Jun 27, 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Not the experience we hoped for My extended family has rented a lake or beach house every summer for over a decade, and unfortunately, this was our least favorite. While the house has potential—it’s spacious, has two full refrigerators plus a mini fridge, a great lakefront location, and ample parking—it's poorly maintained and needs serious attention.We had no hot water for nearly three days. While I understand that things break, the owner didn’t offer an apology until day 3 and offered no compensation. He admitted it had gone out the week prior, and the electrician had to replace a melted fuse box—an obvious safety concern. Water pressure in all showers was weak, and one basement shower didn’t drain properly or get hot due to a mismatched handle.The thermostat frequently reset itself to 82, making it difficult to stay comfortable. There were lots of gnats in the kitchen and bugs downstairs. The vacuum, ice maker and several dining chairs were broken. The living room only seated five people, far less than pictured. Two mattresses were loud and uncomfortable. The front bedrooms showed wall separation at the edges—concerning from a structural standpoint, and overall, the house needed a good deep cleaning.We’ve stayed in many homes over the years, and this one felt neglected. With proper repairs and upkeep, it could be a great rental—but in its current state, we wouldn’t return or recommend it. ##### Lara J. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marla A.

Contactless check-in. Excellent communication with owner. House is HUGE. Group of 5 adults, 3 kids and we had lot of extra room. Open floor plan great for socializing; bedrooms nicely were spread out on each of the levels. Main floor is accessible from driveway, has bedrooms without steps and direct access to deck; all great for unloading groceries and for anyone needing to minimize up/down stairs. Well stocked kitchen, bonus full size fridge & mini bar fridge. Kids enjoyed all the amenities - kayaks, fishing & swimming from dock, firepit, game room, hot tub etc. Kitchen well stocked; bathroom towels well stocked; starter soaps/shampoos as expected. Gave a few minor recommendations to owner, but overall would highly recommend this rental. ##### Rebecca L. Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew B. Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and nice house Our group consisted of 8 adults, 4 children (ages 9 to 13), and 2 dogs (German Shorthaired Pointer and Sharpei). We had booked this house a year in advance due to our busy schedules and the availability of the house during the 4th of July holiday. The house is laid out well, giving all of our party privacy, if needed. The "game room/media center" lower level was great for the kids and they used it whenever they weren't in the water. Our son brought his large (24 ft?) pontoon boat, which we had stationed at the provided dock, at the house. Paddle boards, kayak, and beach recliners were provided and used the entire time we were there. The house is located on a cove area on the lake that is a "no wake" area, which makes it nice, especially with smaller kids in the water. The property is on a steep hill and the stairs/inclines are all done well, but anyone with limited mobility may want to look at other properties to rent. All of the deck and dock area was utilized continuously during our stay, although they where needing some work. I texted the owner while we were there about the condition of them, he stated that he was aware and he was planning on working on them right after our rental time was up. Overall, we all really enjoyed our stay at this house and we would definitely recommend anyone with a large group to consider this property for their next vacation. ##### Matthew B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael W. Jul 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Would have been perfect .... We had a wonderful week at Lake Norman, a fun-filled time that we made work for our large family, despite several issues highlighted below. The site was close to the beautiful lake, with a moderate drop to the nice pier at the edge, accessible by a paved walk. We were able to dock our rental pontoon boat without any difficulty at the location. It was great to have a couple of stand-up paddle boards and two one-person kayaks available. A The kitchen had about all the necessities (although a small table or island would have been nice), and the place was clean. But we did not have a favorable impression upon our arrival. The grass had not been mowed and the trash cans were all overfilled. (It is a problem for this and possibly other rental properties in the vicinity since the trash is collected on Thursdays but turnover for renters is on Saturdays.) The gas grill was dirty and the propane tank empty, which we had to fill and would not mind be being reimbursed for. Moreover, indoors we had sixteen bath towels for the nineteen people we had listed as coming for the week. We finally received additional towels on Thursday afternoon, two nights before our departure. We became aware that the owner/manager was only at the job for about a year, and we can accept the fact that some leeway might be warranted for these deficiencies. In fact, he did request constructive comments.But given our experience, we give it 3-1/2 stars out of 5. ##### Michael W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### WILLIAM D. Jul 21, 2022 Liked: Location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### needs work \>>>> Jay, I wanted you to see the review I am going to post on your place. This review is a compilation of the input I received from my family as this was a family reunion. We do this every two years and Lake Norman is our chosen spot as it is in the middle of where we all permanently live. We have rented other large houses on the Lake so we all have experienced other rentals. >>>> The biggest issue for us was that the house is infested with mice. One family left as the wife could not stay due to her aversion to mice. We did see mice on numerous occasions. There was a sighting in the kitchen/ living room are, one in the master bedroom and one in the downstairs bedroom. The pull out couches did have mouse droppings in them and also the the cutlery drawer. No one pulled out any of the couches to sleep on them once they found the droppings. We realize this is a lake property, butwe have not experienced this in any of the other rentals. >>>> The second big issue was the lack of sufficient towels. There is certainly not enough for the number of people that can be accommodated. At most there was one towel per person. Usually two towels per person is provided. We do know that we are expected to wash the towels during our stay as needed, but we also expect an adequate number of towels for the number of guests. >>>> The rest of our complaints are minor in comparison to the above, so I am just going to list them in no particular order >>>> —-The overall appearance of the interior of the house needs some refreshing. It looks worn, and thus dirty( look at the door knobs around the door to the deck for an example). >>>> —-No room for garbage as the cans were filled from the day we arrived. We assume it was garbage from the previous renter. I did call you on this and you told me you would stop by to empty them. We never did see you. >>>> —-There are nails sticking out on the dock. Many stubbed toes. >>>> —- When we looked under the kitchen sink we found a big pot . It was there due to a leaking garbage disposal. The pot would have been useful for cooking . >>>> —— The refrigerator was leaking so much that there was a towel being used to keep the water from spreading across the floor from the time we first entered the house. This was also mentioned to you in the same call as the garbage. It was also never addressed. >>>> —- No umbrellas for the deck. This made the deck unusable for large parts of the day except for the two areas by the bedroom ##### WILLIAM D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa E.
