show at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. These are only a few of the many reasons this place regularly makes lists of the best U.S. cities to live in.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Charlotte

The optimal time to visit Charlotte is in the fall or the spring, when the weather is most temperate, crowds aren’t too bad, and parks and gardens tend to look their best. Summer sees a sharp increase in visitors, but it’s also a fantastic time to experience the U.S. National Whitewater Center and then swap adventure tales over al fresco craft brews in one of the city’s numerous beer gardens. Winter does bring colder climes, but the city’s used to it, and businesses remain open throughout the year. Events you may want to plan a visit around include the Taste of Charlotte food festival in early June and Charlotte Pride in mid-August. Motorsports season at the Charlotte Motor Speedway runs from April to November.
