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.

We ask that you let us know as soon as possible if you or anybody you have invited to the house is infected with COVID 19, or is exposed to a person known to be infected with COVID 19 within 15 days prior to your arrival or becomes infected with COVID 19 during your stay or within two weeks after your departure. Additional instructions to minimize exposure will be provided if you make a reservation. As you can see from the reviews of properties that we own, we pride ourselves of maintaining a very clean house.

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 is on the south corner of the house pointed toward the driveway.

Fantastic vacation
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.

Family time at the lake
Our family enjoyed our stay at the lakehouse. Used the game room on a rainy day. Cooked a big Easter meal in the well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed the outside games and canoeing as well!

Fantastic lake getaway
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.

Pleasant, quiet, off-season respite
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. Nate, Sonia and Dorothy

Great Stay
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.

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.

Lovely getaway
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.

Excellent Property.
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.

Lake Norman Trip
Stayed at this property with my wife and 2 girls (3 and 6 years old). The house was clean and well prepared. The view from the deck was nice. We arrived early and spend a few hours at the new park across the cove (Mountain Creek Park) which has an adventure playground and wildlife exhibit which the kids loved. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and using the game room when it rained. This was our first trip to the area and we're glad we picked this rental.
