Guest experiences
From those who stayed.
“This home was exactly as advertised. We had a very restful weekend with plenty of outdoor time, fishing, and enjoying the local restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!”
G.
“Our stay was so peaceful! The views from the deck over the lake are stunning and the sunrise stopped me in my tracks! The house is cozy and has everything you need to enjoy a quiet getaway!!!”
G.
“Great quite place to get away and enjoy the scenery! The host was very responsive. The veiws were great!”
G.
“Unfortunately, we had an medical emergency and were not able to stay at Hemang's beautiful lake house but hope to in the near future. Hemang went above and beyond !! He refunded us which he did not have to do since it was last minute cancellation. He was very thoughtful during this time and quick to respond. He even follow-up to see how my husband was doing. I would highly recommend renting from him just based on his thoughtfulness and generosity”
G.
“This was the perfect place for rest and relaxation. The view was top tier and everything was as described. Would definitely book this cottage again.”
G.
“Loved our stay. The place was everything you need, clean easy check-in and check-out. Perfect for a weekend away on the lake.”
G.
“Thank you so much! What a beautiful lake home! The views were outstanding! Extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend! Thanks again!”
G.
“The outdoor shower and screened porch were amazing! We loved the outdoor shower so much we never bothered using the indoor one. I think the overall experience would be elevated with some new living room furniture and cooking dishes. The couch and throw pillows felt grimy and smelled. The pots/pans were all very scratched up (maybe bring your own!)”
G.
“An idyllic, peaceful, serene, perfect escape on Hemang's gorgeous slice of the lake. Our party of four didn't want to leave — and actually only left once during our three-day stay. The property is an incredible sanctuary, where dock-life and porch-life reign supreme. We will 100% be back, and will 100% recommend this property to other travelers. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven on Lake Norman!”
G.
“Exceptionally clean and well maintained. Adorable home. Very relaxing and peaceful. Having the private dock was amazing. Hosts communicated very well and made sure we had everything we needed. Great location. There is a Pizza Hut locally that delivers and we had Walmart deliver our groceries. We cannot wait to come back next year.”
G.
“Loved the location and hanging out on the large screened in porch. However, discrepancies in the listing caused frustration. Most were minor like the size of the beds and the actual check-in time, but a major one was that the amenities stated there were no security cameras when there were at least four. Also, we found it inappropriate that upon check-in one of the owners stopped in unannounced so we had no way to verify he was who he said he was. In addition, trash cans were small and there is no trash service. They did pick up the trash after we said it was inappropriate to make us go to the dump. Overall, the host and manager were friendly (for example, they brought a cheese grater when the kitchen was lacking one), but they need to work on the listing details and get on the same page when responding to guests.”
G.
“We loved our time at Lake Norman and can’t wait to go back. Our hosts were amazing and quick to respond to our inquiries. The cottage was in the perfect location and my family created some wonderful memories.”
G.
“This place was a hidden gem right on the water. The screened in porch, private dock, and house hidden behind the trees was perfect for our weekend. Close to restaurants and multiple grocery stores, close to boat rentals and gave us everything we needed for a weekend on the water. I will definitely be coming back!”
G.
“This is a beautiful spot on the lake with stunning views and sunrises. The cabin is smaller but well equipped and we had a wonderful stay. Thanks for letting us enjoy your home.”
G.
“A lovely place with beautiful lake views and access. We enjoyed our stay at Lake Norman and grateful for the time away.”
G.
“This little lake house was just whay we needed. It was clean and comfy. The screened porch was nice to sit on at night and the dock in the morning and for swimming. Would stay again.”
G.
“Great place for getaway. If you want to cook instead of going out the kitchen is they’re fully stocked with pots, pans, baking, utensils etc., which is nice. Owners very accommodating! We brought our pups and they had great time too ! Hoping to rerun next year with family 😊”
G.
“Wonderful stay at fully equipped cottage with all one could ask for and more. Peaceful location in a quiet cove providing a calm location for swimming, rafting, and kayaking off the dock. Lots of swim equipment, towels, and life jackets provided. Additional back porch enclosed shower with hot water, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash was greatly appreciated. Screened-in porch allowed for early morning reading relaxation with views of lake and fishermen. It's simply IDEAL for a cozy getaway! The hosts are readily available, accomodating and responsive. We highly recommend this location for a wonderfully, memorable stay!”
G.
“We had an amazing week at this lake retreat. It was so peaceful and beautiful! The house was perfect and we absolutely loved the screened porch and easy access to the lake! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
G.
“Great location with beautiful views from the screened porch. There was everything we needed to swim, fish, canoe, grill, etc. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, and host was helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!”
G.
“We had a great weekend getaway here. Right on the water, you feel like you’re in your own private world. The screened in deck has fans so you can enjoy being outside without being too hot. We’ll definitely be back!”
G.
“Our stay was truly peaceful, comfortable and so relaxing. The location on the lake is wonderful - quiet and private. Our two Goldendoodles loved watching the ducks swoop in from the screened-in porch. The home was clean, kitchen well-stocked and beds comfortable. Thank you so much Hemang. It was great!”
G.
“This was a beautiful home and location! My friends and I stayed here for the week and we had a wonderful time.”
G.
“We had such a relaxing stay here! The location directly on the lake was beautiful, and we really enjoyed having access to the boating dock. The sunscreen deck was one of our favorite spots to sit and unwind. The home itself was cute, cozy, and had a great cross breeze with the front and back screen doors open. And its dog friendly 😊 Honestly, my favorite part might have been the Costco blankets — so comfy and perfect for relaxing after a day on the lake! Overall, it was a wonderful vacation spot and exactly what we needed for a peaceful getaway!”
G.
“such a cozy relaxing cabin with everything one could possibly need. Hope to come back in the future”

“We had a great weekend at this adorable blue cottage. It was clean, well equipped, and very comfortable. The home had enough space for our small family. The lake view was fantastic and we loved the screened porch. We would definitely stay here again.”
G.
“The house was absolutely gorgeous and fit our group perfectly. The yard, the lake, the doc, the house were all stunning. The host was very quick to answer all of my messages.”
G.
“Such a perfect place with amazing waterfront views of the lake. It was amazing for a perfect couple getaway!”
