Family friendly lakefront retreat. Grill, private dock, kayaks

Relax, unwind, and have fun at this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home on a quiet cove of Lake Norman. The hundreds of trees on this one-acre Mooresville property offer privacy in a location that is super convenient for shopping, groceries, and attractions. The house comfortably sleeps eight, with three bedrooms (4 beds) and two futons in the basement. There is a full bathroom on each level (3 full baths).

Friends and family can lounge in the over 2,200 square feet of living space, cook out and dine on the huge lakefront deck, relax on the porch swings, or enjoy the water with seven adult kayaks and two youth kayaks provided.


-- THE PROPERTY --
Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Twin/Full Beds | Basement: 2 Full Futons

Using the regular coffeemaker or Keurig, start your morning with a cup of coffee on the 1,000-square-foot wraparound deck. Overlooking the peaceful waterfront, listen to the songbirds while enjoying the pleasant breeze coming from the lake. You will see lots of birds, ducks, and geese, some turtles sunbathing around the cove, and a heron who likes to hang around the dock!

Spend your afternoon on the lake floating in the water, swimming, or using the 9 kayaks provided (5-8 foot; 1-10 foot; 1-12 foot, and 2 6-foot youth kayaks). The kids will delight in being able to fish right off the dock. Slip away for a fun waterside lunch by car, boat, or kayak to several restaurants close by. If you have your own boat or choose to rent one from one of the local marinas, you can dock it right at the house!

After memorable hours on the water, cook out on the deck on the outdoor gas grill, admiring the view with a drink in hand until dinner is ready. Or stay inside and whip up a fabulous feast in the fully equipped kitchen! During the meal preparations, your kids can watch their favorite shows on one of the three TVs.

Wrap up the day by swinging on the porch swings on the downstairs patio and breathing in the fresh lake air. Watch the sunset over the water before heading inside to end the evening in the basement, a great spot for the group to spend quality time.

Enjoy a family movie night on the 50" Samsung 4K Smart TV with cable, streaming capabilities, and a DVD player. Choose between a Netflix film or one of the 75 assorted DVDs provided! When the day finally comes to an end, guests of the master bedroom will retreat to the upstairs loft with a king bed, en-suite bathroom, and mounted flat-screen TV.

* NOTE: The home is pet-friendly (dogs only) with a fee. The pet fee must be paid before your arrival. Please include any questions/requests in your booking inquiry *

Nice and quite on the shore
The property is very nice, clean and has all the kitchen amenities. With 3 floors including a game/TV below connected to a private dock you have a lot of room to move about. My wife and I are looking to relocate to NC and our stay in Jamie's house made our decisions that much easier.

Beautiful Property for a Wonderful Holiday
From the moment we booked this home for our stay to the moment we left, the owner was so supportive. We planned a stay with family from all over the country for the end of December until New Year's eve. The owner confirmed with us that Christmas decor would be appropriate for us and we were all in. The home was tastefully decorated in a way that was appropriate for our multigenerational family. We didn't have to worry about anything fragile or in the way, but the home was so well decorated that every member of my family that arrived asked if we had had to do it ourselves. When I gave told them about the home owner doing it they were just amazed. In addition, we were left a baking mix and decorative molds for cookie decorating. Everything we needed. The kids (and adults) were entertained every day with board games, card games, watching the water and wildlife. The kitchen has everything you need for anything you want to make. We made everything from simple salads, bacon and eggs, to a full prime rib dinner. We had everything we needed. But before we even arrived, the home owner was asking if we needed any special pans for our holiday meal. And she sent pictures in advance of all the cabinets and drawer contents. Again.... above and beyond. In this cozy but spacious home, you will be together but never tripping over each other. I can see it offering even more during the spring, summer and fall seasons. It is a treasure.

We spent most of our time on the spacious deck and relaxing in the lounge chairs by the water. It’s obvious that the hosts love this property and take great care of it. We would definitely come back.

Such a relaxing visit
My husband and I vacationed here with my parents and son and his girlfriend. We had an amazing stay. The kitchen was very well appointed. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t supplied. We spent a lot of time reading on the gorgeous deck while watching the “kids” fish and kayak. We loved watching the birds, squirrels, chipmunks and geese every morning. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and the downstairs serves the kids well when they wanted to watch their own tv shows. The bathrooms were supplied with plenty of towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, and make up remover wipes. We have no complaints. Jamie was so quick to respond to my questions before and during our stay. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt secluded and safe. Would stay here again for sure.

Immaculate, comfortable, lakeside home
Thank you, Jamie, for sharing your lovely home with us. Not only was it spotless and equipped with everything we needed, but it had a welcoming and cozy energy that made us feel relaxed and happy the entire week. The beds were comfortable and made with inviting linens. All the bathrooms had plenty of clean, white towels, toilet paper, and sample products. The kitchen had everything we needed (trash bags, paper towels, cleaning supplies, nice plates, and lots of oils/spices). We adored the special dining room table. Our favorite place was the deck where we enjoyed most meals surrounded by cardinals, blue jays, squirrels, and even a shy fox. It is only a couple minutes from Eddie's, a lakeside restaurant with music and an extensive menu. If we ever revisit Lake Norman, we hope to stay here again.

Quiet & Relaxing Lake alcove
This was our 2nd stay at this property. The last time was pre-covid and they made several updates to the decor. Upon our arrival they left us on the counter chips, salsa and Pierre water. They also left a starter package of firewood and some DuraFlame logs. The bathrooms are loaded with towels, shampoo, soap, conditioner and even makeup wipes so you don't ruin their nice white towels. The kitchen had everything you could need. This alcove part of the lake is very safe for younger kids to try their skill at kayaking. We were visiting from PA the 2 grandkids and they had a blast. They loved sleeping in the lower level on the futons with their own bathroom. I stayed in the 2nd floor loft and the bed and private bath was great for me. The boys already asked if we can stay in the same house during our next visit. We also appreciate how close everything is to this property in regards to shopping and activities. You can tell the owners love and care for their home. Thank you and Happy Holidays!!!
