Pool, Swim Dock, Hot Tub & Game Room | Miller Nicholson Design | Boathouse Cove

At Boathouse Cove, unwind and soak in the tranquil beauty of Lake Norman. Nestled in a peaceful cove, this charming lakeside retreat invites you to relax and enjoy life at a slower pace. Whether you're lounging in Adirondack chairs by the water or watching the sunset fade into the night sky, every moment feels like the weekend. Here, it’s always the perfect time to enjoy the Lake Norman lifestyle.

Designed by Miller Nicholson, this craftsman home features 140 windows that offer stunning lake views from nearly every room, including the den and five cozy, wood-accented bedrooms. The home is as much about relaxation as it is about creating memories with family and friends, from weekday kayaking with the kids to weekends spent soaking up the sun and enjoying the water.

Boathouse Cove is set on a beautifully landscaped, gently sloping lawn that leads to 234 feet of private shoreline. The outdoor space includes a private dock with covered boat slips (pontoon rentals available) and a sparkling new pool. For ultimate relaxation, indulge in the 6-person hot tub perched on an elevated deck, where you’ll enjoy sweeping lake views. Reservations for this coveted spot might be necessary! The expansive water views stretch across to a natural preserve, offering an unobstructed view of the Lake Norman woods.

As you approach Boathouse Cove, you’re welcomed by the slate rocking chair front porch, perfect for enjoying the serene surroundings. Step inside to discover an open-concept living space that seamlessly blends the living area, dining area, breakfast room, and kitchen into one inviting environment.

The living room is designed with comfort in mind, featuring cozy couches and breathtaking stonework and wood accents. The custom design of this home will constantly captivate you, with a stunning lake view visible from virtually every angle. The window seats in the living room offer the best views, perfect for enjoying a good book or just taking in the beauty of the lake. Natural light floods the space, creating an airy atmosphere that’s perfect for all-day enjoyment.

The spacious kitchen features a glass cooktop, double ovens, and a large island with seating for 6. It’s fully stocked with everything you need for your stay, including a Keurig and a drip coffee maker, ensuring your mornings are off to a great start.

The dining area, just off the kitchen, provides seating for 8, making it ideal for everything from casual meals to special celebrations. Adjacent to the kitchen is the breakfast room, a cozy spot furnished with couches, a mini-fridge, a bar, a TV, and wonderful views of the new pool and the lake.

The home’s five bedrooms are designed to provide plenty of space for all guests. There are 2 king beds and 5 queen beds, ensuring everyone has a comfortable place to rest. If you’re lucky enough to claim the primary bedroom on the upper level, you’ll enjoy your own private access to the upper deck and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with an oversized shower featuring dual shower heads and a jetted tub. Step outside each morning to breathe in the cool lake breeze while sipping your coffee — a perfect start to your day.

The upper level includes three more bedrooms and two full bathrooms, featuring one king, one queen, and one room with two queen beds.

For added privacy, the garage area is separated from the main living spaces and offers a quiet retreat. Downstairs, you'll find a game room with a bar, TV, fridge, and fun activities like a basketball shooting game and foosball. Upstairs, there's another bedroom with two queen beds, a full bath, and a mini-fridge. The garage offers ample space for kids to hang out and enjoy their own activities.

Boathouse Cove’s outdoor offerings are as expansive as its indoor spaces. The private dock provides the perfect spot for lakefront relaxation, with plenty of seating and all the fun lake toys, including a kayak, 2 paddleboards, and an assortment of life jackets.

For those seeking both sun and shade, the dock has a covered area with comfortable seating and dining options. The large grassy area offers the perfect spot for lawn games, while the swimming dock provides the ultimate place to relax.

Cousins' Reunion

The house was cozy and spacious at the same time with places for relaxing, games, puzzles, cooking and eating. Our family reunion of three generations of women had a wonderful weekend. The sunrises and sunsets out the generous windows were a real treat too:)

Perfect Reunion Location!

Couldn’t have had picked a better home and location for our sibling reunion! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Kitchen was well equipped and large enough to socialize and cook large meals in. Common areas were large, bright, and cozy. We chose to come in autumn, which was absolutely stunning for fall colors and smores by the fire, but a little too chilly to enjoy the boat and lake. Looking forward to coming again when it’s warmer!

Annual family summer vacation

We’ve not vacationed in N Carolina before . We stay somewhere new every summer with our adult children, their spouses & our grandchildren (6 adults & 4 children in our group). We were so pleased with this home and the small apartment upstairs in the game room area. Lots of room and great amenities. The sandy beach was a big hit and we rented the pontoon boat during the week too (so much fun). No bugs! The weather was great and Charlotte is just 40 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again!

Average

Nice location, the house has not been kept up well. Needs repairs. Only 3 dish towels for a house that rents for 14 people, especially during a holiday with increased kitchen activity. The liquid hand soap had been diluted with water, making it hard to use and worrisome to use. Washer and dryer are very loud and run slowly. No reasonable cost to rent the houses float boat, which is at the residence. BedRooms are small, closets are very small. Nice view. Nice sauna. Would NOT rent this property again for the increased price, I expect more.

Fantastic family fun

This property was everything we hoped for and fit our needs perfectly. It was our grandchildren's first time at a large lake instead of the shore and they loved it. Swimming, boating, fire pit at night, hot tub and game room. We have rented summer homes for 12 years and this was the best. Renting a boat added to the pleasure but just relaxing at the house was a delight.

Family Vacation

Home is spacious with nice views. Clean and comfortable, quite with nice views. Pool and hot tub were nice. Rental company could have done a little better job of making sure everything was in working order. Pool needed water added so that the pump and fountain would run. Kayaks straps were broken. Kitchen could have been better stocked..(if you cook bring your own knives). Plenty of plates and glasses wine glasses etc. 2nd frig in garage is a plus for families like ours who prefer to cook rather than eat out. Lots of games for kids and boat rental was a nice option.
