The Cottage in the Cove

The Cottage in the Cove is a charming 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bath home on Lake Norman. This warm and cozy cottage has been freshly remodeled while maintaining its charming character with exposed rock walls in the open floor plan living areas. This quaint area is calling you to grab a book, open the doors to the patio and relax into your own little reading nook.

**Currently, the water level is extremely low.**

This house offers three bedrooms upstairs located above the walkout basement living area. The full bath is located upstairs, which has its own double vanity sink with the most elegant marble countertops and shower/bath combination.

We didn’t forget about the view! This house has a lakeside deck that extends the full length of the home! If you call yourself a grill master, test out the propane grill and enjoy a beautiful sunset around the outdoor firepit or from your private dock. The flow of this house is perfect for a weekend getaway. At the risk of sounding cliché- this home is so homey; it truly does feel like a home away from home.

**Currently, the water level is extremely low.**

Bonus - you are in a quiet cove, but you are minutes away from lake restaurants, golf courses, groceries, and more.

Beautiful Getaway

Away from the rush of the east side of the lake, this property was so amazing for me, my husband and dog to spend a few days! The yard is giant and fully-fenced which was great, and we caught a large mouth bass off the boathouse! Quiet and peaceful, we loved this spot! Plenty of trees and shade in the yard, and the house was charming and very clean.

Great place to stay!!

The host messaged us quickly and when we got their checked in on us and when there wasn’t any trash bags he drove all the way to the rental and left us a huge roll of trash bags! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to go back!

Great Stay

The property was very nice and exactly how it is described. It was perfect for our family of 3 and could even fit another if needed. It’s a quiet area due to it being located at the end of a long cove so there’s no boat traffic going by. We utilized the large fenced in yard and fire pit every night and loved it. This is great little property for a small family.

Perfect pocket in the cove!

Great spot, very clean & modern. Was very impressed with the amenities - we caught a lot of fish off the pier, and had a great time. Next time we'll be taking the kayaks out! Thanks for making it a great experience in NC!

Wonderful "hidden gem" retreat!

This property is so quaint and serene! Tucked away in a cove, but conveniently located near a nature preserve, Lake Norman, and Charlotte's many attractions. It made for the perfect getaway for us; loved the extra touches (amenities) of kayaks, fishing gear, games, and s'mores stuff too. Would highly recommend, and love to return again!

Great place

Our family loved this house! We brought our older dog who is used to living on our farm. She loved the yard and was able to roam freely thanks to the fenced lot. Everything inside and out of the property was beautiful! This is our third trip to Lake Norman, and our favorite house yet. We wouldn’t change a thing. The kitchen was the nicest and most equipped I have ever had in a rental. We didn’t have a single complaint about our vacation this year.

Quaint Cottage

Quaint cottage for much needed R&R. Very quiet neighborhood and the house itself was nice. The layout was perfect. Plenty of linens, stocked kitchen and lots of cleaning supplies, which was a nice surprise! Make sure you bring your own paper towels and toilet paper. No spares, just what was out when we got there. We definitely will stay again.

What a Great Space.

The Cottage in the Cove was such a great place for my partner and our pups to visit. The check in instructions were clear and the host was very prompt with all our questions. The house was clean with a fairly well equipped kitchen. The water level of the lake was low during our visit, but the amenities provided by the host ,including the floating dock and kayaks, allowed us to make the most of the lake. They also provided fishing gear which afforded us the opportunity to catch bluegill during the day and catfish in the evenings. The large fenced in yard was perfect for our pups. The shaded lot provided relief from the sun in the hot afternoons. I would highly recommend this listing to anyone who is looking for a low key lake get away.
