Tranquility Cove - Beautiful Lakefront Apartment
Wow, what a location right by the lake! We absolutely loved this accommodation. its tastefully decorated, calm, peaceful and private. the living space is sociable and the front porch allows you to enjoy the view of the lake, the birds and just the wonderful peaceful atmosphere. there are kyaks and paddle boards and a beautiful dining area on the jetty. Comfortable beds, pretty linen, great bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen make it feel top end. Clearly this place is loved by the owner and we recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil stay. we came to Charlotte for the Speedway but we're so happy we got out of town to explore the countryside and enjoy Lake Norman. Downtown Moorseville is about 20 mins away and was a lovely place for a bit if shopping and some nice coffee ☕️ Thank you Patricia. we highly recommend your beautiful place at Tranquility Cove x

Non-smoking Lakefront apartment
Blin's place was spotless, comfortable and the view was stunning - Fall leaves were in full color while we were there. The bathrooms were spacious and clean - the water was hot with good pressure. The king bed in the master was supportive and comfortable. I heard no complaints about the bunk room beds the kids used. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, bowls and cooking utensils. All appliances worked well. It was muddy while we were there so we rolled up the light colored rugs so we didn't accidentally stain them. We had our dog with us and there was plenty of area for him to run and the streets were quiet for a walk along the road. There are steps all the way to the water which will be amazing for lake access in the summer. As it was cold while we were there and the lake was still recovering from Hurrican Helene, we did not get in the water. All in all it was a great place to stay.

Sail Away Suite
Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite

LakeLife Retreat featuring Hot Tub & King Bed
Overall great stay!! Place itself was excellent however wish there was more going on in the surrounding town.

Waterfront apartment near dt Davidson
Beautiful setting with lots of things to do. Dogs are great. Lake is lovely. Kayaks are nice. Lore cared a lot that we were happy during our stay.

Mermaid Cove
This place is nothing short of IMPRESSIVE!! The pictures do not do this condo justice! The location was incredible and the condo has it all! The place was cozy and decorated extremely well with no details forgotten! The view was amazing from the balcony that not only overlooked the lake, but the pool as well. There is great lake side restaurant that is definitely the locals favorite hot spot to dine and you can just walk over from the condo which is a huge perk! If you are looking for a well updated place to kick back and relax, this is the one for you! Thank you Lisa and Debra for the fantastic accommodations!

Tranquil Lakefront Carriage House with Dock
Everything was 100%, Great place to stay!!!

Waterfront Penthouse | Fun for Families&Long Stays
My family and I really enjoyed our stay! The unit had anything you could possibly need. Was great not having to run to the store to get this or that as they already had everything available. Very clean!

Cabin Boheme & Boat Rental “A Lakefront Hideaway”
Stunning place by the lake - perfect for our family with small kids. We booked very last minute, and everything was great. Amy was super responsive and helpful, and sorted out some minor issues really quickly!

The Uncorked Cottage
Perfect spot on Lake Norman with everything you need inside the house. McKenna was a great host and would recommend the place to anyone!

Waterfront Home - Hot Tub, Dock, Fire Pit & More!
Austin was a fabulous host. He invited us to check in early. He was quick to respond with a repair and recommendations. The lake is absolutely gorgeous and the local hiking was easy and fun. The house was so inviting and comfortable that we cooked in and relaxed on the porch in the mornings and evenings. The hot tub was a great way to wind down followed by a movie on the giant TV! Don’t miss this great Great Lake house!

Rhodhiss Bliss 3
Lisa was a very responsive host and we appreciate that the property is dog friendly! The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary items for our stay and the bathrooms were pristine. It's a new home, so everything is spotless and comfortable. The host lives on site, but we barely heard them while we were staying there.

Lake house
Very easy to check in and a comfortable stay.

Log Cabin Lake Living
Fantastic place! Perfect cabin on the lake! Super clean and has everything you need! Can’t wait to return soon!

Egret Escape
Egrets Escape was perfect for our short stay in Lake Norman. As with most lake areas, you’ll find that miles on a map equates to much longer times on the roads to get anywhere but this place was conveniently located not far from a Publix in an easily accessible area. While the place is small, it has everything you need, whimsically designed and was absolutely spotless!! It was beautiful to just sit outside by the lake. We took the canoe out briefly, caught a very small fish with the baby rod provided 😄 and cooked out on the blackstone. We really appreciated the little coffee bar upstairs. Highly recommend!

Lake House in Private Paradise
Review Title: Perfect Lakefront Stay for a Multigenerational Family Our family, spanning three generations, stayed at this beautiful lakehouse over New Year’s, and it was truly the perfect getaway. From retired grandparents to working professionals, two small children, and even our dog, the house had something for everyone. The lakefront views were stunning, providing a peaceful backdrop for morning coffee and evening conversations. The house was thoughtfully equipped with modern conveniences, making it both comfortable and functional. It truly felt like a home away from home, with cozy spaces to gather, a well-appointed kitchen, and plenty of room for everyone to relax. The owners clearly take pride in the property, and the attention to detail was evident. Whether it was enjoying family meals together, taking in the serenity of the lake, or simply spending quality time, this house offered everything we could ask for. We left with wonderful memories and would highly recommend!

Lake Norman Waterfront Condo Retreat Dog Friendly
The condo is delightful. Beautiful views, spacious, well stocked, very clean Katie responded promptly to our questions regarding the internet and TV. We'll rent this lovely place again.

The Haven - Lake Norman Vacation Rental w/ Views
We felt right at home when we walked through the door! We love the fact that the light switches were labeled with what they were for and on top of that it was very clean inside!

Quaint and Cozy Lake Norman Condo
We absolutely loved this condo! Very homey & comfortable. One room also had a twin bed in addition to the queen bed. The patio overlooked the pool and marina/harbor and a restaurant, which was less than a 5 minute walk. It was a beautiful area to walk the dog. Yes, you can see & hear I-77 from the patio & pool but could not hear it from inside the condo. Downtown Davidson & Harris Teeter (grocery store) was less than 5 minutes away. We would absolutely stay here again! Such a beautiful area!

Lakefront Condo on Lake Norman!
Kim's home was amazing! Fully stocked, very clean, and felt just like home. Kim was also very responsive and accommodating. I look forward to staying here again when visiting Davidson.

Waterfront Lake Norman Retreat w/ Pool Access!
This stay was everything I hoped for and more. The furniture throughout the home was incredibly comfortable—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The decor struck a beautiful balance between stylish and cozy, creating a space that felt both thoughtfully designed and welcoming. One of the highlights was definitely the porch. The views were beautiful —perfect for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening—and the outdoor furniture was just as inviting as the interior. Every detail was curated for comfort and beauty. I would absolutely stay here again.

Cozy Davidson Lake Norman escape
One of the best decisions we made on a recent trip to NC was staying for 3 nights at Desiree’s lakefront condo in Davidson. Located on an inlet of beautiful Lake Norman this 2-bedroom rental exceeded our expectations. Curbside parking and ground-level access made entering and exiting the property quick and easy. And the 2-bedroom arrangement allowed us to put our 4-year old granddaughter to bed early while we stayed up to take in the view of the harbor or watch our favorite shows on the large-screen TV in our bedroom. We also enjoyed eating breakfast on the back porch and cooling off in the nearby pool. We did not have the time to enjoy all of the amenities the rental offered, but we made good use of the kitchen (with dishwasher and utensils) and the washer-dryer. Desiree’s lakefront property was a wise investment and contributed significantly to our enjoyment during our stay. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone seeking a quiet, private, and relaxing retreat!

Lakeview Penthouse on Lake Norman
Great location Katie was quick to help when needed. The coffee pot was broken and she had a new one at the door same day. Would not hesitate to stay again.

LKN Dream Condo - Lake Norman Vacation Rental
We had a wonderful stay here for our son’s wedding weekend. The location was perfect for all the wedding events and absolutely stunning—right on the lake, with a boardwalk just behind the condo. The unit itself was spotless and very comfortable. There was a last-minute issue with repaving and restricted parking access (completely out of the host’s control), but the host communicated immediately and went out of their way to help us navigate it. Overall, an excellent choice and one we’d happily recommend.
