Tranquility Cove - Beautiful Lakefront Apartment

CarolRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Wow, what a location right by the lake! We absolutely loved this accommodation. its tastefully decorated, calm, peaceful and private. the living space is sociable and the front porch allows you to enjoy the view of the lake, the birds and just the wonderful peaceful atmosphere. there are kyaks and paddle boards and a beautiful dining area on the jetty. Comfortable beds, pretty linen, great bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen make it feel top end. Clearly this place is loved by the owner and we recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil stay. we came to Charlotte for the Speedway but we're so happy we got out of town to explore the countryside and enjoy Lake Norman. Downtown Moorseville is about 20 mins away and was a lovely place for a bit if shopping and some nice coffee ☕️ Thank you Patricia. we highly recommend your beautiful place at Tranquility Cove x

Stunning Lake Views-Private Bliss- 2 BR Apartment

AdamRating, 5 stars3 months ago
I have used James many times now to lodge employees from Minnesota while attending training in the Charlotte area. All aspects of our interactions have been EXCELLENT! My employees request to stay there versus a hotel. The amenities, cleanliness, location, and peacefulness of the lake far out weigh anything a local hotel can offer. He's always the first place we look to book. 100% recommended.

The Birdhouse at Lake Norman

LyndaRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Dear Robert and Charleen, Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. The Bird House is truly a gem, and you are blessed to own it. The pictures on Airbnb do not do the house justice. As I entered on Wednesday, my breath was taken away; the views of the lake and natural light filled every room. The beauty of the natural surroundings, together with the well-thought-out interior design and appointments, made our experience one to remember. My mother and I truly had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving. You had very clear notes regarding how to work everything (the blinds). Clearly, a lot of thought was put into what would make guests comfortable (lap blankets and a variety of lighting with dimmers), and all of the items one would use at home were in the kitchen, enabling us not to have one worry during our stay. We hope to return during warmer weather to enjoy the outdoors.

Lake house

ChristinaRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Loved staying here, it’s a cozy little spot right on the lake. Neighbors are so friendly, since there’s a shared dock, you do walk through the neighbors yard just a little to get on the dock. Loved waking up to the lake everyday. My son LOVED seeing fire flies and catching them. Only two things missing, the cushions for the outdoor patio furniture and bath mats to step on after a shower. The location is perfect, not far from Publix and general shopping needs. 10/10 would love to go back again :)

Lake Escape's Sun-Kissed

JenniferRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We have stayed in a LOT of airbnbs over the years, and this was one of the best! Adam and Jessica have put so much thought into everything from the furniture layout (so much seating) to the phone charging stations, we truly were blown away. It was immaculately clean, stocked with everything you'd want including firewood for the fire pit, all kitchen supplies, beach and shower towels...I honestly can't think of anything I'd change. Thank you for a wonderful Davidson graduation weekend for our family!

Harbor View - Lake Norman Vacation Condo - Dogs OK

SummerRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We chose this condo for a girls’ week (plus budget planning for 2025). We wanted a place we didn’t have to leave; somewhere where we could cozy up and enjoy the week - and we did just that! We didn’t leave the condo (except to walk my dog - it’s pet friendly!) all week until the night of the concert we were going to. It was very clean and the kitchen had everything you’d need. Katie was super helpful prior to the trip and during. Very responsive! The fireplace you see in the photos doesn’t work. It was pretty cold the week we were there and it snowed so it would have been nice to have been able to turn that on. Not a huge deal, but just an fyi. Again, Katie was fabulous and I would rent from her again!

Quaint and Cozy Lake Norman Condo

SandraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We absolutely loved this condo! Very homey & comfortable. One room also had a twin bed in addition to the queen bed. The patio overlooked the pool and marina/harbor and a restaurant, which was less than a 5 minute walk. It was a beautiful area to walk the dog. Yes, you can see & hear I-77 from the patio & pool but could not hear it from inside the condo. Downtown Davidson & Harris Teeter (grocery store) was less than 5 minutes away. We would absolutely stay here again! Such a beautiful area!

Lakefront Condo on Lake Norman!

HannahRating, 5 stars2 days ago
This condo was probably the most organized and comprehensive Airbnb expereinces I have had. The condo is very well stocked with everything you need. It opens right up to the pool and you have a nice view of the Marina. Great for a small family. Very easy location - right off the highway. Kim was incredibly responsive. Checking out was easy - there's a checklist to review right on the counter.
A comfortable living area features hardwood flooring and a decorative fireplace. A mounted TV is above the mantel with lighted shelves displaying glassware nearby. Sliding glass doors open to a balcony, inviting natural light and showcasing a view of outdoor seating.

Waterfront Lake Norman Retreat w/ Pool Access!

KristyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This stay was everything I hoped for and more. The furniture throughout the home was incredibly comfortable—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The decor struck a beautiful balance between stylish and cozy, creating a space that felt both thoughtfully designed and welcoming. One of the highlights was definitely the porch. The views were beautiful —perfect for morning coffee or unwinding in the evening—and the outdoor furniture was just as inviting as the interior. Every detail was curated for comfort and beauty. I would absolutely stay here again.

Cozy Davidson Lake Norman escape

AnneRating, 5 stars10 months ago
One of the best decisions we made on a recent trip to NC was staying for 3 nights at Desiree’s lakefront condo in Davidson. Located on an inlet of beautiful Lake Norman this 2-bedroom rental exceeded our expectations. Curbside parking and ground-level access made entering and exiting the property quick and easy. And the 2-bedroom arrangement allowed us to put our 4-year old granddaughter to bed early while we stayed up to take in the view of the harbor or watch our favorite shows on the large-screen TV in our bedroom. We also enjoyed eating breakfast on the back porch and cooling off in the nearby pool. We did not have the time to enjoy all of the amenities the rental offered, but we made good use of the kitchen (with dishwasher and utensils) and the washer-dryer. Desiree’s lakefront property was a wise investment and contributed significantly to our enjoyment during our stay. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone seeking a quiet, private, and relaxing retreat!

LKN Dream Condo - Lake Norman Vacation Rental

SeanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a wonderful stay here for our son’s wedding weekend. The location was perfect for all the wedding events and absolutely stunning—right on the lake, with a boardwalk just behind the condo. The unit itself was spotless and very comfortable. There was a last-minute issue with repaving and restricted parking access (completely out of the host’s control), but the host communicated immediately and went out of their way to help us navigate it. Overall, an excellent choice and one we’d happily recommend.
