Beautiful house. Kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of room for our expanding family. The pool was wonderful. The sliding board was a hit! The walk to the lake is very steep. My 80 year old parents wouldn’t attempt it. The fire pit was great. We used the canoe and the dragon boats. Overall a great family vacation.

Conducive to family gathering. All enjoyed the pool. Several of us appreciated the proximity to Lake Norman State Park where we hiked three mornings. We also made good use of the paddle board, kayak and canoe. Great vacation.

Favorite Spot

This is now my favorite vacation spot! I wish I had an extra day or two because there are so many amenities I did not have time to enjoy all of them! The pool and hot tub were Amazon! The bedrooms are spacious! The sun room is nice! The views from the living room are amazing! The host was very responsive and nice and answered all my questions quickly! Very professional. I would definitely do over 10x!!

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.

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.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The house was spotless and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The pool was a highlight, especially with the slide and all the floats provided—it was fun for both kids and adults.The private boat dock made it easy to enjoy the lake, and we loved having access to the paddle boat and kayaks. It was the perfect place to unwind and spend time on the water. Overall, this was a fantastic vacation home with great amenities, and we’d happily stay here again!

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).
