About this property

Lake Escape's Barefoot Bungalow

Welcome to Lake Escape’s Barefoot Bungalow! This fully renovated lakefront home on Lake Norman is the perfect spot to enjoy the beauty and relaxation of the lake while having all of the comfort and conveniences of a fully stocked home. You won’t have to choose between hanging out in the living room, playing board games in the family room, competing in the gameroom, relaxing on the porch, lazing away on the beach, floating in the lake or jumping on your boat.. Because you can do them all!

The open concept great room combines the living room, dining area and kitchen. Stream on the 65” TV while whipping up your favorite meals in the fully stocked kitchen. It is fully equipped with quality pots, pans, flatware, dishes, serving ware, utensils and small appliances. You’ll also find a Keurig with all of the coffee and accouterments you’ll need. (A standard coffee pot is also provided.)

Straight out the back sliders is the deck and porch. Lots of seating for everyone to relax and decompress. Choose from rockers, dining area or lounge seats while your grill master cooks up some dinner on the propane grill.

This main level is where you’ll find all four bedrooms. They all feature Queen beds with high end mattresses and bedding. All of the bedrooms feature ceiling fans, lamps, Amazon echo alarm clocks, and power points on the night tables.

The Master is en suite with a stall shower and vanity. The hall bathroom services the 3 other bedrooms and provides a large stall shower as well. Both bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and all of the fluffy towels you could need.

Downstairs is another family room with a 65” TV and all of the board games you could want. This leads out to the patio where you can play cornhole, sit on the hanging chairs or enjoy a meal at the dining table. Sit by the firepit with our complimentary firewood or walk down the path to the beach and the private dock.

Here you’ll find all of the lake and lawn toys! There are 4 kayaks, 2 SUPs and life jackets all included! The toy box includes Can Jam, Lawn Darts and an assortment of balls and frisbees.

But wait.. There’s more!! Don’t miss the gameroom in the detached garage. The game room entertains with pop-a-shot, 2 arcade machines, ping pong, foosball and a great Marshall bluetooth speaker to pipe in your own favorite music. A memorable time at the lake awaits you!

Lake Norman Christmas

We came to Lake Norman to celebrate Christmas with family who live very close to this property. During the day we were mostly at there house - but when we came home our 2 boys ages 16-21 stayed up in the game room each night and had a ball. Best part - we couldn’t hear them because it is in the garage!The house has literally everything you could want. We ran out of doggie poop bags - and they had extras! We did laundry while we were there and there was detergent in the laundry room. There is even complementary firewood for the fire pit. We definitely recommend Barefoot Bungalow and hope to stay again.

Beautiful retreat on the lake

Wish we could have stayed longer! Property was extremely clean and well decorated. The game room in the garage was fun for the 9 & 12 year old that were staying with us for a long weekend. Home has a ton of space. Kitchen is fully stocked. We flew there so it was nice having shampoo, conditioner and soap. There was also coffee, paper towels and toilet paper. I love when there are separate makeup wash cloths. It is a nice touch. The beds were extremely comfortable and I slept better than I have in a long time there. It was just so peaceful. The boys used the kayaks 1 afternoon and we built a fire another although we forgot to get marshmallows. It was also a convenient location for us and everything was close by. Jessica was helpful and communicative and we loved the link to the welcome guide. We would definitely stay here again when we visit Lake Norman. Thank you!

Beautiful ans Easy

One of the easiest rentals we’ve done. I was visiting with my family and my mom for a wedding. Mom is elderly so the fact that most everything was on one floor was perfect. The house was beautiful and the location was excellent! The host was extremely responsive and even brought out some fishing rods so the kids could enjoy the lake. S’mores by the fire pit capped off a perfect long weekend

Excellent Visit to Lake Norman

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barefoot Bungalow. The house was spotless, extremely well-equipped and the extra spaces such as a game room and additional living room on the lower level allowed for more than enough space for our family. The owner thought of everything and was always available for questions which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend this property for your visit to Lake Norman.

Another Great Stay at Lake Escapes!

This was our third trip using Lake Escapes at Lake Norman. We have stayed at a different property each time. This was the first time we stayed at Barefoot Bungalow, and like the other properties, it was a beautiful house, with all the comforts of home. The views of the lake could not be beat, and the ammenities they provide are great. We also love the fact that we can travel with our dogs. We will definitely be back again!

Great property!

We stayed the weekend and wish it had been longer! Well stocked kitchen, very clean, and lots of amenities. Beautiful lake view with nice dock and beach area. Perfect setup for our family including 3 young adults. The fact that it was dog friendly and we had our three dogs with us topped it off. Host was very helpful and responsive. Highly recommended, we hope to come back!

New Years Eve Get Away

The owners were super responsive. There was a minor glitch with the wifi not working and access to the game room. They were there within 30 minutes to get it fixed. Owner was very friendly and offered some nice recommendations on the area. House had all the cooking utensils you could need, plenty of toys & games, lots of space and was very clean. I would highly recommend. We would use them again.

A Hidden Gem on Lake Norman

This is one of the best vacation rental homes we have ever had! Jess does it right and is extremely detailed starting with her confirmation communication through the check out process. The house was exactly as described in the website, including every detail pictured accurately. The home was spotless, well stocked, had everything we needed, and had every light switch labeled (which is always helpful in an unknown home)! Comfortable beds, beautiful furnishings, kitchenware, linens/bathroom towels, etc were all great quality and in abundance! The outdoor area was wonderful and enjoyable - from the dock space to the kayaks and paddleboards to the evening fire pit. The game room was a welcome addition as well. The location of the home was also very convenient to shopping if needed and only a 25 minute drive to Uptown. We were a party of 8 and never felt cramped, plenty of room for everyone to enjoy and be comfortable! Barefoot Bungalow is a gem on Lake Norman! A+++

The Perfect Weekend

This place was perfect! Everything included. No need to ever leave the property. On the lake with it's own private beach. Kayaks and Paddle Boards included. Amazing view and location. Immaculate kitchen with complete set of pots and pans and everything you could imagine, including a full spice rack. I had no problem cooking for 6. We had a wedding to attend but it ended up being a short vacation. By the way, the garage is a gorgeous 1,000 sq ft. game room!!! Ping pong, Fussball, Several arcade games, including basketball and lounge chairs. Absolutely no reason to book 3 rooms for 2 nights in a hotel when you could rent this house and get soooo much more. Verty glad we made this decision. I STRONGLY recommend you stay here, whether it's only 2 of you or 8 (4 Bedrooms w/4 queens). Worth every penny.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Barish

Host profile image
Thank you for considering Lake Escape. We are a brother-sister duo that have been working together our entire lives. We created Lake Escape when we moved to Lake Norman with our families a few years ago. We realized that we needed to share our love of the lake with vacation goers year round.

We, along with our families, have created lakefront vacation spaces that are warm and welcoming, fun and adventurous, and comfortable and cozy all while being affordable and providing all of the conveniences of home. We strive to provide a lake vacation experience that exceeds your expectations and creates memories for a lifetime.

We are always accessible. We love hearing from our guests. There is nothing we want more than to hear that you are returning for another stay. Please take a moment to read some of our reviews. Our previous guests do a way better job than we do at describing what Lake Escape truly means.

Why they chose this property

This house is immaculate with great water access. It feels warm and cozy and homey. We loved it and are certain you will too!
