This brand new traditional style home is nestled in the woods, on the banks of beautiful Lake Norman. The sprawling grounds and lush landscape give guests ample opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and escape the stress of urban life without leaving behind any of the luxuries. Split Rail fences and palm trees will guide you up the 260 foot drive toward the house. The beautiful blue shingles welcome you and hints at the beauty that awaits you at this Lake Norman luxury rental.

Step through the entrance to your home away from home. You will find natural wood floors and a stained glass chandelier/fan welcoming you inside. Vaulted ceilings in the entry draw you in to the living room with full views of the lake right outside. Natural light flows in, creating an open and airy feel. This is the perfect space to unwind and connect with friends and family or to gather for after dinner drinks and share a laugh or two.

The open kitchen is fully equipped to handle any occasion, whether it's an elaborate holiday feast or simply feeding a growing family and keeping the kitchen stocked with all their favorite drinks and snacks – you have all the space you need. The open air kitchen offers the perfect space for even the most discriminating chef to create your everyday meals, quick snacks, and breakfasts. The adjacent dining room is great for sit-down family style dinners with seating for up to 15 people, making it the perfect setting for even the fanciest occasions.

If you head downstairs, you will be thrilled to discover another living room so spacious that it makes it a great place for the kids and kids at heart to hang out
perfect for playing board games, puzzles, cards or just relaxing watching TV – complete with an adjoining bedroom and another full bath. One of the defining features of this home is the in-home theater just to the side of the downstairs living room. The luxury theater has a movie library, state of the art sound system, and theater seating perfect for losing yourself in your favorite flick.

Head upstairs to the top floor to find a loft sitting area with a desk – great for reading or getting some quiet time (or work/school if you have to) and an additional sleeper sofa. Luxurious sleeping areas with 3 King Bedrooms branch off down the hall, featuring large plush bedding and pillows for restful sleep, stylish furnishings that give you plenty of room to unpack, and bathrooms with beautifully updated fixtures. One of the kings is a master with it's own private bath.
You will feel right at home and have the luxury you need to feel relaxed and pampered.

On the main floor there are 3 more bedrooms. One bedroom with 2 sets of bunks (twin/twin and twin/full) and another with a queen poster bed - these bedrooms share a beautiful full bath with tub/shower combo. The additional King master also has it's own private bath with double sinks and walk-in style shower all designed around a magnificent garden tub.

The first floor also boasts an amazing great room with floor to ceiling fireplace and windows with plenty of windows to view the lake with multiple gazebos and amazing pool area.

The two car garage is set up as an amazing game room with pool table, gaming system and ping pong table.

Outside, you'll find a patio that extends from the game room to the pool with plenty of extra seating and dining areas and a bar/outdoor kitchen just outside the back door. Upstairs, there is a large screened in porch off of the dining room with comfy seating to allow you views of the pool and lake. One of the few Lake Norman rental properties with a pool, this pool is 16 x 32 that will make this home to be a sure hit with the family. The large pool area has a large outdoor kitchen with built-in BBQ, perfect for summer entertaining and keeping snacks and ice-cold drinks right in the middle of the fun. On the paved path to the lake, you will find a built-in bonfire pit for when the sun goes down. Your family can stay warm and recap the day's fun over classic s'mores.

The whole property is on the water's edge, which, of course, is complete with its own private dock that you can use the exterior areas of. You can bring your own boat(s), and/or jet skis or use the pedal boat, canoe or the paddle board that is located at the house. Remember, Lake Norman has no restrictions, so it is perfect for extreme water-sports like water skis and wakeboards! Your private dock is large enough to accommodate several watercrafts, so you can take advantage of our multiple-day rentals and keep your toys close at hand. Please remember boat trailers must be parked on the property at least 35 feet from the road . Rentals would have access to the outside perimeter of dock. We are not responsible for the level of water on the lake.

Perfect for what we needed

We were in town for a family (my wife has 6 sisters) wedding. The house was exactly as advertised and was perfect for our large group. Support from the property manager was also excellent. They allowed us to check in early when the bride decided to change the start time for the first event. During our stay we then experienced a couple of minor issues (we tripped a breaker) that we had to call-in. Renata responded within minutes and got us taken care of. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonder stay in Catawba NC!

Let me start off by saying the house and amenities were wonderful. Plenty big enough for our whole family of 16. The property was located about 20 minutes from Mooresville, so not too far when you needed to run out and get something. One draw back for us was the dock. At the time of our stay, the water depth was only 10” and could not accommodate my SAN 230. Bummer!, but the public launch was about a 2 minute drive. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and had a great time.

Perfect for multi-family trip- early check out

This house was great! The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes/cookware you could need. The layout of the house is perfect for vacationing with kids as the bunk room was on a separate floor and/or far away from the theater and garage/game room. Our only complaint was the 9am checkout… with is tough to accomplish with that many people (especially with kids).

Birthday getaway

We were quite pleased with property. We had enough space to spread out but room to comfortably gather together our group of 14 adults. We had some issues with WiFi connection but a phone call remedied that. We could have used a few more large pans but otherwise the kitchen was well stocked. Overall, a good time was had by all!

Group Trip

Our group of 9 had an excellent stay at this beautiful lake home. The house was thoroughly cleaned and ready for our arrival with no issues. With plenty of beds and bathrooms, everyone stayed comfortable through our trip. Notably, the game room and the outdoor areas of this house got most of our time and attention, but the theater room is worth an honorable mention. We have already discussed plans to book this again in the future if available.

Great house for big family

The house was great for our big family. The extra space in the garage was nice to hang out in the evening and the pool area was great, as a peace of mind bonus with little kids the pool is safely gated all around. The house is at the end of the cove and if the water is low getting a boat is not possible. The neighbor was not the friendliest and best to avoid.

Honeymoon Stay

All in all the trip was great. Our only complaints would be about the WiFi and the low lake levels. Luckily we did not have a boat we planned to bring so the water levels didn’t cause us any issues personally. Might just be a time of the year thing! Communication with the property manager was timely and the house was beautiful and private. We did pay to have the pool heated which was a great call and the hot tub was nice as well!
