Vacation rentals with lake access in Gaston County

We were looking for a relaxing place to spend time with our son & his girlfriend who live in the area…River Retreat fit the bill!! Lots of space, beautiful views and conveniences close by. I would definitely book this property again. Highly recommend!

I can’t begin to describe how beautiful this house was and how well kept it was. The scenery is also beautiful and quiet. The neighbors are also so nice and welcoming! I would recommend all of my friends and family to book a stay here and I look forward to book again soon in the summer! Thank you lovely spaces!

We enjoyed an early family Christmas with our adult children at this lovely home. There was ample space for all six of us to dine, relax, playing games, etc. We even found out what we needed in the kitchen to make our traditional Xmas cookies together. It was well equipped. The yard is very nice and if there had not been a bit of a cold snap, I think we all would have taken advantage of the outdoor space more. I think this would be a very nice retreat in warmer weather. Michael was very communicative and accommodating, offering up and early check in and late check out since there were no other guests around our reservation. Our stay was a pleasant experience.

We had a great stay here! The pictures do not do this house justice. It is large and very well kept. Anything and everything you could ask for in a home away from home. Thank you Dean and Angie for hospitality and giving us the opportunity to have a great time with all of our adult children.

Great stay! Clean, comfortable, and convenient. Highly recommend!

Great home on a private pond. We fished and watched nature all day. This place is extremely close to shopping and restaurants. Mike, the property manager, is extremely helpful and responsive. We will definitely stay here again!

My wife and I took my two boys and my parents on a little vacation for a few days the day after Christmas. The house on the lake and location right outside of Charollete was perfect. The boys and I got to fish with my pops right off the back dock. We were close to all kinds of things to do around the Charollete area. Erin was super quick to respond with any questions we had. Would love to plan a trip back during summer to be able to use the lake more.

This place was exactly what we were looking for: a quiet, peaceful and relaxing getaway. The beds are extremelly comfy, the house was super clean, communication was fast and easy… and the owner was super detail oriented about everything… I strongly recommend this property as a 5 stars place.

Had an amazing stay. Was very peaceful and extremely clean. Felt great walking into the home.

My husband and I had a great stay at the LakeLife Retreat- our hosts Sherry and Dan were friendly and had many great recommendations for our stay. The co-hosts Sandy and Luna were also friendly and delightful to visit with. My husband enjoyed fishing off the boat dock. The grounds were beautiful and the retreat was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Thank you Sherry!!!

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The place was spotless and beautifully set up, making it feel like a home away from home. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, perfect for relaxing after a long day. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, from the essentials to thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special. Jeff, the host, was incredibly helpful and always quick to respond to any questions I had about the house. I highly recommend staying here – it’s a fantastic spot!

Loch Norm Lair is beautiful and relaxing. Great neighborhood. Just the peaceful week we needed. Rick and Judy are extremely friendly. Rick loves to share his boat and will take you for a ride. We sat and talked with them on several occasions and shared a dinner at a restaurant. The place is well cared for and a great deal, very reasonable pricing. It was a shame the sailboat wasn't working, would have loved a ride. We are already talking about a return trip in warmer weather to fully enjoy the water. Thank you so much for the beautiful week. Debbie and Jim

Great weekend spent at Lore’s place. Pictures do not do it justice. Better than we expected. Very clean and everything you would need. The design of inside was beautiful. Every detail Lore has covered and more than you need. Will definitely be back again. Kudos to a wonderful place.

Great condo, spacious and beautiful view on the lake. Perfect for our family size and near a great coffee shop.

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.

This apartment is spacious and comfortable. Nice view and patio. Quick drive to Davidson Main Street. Close to highway. Nice touches like plenty of coffee, tea, trial size toiletries. Wi-Fi worked great. Host responded quickly and I was happy that they didn’t proactively send us a ton of messages checking on us. I also liked that check out was just lock up and leave. No list of chores. 😅 We will stay here again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Earl is everything you want in host. Responsive, friendly, and professional. I would recommend for any group event or private getaway. We will be back!

Stunning and peaceful. Such a beautiful oasis. My friend and I stayed one night and didn’t want to leave. The view from inside the cabin is also amazing. The hosts were so responsive and generous. Don’t hesitate to book here!

We absolutely loved this place! Stayed here with my family and in laws for thanksgiving. The place is stunning, just as shown in the pictures, very clean, and incredibly well stocked. They thought of literally every details. Hosts were also incredible responsive…we needed a step stool and they dropped off two options within 10 minutes. We will absolutely be back. Thank you, Heather and Kurt!!

We enjoyed our visit! The cottage was cozy and close to restaurants and Lake Norman. Mooresville Downtown was quaint and fun - definitely will try and make it out again soon!

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!!

We had a wonderful stay celebrating our granddaughter’s 21st birthday! The house was exactly as described. It was extremely clean which is important. Zach responded when we needed to ask him a question. Renting the pontoon boat from Zach was an added plus for the day!

This was the best airbnb we have stayed! Andrea was very accommodating, very personable. It was awesome staying at a place that embraces having your dogs with you. She made sure all I's were doted and T's crossed. We loved staying! Thank you Andrea for opening up your cottage to us! I look forward to meeting you someday in person! Blessings on your future endeavors! Love the Strieders!

Very well taken care of home on the lakefront. Dock, kayaks, outdoor seating. A beautiful setting for our family. Thank you so much!
