Lake Retreat w/ Kayaks, Firepit & Huge Porch

Welcome to No Wake Zone! Nestled on the serene shores of Lake Norman, this 4-bedroom retreat offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. With stunning lake views, cozy living spaces, and an array of amenities like a fire pit, kayaks, and paddleboard, it's ideal for families, friends, or couples. Enjoy the massive back deck, private boat dock, and easy self-check-in. Thoughtfully hosted by a dedicated local business, every detail is designed for an unforgettable stay.

The open-concept living area connects seamlessly to the fully stocked kitchen, complete with modern appliances and everything you need for home-cooked meals. The dining table seats 8, perfect for gathering together, while the massive back porch with ample seating and a Blackstone grill (propane provided) offers a stunning outdoor dining option. Cozy evenings can be spent by the fire pit under the glow of café string lights or relaxing on the huge dock platform right by the water.

For those seeking adventure, the property includes two kayaks and a paddleboard, making it easy to explore the lake. The private boat dock and launch provide direct water access, while the spacious yard is perfect for outdoor activities. Thoughtful details like provided coffee, soaps, linens, and towels ensure a stress-free stay. A laundry room with free in-unit machines is available for your convenience.

The home features four bedrooms to comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests. Two bedrooms are located downstairs, and two are upstairs, including a lake-facing bedroom with a cozy balcony. Sleeping arrangements include 3 queen beds and 2 twin beds, and every bedroom is equipped with a Smart TV for your entertainment.

Additional amenities include an office space with a desk and chair, perfect for remote work, and three modern bathrooms. Parking is available for up to 4 vehicles, and a unique door code ensures easy self-check-in. Hosted by a small, local business passionate about creating exceptional guest experiences, No Wake Zone is your gateway to Lake Norman living at its finest.

🕸️ Spider webs outside?
We de-web and treat docks and porches regularly, but spiders can rebuild a web in just 30–60 minutes. Lake life!

⏰ Can I check in early or check out late?
We already offer THE most favorable check-in/out times compared to other local companies. We follow our standard times to allow for proper cleaning. Requests may be available during the off-season, or if it's not a same day turnaround.

🔥 Is firewood provided?
No—but local grocery stores sell bundles right out front. Grab a lighter too, as they tend to disappear and we don’t stock them (liability).

🛋️ Can I use the indoor fireplaces?
Our indoor fireplaces are decorative and not intended for use. Again, a standard in our area for managers due to insurance and liability.
