About this property

Old Lake Charm with Million Dollar Views

***Please note we are taking extra steps to disinfect everything between renters. We always pride ourselves in having our house perfect for you! Safety is very important to us. We want you to feel confident in booking our home that we have gone the extra mile to do this for you!♥

Freshly updated 2100 square foot cottage with breathtaking main channel views of Lake Norman. There are two covered deck spaces for dining, relaxing, and enjoying all the views that the lake has to offer. If you have a boat, bring your own and park it at the dock. If you need a rental, there are several places we recommend on the lake to rent one for the week. We also have outdoor seating on the dock to relax and unwind. The home comes with 2 kayaks, a canoe, a large floating mat, and several smaller floats for you to enjoy.

Below the deck, this home offers a small goldfish pond with a waterfall feature which adds the serene and relaxing sounds after an exciting day on the lake. We also offer a firepit area to close out the perfect day on Lake Norman.

There are two king bedrooms and one room with a bunk bed of twins and a single twin bed. We also have a queen sleeper sofa in the downstairs den. All of our bedrooms have memory foam mattresses and luxurious high-thread-count sheets for the ultimate good night's rest. Both of the king bedrooms come with attached bathrooms.

The home features two dens, one upstairs and one downstairs. Enjoy some Netflix on our 4 smart TVs, as well as high-speed internet throughout the house to log in to your Disney, Hulu, Prime, etc., and stream your favorite series or movies.

The upstairs family room/dining room has floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize the beauty of the outdoors. The galley kitchen is well stocked for the cook in the family to host a spectacular meal after a fun-filled day making memories on the water. There is outdoor seating upstairs on the deck as well as downstairs under the deck. This house has sunrise views from the deck and boasts the perfect place to have your coffee while enjoying the beauty of a new day beginning.

If you like to fish, bring your fishing rods because we catch lots of catfish and bass all around our dock. We even have rod holders on the dock for your enjoyment. We have card games as well as a host of board games for our guests to use.

In addition to our home's many amenities, we are also only a 5-minute drive to Lake Norman State Park. They have 36 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails, as well as a beach area with lifeguards. They offer pedal boat, paddleboard, kayak, and canoe rental as well.

***Please note that we have a NO PETS policy that will be strictly enforced. Thank you!

Lake Fishing Vaction was Great

Had a mini vacation for Easter at this lake house. Everything was clean and the property description was right on. Caught a lot of fish right off the dock. This place had a really nice game room too. If anyone is looking for a great place to stay on the lake, this one is for you.Ianyon

lovely lake getaway

Wonderful place. Spacious for our group, beautiful view of the lake, great deck, fun game room. At first we looked in email couldn’t find the checkin info. so we called Shana who said it was texted. The A/C vent in the queen sized bed room downstairs was VERY loud. The descriptive info in the kitchen needs to be uodated because it says, dont.park in the garage, which is impossible because its now a game room.

Lake Norman Vacation

My family had a fantastic stay! The home was even more beautiful than pictured. We loved the deck with unbeatable lake views. The game room was AMAZING too. The show stopper was the lake itself: we spent hours on floating dock and in the water. We loved the kayaks, paddle boards, and floating mat! We fished off the dock, catching good sized catfish. We also rented a boat for several days and had a blast exploring beautiful Lake Norman. Wonderful home, wonderful vacation! I highly recommend!!

Mimi’s 60th

Our stay at Brookside Cottage was both relaxing and enjoyable. From the gorgeous views of the lake to the comfortable decor and furnishings, the property did not disappoint. Many hours were spent relaxing in the lake and on the dock. We are already looking for another occasion to come back.

Amazing views on low traffic cove

We rented the house for a week and tied up our boat. When not on the water, we spent our time on the porch overlooking the water, at the fire pit and inside the game room. We had everything in the kitchen we needed to cook breakfast and a few dinners. It was a major plus that the house came with so many lake towels. Hosts were speedy with replies to questions.

Perfect Family Vacation

This was our first time to Lake Norman and will not be our last. Our family of five had one of our best vacations to date. Peaceful, clean, and safe. We enjoyed having dinner on the beautiful deck with a gorgeous view of the lake, taking the kayaks within the cove, and fishing off of the pier. Great memories were made!

Memorial Day Weekend

We come down for the Coca-Cola 600 every year. We had a great weekend. The place was amazing! Lots of fishing, kayaking, sitting around the fire at night. The game room was a lot of fun as well. So many things to choose from. Thanks for another year of so many fantastic memories!!

Girls Trip

The property and its location were great. The view of the lake was amazing. There were a lot of things to do in the area too. The downstairs 3/4 bath is very small though if very many people are staying there. The description of amenities said there was a hot tub and that one refrigerator had an ice maker. There was neither.

Fabulous lake house!

My husband & I rented the house for our son’s Davidson graduation. We had family from Virginia and Pennsylvania join us for 4 perfect nights. The weather was amazing, the views stunning, and the house was comfortable, well equipped, and beautifully appointed! This was our first time staying on the lake and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We especially loved having access to the kayak’s and floats. We swam and lounged in between graduation festivities - a perfect way to celebrate. Thank you!

Fantastic Getaway!

My daughter and I stayed there for Thanksgiving. It was too cold for water activities, but we had a blast in the game room playing pool, ping pong, and arcade games. The view of the lake was wonderful. The kitchen was well supplied so we had a great Thanksgiving meal. We will definitely book again in the summer!

It is a million dollar view

Needed a place to stay for granddaughters wedding and we hit the jackpot. The view is amazing especially at sunset. Loved the comfortable beds and the basket of soft throws to curl up in to watch the sunsets. The game room was a big hit! The owners made sure all was good and were available if we needed anything. We will be back!

Lake Norman get-away

We had such a great time at Lake Norman. We were greeted with a sweet anniversary card when we arrived. The home was beautiful and clean, and had everything we wanted. We fished, played pool, and relaxed. The weather was gorgeous! Can't wait to go back and maybe take the grandkids!

Wedding in North Carolina

Our son moved to North Carolina for work and three years later he married his southern belle. We traveled from Northern MI for the wedding festivities and Shana's place was the perfect home away from home for us. We had 6 adults(2- 17 yr olds) staying in the house and had plenty of room to roam. The game room was a bit and the house was so beautiful in the fall, on the lake and we couldn't be happier with the accommodations. Knowing our son is here for good, we hope to stay in Shana's place for future visits. You will not be disappointed! Highly recommend

Frederick wedding

We came to town for our son’s wedding. The groom wanted to spend time with his groomsmen and family before his big day. We enjoy the outdoors so why not Lake Norman. We used the dock, boathouse, fire pit and spacious decks. Most of us have never been to the lake itself. Upon arriving we fell in love with this lakeside cabin. We were surprised with all the room, the surprise game room. The hostess was very helpful when we had one issue and contacted a neighbor for us. We didn’t want to leave. We had 8-9 people here and had room to spread out. The owners are continually upgrading the property as they have time. All instructions were sent by text on the day of arrival. We had a great time and want to come back as soon as we are able.

Great Family Vacation

Our family had a great time at the Brookside Cottage The home was beautifully decorated. Shana was quick to respond to my text messages. The public boat ramp was close to the house. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to prepare our family meals. The game room in the garage was a nice touch for rainy days. We spent our days cruising the lake and our evenings on the back deck. We can't wait to come back to Lake Norman next year.

OUR STORY

Hi There! Our names are Ed and Shana Brooks and we are the owners of Brookside Cottage. We have grown up on the lake and live one street over. Our parents have lived on this street (Butternut) for 40 years and we have always loved the tree lined streets and the quiet living of this area. When some friends shared with us that they were selling their home on Butternut, we jumped at the opportunity to purchase it. We knew it needed a lot of TLC, but we also knew that it was worth the work. We purchased it on April 28th of 2021 and literally started renovating that very day. We still have things on our wish list that we hope to accomplish in the future (like a game room), among many other projects. My husband likes to joke and say that I have too much vision!! :) We hope that you love this property as much as we do. Enjoy your vacation!

Blessings,
Ed and Shana Brooks
