Lake Norman Vacation

Great house on the lake! The house was clean and had everything we needed. I recommend renting their pontoon boat for the day to explore Lake Norman.

Peaceful and Relaxing Lake Stay

The property was beautiful. It has everything you need to enjoy a lake property (dock with deck and lounge chairs, kayaks and life vests) The bar area with the dart board and view of the lake was really nice! The deck off the house was wonderful with a full table, chairs and umbrella. We had a wonderful relaxing time!

Lake Norman vacation

We highly recommend using Zach's house for a vacation. We couldn't ask for a better experience. Zach and his Mom were wonderful with us. We recommend renting the pontoon while you are there. We had 3 of our younger grandchildren with us and they said they liked it better then a beach vacation. I wished we could have stayed longer.

Great spot!

We went up for a lacrosse tournament with a few teenage girls. Perfect place for adults and kids. House was great as all reviews say, but having the outside bar area was key for the adults to hang out while the teenagers took over the living room. Girls had a blast playing off the dock swimming and kayaks, and the back deck is perfect for morning coffee and relaxing. Wish we had more time at the house and will rent this again for sure!

A great stay!

We had a really nice time at the lakehouse! It was so clean inside and had everything we needed. The deck by the water was where we spent most of our time and the best part was the giant tree provided a lot of shade almost all day! We also rented the boat and while it was pricey we were happy with it and the communication around the rental and operating it were really easy. We'd love to come back and stay longer! Tip for those booking: the temperature was comfortable throughout the house but the back right bedroom got the coldest if that's important to ya ;)

Very nice

We enjoyed this property very much. We did not enjoy the size or comfort of the beds. There should be more mirrors for us women and little bit more of a feminine touch is needed as far as comfort and lighting but other than that it really did the job!

Incredible House, Location, and Host

This place was perfect on so many levels. It didn't hurt that the weather was perfect, causing everything to glow. We used this house while visiting for graduation at Davidson and now want to rebook for a week to enjoy it along with the boat. The place was clean, comfortable, open enough to manage the larger family in one area, and stocked with everything we needed. The grounds and deck are beautiful. Zack was gracious with his input and very quick with communication. We had super easy access to a variety of grocery stores and restaurants. (Although we rarely left the deck). If you're considering it, book it. You won't be disappointed.

Great home on quiet cove!!!

We just got back from an AWESOME week at Zack's house! The first thing you can tell is how much work and care he has put into it! The house has recently been updated and you can tell it's well maintained and clean! The beds are so comfortable! And although we spent most of our time out on the lake or dock, the kids loved having a Netflix account to use on the TV at night before bed! The new sun deck down by the dock is a terrific place to sit and enjoy the quiet evenings on the cove! Plenty of space and chairs! And the cove, not having heavy boat traffic, was the perfect place for the kids to swim or fish right off the dock! Zack was always a phone call or text away if we had a question or needed anything. But he's thought of it all ahead of your arrival! We ABSOLUTELY would recommend staying here as it has a great location onto the main body of the lake (5 minutes by boat), but it's removed just the right distance to be quiet and serene.

Great 4th of July stay!

Rented the house and a boat to go along with it for 6 adults over 4th of July week. House is “cozy,” very clean and had everything we needed for a great time. Had an air conditioning issue on the holiday, but owners were amazingly responsive and got it fixed right away! Terrific stay!

Exceeded All Expectations

Great place! Very clean when we arrived, and there were lots of amenities. The bar in the backyard was the cherry on top. The lake makes for a very relaxing atmosphere, but there is also lots to do in the nearby Charlotte area. Definitely worth every penny. The owners take really good care of the place and do a very good job of making you feel welcome. It was definitely an above average experience for my group overall. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a place on the water.

Will book again!

Very quiet neighborhood. Not much passerby traffic since it’s a cul-de-sac. Everything at the house was very accommodating. We fished from the dock, and couldn’t keep the fish off our lines. It will be hard not to stay here again when returning to Lake Norman. We highly recommend this place!

Wonderful experience! Saved our vacation!

We were supposed to go to Hilton Head, the house we rented sold leaving us without a place to stay. We scrambled to find a new place and Zachary’s house popped up catching our eye. Hilton Head was always our family vacation destination, but we all quickly fell in love with Lake Norman. Zach and his dad Jeff were extremely accommodating. All of my kids and grandkids want to come back every year now. We had a fantastic time at this house. The owner and his father were wonderful to work with. Jeff checked in on us from time to time by text to make sure everything was running smooth with the boat and the property. I felt like we made a friend by the time we left. The house was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen. It sits on a quiet cul-de-sac, so with having four young grandkids it was nice for them to ride their scooters without worrying about traffic. Although the house was small for our group, we made it work and it served our needs well. I would 100% recommend staying here, we will be back. Gloria from Ohio
