Unclean
We have travelled here every year for about 3 years, but this time the smell of cat litter boxes was overwhelming. I brought plug ins based off of reviews I had read just in case. The bathroom tub had not been cleaned at all. There was a dirty ring around tub along with hair in the drain. It was supposed to be our last visit and we were really looking forward to it but it was really disappointing.

Great location, must love cats
The host was very personable and responsive, and the location was excellent. It was great to have access to kayaks, standing paddle boards, and a dock as well as a gas grill, which were some of the major influencers in our choice to stay here.
While we definitely enjoyed ourselves the one drawback was a pretty overwhelming odor of cats. There were cat droppings all over the back yard, and the indoor space was absolutely permeated with the scent of litter boxes.
For those who are used to cats or have them themselves, perhaps it would not be such a major issue, but we would probably not stay here again due to the odor alone.

Lake Norman
The room had a strong, strong cat odor making it very difficult to sleep. We could hear mewing kittens coming from upstairs, there were about 10 cat crates in the yard and there were cats in the yard. The unit was clean but the cat littler smell was overwhelming.

I can’t say enough great things about the property and the hosts Craig and Dorie. Thank you, Lucy (beagle) and I had a great time. The area is very quiet and pictures do not do the property and ambiance justice. I can’t wait to come back and to also visit our new fur friends

Perfect spring break getaway!
As a New York residents we were looking for a relaxing place to spend our spring break and this is the perfect nice quiet place to do so. With a lovely lake view, peaceful neighborhood. Thanks to Craig and Dorie for the warming welcome and for the hospitality. Also a perfect easy communication all the time. We are coming back when the weather gets warmer so we can enjoy the outside activities.

Another Great Stay (2nd stay at this property)
We had another great stay at this property! We came down to Lake Norman 2yrs ago and had a great stay then, an opportunity came up for a weekend getaway on short notice and I was so happy to see this was available again. Craig was a great host, very friendly - available if needed but also gave us our space. They had everything needed for a spontaneous lake getaway with out pups! Beach, many kayaks, paddle boards, dock with chairs, covered patio, fully stocked kitchen, and allowed both of our dogs with no additional fee (a huge plus!). Good location with restaurants, stores, gas stations nearby but in a quiet neighborhood. Will definitely come stay again!

Anniversary Weekend
Truly enjoyed our long weekend. The spacious apartment with patio overlooking the lake was perfect. We took full advantage of the dock and lake toys (kayaks and paddle boards) as well as swimming in the lake. Being able to have our dog with us made it that much better. There were even life vests for dogs so we could take him kayaking with us.
Craig was super accommodating and wonderful to work with. We will definitely be back again!

This is a very quiet, residential area. Very relaxing. It is NOT a party cove which was perfect for us. Easy water access. Not too many stairs down to the water. Close to popular restaurants. 25 minutes to Cornelius for some cute shopping.Craig is super nice.

Lake House
Upon arrival there was a noticeable odor to the unit, we tried to identify it and determined it was the entry rug which we put outside. The bathroom was small and had what looked like uncompleted repairs (holes in wall) and was not overly clean. During our stay we had several crawling worm/bugs on the floors as well as a large cockroach. The blinds on several windows/doors were damaged as well. Location was good and the space could be fine with a little attention to some details. Not worth the price compared to other places we have stayed.

Animal lovers
Craig and his wife(so sorry i forgot your name) are very friendly and sweet people who accommodate us animal lovers, as they too love animals.
Their place is cozy and beautiful with a great view from the cove with kayaks and a paddle board.
They also have doggie life vests for the dogs that love the water.
If your animals are your kids then this is the pet friendly place for you!
We will definitely be back very soon!

The Lake- One Night Stop
The place was exactly what I was expecting it would be based on the description, pics and previous reviews. Great lakefront house and property. we used the dock to swim from and also used the kayaks, paddle board, and big lake floating raft in the short time we where there. The unit itself is not a 5 star hotel but it easily met the needs of my family of four(2 college age boys) for a quick afternoon, night and morning on the lake. Craig is an awesome host and gives you all the privacy you want. Back patio is a great place to hang out at night for sure, quiet and peaceful and a cool place to watch out over the lake. We hope to come back again soon.
