About this property

Lake Front Getaway, Family Friendly.

Enjoy the lake life and relax at Bally K, a cozy 3-bedroom cottage on a secluded 1.5-acre waterfront lot. 28 mins from downtown Charlotte, 5 minutes from I-77, in the gold zone for retail and amenities.

This is a low-slope lot. Everybody gets easy access to the water. No steps to climb at the dock, no steps to climb to get home.

Recently renovated with a new kitchen, hardwood floors, and new furnishings. Covered and screened-in porch with dining area. Open deck with great views of the lake.

30' x 30' floating dock. Deepwater lot with 12' - 18' of water at the pier, depending on the season. (12' in winter) Covered gazebo located over the water to enjoy those Lake Norman sunsets.

Get unlimited use of the 4 kayaks and the 2 stand-up paddleboards, all free with rental. Launch them from the dock or the sandy beach at the water's edge. Swim in the safe and protected private bay, no boat traffic, perfect for children of all ages.

Bring your boat, and put it in at Haggar Creek public access. Navigate less than 1/2 a mile back to our pier, and tie it up in the private boat slip.

Time Warner cable with Disney, Nick, Nick Jr, Boomerang, and all of the kid channels. Play Station, Wii, with lots of games. Great place for kids to enjoy their summer vacation.

Free broadband WiFi

10 min drive to Target, Best Buy, Sam's, Wall-Mart, Dick's, Belk's, and more. 10-minute drive to great food or take your boat to one of the many lakefront restaurants.

The house is located in a residential neighborhood. At no time are parties or events permitted on the property.

Relaxing stay
The house is wonderful and the views were instantly relaxing! I stayed for a few days while in town visiting my parents who also stayed. It was the perfect location, tucked back into a quiet residential neighborhood but close to restaurants and stores. The dock and spacious back porch were beautiful! We took the kayaks out for a spin on the lake and my parents really enjoyed their time. The hosts were responsive and the house was immaculate. I plan to return again!

Weekend getaway
Wonderful weekend getaway. Convenient location for food, and amazing home. Very clean and had tons of entertainment options for the kids. We selected this rental based on the ease of access from the home to the water (no steps) and it exceeded all expectations. Would love to revisit this home again!

In addition to Tim & Katherine being accommodating hosts, the peaceful cottage was very clean and well-appointed with a full kitchen & linens. The view from the screen porch is serene & the fishing from dock proved to be successful!

Summertime Cottage
We loved staying at Bally-K. Despite the dreadful heat and humidity, it was so lovely to be in a simple, cozy cottage in a small cove. Quiet, relaxing, and welcoming. All things we needed were provided and more! From the flowers, to the treats - we loved our stay and will definitely be back!

The Bally K Cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. It was not only comfortable and well-appointed but also beautifully maintained. Nestled along the serene lake, the location was ideal for swimming, kayaking, and simply unwinding amidst nature's splendor.

Timothy was very prompt in responding to me. The house was very clean, organized, and had everything that you could possibly need. Timothy was so accommodating; we were greeted with fresh fruit, chocolates, cookies, and a lovely welcome note. We could not have asked for a better girls weekend away. Thank you, Timothy, we will be back! Cheers, Dawn

We have been vacationing to NC beaches for over 20 years and now LOVE the lake! This house was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teenagers). The beautiful property, quiet location and cleanliness of the house was exactly as described. The communication with the owners was prompt and detailed. We will definitely be returning!

Wonderful stay
The place was lovely; simple and calm; the view spectacular; the thoughtfulness of the hosts to provide treats and flowers and the ease of not having to deal with bedding and towels made the stay so easy. Having the water toys (kayaks, paddle boards, large float, big ball) available made it extra fun! Thank you for a lovely stay!

We had an absolute amazing time during our stay. Everything was perfect. We brought our son and his GF to celebrate surviving their first year of college. The weather was unbelievable. We had lots of good food, went kayaking, rented a boat, and enjoyed our lakeside fires. I highly recommend and look forward to our next stay. It was perfection!

Hidden Gem!
We were in love from the moment we turned into the driveway! Breathtaking view of the lake, cozy and inviting entrance to the cottage with windows that allowed views of the backyard and dock…just perfect for our week to enjoy the lake with family and friends. Plenty of space inside and outside the house with all the amenities needed for a fun week at the lake! Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Tom O'Hare

Host profile image
Céad Míle Fáilte (Irish for a hundred thousand welcomes)

Born in Ireland, Tom and Katie lived and worked all over the world. Their 2 children attended American schools in Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and Indonesia.

Although they traveled extensively, they always called Charlotte home. Now retired, they spend part of the year at their home in Mooresville, and the rest in Northern Ireland.

Bally K was purchased in 1982 as a vacation home. Both Tom and Katie have a passion for hosting. Since owning a chain of boutique motels seemed out of reach, (and a lot of work) Bally K Cottage was born.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, lakefront, residential neighborhood, close to amenities. 1.5 acre wooded lot on a cul-de-sac.

What makes this property unique

Low slope lot with no stairs to climb. Private dock with boat slip and easy access into the water.
