About this property
Waterfront House on Quiet Cove with kayaks, canoe, paddleboard, game room & more
Great quiet family getaway for swimming, fishing, paddling, boating and wildlife viewing. House has four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, whirlpool tub, two decks, screened-in porch, fenced-in play area, dock and walkout basement game room with ping pong table, foosball table and other games. There is a large, well-stocked kitchen that is open to the dining area and living area.
House is located on a peninsula with 270 degree water views. There are decks with views of the water on both the front and back sides of the house. We like to enjoy our morning coffee in the shade on the front porch and have dinner in the shade on a large outdoor table on the back porch.
Two kayaks, one canoe, a paddle board, a private dock, a neighborhood boat ramp, and various outdoor games are available for use by guests.
The cove where the house and dock are located is very quiet. One of our favorite morning and evening activities is to paddle back into two adjoining undeveloped coves that are teaming with wildlife. There is a county park on the opposite side of the cove on the front side of the house, which has a playground, hiking trails and mountain bike trails.
If you are looking for a quiet vacation spot, this is a great house for you. If you are looking for a place to party into the wee hours of the night, this is not a good choice. The neighbors are generally quiet and go to sleep early. Because sound travels far on a quiet cove, the neighbors will complain if there is a lot of noise or cars coming in and out late at night. Furthermore, the house has original artwork, upholstered furniture, and rugs that are easy to damage if you have a wild party.
Because the house is in a rural location and is frequently vacant, there are two outdoor security cameras that point away from the house. There is a Ring doorbell, which is pointed toward the road and there is a security camera on the south corner of the house pointed toward the driveway.

We all enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. The owners communication was exceptional, every detail was thought of, the beds were comfortable, and the whole home including the dock was so CLEAN!!! And the location - quiet, very low boat traffic, lots of open water to fish, float, and paddleboard- heaven!!
Perfect getaway house for a group or family. Plenty of room & activities on site from foosball & table tennis to canoe & kayaking from the pier. Lots of porch area overlooking the beautiful lake views. Rick has tought of everything & was an excellent host. Highly recommend this property!
The house was great. Really nice location with plenty of things to do inside the house as well as in the surrounding area. We will most definitely come back for another lake stay.
Our family had a great time here. The house is in great shape and very clean. We enjoyed the kayaks and the downstairs game room. The kitchen is well stocked.
We loved Rick's house for our family vacation. Perfect yard for the dogs to play; kitchen had everything we needed; game room was great for our downtime! Thank you Rick!
We had a quiet and relaxing stay at this comfortable and nicely decorated lake home. Enjoyed the kayaks, canoe, porches and game room! Highly recommend!
Accurate listing all amenities were as advertised and even some additional that werent. Our 2 year old really enjoyed the outdoor space which was fenced in, giving him additional freedom and less worry for us. Great place for family and friends.
Our family was looking for the perfect R and R and this home was even more than we expected. The area was quiet and somewhat excluded. So much to do in the game room downstairs and the kayaks, canoe, and floats were the perfect recipe for the hot weather. Highly recommend
This place was magic! Quiet part of the lake and the house was so clean and inviting. The kitchen was very well equipped as we did our own cooking. The gas grill was easy to use. The dock and covered sitting area on the water was amazing! I really didn’t want to leave. Our host, Rick, was extremely quick to respond. I highly recommend this place!
The house looks exactly like the pictures and the kids loved all the games. There is a notebook that is very detailed and answered any questions we had. The game room was a huge win and so were all the outside games. We rented a boat from a local marina and docked it at the house for a few days. It was very clean and we had no question about if it was properly cleaned before we arrived. Would stay again.
The property looks exactly like the pictures showed. The home was very cleaned and we had everything we needed. Grocery, Publix’s is within 15 miniatures and this is a new area and has restaurants in this vicinity as well. We ate at the Toucan restaurant for our anniversary, which was right on the water. We were traveling with our small dog and took him with us. Our food was wonderful, highly recommend
Met my Daughters family (40) and Granddaughters (8,11) for 5 night stay. The house and location were perfect for us. More private part of the lake, yer all of the access.
The house had everything we needed. The house is well noted with guidance notes in appropriate locations to assist in making it feel like it was ours.
On checkin I had a few questions and the owner was responsive and accurate
I would recommend this property and host any time
Loved being able to share Rick's vacation home! Very tidy and well-stocked kitchen complimented the equally comfortable beds and living arrangement.
Being in this small cove afforded us a very quiet and relaxing week, enjoying the sounds of the lapping water from the very comfortable dock and watching the wildlife.
Definitely consider this home for your next lake visit if you treasure peaceful and calm surroundings with all of the complete comforts of home. Highly recommend.
Thank you Rick for sharing your good fortune with others.

Thank you for the wonderful stay. No need to repeat the property features because the house and grounds and amenities are accurately described in the listing. The house was clean and comfortable, and provided with a thoughtful “instruction manual” that anticipated every question I might come up with. The fenced yard was great for our dogs (as it would be for young children) and the road leading into the peninsula is entirely walkable. Most importantly, the gorgeous dock fulfilled my vision of a peaceful lakeside retreat. The cove is indeed quiet with minimal boat traffic — paddle the kayaks or canoe for 10 minutes in one direction and you’re in the thick of houses and activity; paddle 5 minutes in the other direction and you’re in a natural area adjoining a park, with the birds and turtles and fish. Lounging and swimming from the dock was great. We’d definitely stay here again.
The house was clean and furnished. We enjoyed the kayaks and fishing. It was a nice quiet cove, perfect for a family to enjoy time outside. Lake view was beautiful.
This was a lovely home and perfect for our family getaway. We loved the quiet cove where we felt secluded, yet only 10-15 minutes from all amenities that we needed throughout the trip. Great stay and would stay again.
We loved our stay. Everything was exactly as stated and very clean. Kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals easily. All outside spaces and equipment (canoe etc) were fantastic and in perfect working condition. Definitely highly recommended this property and host and would stay again.
My husband and I stayed for 6 days with our 4 kids and my mom. It was a wonderful getaway. The host was communicative, responsive. The house was clean and well-stocked. Our kids loved the activities in the basement and outdoor options on the dock. Would highly recommend!
My wife, 11 year old son, his friend and I stayed here for the 4th of July week and we loved it. The property owner was very informative and detailed about the property and was very helpful. The property itself was very clean and well kept as well in a great quiet location. We will definitely be coming back to this location in the future.

Beautiful lake house
very quiet neighborhood, not far from grocery stores or Mooresville. Be sure if you want to fish you get your fishing license there is a 10 day license for outside residents you can purchase online. Plenty of room for family and/ or guests.
