A Perfect Lake Getaway! I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful cabin on the lake, and I can’t recommend it enough! The cabin was incredibly clean and well-maintained, providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere for our stay. The peaceful surroundings made for a truly relaxing experience. Brooke was an amazing host, making the check-in process seamless with clear and easy instructions. He was also very responsive and attentive, ensuring that our stay was comfortable.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ PRIVATE PENINSULA on LAKE NORMAN

MeganRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great little lakeside gem. My kids didn’t want to leave, they loved the lake, catching fish, looking for toads, having s’mores at the campfire and exploring. The place is quaint, peaceful, clean, and relaxing. The only constructive feedback would be the shower is small and had little water pressure . This would not hold us back from renting again though.

Boho Hideaway

JayRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I want to say this place was so at home. I felt we were in cabin and being rural, at the same time so close to whatever we needed. the surrounding was absolutely breathtaking. The cabin was so clean and equipped. My son loved the fact he could stay in loft by himself, and still being close to us. we loved to hear birds, and rooster singing around and we also meet some locals and neighbors; very friendly. Robin and Jay were so kind when I needed to talk to them and John helped me to find the local event, even though we didn't go (we had so much fun just being at cabin). Overall we loved, loved it and loved it. Thank you Robin and Jay for creating such a lovely place to stay in; felt so at home. Sarah, Jay and Benjamin

Carol’s Cottage-private resort

JustinRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Karen’s home is beautiful! The pictures didn’t compare to how amazing the home looks in person. The back yard is private and has everything you could need in a getaway. The hot tub was great. Karen has offered a lot of options with things to do while you’re at her Airbnb. There is a projector screen on the back patio with multiple chairs to enjoy a movie outside and Karen even offers heated blankets for when it’s cold! All around we loved our stay at carol’s cottage and will definitely be planning to come back. Karen was respectful, reasonable & attentive as our host. I would recommend to anybody to come stay here. It’s worth the trip!

7 Bedroom Updated Lake House Close to Charlotte

RobertRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Patrick was a wonderful host! Very responsive whenever we had a question or need. The location was perfect for a family vacation, readily accommodating seven adults and four grandkids, ages 1 to 8. Fabulous views of the lake from the house and pool deck. Our grandkids caught many fish from the dock, including a couple of nice catfish. The kayaks were easy to launch and retrieve, and our 22 foot boat fit nicely alongside the outer dock. Five stars in all regards!

Peaceful Zen Retreat w/Hot Tub, Min to Uptown!

SondraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The house was great and the beds were very comfortable. The backyard was peaceful, especially at night with the lights and the hot tub. We had our adult sons with us and we could not hear them moving around and watching TV while we were sleeping, the house is sound proof! I did have to sweep off the back patio furniture when we arrived, it didn't look like that had been done in a while, or it might have just been from a storm - no big deal, the broom was easy to find. The house is older, with a nice mid-century modern vibe - very cozy. I would stay there again.

Lake Norman Cabin-Lake Front-Private Boat Dock-

LauraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The cabin was fantastic. Plenty of space for a multi family trip. Right on the lake. The game room in the basement was great. The fire pit was very nice. A couple of minor maintenance issues but the host was very responsive. Only caution is if you plan on docking a boat there, the water depth was very low and made it a challenge. You also have to go under a low bridge to get there! Would definitely stay again.

Your guide to Charlotte

Welcome to Charlotte

Cosmopolitan Charlotte is North Carolina’s largest city, with towering Uptown skyscrapers, unique museums, and a plethora of lively neighborhoods steeped in history. The municipality rose to prominence in the early 19th century during Carolina’s gold rush, and later prospered thanks to thriving cotton, textile, and banking industries. If you hear someone call it the Queen City, that’s because Charlotte is named after the wife of King George III.

The weather is suitable for adventuring in nature year-round, and the number of indoor and outdoor attractions is staggering; in the morning you can hike the trails in Little Sugar Creek Greenway or spike your adrenaline at the U.S. National Whitewater Center — the world’s largest manmade whitewater river. Later on you can marvel at the NASCAR Hall of Fame or wander the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Finally, you can finish the day strong by sampling craft beers or catching a show at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. These are only a few of the many reasons this place regularly makes lists of the best U.S. cities to live in.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Charlotte

The optimal time to visit Charlotte is in the fall or the spring, when the weather is most temperate, crowds aren’t too bad, and parks and gardens tend to look their best. Summer sees a sharp increase in visitors, but it’s also a fantastic time to experience the U.S. National Whitewater Center and then swap adventure tales over al fresco craft brews in one of the city’s numerous beer gardens. Winter does bring colder climes, but the city’s used to it, and businesses remain open throughout the year. Events you may want to plan a visit around include the Taste of Charlotte food festival in early June and Charlotte Pride in mid-August. Motorsports season at the Charlotte Motor Speedway runs from April to November.
