Family-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Norman

We have not used AirBnB many times, but this one stands out as the best experience yet! What a lovely, clean, tidy, quaint, attractive, simple, elegant, and comfortable lakeside property this is. We enjoyed cooking meals, grilling, soaking in the hot tub, sunset cocktails on the dock. Planning to return in the future for another stay!

Great stay! The Airbnb was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located close to downtown Charlotte. It was perfect for our work trip — easy check-in, quiet at night, and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again next time we’re in town.

The house is amazing. Extremely well equipped. Amazing decks, docks etc. Great gas grill. Amazing lower level with bar and game room. All three bathrooms and showers are really nice, including outdoor shower. 😀 All of the wall hangings and niknacs are very nice and make it feel like a real home and not just a rental. I could go on and on but I only have so much space. Thanks for sharing your fabulous home. It made our sons wedding week very special!

Overall this was an amazing property to stay at. Shari was able to accommodate us for a last minute check in, I’m talking within hours. She was even able to get us a boat for our stay even with it being Fathers Day weekend. The house was very clean with clear and easy instructions for check in/check out procedures. I would definitely stay again in the future! Our only issue wasn’t about the property or host, rather the next door neighbors. They kept their 2 small dogs outside all day and through the evening. They were barking non stop and it was difficult to fall asleep or enjoy a peaceful time outside. It was noted that quiet time was after 10pm and the dogs were barking well past that. We had to file a noise complaint due to the excessive barking and we honestly felt bad for the dogs seeing that they were caged up outside. We are dog lovers as we have one of our own but the neighbors could have been a little more respectful.

Amazing house, extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Has everything you could possibly need as far as kitchen and bathroom supplies. Beautiful views from throughout the house. Hot tub was well maintained and perfectly placed to enjoy the view. Would most definitely stay here again!

The house was great and the beds were very comfortable. The backyard was peaceful, especially at night with the lights and the hot tub. We had our adult sons with us and we could not hear them moving around and watching TV while we were sleeping, the house is sound proof! I did have to sweep off the back patio furniture when we arrived, it didn't look like that had been done in a while, or it might have just been from a storm - no big deal, the broom was easy to find. The house is older, with a nice mid-century modern vibe - very cozy. I would stay there again.

The house was in a wonderful, more established neighborhood. It was close to the venue we were in town to attend. Even though the pool and hot tub were older, they were in good shape and we really enjoyed them. The kitchen was totally updated and very easy to maneuver. The bedrooms were nice, but the bathrooms were older and could use some updating, especially the one in the master bedroom. The checkout instructions could be updated - it referred to baskets in bedroom closets for used linens, towels, etc., but weren't there. The garbage was to be taken outside and put in a receptacle, but here wasn't one. There was a garbage receptacle in the garage. All in all, I think this would be a great place for anyone looking for a place to stay in Charlotte.

A group of my friends and I stayed here for a weekend. I am from the area originally and the location cannot be beat. It a gorgeous lakefront property and we rented a boat/captain for dinner on Friday to take us down the river to a waterfront restaurant. We heated the pool but ended up using the hot tub instead. The furnishings and house itself are not new or “modern” but it looked exactly as described/and in the photos, and the house is even bigger overall. For the price, this was a great deal. We spent our time hanging out in the kitchen which had enormous windows looking outside, and on the deck, and it was super comfortable for all 11 of us there. Robert was incredibly communicative and always available to answer questions. We wished we could move in! I’d definitely stay there again. Great for large groups.

Kathrine was amazing! There was a slight hiccup when checking in, which was not her fault, and she responded quickly and handled the issue immediately. The surroundings were peaceful and we loved staying there.

Two stays a week a part, and Jen’s place was perfect for us! Super comfy apartment above the garage, and perfectly described! The pictures don’t do it justice. So cozy, and the animals are the most charming touch. Absolutely recommend if you’re in the area.

Everything that was advertised, I received

What a lovely place! Carla was a wonderful and was very helpful. We will definitely be renting this place again in the future.

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We were comfortable and felt right at home. Our kids especially loved the swings and the big tree out front.

We loved our stay! The unit was beautiful, very spacious and clean! The place was in a perfect location. Very nice neighborhood and many restaurants nearby. Will definitely stay here again!

We had a very enjoyable stay. Although we did have not the opportunity to use the full services of the rental available to us since we were away most of the time at the NASCAR races, we still were glad that we rented this place. Clean, well supplied and the area is nice. Also, close to the airport and close to the Charlotte track. What more can you ask?

Elizabeth’s place is very nice and exactly as described! Communication was on point and it was easy to find and get in when I arrived. The location is quiet and was very close to where I needed to be but wasn’t really close to big attractions or places to eat. Would definitely stay again.

We rented this first floor condo unit for two weeks to be near our son and his family after the birth of their baby. It was perfectly located. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware. It was clean and comfortable. The pool is a quick walk away and quite nice. There are close restaurants and stores. Lake Norman is a very short drive away, and there are lovely greenways easily accessible for walks. There is some noise from people walking upstairs at times, but it’s not excessive and to be expected in a first floor unit. It made a comfortable and affordable “home away from home” during our stay.

My family and I loved our stay at Erin's place. The house was nice and had a big fenced in backyard which was great for our dog. Erin was very responsive and gave clear instructions for check-in and check-out. The area is great and just a few minutes down the street from downtown Matthews. I highly recommend Erin's home to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area!

Very private, safe, and quiet. Could barely hear a thunderstorm which was great as our dog is scared. Rachel's communication is on point. She was very responsive and very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

Dave’s place was perfect. Very comfortable. He thought of everything. Very close to great restaurants The Amp stage is 5 minutes away. Ballantyne is a very nice and safe suburb of charlotte. Lots to do. If you go to charlotte Dave’s place is perfect for a couple. We’re definitely coming back. Thank you Dave!!

I booked this home so my husband and I could visit our family for the holidays who live about 30 mins away. It was able to accommodate us perfectly. I also have a baby who was able to have an entire nursery to herself which was such a blessing as we wanted her to be comfortable and unaffected. Even though the owners live at the property, the home was absolutely spotless and we felt right at home. They even had a Christmas tree up that we were so excited to gather around on Christmas morning. Very grateful to have found this listing!

Great Location and Host has very detailed and easy check-in.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay! The unit had anything you could possibly need. Was great not having to run to the store to get this or that as they already had everything available. Very clean!

We loved staying at Laurie’s home and had an incredible weekend. The space was perfect for our 20-person baby shower and the home was a cozy place to relax before and after. I was a little concerned if the A/C would be sufficient in an older home, but it worked great along with the updated appliances. You are about 12 minutes from town but feel like you’re miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This property is the perfect place to make special memories with loved ones and we hope to stay here again someday!
