Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests:

“The home was absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. From cooking dinner in the kitchen to fishing off the dock. Everything was very nicely decorated and clean as well. Dan and Sara are very communicative, understanding, and sweet! As were the neighbors, making the neighborhood very welcoming. I would definitely recommend staying here and recommend Dan and Sara as hosts!” - Jasmine

“We had such a great experience at this beautiful lake house. The place was even nicer than the photos—very clean, well stocked with everything you need. Also a great layout for hanging out and socializing, but private quiet bedrooms for sleeping. We hope to visit again and very highly recommend. This place is a gem.” - Monica

“Beautiful house on the lake. Very nicely furnished. Fantastic hosts. Will definitely come back. Thanks.” - Rachid

Guest Access:

✹ GENERAL: Guests can enjoy full access to the entire home and outdoor area.

✹ PARKING: Free parking is available for 3 vehicles in the large driveway.

✹ WORK FROM HOME: Please note that the cabin is indeed a hideaway in the woods, so our satellite internet connectivity varies greatly. It's usually fairly good during the day (up to 40Mbps) but slows down substantially in the evening (3-4 Mbps). So if a strong, constant internet connection in the evening is important to you, this property is NOT the best fit.

✹ FAMILY: Traveling with little ones? We’ve got you covered with a few supplies, including a Pack & Play/travel crib, a high chair, and baby gates.

✹ PETS: Pets are allowed with a $100 one-time pet fee with a maximum of two pets. This is a pet-friendly property, so please do not book if someone in your group has a pet allergy.

✹ DOCK: Our private dock is great for those that love the water, but for boaters, we do want to make sure you know ahead of time that (a) there isn't any electricity on the dock, (b) the boat lift doesn't work at this time (both of these items are on our to-do list!), and (c) the water depth averages 3.5 feet between May 1 and Sep 10 (boating season) and can vary greatly based on the lake water level. Please be sure your boat works well at that depth.

We have one actively recording camera outside on the doorbell that records video and audio. There is also a smart home device in the living room, porch, and back patio which actively records noise decibel levels only. It does not record audio or video.

Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions - we look forward to hosting you!

Our stay was wonderful and the house is very child friendly. There is a permanent gate at the top of the stairs and a door at the bottom, two full size high chairs, and a pack and play. The back porch is fully screened in and the entire length of the house. The weekend was wonderful and peaceful! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Awesome Amenities & Beautiful Cabin
Overall, we absolutely loved staying at this cabin. It had everything we needed, a beautiful aesthetic, and fun activities that made our stay enjoyable. The hot tub was much larger than the pictures made it seem and was a popular spot for us. Additionally, all of the beds were astoundlingly comfortable, with plenty of pillows and soft sheets/blankets. We'd 100% stay again if we're ever back in the area.

Perfect Family Getaway on Lake Norman
Our family of four, including two young children and our dog, had a fantastic time at this waterfront log cabin on Lake Norman. It was the perfect getaway to celebrate the start of summer break. We thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboards, which provided endless fun on the lake. The cabin itself was cozy and comfortable, with spacious living rooms and a fully equipped kitchen that made meal prep a breeze. The pet-friendly environment was a huge plus, allowing our dog to be part of the family fun. Overall, the tranquility, beautiful views, and numerous amenities made our stay truly memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind and make lasting family memories. Highly recommended!

Awesome Cabin !
This was an amazing Cabin, it's like 2 cabins in one. This is a great place for 2 families. There are 2 full kitchens, one upstairs and one downstairs with large bedrooms on each level. 7 of us (My wife and I, my daughter and her boyfriend, my teen son, my other son and wife came up from Camp Lejeunne and our dogs) comfortably stayed here for several days. Great views and nice location. The Coffee lodge is a must. We will stay again! The host Dan & Sara were great and messaged us several times to make sure we were enjoying our stay and to see if we needed anything. If you're looking for a cabin on Lake Norman, look no further than this one.

Amazing stay and property!
This property completely exceeded our expectations! The hosts were excellent and very easy to contact in addition to their great communication about the property. The property is stocked with any amenities you can possibly need and more. Location of the home was great for quick access to grocery stores and restaurants while still being secluded in a cove. The cove provided easy access to the water, but beware of shallow waters getting your boat to the dock. The middle of the cove was shallow, but no issues with access if you stay close to the other docks and shore. Can’t speak highly enough of this property!
