Perfect Place

Dear Brent-

I wanted to e-mail you personally and tell you what a great time we had at the house. We consist of Charlie and I (two widows married just over a year ago) my three children (a nurse 25, a Marine 22, and a college student 20) Charlie's 4 children (an art exec for a newspaper in Arizona, and his wife an editor and their daughter aged 2, his son a teacher in India, his son a book binder, his daughter a mom of 2 kids 2 and 2 months, her husband a computer program designer). We are quite an eclectic group and there was something for everyone!!!!

We swam ourselves silly, visited until all hours, ate ourselves sick and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Your beautiful home made every bit of it so very comfortable and charming. Your assistants who keep the place for you couldn't have been any nicer or more accommodating. I just want to thank you again. We hope to do the same thing very soon.

Thanks again,
Cindy

Family Fun to the Max!

Review submitted: February 10, 2013   Date of arrival: December 21, 2012

What a treat to find a home that fit our needs so perfectly! Our 3 sonsand their wives live in Richmond, VA, Charlotte, NC, and Columbia, SC. This was a great meeting place for Christmas! It was well equipped with everything we needed. We did a lot of cooking, had plenty of room, and really appreciated the top of the line appliances...especially the double dishwasher! The view was fantastic. We loved the yard and walking down to the dock and beach(that no one else seemed to have!) But the big surprise was how many fun things were there! It was cold outside but no one cared. The downstairs huge room with the pool table, arcade games for my "boys," we made Christmas ornaments for the tree we brought, and the toddlers couldn't believe there was a big toy box full of fun! (We could have never brought all of that!) We bought some firelogs and sat around upstairs enjoying the fire, Christmas tree, and the movies that were there! Not to mention the good bicycles and stroller! It was also a short drive to Mooresville with plenty of restaurants and we found a wonderful Christmas Eve candlelight service at the beautiful Williamson Chapel United Methodist Church. We had such a great time, I can't even imagine adding swimming, boating, fishing and more! We HAVE to go back!

Wonderful Spring Break Family Vacation

Chastity H. ()
Review submitted: April 23, 2012   Date of arrival: March 31, 2012

This house was the perfect, most relaxing vacation my family and I have had in a long time. We had our immediate family of 3, as well as 3 sets of grandparents and a few cousins and still had room to spare! The dock was our daily destination to either swim in the little beach area, read a book or fish. The kids (age 7) greatly enjoyed the video games in the basement and the playground in the back. We like the fact the home was on a cul-de-sac so the kids could play on their bikes and scooters without worries of passing traffic. I have recommended this place to many of my friends and will definitely stay in the future - should I visit Lake Norman again. Thanks so much for the lovely memories that we were able to make at this home. I can sincerely promise no one will be disappointed staying at this house.

Nice House, Location, and Facilities

Marv (columbus, Ohio, USA)
Review submitted: May 4, 2011   Date of arrival: April 23, 2011

This house was used by five male adults as a base for fishing and golfing on Lake Norman. The location, house, and dock were excellent for this purpose. The location is on the west side of the lake, south of the 150 bridge. For those who have knowledge of this area, this gets you out of the congested area east of the lake.
All in all, I would highly recommend it to small groups and families.

Thank you for providing such a great place for our long weekend. Everything was so easy and the view was terrific! Even the recommendation for the Red Rocks was perfect! We are on our way home and will definitely be in touch again when we need a lake house getaway!



Thanks!

Thank you Brent for providing such a great rental experience! Your home had every amenity - a beautiful kitchen and master bath, amazing view of the lake, board games, movies, books, gas grill, cozy fireplace and an easy to find location. Our ages ranged from 22 months all the way up to parents and grandparents and we all had a great time. Even though we stayed in the off season, it was a perfect relaxing weekend. We would recommend your place to our family and friends and will definitely be in touch to stay at your Lake Norman house again!

I never do this but wanted to make sure that I gave some feedback on this place. Every year we go to Lake Norman and stay at a different home. NOT ANYMORE! This will be our choice from now on. Thanks for everything Brent!

What a perfect week! The house was spacious and the beach perfect for my toddler and infant. Three things happened daily during our vacation...we used the swing set, swam in the lake and took a boat ride! We were so spoiled. Thanks for you hospitality.

Relaxing family retreat

Steve (NC, USA)
Review submitted: August 24, 2010   Date of arrival: August 7, 2010

What a welcoming, comfortable setting!! This house has all that one needs. Plenty of games, books, and distractions for the entire family. Though deceptive in the pictures, the size of the house easily fit our family of 8. House amenities excellent. Very quiet neighborhood setting with virtually no traffic. Isolated cove. Stores and church are close enough to drive. The lake is typically busy on weekends, but almost no boat traffic though the week. This would be a definite consideration for us to repeat!!

Vacation home and boat

family travelers (Boonton, NJ USA)
Review submitted: August 19, 2010   Date of arrival: July 31, 2010

We rented this beautiful house with a great location and wonderful view. However, we did have a big problem with renting the boat. The day we were supposed to rent the boat, it wouldn't start. Before renting the boat, the owner assured us the caretaker took care of the boat. In reality, the caretaker did not take care of the boat. As a result, we did not get to use the boat until 2:30PM. When we asked for an adjustment on the rental fee, we were told no adjustments would be made for mechanical problems. We have rented other boats and never had this problem. It ruined our vacation. I would advise you not to rent the boat from the owner. There are many marinas around.

Magnificent View

Review submitted: February 15, 2010   Date of arrival: December 19, 2009

This lakehome has a magnificent view of the lake from the dining, living, and two bedrooms...so close you can enjoy watching the Canadian geese playing while drinking coffee on the upper deck or lower patio. The appliances are top of the line and the kitchen is just the right size for Christmas dinner as we had. With three bedrooms up, the master queen and at the other end of the house two rooms each with two twin beds, there was plenty of sleeping room. Downstairs there is another master and a futon in the huge greatroom. We enjoyed the large coffee table to play games, cards and to put a family puzzle together. But there is also a large screen tv with playstation games for those interested. We went during Christmas, I set up a small tree in the corner and we had our family holiday together in this lovely home. We created many memories here. There should be more photos to show the cozy factor of this home...outside is a lovely child's swing/climbing set and if you go in the summer the house looks perfect for water toys. We hope to be able to return soon. Thanks for sharing your home with us this Christmas.

Lake Norman and the home were perfect. The owner and caretakers went out of their way to make sure we had anything we needed. The boat rental worked out great as we took advantage of the lake and did a lot of tubing, with some skiing and wakeboarding. It was one of the most pleasent and enjoyable vacations to date.

Our Christmas

Christmas Baby (Irwin, PA)
Review submitted: February 9, 2009   Date of arrival: December 20, 2008

Very nice house, spacious, great kitchen, beautiful yard with dock on Lake Norman. Nicely decorated, looks smaller from the outside, but large enough for at least 2 families. Very quiet area in a neighborhood of homeowners.

A few things went wrong, but still had a great trip. Laundry room water line needs unclogged. Fireplace flue needs repaired downstairs. Cleaning could be better with cobwebs.

Nice bikes available to ride on quiet roads. Maintenance family is very close to help with problems. Would like to have cleaning supplies to clean instead of carting our own. Cars tend to get overloaded on vacation.

We spent Christmas week at Lake Norman awaiting the birth of our first grandchild. She finally entered the world 12/22. This was a wonderful house to have a new baby with her family stay each day. Since cooking in was a must, the kitchen and dining area was more than adequit.

Thank you for the nice experience at your house on the lake for our first time. I highly recommend it, and hope to rent this house again.

Relaxing Family Holiday

Meme W. (Wilmington, NC)
Review submitted: January 8, 2008   Date of arrival: December 1, 2007

Four generations of family enjoyed a cozy Christmas holiday week at this terrific lake house. Very clean, very well organized - the attention to detail and thought for our comfort was obvious. The youngest of our family enjoyed the special treat of bikes to ride, games to play and G-rated movies to watch. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac street with nice playset for lots of swinging and sliding. Men loved watching sports on the big screen downstairs. Cooking in this gourmet kitchen with the best grade of up to date appliances was a joy--great grill on the deck. Top quality upgrades in both decor and fixtures make this a bright and modern home with plenty of room for everyone. Excellent value!

We had two familys meet half way from Florida and Michigan. What a blast! If you want to get away without the stress of having to do this and having to do that, this is perfect. Loved the big porch and views of the boat traffic far off in the distance. Renting the boat was the way to go. The house was so clean. Thanks for sharing it with us. We will be back next year.
