Lakefront Fish Camp & Farm View- Kayak, Paddleboard , Firepit, Fishing & Dock !
*** Water Filtration system for the whole house ****
Hi there! Welcome to my freshly renovated 1968 nostalgic fish camp! Located on a quiet cove of Lake Norman, get ready to enjoy this tranquil lakefront property. Nestled among the trees on the secluded side of Lake Norman, this picture-perfect classic-style camp is updated with brand-new furnishings. It has beautiful spaces for everyone to enjoy while relaxing, having fun, and making life-long memories at the lake.
The Space This modernized one-story 1300-square-foot ranch home is directly located on Lake Norman in Denver, NC. Upon pulling into the carpark, you are greeted with sublime water and natural views. When you step inside, you will be greeted by the stylish decor. There is plenty of room to socialize in the large open floorplan. The living room opens to an adorable sunroom where you can begin and end the day with sunrise/sunset hues.
The deck provides sun and shade for dining together at the table (seats six (6), grilling, playing games, or sunbathing on the chaise lounges. The deck boasts unobstructed views of the water from every angle.
Walk down to the over-water-lighted gazebo to play card games, enjoy snacks and drinks, or enjoy fishing or a dip in the lake right off the dock! If you like to stay active on vacations, there is plenty to do. You can kayak, paddleboard, go for a swim, play cornhole, or golf nearby.
The Kitchen Adjacent to the living room, the open-concept kitchen is the heart of all the action. No expense was spared in this area! The quartz island has barstool seating for three guests and is outfitted with high-end stainless steel appliances, including an induction range, microwave, refrigerator, and garbage disposal.
A UV water filtration system has been installed, making the water safer for drinking and cooking. The fully stocked kitchen has all the essentials you will need during your stay, including a Keurig coffee maker. Please note: Due to the septic system, you must be mindful of what goes into the garbage disposal, or you will be charged an additional fee to unclog it.
Living room/ Dining area (Open Concept) The living room is stylishly decorated, and a 65" SmartTV is provided for you to watch your favorite TV shows or movies. You may log into the TV with your personal streaming apps or use the Direct TV app to browse cable channels.
The farmhouse table has seating for up to four people, with additional seating at the kitchen bar top. There is seating for six (6) people on the balcony deck and seating for four(4) on the dock. We are still in the process of adding updates and will soon add a minibar and fridge.
Bedroom One - Primary The primary bedroom is furnished with a queen bed. All of the linens, pillows, and mattresses have just been purchased. The bed is exceptionally comfortable, and you will surely get a good night's rest. There are plenty of windows providing a lot of natural light as well.

The Sunroom This adorable room is just off the living area and is furnished with a twin-size trundle bed. It is undoubtedly the most versatile room in the house not to mention everyone's favorite! The sunroom overlooks the deck and offers direct lake views. There is also a nest swing to cuddle up with your favorite book and cup of tea.
The Backyard This large backyard is the perfect location to make many memories with your family. There are outdoor chairs to relax on and plenty of grass space to lay out or run around.

Wonderful one night stay!
I booked one night to spend on the lake for my boyfriend because he was turning 30! The place was wonderful and it was just me, bf, and his best friend. There is so much room and lots of outdoor activities provided by the property. Perfect place to spend the whole day at the lake!

This was such a great property for our family! The variety of available water craft (kayaks, SUP, floats) was amazing. Being on a little cove off the main lake meant that we didn’t have to deal with a ton of noise and wake from boats. The house had everything we needed for a week away. We can’t wait to come back again next summer!

Amazing getaway vacation!
This has been one of the best getaway trips we have been on. Our son wanted to celebrate his 13th birthday in a special way by going on a fishing trip, so we searched for a place right on the lake. We came across this place, and it was the absolute best decision! We all have loved it so much, and we are going to start a new tradition by booking this place around this time yearly. Communication was on point, and the place is very clean, very stylish, and cozy. We cannot wait to come back next year!

Family Girls Weekend
We spent three nights here for a family girls weekend and really enjoyed the peace and quiet. It is close enough to shopping and stores to be convenient but has everything on property that you could possibly want to relax and enjoy yourself. We enjoyed reading and talking on the dock, made s'mores using the fire pit, and there was nothing we needed in the kitchen that wasn't there. We highly recommend this cottage and will stay again in the future.

Gem of a place!
My group of friends 40's-50's stayed here for a quick girls' getaway. The location is lovely located just outside town along the lake near farm land. We felt safe and I enjoyed walking near the cornfields. Denver is a cute town with everything you need within a 10-minute drive. The house is a perfect setup with everything you need to enjoy your trip. It is evident the host spent a great deal of time trying to think through every detail so you could enjoy your stay. This includes sound machines in every room, kitchen essentials, soft towels, and blankets.... the list goes on. It was wonderful not to have to run to the store after a day of driving to grab stuff like trash bags. The host was excellent with communication and made the stay even better. I would not hesitate to stay here again and plan to!

Charlotte/Lake Norman Perfection!
We booked this place to celebrate my husband's Memorial Day weekend birthday -- just the two of us. We wanted time on the lake outside of the Charlotte Motor Speedway/Coca Cola experience I bought him for his birthday. The property exceeded our expectations -- so much so, we didn't eat a single meal out, opting to cook/grill out to maximize our time on the lake. We wanted for nothing. The place was clean, beautifully decorated, with every amenity -- the kayaks, paddleboards, firepit, dock gazebo, comfy outside furniture. Inside, the kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything we would expect and more. We will definitely stay here again!

A Tranquil Getaway
This is such a wonderful place to spend with your family. I especially enjoyed the beautiful lake view and the tranquility that it brought. Its private pier brought the convenience to deliver a rental boat to us. We sailed to a dock-and-dine waterfront restaurant at Mooresville. We also did kayaks, paddleboards, and sailing during our stay. The house is very clean and the host is very responsive for our questions. Two nights were not enough and we wish we could stay longer. We definitely will come back.

We had a great time staying here! The property has everything we wanted with a rental...We had so much fun using the paddle boards, kayaks and floats...It was the first time my spouse kayaked...so thanks for the memories! They even supplied backyard games which we used all weekend! We enjoyed grilling outside looking out at the water and then had our evening cocktail at the fire pit in the evening. Lee was a great host and took care of all our needs. She communicated well and provided us with detailed instructions and recommendations for the best local shops and restaurants to try. We will definitely book this property again!

the house is very well located and communication with Jaime was very easy.
Staying in October was great. The weather was beautiful, water warm enough for kids to play during hours and we were almost the only ones on the lake !!!!
So all in all, a fantastic experience at a great house on the lake.

Relaxing getaway!
First impressions are important. Our first impressions of the property were that it was very clean and well maintained. We appreciated that Jamie supplied plenty of towels, pillows and paper goods.
We didn't know until just before we arrived that the yard was fenced in, which our dog appreciated! While we didn't use most of the water "toys", it was great to have the option. The best feature is the oversized gazebo incorporated into the dock- really nice. We also ventured over to the farm across the road to purchase some delicious fresh eggs.
I hired a fishing guide for a half day who was terrific, and it was a highlight of my visit.

Summer vacation
We found this property last year during the pandemic and it fit all our family’s needs so we decided to come back for a second year in a row. The outdoor setup is perfect for us. Easy to launch our kayaks, our boys and our lab have easy access to the lake and great fishing from the pier. It’s close to all grocery stores, restaurants and cool treats (Pelican snowballs and cookies and creme ice cream). The owner Jamie is responsive and sends detailed info for the house. Such a great time, our boys actually requested to come back this year instead of go any where else!! Thank you for a great property and experience.
