Vacation rentals with lake access in Alexander County

Amazing spot on the water - close to good food and bars. Plenty of activities to do and lots of space in the house.

What a beautiful location and perfect accommodations. We loved being able to sit on the screened in porch for meals and used the dock for a morning yoga session. The beds were comfortable and the whole place was cozy and inviting. Would highly recommend Cliff and his beautiful home to a family or group who wants to get away with beautiful surroundings.

We had such a great time at lake Norman and Amy’s home is PERFECT! 10/10 recommend and look forward to booking this property again in the future!

This a great place for any reason! We were on a bachelor trip with friends and it had all of the amenities that we could have possibly needed. Outdoor grill and fireplace were great features that we used a ton, comfortable beds, huge sectional with mounted tv in living room, and privacy from neighboring houses. Lake access was great- settled into the back of a cove- we caught several fish and some of us kayaked out and reported beautiful views of the main portion of the lake. It was a great stay and would highly recommend!

this was our second time staying here & it’s the most beautiful & relaxing home! we felt right at home immediately & it’s always clean & welcoming! can’t recommend this beautiful lake house enough!!!

Very easy to check in and a comfortable stay.

I really can't express how perfect this place was for us! I booked it for Thanksgiving to get our scattered family together. The house is amazing with two living room spaces, two dining spaces and plenty of bedrooms for all of us. The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed a little fishing and kayaking. The large dining room made it possible to seat everyone at one table for Thanksgiving dinner. One of the neighbors even saved Thanksgiving by sharing the forgotten spices for pumpkin pie!There is a strong possibility that we will be back next year to do it all again. Thank you Jodi, for a wonderful experience!!

Great stay. Very clean, well equipped, amenities were as advertised and well maintained. House was in great location - very near restaurants, stores, and lake norman park (great hiking trails). Communication with host and co-host was very responsive. The game room was a hit! Adults, kids, and grandkids all played pool, air hockey, and foosball. Grandkids loved the paddleboards. And the hot tub was very nice for unwinding. For Thanksgiving dinner - having 2 refrigerators and ovens for meal prep was a lifesaver! Only feedback I have is it would be nice if the game room was heated. And the fenced back yard was not as large as we expected (as it looked in the picture) but it worked out ok for the 2 dogs. All in all a great time had by all - including the dogs - and it was a great Thanksgiving! Would recommend staying here!

This was a great place to stay—great amenities with beautiful, serene lake views. This was a great place to stay for a relaxing family vacation. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property! Ideal proximity to Rock Barn Spa & Golf and great restaurants (Fourk!) but so private and peaceful.

“Had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check-in was smooth, and the host was friendly and responsive. The location was perfect — quiet but close to everything I needed. Definitely recommend and would stay here again!”

Catawba River Cottage is a beautifully decorated, very clean home with well-thought out amenities. Best of all, it has a peaceful view right on the Catawba River. We loved that the home has plenty of outdoor seating spaces for enjoying the views. We especially enjoyed sitting on the dock. We would definitely return in the future.

Absolutely the BEST play to stay! We booked a 3-night stay for a weekend getaway. I found Sun-filled Lakefront Cottage Oasis by happenstance while looking for a retreat at Lake Norman. It was exactly what we had hoped for! A quiet, cozy, clean cottage on a beautiful property with breathtaking views of the lake. It's just a short drive into town with plenty of places to eat but also had a kitchen (very well stocked) so you could cook yourself and stay in (& why not with those views). The pier was great, and it had nice shade to sit and relax while reading a book, fishing, or just enjoying nature. The cottage was extremely comfortable overall with everything you could possibly need for a getaway. We loved that you have a lake view from all rooms of the cottage. The owner was very friendly, helpful, and gracious. I loved the recommendations as to what to see and where to eat in Sherrill’s Ford put together by the owner! Absolute perfection…We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful place and great communication. The only downfall is parking is kind of tight. We were in town for a fishing tournament and there was only room to park one bass boat.

My family and I loved this home so much that we can’t wait to go back. The home is beautiful inside and out. Fully equipped kitchen, comfy beds, amazing deck and dock. The view from this home is absolutely gorgeous. We loved watching people enjoying the lake on their boats and jet skis. My daughters loved the paddle boat. The home is fully supplied with life vests also. We really appreciated that. This home outshined any home I ever booked. 10 out of 10! Can’t get over the views and multiple decks. We will be back :).

Extremely comfortable, from the living room couches to the beds. Great place to relax and get fought up on some down time. Worth every penny:)
