About this property

Cozy Lake House! Large Yard! Sleeps 8! Boating options available on site!

Come enjoy the relaxing environment of this beautiful lake front property, we refer to as "The Little House." With a large back porch perfect for marveling over the sunset, an acre yard, and dock perfect for day time sunbathing, you will have nothing short of an amazing time at this cozy home. It is located on a private drive in a great location. The neighborhood is quiet and nice for walks or runs, while restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and convenience stores are all close in vicinity (less than 10 minutes away). 2 single kayaks and a paddle board are included, as well as a propane grill and fire pit. If you’re interested in our pontoon rental please ask!
Full disclosure— We are dog friendly and this is a 1960s home. As you can see in the photos, there is wood paneling and older appliances. If you want a new, updated home that is not dog friendly, STAY ELSEWHERE. This house is not for you! People who want to enjoy the lake, bring their pets, and get a lake house feeling for a great price, stay here! This is a great VALUE stay!

Lake Norman getaway
Well if you plan on boating and using the dock and or hanging out outside this place is lacking upkeep and maintenance. No usable grill and the yard was full of branches sticks and dirt. Hedges were grown up to the eaves. The dock walkway is a barely hanging in there. Metal rod holding the walkway up is halfway out and needs fixed. The electrical outlet is deteriorated and needs replaced. Had to make do with what we had to charge our boats. Very unsafe. No light bulb on dock and when we put one in there the neighbor made us take it out. She says the light bothered her at night. Living areas were okay but outdated. I’ve fished all over the Southeast and stayed at many places and this one was my least favorite.

Nice location / needs cleaning / maintenance
The house is nice and lake location is nice. There was a lot of things that didn’t work. The ice maker and fireplace did not work. The lights outside of the house was very dark and you couldn’t see. There were spiders webs in the rooms and I have picture's. There was lots of spider webs on the house. No one thought to clean things and check to make sure things were in good working order. The drainage in the Jacuzzi was slow and main sink as well in the bathroom. I did a lot of cleaning. It’s an older home with old appliances such as the stove top and dishwasher and washing machine. There was a new refrigerator in which the ice maker didn’t work and the filter water was not working. The person who I called Marty who was very nice and tried to help with issues but no one was able to come and fix things because it was the weekend. It was a good stay but there are issues.

Awesome place
We loved out stay the lake house. The house was clean, the location was quiet, the cove was quiet and clearly a no wake cove, the property was nice, there wasn’t anything about the place we would have changed. Was it all brand new? Nope. Did everything work? Yep. We fixed steaks on the gas grill, cooked side items in the house, and we wanted for nothing. We are already talking about when we are going to go back, and we rarely visit the same rental twice, so that says a lot. As a side note, we ate at Chillfire Grill for my birthday, and it was easily a top 3 dining experience, so it is highly recommended.

Gorgeous Lake views
Charming house with floor to ceiling windows provided us a panoramic view of the lake. Plenty of space for entertaining inside or outside. We spent most of our long weekend on the back porch enjoying the view and the bbq grille. Also we liked the proximity to plenty of restaurants and breweries - within 5 to 10 from the house. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at this home. The description is very accurate. The back porch was our favorite spot for morning coffee and sunsets. Our dogs enjoyed the large yard and walks in the quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the convenience of stores nearby. Renting the pontoon boat was a definite perk!

60th Birthday Getaway
Beautiful location. I gave this 5 stars even though we had a few issues with the electricity. Hurricane Helene sent some weather our way and a tree took out some power lines. We were without power for 2 days/1 night. In all honesty it wasn't that big of a deal, after all you are outside most of the time enjoying the beautiful yard and lake. We ran to Wal Mart, got some candles and ice chests. Saved our food and then ordered pizza for dinner. We planned to BBQ but the previous vacationer left the propane tank on and there went those plans. Pizza was good though so no harm done.

Just got back from 5 days at this property. Everything worked as it should. While it is a little dated, it is clearly posted in the description. Went with the family and dogs. The location was excellent. The view was beautiful and it was nice and quiet. I would definitely recommend and stay again in the future.

Nice Older Home, Great Location and Price
Our family vacation here was comfortable and fun. The house, property, and location is very nice. Owners seem like friendly folks. There were areas worth noting that need attention, but weren't necessary to report during our stay. The main shower has weak, cracked flooring; one sink drains slowly. Water pressure slowed in the kitchen and baths at times. Small bath had loose toilet seat. LR has loose railing. Coffee pot was missing power button. A functional coffee pot was found in a cabinet. (both were dirty). The kitchen needs a few new dishes. A teflon pot was extremely damaged and rusted inside. The stovetop has an odd, deep vat holding a puddle of murky, old grease and food particles. This not only looks gross, but circulates a heavy, smoky odor while cooking. Fortunately, no bugs were seen. Dining room chair cushions sag deeply with no center support. Other house needs were already mentioned in recent reviews. **The dock light hung loosely and did not work. After a windy thunderstorm, it was gone. The house is spacious. AC worked great. Beds & bedding was comfy and clean. (There is one flat, firm mattress.) The large, shady yard provided a good place to play badminton. The dock had plenty of room for our canopy, and fishing was very good. We thoroughly enjoyed the large back porch. Watch out for two deep holes in the lower backyard. Overall, we had a good family vacation here, and priced right. We're thankful for pet friendly home options to bring our sweet dog along.

Amazing Property
The Property was incredably beautiful with large backyard for our dog to run. great shade provided by many mature trees. Location and view of the Lake equaly amazing. The house itself was roomy and very comfortable but was in need of some maintinence. Many of the shades missing slats and some did not work at all. Several cieling fans not operating properly. Garage lights not operating, and a few other minor issues. None of these items made our experience any less enjoyable. Outside one of the Kayaks (large one) leaked significantly. Could only go short distances. The property hos Marty was terrific. We had issues understanding the TV and she was there in 5 minutes fixing the issues and showing us how to operate remotes. She was always available. Overall we gave this VRBO a 4.4 rating. With a little maintenence this would be a 5 Star property. Great time for my wife and I and our dog.

The Sister House
We loved our stay on Lake Norman in this sweet 1970’s time capsule! The location and lake access were perfect!!! We loved the flat yard- it was perfect for yard games and evening bonfires! The only thing to be improved upon was the cleanliness of the home especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. Our host was very helpful and responsive to all messages and we would definitely rent from Marty again!

Musty cabin in need of repair
Great waterfront access, but house needed serious upgrading and remodeling. Here is the best way I can put it: In the heart of a town, down a lonely lane, Stands a VRBO, aged and stained. Once it gleamed with promise, bright, Now it's shrouded in a dreary blight. Cracked old walls with peeling paint, Dusty curtains hang in faint. Floorboards creak with every tread, A ghostly whisper, words unsaid. Stale old couches, worn and torn, Echo the tales of nights forlorn. Stained old carpets, color lost, Bear the marks of time's harsh cost. The kitchen, a relic of days long past, Grease and grime hold their feast steadfast. A fridge that groans, a stove that sighs, While shadows dance where sunlight dies. Mold in corners, mildew's scent, Rooms that hold a faint lament. Beds that sag and sheets that fray, Welcoming guests in a most unkind way. Yet beneath the grime, a charm persists, A hint of what could still exist. With love and care, a touch of grace, This house could be a wondrous place. A coat of paint, a thorough clean, Fresh new linens, and a sheen. Repair the floors, the walls, the light, Transform the dark into something bright. For every home deserves a chance, To live again, to sing, to dance. To shed the dust, the dirt, the drear, And welcome joy with open cheer. So let us dream for this VRBO, A future bright, a hopeful glow. Where guests can come and find delight, In a place renewed, made fresh and right.

Lovely spacious home
This property has large mature trees that provide shade from the hot Carolina Sun. There is a large patio surrounding the entire back of the home facing the Lake. The large overhead covered area protected us from rain showers. There is a picnic table and wicker set of chairs and couch so we could enjoy being outside and enjoying the view. I enjoyed reading out there but you can walk out on the dock or play corn hole. Indoors is spacious and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided. We only had to purchase our food and paper goods. There are games, books, a large screen TV in the great room and a small TV in the primary bedroom. Large dining room made family dinners a time to enjoy our time together. Our host was responsive to any of my questions. Her notebook on the kitchen counter answered most questions. We loved this property. We would definitely recommend this home.

About the host

Hosted by Martha Wilcox

Host profile image
My name is Marty and I manage my families rental properties here on Lake Norman. I am originally from West Virginia but made Lake Norman my home in 2015. I manage the 3 rentals on the property for my family, and live close by to easily over see them all. I am also a licensed real estate agent in the area. If you are potentially interested in residing in the area please do not hesitate contacting me for more local information!

Why they chose this property

This property really allows you to experience the beauty of Lake Norman with its open and inviting lay out. It has a 1.5 acre lot and large back porch. The house is slightly back in a cove, but just around the corner is open water and the main channel. Being in a cove, the house is very relaxing and quiet. My favorite part is the fact the house faces the west and you get the most breathtaking sunset!

What makes this property unique

The house has a very open floor plan and glass sliding doors that give you a full view of the lake from where ever you are in the house. It was built in the 1960s, so I would definitely say it has a retro and unique vibe. For example, the house has a surround sound intercom system you control from the kitchen and can hear from any room! Turn on the local FM station and you can jam throughout the whole house! The house also has an indoor fire place and an outdoor fire pit. I also have included a propane grill, with 2 picnic tables (one on the patio, one on the dock) and patio furniture so ample enjoyment is possible. There are also kayaks and a paddle board!

The dock has 2 ladders for you to go in and out of the water. It has a picnic table at the end, and a floating piece to attach a boat.

If you are interested in renting lake toys, I rent out the pontoon boat. Westport marina (very close to the house) rents out practically every water toy you can think of.
