About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family-friendly lakefront retreat. 8 Kayaks, porch swings, grill, private dock.

Relax, unwind, and have fun at this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home on a quiet cove of Lake Norman. The hundreds of trees on this one-acre Mooresville property offer privacy in a location that is super convenient for shopping, groceries, and attractions. The house comfortably sleeps eight, with three bedrooms (4 beds) and two futons in the basement. There is a full bathroom on each level (3 full baths).

Friends and family can lounge in the over 2,200 square feet of living space, cook out and dine on the huge lakefront deck, relax on the porch swings, or enjoy the water with seven adult kayaks and two youth kayaks provided.


-- THE PROPERTY --
Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Twin/Full Beds | Basement: 2 Full Futons

Using the regular coffeemaker or Keurig, start your morning with a cup of coffee on the 1,000-square-foot wraparound deck. Overlooking the peaceful waterfront, listen to the songbirds while enjoying the pleasant breeze coming from the lake. You will see lots of birds, ducks, and geese, some turtles sunbathing around the cove, and a heron who likes to hang around the dock!

Spend your afternoon on the lake floating in the water, swimming, or using the 9 kayaks provided (5-8 foot; 1-10 foot; 1-12 foot, and 2 6-foot youth kayaks). The kids will delight in being able to fish right off the dock. Slip away for a fun waterside lunch by car, boat, or kayak to several restaurants close by. If you have your own boat or choose to rent one from one of the local marinas, you can dock it right at the house!

After memorable hours on the water, cook out on the deck on the outdoor gas grill, admiring the view with a drink in hand until dinner is ready. Or stay inside and whip up a fabulous feast in the fully equipped kitchen! During the meal preparations, your kids can watch their favorite shows on one of the three TVs.

Wrap up the day by swinging on the porch swings on the downstairs patio and breathing in the fresh lake air. Watch the sunset over the water before heading inside to end the evening in the basement, a great spot for the group to spend quality time.

Enjoy a family movie night on the 50" Samsung 4K Smart TV with cable, streaming capabilities, and a DVD player. Choose between a Netflix film or one of the 75 assorted DVDs provided! When the day finally comes to an end, guests of the master bedroom will retreat to the upstairs loft with a king bed, en-suite bathroom, and mounted flat-screen TV.

* NOTE: The home is pet-friendly (dogs only) with a fee. The pet fee must be paid before your arrival. Please include any questions/requests in your booking inquiry *

Beautiful property-inside and out. Jamie, the owner, was an excellent and timely communicator and went out of her way to make our experience a very, very pleasant one. It’s a fantastic property for dogs. The large deck has two latched doors and kept our furry friend contained. And the yard also suited him as it’s very private. Horseshoes and cornhole was an added bonus. Sitting on the deck under the canopies of trees was a delight. Wonderfully suited for all day enjoyment. There are different sized kayaks and life jackets and we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the water.Churches, restaurants and food stores are just down the road. The neighborhood is very pleasant for a long walk. This property is absolutely worthy of a return visit and I highly recommend it for your stay on Lake Norman.

Thank you for a fabulous stay. We thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful lakehouse and accessible dock area. We have used VRBO, and its competitors for years. This is the most well maintained and appointed house we have used. As lakehouse owners ourselves, we have learned many tips to implement. Thank you for your mindful and generous attention to detail. Yours is the best stocked kitchen!We appreciated the impatiens and ferns. And we kept them watered. The flags for the holiday were such a thoughtful touch!Many thanks,George and Sarah Sledge

Mooresville stay

The house was fine - it was not exactly the lake house we expected as the location was a very small finger of the actual lake.Adding mirrors to the bedrooms would help (there was one in 2 of the rooms, but the 3rd bedroom and downstairs bonus area did not have one.

The property is very nice, clean and has all the kitchen amenities. With 3 floors including a game/TV below connected to a private dock you have a lot of room to move about. My wife and I are looking to relocate to NC and our stay in Jamie's house made our decisions that much easier.

Beautiful Property for a Wonderful Holiday

From the moment we booked this home for our stay to the moment we left, the owner was so supportive. We planned a stay with family from all over the country for the end of December until New Year's eve. The owner confirmed with us that Christmas decor would be appropriate for us and we were all in. The home was tastefully decorated in a way that was appropriate for our multigenerational family. We didn't have to worry about anything fragile or in the way, but the home was so well decorated that every member of my family that arrived asked if we had had to do it ourselves. When I gave told them about the home owner doing it they were just amazed. In addition, we were left a baking mix and decorative molds for cookie decorating. Everything we needed. The kids (and adults) were entertained every day with board games, card games, watching the water and wildlife. The kitchen has everything you need for anything you want to make. We made everything from simple salads, bacon and eggs, to a full prime rib dinner. We had everything we needed. But before we even arrived, the home owner was asking if we needed any special pans for our holiday meal. And she sent pictures in advance of all the cabinets and drawer contents. Again.... above and beyond. In this cozy but spacious home, you will be together but never tripping over each other. I can see it offering even more during the spring, summer and fall seasons. It is a treasure.
