Awesome stay

House and amenities are great, so is the location. Unfortunately during our stay the weather did not cooperate so we weren't able to enjoy all the awesome outdoor features.

Amazing stay!

We stayed in this cabin for my sister’s bachelorette weekend. Jamie was so accommodating leaving us snacks and the place had everything we needed for cooking. The view and location of the cabin was perfect and complete with a hammock overlooking the lake and a dock with chairs where we were able to sit and talk perfect for a weekend stay!

Perfect summer getaway!

My sons and I had the best time at Lake Norman. The home was perfect for us, and exactly or even better in person. Clean, everything you need, and easy booking and checkin. My kids loved fishing from the dock and we rented a jet ski for a couple days which was a blast. Would definitely stay again.

Simply Magical

This cabin was perfect for our stay. Ideally situated on top of a hill among the trees with a glimmering view of the lake. Perfect refuge after hours in the hot summer of NC.

Amazing Lake Cottage!

Could not beat this lake house! It was clean and had all the amenities that we needed while in town for a friends wedding. We have already recommended this place to several friends and plan to stay again hopefully soon!

Statesville Balloon Festival

My family came into town for the Statesville Hot Air Balloon Festival. We had a great weekend staying on Lake Norman in this quaint home. We cherished the quiet and seclusion while still being close to town. We used the kayaks and fished off the dock. Clean and comfortable! Jamie was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Only wish it could’ve lasted longer.

Great stay

The house was very clean and comfortable. It was exactly as shown in the listing. Jamie was very responsive and attentive to any questions. The boat lift wasn’t very user friendly, but we were still able to use it. Overall an excellent weekend with family!

Perfect weekend getaway!

Jamie’s property is the perfect quiet getaway! The house is so cutely decorated and has everything you might need. Jamie was so helpful and responded quickly anytime we reached out to her. We were a group of 5 Moms looking for some relaxation and time together and it was perfect. We spent most of our time on the dock enjoying the peaceful cove of the lake and the kayaks. We would definitely stay here again!

Cute and Cozy

Lovely home with a cozy feel. This is a great home for someone with limited mobility, in that you can walk right into the house with no steps and it is one level. There is a large shower with a small step and a handheld shower head. The toilets are low and the kitchen is long and narrow but that does not take away from the charm and ease of the house. Even for someone with limited mobility there is a great view of the water and the sunroom is a great place to soak up the outside. The fire pit and dock and well maintained and provide a great opportunity to be outside. The fire pit is well shaded and provides great seating. The dock is well built and has stairs leading into the water. The stairs leading to the dock are a lot but a great way to get your exercise in for the day. My family thoroughly enjoyed this home and hope to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie

Host profile image
I take great joy in hosting and strive to provide truly 5-star accommodations that feel like a home away from home. I’m always available to help with any questions or local tips, yet I’m mindful to give you the privacy and space you need to relax and enjoy your vacation. My approach is all about striking that perfect balance—ensuring a supportive, welcoming experience without ever intruding on your well-deserved getaway.

Why they chose this property

I chose this location because it’s close to the State Park and offers guests multiple opportunities to enjoy all that Lake Norman has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Top Water Perch is more than just a place to stay—it’s a peaceful retreat tucked away in one of Lake Norman’s quietest coves. What makes it truly special is the way it invites you to slow down, reconnect, and savor life by the water.

From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by the sound of birds, gentle lapping waves, and a sense of calm that’s hard to find in the everyday. The cottage has been lovingly curated to combine comfort with charm—modern updates balanced with nostalgic touches that remind you of summers past.

The private dock and included kayaks make lake access effortless, while the spacious back deck offers the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon sunbathing, or evening dinners under the stars. The fire pit becomes the heart of the property after sunset, where stories are shared and s’mores are made under a canopy of stars.

Located at the end of a private gravel road, there’s a feeling of seclusion without being too far from local amenities. Whether you’re here for fishing, paddling, or time with family and friends. Top Water Perch offers a place to truly rest and be refreshed.
