Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests:

“The home was absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. From cooking dinner in the kitchen to fishing off the dock. Everything was very nicely decorated and clean as well. Dan and Sara are very communicative, understanding, and sweet! As were the neighbors, making the neighborhood very welcoming. I would definitely recommend staying here and recommend Dan and Sara as hosts!” - Jasmine

“We had such a great experience at this beautiful lake house. The place was even nicer than the photos—very clean, well stocked with everything you need. Also a great layout for hanging out and socializing, but private quiet bedrooms for sleeping. We hope to visit again and very highly recommend. This place is a gem.” - Monica

“Beautiful house on the lake. Very nicely furnished. Fantastic hosts. Will definitely come back. Thanks.” - Rachid

Guest Access:

✹ GENERAL: Guests can enjoy full access to the entire home and outdoor area.

✹ PARKING: Free parking is available for 3 vehicles in the large driveway.

✹ WORK FROM HOME: Please note that the cabin is indeed a hideaway in the woods, so our satellite internet connectivity varies greatly. It's usually fairly good during the day (up to 40Mbps) but slows down substantially in the evening (3-4 Mbps). So if a strong, constant internet connection in the evening is important to you, this property is NOT the best fit.

✹ FAMILY: Traveling with little ones? We’ve got you covered with a few supplies, including a Pack & Play/travel crib, a high chair, and baby gates.

✹ PETS: Pets are allowed with a $100 one-time pet fee with a maximum of two pets. This is a pet-friendly property, so please do not book if someone in your group has a pet allergy.

✹ DOCK: Our private dock is great for those that love the water, but for boaters, we do want to make sure you know ahead of time that (a) there isn't any electricity on the dock, (b) the boat lift doesn't work at this time (both of these items are on our to-do list!), and (c) the water depth averages 3.5 feet between May 1 and Sep 10 (boating season) and can vary greatly based on the lake water level. Please be sure your boat works well at that depth.

We have one actively recording camera outside on the doorbell that records video and audio. There is also a smart home device in the living room, porch, and back patio which actively records noise decibel levels only. It does not record audio or video.

Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions - we look forward to hosting you!

Saunders Family Weekend

We had a wonderful time coming together as a family at the lake. We kayaked and rode on the paddle boards. The lake views are beautiful. On our last morning we saw 2 eagles!! It was awesome that everything we needed was at the cabin. The kids had so much fun fishing. We enjoyed the hot tub and loved roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. Inside the cabin was so cozy and comfortable. The bedding was top notch!! The kitchens had everything that we needed and the grill was very nice!! We had so much fun and would absolutely book this stay again!

Awesome Amenities & Beautiful Cabin

Overall, we absolutely loved staying at this cabin. It had everything we needed, a beautiful aesthetic, and fun activities that made our stay enjoyable. The hot tub was much larger than the pictures made it seem and was a popular spot for us. Additionally, all of the beds were astoundlingly comfortable, with plenty of pillows and soft sheets/blankets. We'd 100% stay again if we're ever back in the area.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this cabin the moment we set our eyes on it. Having a lakeside cabin in a secluded part of Lake Norman away from the hustle and bustle was ideal for us. Now that we are settled in, we are thrilled to be able to make this experience available to other families looking for the same thing.
