Lakefront Retreat-Watercraft/Fishing TwiTTy TiMe
This place was more than we expected!! It was great for my grandchildren and for the whole family!! You ain’t be disappointed with this place!! Awesome! Awesome!!

Lakeside Landing by AvantStay | Private Dock
This a great place for any reason! We were on a bachelor trip with friends and it had all of the amenities that we could have possibly needed. Outdoor grill and fireplace were great features that we used a ton, comfortable beds, huge sectional with mounted tv in living room, and privacy from neighboring houses. Lake access was great- settled into the back of a cove- we caught several fish and some of us kayaked out and reported beautiful views of the main portion of the lake. It was a great stay and would highly recommend!

Waterfront Lake Norman Luxury! Boat rental nearby!
this was our second time staying here & it’s the most beautiful & relaxing home! we felt right at home immediately & it’s always clean & welcoming! can’t recommend this beautiful lake house enough!!!

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.

Carolina Sunrise by SoCharm | Amazing Sunrises
We had a fantastic family vacation at this house. Everything you need is there… from a fully stocked kitchen to beach towels and flashlights. Comfortable and clean. I hope to return.

Charming 3BR Lakefront Lake Norman Home with Beach
David’s place was great!!! Private, peaceful, it was clean with lots of space.. this is one of our favorite places to stay at Lake Norman.

Peaceful Lake Wylie Waterfront Home! 8 Guests
Incredible stay. This place is a STEAL! Super great value for the price, right near the city and the river.

Private Lake Front Home w/ Dock + Spa *New Listing
Ok you have to stay here! The house is just lovely with beautiful vaulted ceilings, wood beams, bright sunlight filtering through the giant windows and skylights complete with beautiful views. It is designed to feel peaceful, stylish and comfortable. It literally has ALL the things to do and plenty of privacy. I can’t even list it all the amenities in the space given. To top it off the host Allison was beyond thoughtful! There was a little sign to welcome us and she left a cake to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Made us feel like we were staying in the home of close friends. Seriously just rent this one, you WILL love it!
Lake access apartment rentals

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.

LakeLife Retreat featuring Hot Tub & King Bed
What a Gem! The view is spectacular ! We loved every minute of our stay! Sherry and Dan are awesome! Thank you guys and we will be back! 😉

Private Hideaway on Lake Norman
I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The place was spotless and beautifully set up, making it feel like a home away from home. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, perfect for relaxing after a long day. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, from the essentials to thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special. Jeff, the host, was incredibly helpful and always quick to respond to any questions I had about the house. I highly recommend staying here – it’s a fantastic spot!

Lakefront Family Fun, New Gazebo, Toys Included!
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

Waterfront apartment near dt Davidson
My new favorite place to stay when visiting my daughter at school in Davidson. The setting is peaceful and there are water activities provided right outside the door. Lore was very accommodating. Will definitely be back!

Waterfront Penthouse | Fun for Families&Long Stays
Great condo, spacious and beautiful view on the lake. Perfect for our family size and near a great coffee shop.

Stunning Lake Views-Private Bliss- 2 BR Apartment
I have used James many times now to lodge employees from Minnesota while attending training in the Charlotte area. All aspects of our interactions have been EXCELLENT! My employees request to stay there versus a hotel. The amenities, cleanliness, location, and peacefulness of the lake far out weigh anything a local hotel can offer. He's always the first place we look to book. 100% recommended.

Condo With A View
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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lake access cottage rentals

Sweet Surrender lakefront cabin w/stunning views
The view of the lake was beautiful! The host made homemade blueberry muffins and biscotti that were delicious! It was so thoughtful and really made us feel at home. The space is very nicely decorated and comfortable to stay in. 10/10 will definitely be booking again!

Serenity Cove lake house. Charlotte. Sleeps 8.
Serenity Cove was absolutely incredible! The pictures didn’t do it justice! It was the perfect place for a weekend getaway with some friends. The views were incredible and picturesque. The location was the best of both worlds being far enough from the city to feel like you’re tucked in your own little wonderland but still close enough in case you need to run to the store, go uptown or place a delivery order. The house is stocked with all sorts of things like cooking utensils and games and truly nothing beats just sitting and spending time on their amazing deck. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a spot for a getaway in the Charlotte area.

The Cottage on Lake Wylie
This home was a very peaceful location with abundant windows and views of the lake. Very private with comfortable beds and plentiful bathrooms for our family of four.

Quail Cottage Lake Norman
We absolutely loved this place! Stayed here with my family and in laws for thanksgiving. The place is stunning, just as shown in the pictures, very clean, and incredibly well stocked. They thought of literally every details. Hosts were also incredible responsive…we needed a step stool and they dropped off two options within 10 minutes. We will absolutely be back. Thank you, Heather and Kurt!!

Rustic Charm Cottage Perfect Location
We enjoyed our visit! The cottage was cozy and close to restaurants and Lake Norman. Mooresville Downtown was quaint and fun - definitely will try and make it out again soon!

Sun-filled Lakefront Cottage Oasis
Absolutely the BEST play to stay! We booked a 3-night stay for a weekend getaway. I found Sun-filled Lakefront Cottage Oasis by happenstance while looking for a retreat at Lake Norman. It was exactly what we had hoped for! A quiet, cozy, clean cottage on a beautiful property with breathtaking views of the lake. It's just a short drive into town with plenty of places to eat but also had a kitchen (very well stocked) so you could cook yourself and stay in (& why not with those views). The pier was great, and it had nice shade to sit and relax while reading a book, fishing, or just enjoying nature. The cottage was extremely comfortable overall with everything you could possibly need for a getaway. We loved that you have a lake view from all rooms of the cottage. The owner was very friendly, helpful, and gracious. I loved the recommendations as to what to see and where to eat in Sherrill’s Ford put together by the owner! Absolute perfection…We will definitely be back!!

Lake Wylie Retreat 3br/2ba
Provided space and amenities were just right for our 2 teens, German Shepherd, wife & me. We have family friends in the area, so we are likely to return to this listing. We might bring our own kayaks next time just to balance out our options and in case the pontoon boat isn't available. I will remain a smidge jealous of the kitchen when I get home. My height-challenged spouse might've appreciated a step-stool for some cabinets and for using the clothes-dryer. We appreciated the selection of board games during the rainiest days and that the home seemed to be free of manufactured scents (like scented candles, etc.). Turns out, the water off the dock will yield some fun catfish catches. Cast southward and let it sit about 2 to 3 feet under a bobber. We baited our hooks with doughballs blended with cheese, Italian dressing, & brown sugar. Caught 8 in total during the last 2 days of our stay.

Cozy cottage in quiet cove on LKN
Our stay was wonderful! We loved this home and property. It is in a neighborhood, but it is so private and feels secluded. We were very comfortable here. The home smelled great! The beds were SO comfortable. The host was very responsive. We would love to stay here again the future.
