Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Norman of Catawba

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.

Spent a weekend away with friends - 4 adults and 4 kids. This house was perfect! Kitchen had everything you need to cook, and bedrooms were great for adults and kids. The dock area was awesome - the kids fished off the dock and we all enjoyed floating/relaxing in the water! The evening sunset views are incredible. Would for sure stay here again!

Great home ! Directly on lake . Lots to do at the home as well as surrounding area.

Egrets Escape was perfect for our short stay in Lake Norman. As with most lake areas, you’ll find that miles on a map equates to much longer times on the roads to get anywhere but this place was conveniently located not far from a Publix in an easily accessible area. While the place is small, it has everything you need, whimsically designed and was absolutely spotless!! It was beautiful to just sit outside by the lake. We took the canoe out briefly, caught a very small fish with the baby rod provided 😄 and cooked out on the blackstone. We really appreciated the little coffee bar upstairs. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful home. Perfect for our group of 8 adults & 4 children. We especially enjoyed the outside amenities; pool, hot tub, fire pit, kayaks, paddleboards, and dock for fishing (and tying up the pontoon boat we rented for 2 days). We highly recommend!!!

Great location! Very responsive host! Game room and master bedroom upstairs was a huge hit!!

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.

I had a lovely stay at this Airbnb! The place was nice and cozy—just what I needed for a relaxing trip. Everything was clean and well taken care of, and the atmosphere felt very welcoming. The host was friendly and responsive, which made the experience even better. I’d definitely stay here again!

Nitin was a fantastic, responsive host! His instructions for check in/check out and accessing the space were very thorough, easy to follow and even had visuals! Plus the space had beautiful interior design that was very eclectic, artsy, and fit our vibe perfectly. The record player was a huge bonus since my husband is a musician and we’re both music lovers. Would absolutely stay again when we’re back in Charlotte!

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.

A charming private space in a nice area of Hickory, convenient to everything. We would stay again!

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

Very responsive host, answered all of my questions in a timely manner. The place was nice and clean. Would recommend for a weekend in Charlotte.

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!

Great stay. Host was super responsive. Only a twenty minute walk from Bank of America Stadium. The place had everything a person or couple would need for a great weekend in Charlotte.

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!
