Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Norman

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.

We had a great stay to celebrate my husband’s first Father’s Day. It was great to have direct access to Lake Norman and we had a great time kayaking and swimming with our 10 month old. Lake Norman State Park was just 15 minutes away and we had a great little hike there.

This lake house was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true escape. The house had everything we needed for a perfect family getaway—cozy, clean, and so thoughtfully stocked. But what really stole our hearts was the view. Watching the sun set over the water each evening, wrapped in a blanket with nothing but the sound of the lake and laughter in the background, was pure magic. We made beautiful memories here and can’t wait to come back. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us. Highly recommended, we will be back! We also used Lake Effects for our boat rental, they were fantastic! It’s about an 18 minute trip back to the house on the water.

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 :)

This beautiful home was perfect for our wedding guests for a busy wedding weekend. We loved sitting out on the spacious deck overlooking the water and visiting with everyone. Just a short distance from Chickadee Hill Farms if you’re looking for a good place for your out of town guests.

We had a wonderful stay in this new and pristine home. This is a beautiful space with a great pool and easy access to the lake via the house’s boat dock. The house is far into a cove, offering great privacy, but also no issue having our boat docked right there. The house was well stocked and the host was very responsive and helpful. All around great place! Thanks.

Very cozy home on the lake. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t very cooperative but we enjoyed our time and the home. The inside of the home is very clean, spacious, and accommodating. The outside could have used a bit more cleaning, but it had been raining a lot and I’m sure that contributed to the dirt along the decks and outdoor furniture.

Staying at this beautiful house on Lake Norman in Denver, NC, was nothing short of perfection. From the moment I booked the property to the day I checked out, the entire experience was seamless and enjoyable. The house itself was so stunning and well-maintained that it’s honestly difficult to put into words just how wonderful it was. Every corner of the property exuded comfort and care, making it a true retreat. The host deserves a special mention for their responsiveness; any question or concern I had was addressed promptly and thoroughly. Their clear communication and attentiveness made the entire process feel effortless, which is always a bonus when planning a getaway. The kayak was fun and relaxing. My wife had never been and she doesn't speak English. It turns out I don't speak Spanish when kayaks are about to tip over and I need to say "No te apoyes." Only downside: no nearby places to take an evening walk or grab some ice cream or souvenirs.

Great stay!!!! Great location.

Great location with easy access to Uptown. Very clean and well stocked - would definitely stay again when in Charlotte.

We really enjoyed our stay at Lakefront Serenity. The view was beautiful, house cozy, and loved the friendly cats! ❤️ We felt right at home and had everything we needed. The pedal boat was fun, too.

Great location - lots of restaurants and activities to do.

Thank you so much Udo!! We cannot recommend this place enough. It was so wonderful and cozy. The location was perfect, so nice and walkable. Udo was so helpful and the best host.

Great place beautiful property

Thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay. Cathy was responsive. The apartment was classy, clean and neat. It rained while we were there but we still got out to enjoy Davidson and some great restaurants. My husband had to hold several Zoom meetings for work and the WIFI and internet worked great. No problems. Beautiful area and beautiful home and apt. Hope to go again.

Nitin's place was in an awesome location, only a short distance from everything. Everything looked just like the photos with very helpful check in and local guide information. Thanks for the great stay!

Carmen’s place was centrally located, spotless and she helped accommodate some requests which made our stay easy. Thank you. Highly recommended.

As advertised! We enjoyed are stay. Marc was easy to work with.

Outstanding location and quality apartment. Josh was so helpful both before arrival and during stay.

Linda's condo was exactly as it was described, and yes, the beautiful trees and scenery around it made it very peaceful. The condo is very welcoming, the furnishings made us feel right at home, and the location is great! Linda was always responsive and flexible during the process. It was a great experience! We will definitely be going back!

I enjoyed my stay! I had some troubles getting inside when I first arrived (completely my fault lol) but Eugenie came immediately to help me out! I loved all the natural light as well! Great location! 10/10

Even though I was only here for one night, it was one of the best places I’ve stayed at. Getting inside was made easy with clear instructions and photos. When I arrived, the home was very clean. And from the windows is a lovely view. You get a lot of good natural light in here. The bed is super comfortable, I slept great. Would stay again if in the area!

The location was perfect!! We booked this weekend so we’d be walking distance to the Bank of America Stadium for the Metallica concert! Not only did we feel right at home, but we felt safe and the location was fantastic! We visited the Uptown Farmer’s Market Saturday morning, also conveniently walkable. The apartment was exceptionally clean, furnished with all necessities and we would definitely stay here again! Perk, bed was super comfy!!

Excellent spot to stay in downtown Davidson! Spacious, private, walkable, comfortable - couldn’t ask for anything else. We look forward to returning!
