"Reel Whale Kept" on Lake Norman
We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful lake house! The property is absolutely stunning—peaceful, scenic, and the perfect place to relax and recharge. The home itself was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, making the entire experience smooth and welcoming from start to finish. You can tell they really care about their guests’ experience. We truly didn’t want to leave and would absolutely love to stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a serene lakefront getaway!

Amazing home, my family loved it!

The Blue Heron Hideaway, Lake Wylie
Lindsey’s place was perfect for our stay in Charlotte!! Beautiful lakeside location. Great dock to swim from along with kayak, canoe, etc. The house was very well maintained, clean and very private. We will definitely stay here when we visit Charlotte again.

Cozy LKN home with incredible main channel view

Luxury Secluded Lake Home King Beach Views Dock
Our family had a memorable stay at this beautiful lake house! We were impressed by how clean, spacious, and well-equipped it was. The lake views from both outside and inside the home were huge selling points for us and certainly delivered! The house had a fully stocked kitchen, cozy bedrooms, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We were pleasantly surprised by the beach area. It provided easy water access for swimming, kayaking, and just lounging back in the sun. Having life vests and kayaks available was much appreciated. With a couple of pop-up showers, it was nice to still enjoy the outdoors from the covered areas of the home and dock. Communication with the host was excellent and check-in and check-out procedures were clear and simple. We would absolutely return for another stay, but with friends, as it wasn't ideal for everyone in our family due to the narrow doorframes of the bathrooms and exterior steps that created some access difficulties.

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

LakeLife Retreat featuring Hot Tub & King Bed

Spacious 3BR Urban Oasis on Grandin Road
The condo was very clean, new and large. Actually 4 floors in a renovated church. 1st floor was kitchen, living room and half bathroom. 2nd floor was master bedroom suite with walk-in shower, laundry room outside suite. 3rd floor was 2 additional bedrooms and a shared bath. 4th floor was a roof top sitting area. Everything looked brand new and well stocked. Host was extremely proactive in checking in to see if we had any issues, which we did not. Location was ~1 mile from downtown Charlotte and easy driving distance to everything. Enjoyed our stay and will comeback if heading to Charlotte again. Thanks for sharing and caring..

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!

Stunning Lake Views-Private Bliss- 2 BR Apartment
I have used James many times now to lodge employees from Minnesota while attending training in the Charlotte area. All aspects of our interactions have been EXCELLENT! My employees request to stay there versus a hotel. The amenities, cleanliness, location, and peacefulness of the lake far out weigh anything a local hotel can offer. He's always the first place we look to book. 100% recommended.

Condo With A View
Gorgeous place right on the water. Top floor so no noise in at night. Was a great place for our family to stay for Thanksgiving.

Waters Edge On Lake Norman
Whether you want to relaxi or fish, this is the perfect place for you. Me, my husband, and our 3 dogs love this place and as always, we will return again

"The Kiser Cottage" #1 on Lake Norman w/Pontoon *
Had an amazing stay at the cottage. Plenty of outdoor activities to take part in, including easy access to the lake! Earl was a great host. He was friendly and responsive, and proactive in his communication. Would recommend to anybody looking to stay at Lake Norman!

Serenity Cove lake house. Charlotte. Sleeps 8.
Had an incredible time! Beautiful place as well as scenery. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks again too Anna for allowing us to enjoy her place!

Quail Cottage Lake Norman
This is hands down, the best Airbnb we have stayed in. The amenities were amazing, it was exactly as described, and is a beautiful home. We can’t wait to go back!

Rustic Charm Cottage Perfect Location
The only thing better than the accommodations is the hosts! Absolutely wonderful people. Love the area as well

Sun-filled Lakefront Cottage Oasis
This place is absolutely beautiful, peaceful and just what our family needed. So grateful that we were able to bring our sweet dog too. Our son is way into fishing-the dock was exactly what we were looking for. LeeAnn is an incredible host, answered any and all questions and the place was exactly as she described. We already know that we will be back and can’t wait to plan our next visit.

Lake Norman 3BR Cottage Boat Rental & Private Dock
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Zachary’s place and highly recommend it for a perfect lake getaway. Zachary and his family are great hosts.

Lake Wylie Retreat 3br/2ba
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 1/2 month stay at Chris and Stephanie’s. It did not seem too big for the two of us yet it was plenty big when we had kids/grandkids over for the day. The location was ideal for us. I don’t believe there is a single cooking item/utensil that the kitchen lacks- very impressive!! The wall of windows is perfect for seeing all the cardinals that come to the feeder. When there were minor issues, Chris responded as quickly as possible. Two thumbs up!

Cozy cottage in quiet cove on LKN
Stayed here this past weekend and it was amazing. Beautiful house, very clean and cozy. Outside was private with a privacy fence on one side and shrubs on the other. It was quiet at night and with a gated driveway it felt very safe. I would definitely stay here again.
