Family Resort! MINI GOLF, heated pool, lakefront, hot tub, game room & theater!

AMENITIES Galore!! If you're searching for a private resort-like feel to be with your loved ones, The FunHouse is for you! There is something to do for every age group during every season, rain or shine! Our hot tub and mini golf are available all year round. Check out our video tour at (copy and paste into your browser) https://youtu.be/veDFCEL0G7M

We welcome you to our private Lake Norman family retreat! We call it The FunHouse because we’ve loaded it up with fun amenities -Outdoors we have a heated saltwater 16' x 31' swimming pool, 6-person hot tub, 9-hole mini golf, Corn-Hole, giant-sized Connect-4, SUP boards & kayaks for lake enjoyment, convenient location to bring your boat or for boat rental, fishing poles, and a cozy fire pit for your private outdoor fun. Head inside on those rainy, cooler days, and you'll find that we've provided fun for everyone. The entertainment area is equipped with a retro video arcade system with over 400 video games, karaoke station, poker table, billiards (pool table), air hockey table, darts, and a large movie theater room with comfy, reclined seating.

Our tranquil property is located in the quiet part of beautiful Lake Norman. If you rent a boat or wave runners, you'll have plenty of space to roam. It is tucked away in the middle of a beautiful cove, allowing for lots of privacy, while still being close and convenient to attractions, restaurants, and shopping. (Only 20 minutes to Moorseville, 15min to Troutman, & Sherrills Ford).

Great food and entertainment are only about 15-20 minutes away. Order from Publix and have your groceries delivered - and you'll never have to venture out if you don't want to. Do you have a boat? Bring it - the public launch is 2 minutes (around the corner) from our property, ride it on over and park it at our dock.

Driving down our beautiful tree-lined driveway you will see lots of fun awaits you. Our private 9 hole mini-golf area is one of the many activities you can look forward to, nestled along the front of the property. Park your car in the circular drive and come on in! On the main floor, you will find a spacious open floor plan with a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, breakfast nook, dining room with seating for 10 or more, and living area with a fireplace. The living room area on the main floor has a 50-inch LED flat-screen TV, sectional with seating for 10. Additional seating is located at the bar and kitchenette. There is a surround sound speaker system with receiver, for the tv and radio, allowing music to be played throughout the main level of the house and outdoors.

All windows in this house have thermal black-out curtains and comfortable mattresses for a restful nights sleep! The laundry room is located on the main level. The primary bedroom boasts a beautiful King-sized bed, flat-screen LED TV, deck access, and a large bathroom with dual vanities, a jacuzzi tub, and stone tiled shower. The other main floor bedroom features a queen-size bed with an LED TV and a beautiful bathroom right outside the door with a custom stone-tiled shower.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, all three with cozy queen-sized mattresses and all with LED TVs. The middle upstairs bedroom is a large family suite with queen-bed, and an attached bonus room with bunk beds (double-sized beds) with trundle bed and a little reading nook. The second level has two recently remodeled bathrooms each with toilet, sink and standup shower (baby/toddler bath & pack and play are also provided).

In our lower level, you will find endless entertainment, equipped with a state-of-the-art home theater, professional pool table, dart board, poker table, bar with ice maker, 400 game arcade with a walk-out to a brand new heated saltwater pool and outdoor kitchen which includes stovetop, bbq, refrigerator, plates/utensils and sink (propane provided). It also features an outdoor shower for rinsing, and 12-14 person outdoor dining area, with outdoor speakers for music. This entertainment area also offers a large bathroom with an exit to the outdoor deck, making lake cleanup much easier. Life jackets and fishing poles are stored here as well for guest usage.

Down by the dock, you’ll find 2 kayaks and 2 SUPS (stand-up paddle boards) for your pleasure. You can jump in the lake (life vests provided) or hang your feet and fish. Or you can park your rented jet skis or boat. Long Island Marina (down the street) or Lake Effects Marina rents and delivers to our dock.

Now for our most loved feature - the automated heated/cooled saltwater pool with colored waterfall, and restful tanning ledge. You have the option to choose pool light colors if you wish!! Our swimming pool is available for use year round (cold plunges during winter). The heater and cooling units will be used at our discretion. The heater for the swimming pool can only be used if the night time temp is over 55 degrees (at additional cost). We get full sun during spring and summer months so it is naturally heated to temps on average above 75degrees. If you would like the pool heated/cooled to a higher/lower temperature than provided, there will be an additional fee. We control the pool equipment through an app, so if there is something you’d like modified, just ask!

Our hot tub is stationed nearby under a private gazebo and is available year-round. After sunning and swimming all day, settle into our cozy fire pit area and toast marshmallows. Or head inside for movie time in our theater room.

Don't forget about the front of our property!! There, you'll find our 9-hole mini golf area. Adjustable clubs are provided, along with score sheets and balls. It's fun and challenging. Our mini-golf is available for usage year-round! We’ve also added full court volleyball at the top of the property - did someone say family Olympics? Create you own!

Nature lovers, you'll find turtles and frogs in our cove, egrets, and falcons. Bird lovers can sit on the screened porch each morning and enjoy their coffee while being serenaded by a wide variety of indigenous birds. We are also 15 minutes from Lake Norman National Park for hiking enthusiasts.

We care about your health and safety and have equipped our home with a *Radon Mitigation System and an *Infinity Whole House Air Purification System (newly installed) to eliminate pollen, animal dander, and other pathogens/bacteria.

With all of these amenities, you and your loved ones can enjoy this private Lake Norman resort all to yourselves! We know you’ll love our Lake Norman FunHouse just as much as we do!

If you are looking for a true family-friendly place to stay look no further. The layout of the house gives you room to spread out and have a little privacy yet the rooms are large enough to gather together. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all our meals. The most attractive thing about this house is that it feels like a home. Our family felt so relaxed during our stay. Every bed was comfortable.The pool was perfect for little ones. The only time we left the whole week was for boat rides and groceries. We were so content staying at the house. The listing is very accurate.The host responds quickly to every question and goes beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.

Complete and total PERFECTION!!!!!!

The Fun House was the absolute PERFECT spot for my family's annual trip. There were 11 of us, 6 adults and 5 children. There was plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable AND to have some privacy. The photos of the listing do not do it justice, as we found the property to be STUNNING! The home was impeccably clean and well maintained. We particularly appreciated the beautiful, resort-style pool and pool deck area. The dock was perfect for our boat and came equipped with paddle boards and kayaks. We LOVED that the home is situated on a quiet cove, only about 30 yards from the main body of the lake. The owner, Nikole, was an absolute delight. She was very responsive and really went above-and-beyond to make certain that my family and I had a wonderful stay.

Great amenities inside, like the home theater, air hockey and billiards table, darts and more. Bedrooms are all good sizes and comfortable. Hosts were very quick to respond to our questions.
