Green Heron Cottage
Welcome to Green Heron Cottage!
If the cottage is unavailable for your dates or you are interested in a larger home, please consider our other home Kingfisher Cabin, Listing number 2732858.
This home has been recently renovated inside and out. New air conditioning installed upstairs and down for 2022 season. Although in a quiet cove, the private dock has deep water, great views and lots of space to hang. There are 2 paddleboards, wonder noodles and water lounges as well as some water toys and beach towels available to use during your stay. There are lots a places here to relax and enjoy the lake - my favorite is the hanging chair on the top deck! There are rocking chairs on the top deck, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. A love seat and chairs on the lower porch for sipping a beverage with friends. A table and chairs with umbrella on the pier for eating lunch while fishing and swimming. A set of lounge chairs on the dock for reading that neglected stack of magazines. A large patio with dining table and picnic table, perfect for sharing a meal with family while enjoying the sunset. Then flip on the string lights and enjoy those perfect summer nights by the water. The kitchen is fully appointed with dishes, utensils, cookware and small appliances including a blender, coffee maker, toaster and crock pot. There are also some cooking basics such as common spices, flour, sugar, oil and coffee. A 36" Blackstone griddle is located on the upstairs deck, close to the kitchen. There are 3 bedrooms in the home. The first and second bedrooms have queen sized beds and the third is a bunk room with a full sized bed on bottom and twin up. Crib and highchair provided upon request. There is wireless internet available as well as 3 flat screen TV's with Roku, Netflix and Disney+ service. There are also books, board games and cards. A half bath up is located upstairs, and a full bath with deep soaker tub is located on the same level as the bedrooms. We recently added an outdoor lake shower with hot and cold water for rinsing off. The lower level also has the washer and dryer.
We truly want all our guests to enjoy our Green Heron Cottage as much as we do and try to provide everything needed to simply come and relax.
For the protection of the home and the safety those who help maintain it, there are security cameras on the exterior of the cottage viewing the front porch and garage area.

The owner has covered all the bases making this house a wonderful place to stay. It's charming and peaceful and very clean! The beds are all very comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay.
We had a great stay. Very comfortable property, well-appointed. Had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing weekend at the lake. Adorable decor with very thoughtful presentation. Would absolutely stay again.
The house is amazing and we found something new that impressed us every day. From high quality fixtures to cute books on the bathroom, there are so many fun decorations. Super clean and most importantly, comfortable beds
Lake was beautiful!!! The house had everything we needed and was so cute on the inside. The outside needs some work but was still perfect for what we needed! We would stay here again!!
Awesome place to stay!! The house was sitting in a nice quiet cove that was very peaceful. Grandkids enjoyed fishing and swimming off the dock after long days tubing on the water. Everyone had a blast!!
We absolutely loved this house. Felt right at home. Enjoyed sitting on the back porch and watching the birds and squirrels. We had a bald eagle fly by one morning and watched several hawks grab fish from the lake. We will definitely come back here!!!
Check in was super easy and the interior of the house is very nice, well decorated, and clean. Docked a star because the outside area could use a little work (power wash/plants that aren’t dead). Would still definitely stay here again!!
We had an absolutely wonderful (and most relaxing) stay at your place! It was a great location and all of the included amenities truly impressed us. Our kids enjoyed fishing and swimming off of your dock, and we loved having our family dinners on your patio (outdoor space with string lights was a bonus). Thanks for sharing your little gem and hopefully we'll be able to visit again!
Well appointed! Very clean and spacious. The host is responsive. The water was warm and the outdoor spaces were perfect for our family. The Green Heton was exactly as was listed
It was the perfect getaway for me and my best friend. The house and property were better than what I could of imagined. We brought some kitchen items with us so that we could eat in, but we didn’t need them. The kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the variety of places to hang out on the property and enjoy nature.
The home is beautiful! Just what we needed for our stay! The amount of thought that was put in to every detail from the cute signage, labels, having all of the convenience items you could think of, and more! The lake was quiet and there was so much room for boating, riding jet skis, paddle boarding, kayaking and just floating! The perfect getaway!
We had the absolute BEST time at the Green Heron. The owners thought of everything that I guest might need. Those little details mean a lot. The house is decorated so cute and it’s so clean. It was so nice to relax and unwind. We will definitely be staying here again!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Would definitely staybagain! Such a beautiful spot overlooking the lake. Beautifully furnished home and well-equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds and furniture. Charming lighting throughout. Several lovely gathering places outside! And so many beautiful windows and doors to see it all! Be advised it's a bit steep if you're traveling with any folks who are unsteady on their feet.Baby gate provided for top of stairs.
Been vacationing on Lake Norman since 1989. The covered slip was a plus and also the no wake zone. The house was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities our family needed for the week. We enjoyed making pancakes on the Blackstone Grill!
The cottage is in a great neighborhood and fairly secluded, not like other places along Lake Norman. It was the perfect size for 2 adults, 2 teens and a younger kid. The kids really enjoyed fishing off the dock, every day, all day!
The house has everything you need for your stay, including towels for the lake! We were grateful for all the amenities that they provided.
One of the best surprises, the house is SO close to a mountain biking park. It is the perfect place to bike, trail run, hike and there is even a playground. The pickleball courts were pretty busy, but that is also a bonus! There is a pier to fish and a spot to launch kayaks, paddle boards or a canoe. Great location.
Overall, we were extremely pleased with the house, the location and the amount of things to do in the area.
This recently renovated lake home has everything you need. Sheets, bath towels and lake towels are plentiful. Kitchen utensils, pots, pans snd appliances are readily available. The kitchen is stocked better than my own- even a crock pot! The place was clean, the beds were very comfortable (I wish I looked to see what kind of mattress it was!) and there were even plants and flowers in large planters for some nice landscaping. This home is on a quiet cove of Lake Norman. The location is a bit more remote than I expected but stores and pharmacy are less than 10 minutes away. The only thing to be aware of if you experience any kind of mobility disability is that there are quite a few steps to get to the dock, as with many lake homes. Really nice house with all the extras.
We needed a “get away” from the holiday hustle and “real life” in general. The Green Heron did not disappoint.
The house was the perfect size for us to relax, unwind and regroup to begin the new year!
Upon arrival, we found the home to be clean, beautifully decorated and just as described in the listing.
Because of the season, we didn’t use the outdoor amenities, like the boat dock, grill, outdoor shower, etc.
The bed we used was comfy, and we were comfortable in general. The water pressure / temperature in the shower was great. Plenty of extra towels, blankets, etc.
We noticed a high chair in the kitchen closet, a baby gate too, in case you have toddlers with you for your stay. We have grandchildren, so we noticed, even though they didn’t stay with us on this trip.
The kitchen was well appointed with cookware, utensils, coffee pot, tea pot etc and we did cook a few meals during our stay.
I am a quilter and used the dining room to sew a bit while we were there while my husband enjoyed the television / internet with Netflix, Hulu and Disney+ subscriptions.
We will definitely consider renting this precious home again in the future.
