About this property
What A View! Perfect Family Meeting Place. BIG Views! Optional Boat Rental.
**Thanksgiving and Christmas require a minimum 7 night stay
Just 40 minutes from Charlotte, this renovated 2,700 square foot lakefront retreat offers the perfect mix of comfort, style, and relaxation. Set on a private point with 230 feet of shoreline, it feels like your own hidden escape while still being only five minutes from the boat launch, Publix, gas, and restaurants.
The home sits on a quiet cove with direct access to Lake Norman, giving you calm, clear waters for swimming and fishing, while the main channel is only a short ride away. With no bridges in the way, boating is easy and worry-free.
Inside, there’s plenty of room for everyone with three bedrooms, a loft, and three and a half bathrooms that comfortably sleep up to twelve guests. The master suite features a king bed, private bath, and beautiful lake views, while the queen bedroom has its own balcony overlooking the water. A third bedroom with two bunk sets (twin over full/queen) makes it perfect for kids or larger groups. The private loft and cozy game room with a pull-out couch provide even more sleeping space and hangout areas.
The house is stocked with entertainment for all ages, including Roku TVs, kayaks, bikes, basketball, ping pong, a pool table, arcade games, and a swing set for the little ones. Outside, the level yard is ideal for games like horseshoes, badminton, and bocce. Evenings are best spent gathered around the fire pit under the stars, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories.
For days on the water, you’ll love the spacious sun deck and private dock, perfect for swimming, fishing, or just soaking up the view. Guests also have the option to rent a Godfrey Pontoon with a 115HP Yamaha for $1,700 per week or $550 per day (two-day minimum), plus tax, fuel, and a refundable deposit.
This is a family-friendly retreat designed for relaxation and fun, but please note that weddings or large events are not permitted.
Whether you’re planning a quiet getaway or an adventure-filled trip with family and friends, this Lake Norman home is the perfect place to make lasting memories.
Thanks for considering our property! Brent

My family and I had a great stay at this property, the home was great, very clean, and accommodated all of us very well. Great lake view, the quiet cove was a great place to swim and kayak. Renting the boat was very easy, and we enjoyed the lake everyday on it. Highly recommended!
Thank you!
We were looking for a place for our family to meet and spend sometime together. Lake Norman was perfect. There was plenty to do and the lake was fantastic. We had an excellent week with our kids and granddaughters.
Spent a week at this beautiful home with a beautiful view. My whole family had a wonderful experience. Having lake access and a boat to use was a huge plus. Would definitely recommend and go back for another family vacation. Owner was very friendly and a pleasure to deal with!!
3 high school friends and their hubbies enjoyed our visit! Views were great. Kayaked, played games and had fun. House was very nice, clean and had everything we needed.
We decided to go away for a weekend on extremely short notice and we found this property to be available, and it was a great stay! It was overall clean and the provided linens were very convenient. If you’re going to stay here, absolutely rent the boat - it’s worth it. **spiders are a thing, but just bring a spray bottle of peppermint oil diluted with water and spray in necessary areas.
We rented Brent's house for the Christmas holiday weekend. The house was spacious, clean and well appointed. Communication with Brent was excellent and he was very responsive. We would definitely rent from Brent again.
Enjoyed our stay in Sherrill’s Ford! The house is a perfect size and has everything we needed. Large bedrooms and nice bathrooms. Wonderful large dining room table and comfy living room. Plenty of seats for all. Beautiful kitchen with large island. Love love love the shady (but perfectly sunny in places) yard. Great view of the lake. enjoyed the pool table, video game (who knew I could still play Ms. PacMan??) and kayaks. We enjoyed it so much!
This house worked perfect for two families. Plenty of sleeping areas for everyone and the house had everything we needed. The location is wonderful on the lake, nice quiet cove to swim in, kayak, and renting the pontoon from the owner was so easy! Plenty of games in the house to keep everyone busy. We had 5 kids age ranges 15-22 and they always had something to do. Thank you for sharing your house with us. I was also super impressed with the check out process and I appreciate not having to do a lot of tasks in the morning when we have flights to get to.

Not as expected
The owner was awesome and very communicative. The house is a nice home, but not a good rental. We have small kids and the game room has no interior access to get to so we never used the room which was a waste. The play ground has some broken parts which one of kids almost fell out of because the handle was not secured. The furniture is beat up, two stools were very shaky and the recliners in the picture are kid size. The location was in a good spot, but there is construction two doors down and so noisy. The patio needs a good wash and the picnic table is a splinter trap. There are no blinds or curtains in the common area. Overall, the money we paid here did not meet what we got. We have gotten more and paid less in other rentals at Lake Norman. I picked this rental because of the location. Once you get there you realize the construction, there are no garbage bags, or paper towels and although we travel with most of this stuff we have never been at a rental where they didn’t provide these basics. The upstairs bathroom tub doesn’t drain well as you shower so you’re standing in water. The cabinets and counters are really low even for me at 5’3”. The kids bunk beds were very thin mattress and one of them have pee stains which made our kids not want to sleep there. The room with the red bed isn’t a room it’s more of a odd space. The kitchen was great to work in, but I do advise to buy ice because the ice had a terrible taste to it as it melts in the drinks.
Our host was outstanding—quick to respond, friendly, and clearly cared about making our stay special. Check-in and check-out were seamless and the location was great. The best part was the view of the lake and easy access to the water.
The place was very nice and very nicely kept. Brent was a great host! Definitely recommend and would stay again! Beautiful spot on the water for a weekend getaway!
Great cottage for the family, lots for the kids to do. Great location.

Great Location; Comfortable home
Our second stay at this property and it was just as good as the first time. Property has everything you’ll need to enjoy a getaway lakeside week. Easy to get to and close to so much.
House was very nice. Didn’t realize the one bathroom couldn’t be accessed from the house. Had to go outside to get to it. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pot and pans, utensils and small appliances.
Home was great for large groups - tons of activities and space, and perfectly situated on the water. Also, check-in process was easy.
Didn't end up using the boat, but looked to be in good shape and ready to use

Great Lake House with lots to do nearby
Clean and well-maintained house right on Lake Norman. Lots of fun indoor and outdoor spaces for the whole family. Great kitchen and grill but plenty of good dining options nearby. The owner was responsive and attentive and the access to boat and drop off WaveRunner rental was great.

We had a really great time here!
Place was really nice and super comfortable! We had 2 families and enjoyed sitting by the dock and using the fire pit! Our families also logged many hours on the arcade game! Lots of competitions for high score! Thanks for a great place!

Quiet, Relaxing and well-equipped
We had a wonderful time at Lake Norman and this property was the majority of the reason. Very nice and clean inside and out with wonderful lake views. The owner was responsive and easy to work with - check-in and check-out were a breeze. Planning another stay in the future.
