Healing Staycation

We as a family have experienced a lot of loss recently and needed a vacation. It was hard to schedule a short notice long stay further away due to school and work. So this stay was perfect with not going to far away but being close enough and being on the water.

Great escape

This large spacious house is tucked away on a quiet cove. The set up has everything you need! It is a fully stocked kitchen and water items for the lake too. We really enjoyed our time there. Surprised to find a mouse scurrying on the bottom floor and mold in the master bath where tiled work in the shower need to be addressed.

Great communication + wonderful house

We had a great stay! Communication was AMAZING beforehand and we were able to plan for our trip better knowing what was already at the house. The bed sheets smelled super clean, which is always something I’m nervous about - but these were great! We had kids with us (including a newborn) and liked how much space there was to spread out. The back porch was nice with a fire pit and various outdoor games. Would definitely recommend!

Annual family gathering

Property was clean and had plenty of room and multiple gathering areas both inside and outside. We were able to bring a pontoon boat to the property and park in the dock. The property had the use of both kayaks and paddle boards. Enjoyed the pool table, cornhole and giant jenga. I do have to say that it is a pretty steep walk down to the water. All in all a very nice property and we had a great stay.

Great Amenities for kids

The adults and kids loved the many amenities at this house. The two kayaks and two paddle boards were used daily. The tween boys had fun catching fist from the dock. The pool table, darts, corn hole, ping pong and other games kept us occupied indoors on two very hot days. A couple of small issues were handled quickly by the management team.

Really enjoyed Jake's Lake House

We had a great experience at Jake's Lake House. Overall, everything was as listed/specified. There are a few minor things they may want to fix or upgrade, such as the grill which didn't get above 250 degrees or the dishwasher that doesn't really wash the dishes. Plus a few other items. However, the sunset at the gazebo, lake access and overall beauty of the house well made up for it.

Jake's is Great

Beautiful home that suited our group well. Loved the large deck, open first floor, and "tiki bar" between house and dock. Property management was responsive and friendly. The location has easy access to small town with groceries, etc, but no traffic. The house is on a small cove, so the lake views aren't the best. It's a personal preference: some will prefer the quiet calm of the cove, we like the expansive lake views more -- but it was as shown, no surprises. Unfortunately for our Clemson crew the host is apparently a Gamecock, but hey, no hard feelings. Final complaint: It should be named "Jake's Place," has a better vibe. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Wonderful experience

Our first time at Lake Norman and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Everyone we spoke with from Todd to Morgan and Eddie took their time answering all our questions and concerns. The kids loved the extras for the lake, the kayak, paddle board, mat (special thanks Todd for that), the sitting tube which our 7, 6 and 4 yr olds rode in every day on the lake. It was so easy renting the pontoon from Todd also. The house was lovely and perfect for our 3 families. And when it says you don't need to bring a lot of extras you need at other rentals, it is true. We already have vacation plans for next year at a different venue but we will definitely be back the next summer. Thanks for everything.
