Holiday rentals with lake access in Catawba County

Dear Robert and Charleen, Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. The Bird House is truly a gem, and you are blessed to own it. The pictures on Airbnb do not do the house justice. As I entered on Wednesday, my breath was taken away; the views of the lake and natural light filled every room. The beauty of the natural surroundings, together with the well-thought-out interior design and appointments, made our experience one to remember. My mother and I truly had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving. You had very clear notes regarding how to work everything (the blinds). Clearly, a lot of thought was put into what would make guests comfortable (lap blankets and a variety of lighting with dimmers), and all of the items one would use at home were in the kitchen, enabling us not to have one worry during our stay. We hope to return during warmer weather to enjoy the outdoors.

We loved our stay on Lake Norman! Couldn’t beat the location as it was right on the water and super close to the wedding venue we were traveling there for. Plenty of space and plenty to do on site for our crew. Host was very friendly, responsive, and gave clear check-in/check-out instructions. Huge bonus was access to kayaks to take out on the lake. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved everything about this property and can’t wait to come back! The host provided everything we needed to have a fun, relaxing weekend. There’s plenty to do and beautiful surroundings!

Great home to spend quality time with family or close friends. Kids enjoy the outdoor space and kayaks. Adults had a great time by the fire. Everyone had their own space if needed. Will be coming back soon!!

A large, beautiful house in a lovely area of Hickory. Our party of 7 adults and 3 children were in the area for a wedding and the house was roomy enough for all of us to be comfortable. The house is furnished with everything you need for a great visit, including a well stocked kitchen. The view from the deck is gorgeous.. Diane is very responsive--any question I asked was answered immediately. We highly recommend this listing and would go back there if the occasion arose to be in Hickory again.

The house was great and its a beautiful lot and view. Kayaks were great.

We had a great time at this home. Our kids loved using the provided kayaks and swimming in the beach area and fishing. The house had what we needed and more for a perfect weekend getaway for our family of 4. Clean and comfortable for us all. We definitely will be back. Our host was responsive and gave clear instructions about our stay. We can’t wait to return again!

David’s place was great!!! Private, peaceful, it was clean with lots of space.. this is one of our favorite places to stay at Lake Norman.

Had an amazing stay. Was very peaceful and extremely clean. Felt great walking into the home.

Blin's place was spotless, comfortable and the view was stunning - Fall leaves were in full color while we were there. The bathrooms were spacious and clean - the water was hot with good pressure. The king bed in the master was supportive and comfortable. I heard no complaints about the bunk room beds the kids used. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, bowls and cooking utensils. All appliances worked well. It was muddy while we were there so we rolled up the light colored rugs so we didn't accidentally stain them. We had our dog with us and there was plenty of area for him to run and the streets were quiet for a walk along the road. There are steps all the way to the water which will be amazing for lake access in the summer. As it was cold while we were there and the lake was still recovering from Hurrican Helene, we did not get in the water. All in all it was a great place to stay.

Karen was helpful in sending recommendations and communication regarding the impact of Helene on the area. Always answered questions and put us at ease. The suite was beautiful and the amenities were nice and the views were great. Instructions were helpful. I would highly recommend this suite

Great weekend spent at Lore’s place. Pictures do not do it justice. Better than we expected. Very clean and everything you would need. The design of inside was beautiful. Every detail Lore has covered and more than you need. Will definitely be back again. Kudos to a wonderful place.

Leah's place has a beautiful view from the spacious deck. I spent a lot of time relaxing and looking at the lake. The condo was nicely updated and very clean. It had everything I needed to feel comfortable for a 2-week stay. Parking was convenient to the condo. The location was very close to restaurants, shopping, groceries, and gas. Leah was very friendly and very responsive. I would definitely stay at Leah's place again.

The apartment is beautiful. We had a peaceful stay. I liked the big windows overlooking the lake. I enjoyed picnicking on the dock and kayaking around the cove.

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!

This apartment is spacious and comfortable. Nice view and patio. Quick drive to Davidson Main Street. Close to highway. Nice touches like plenty of coffee, tea, trial size toiletries. Wi-Fi worked great. Host responded quickly and I was happy that they didn’t proactively send us a ton of messages checking on us. I also liked that check out was just lock up and leave. No list of chores. 😅 We will stay here again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh my gosh - well there are not enough good things to say about this place. It sits on a peaceful River up on stilts - you can see the beautiful scenery for miles . The house itself is modern/roomy/light and airy /pristine in its cleanliness/beautiful simple decor that compliments the entire house . Filled with amenities and small attention to detail that was so lovely and appreciated . There are several little balconies on the house /an outdoor screened-in dining area that’s perfect to watch the river . There is a good restaurant at the end of the street . The whole place was just fantastic !!

Beautiful property! Ideal proximity to Rock Barn Spa & Golf and great restaurants (Fourk!) but so private and peaceful.

“Had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check-in was smooth, and the host was friendly and responsive. The location was perfect — quiet but close to everything I needed. Definitely recommend and would stay here again!”

This place is absolutely beautiful, peaceful and just what our family needed. So grateful that we were able to bring our sweet dog too. Our son is way into fishing-the dock was exactly what we were looking for. LeeAnn is an incredible host, answered any and all questions and the place was exactly as she described. We already know that we will be back and can’t wait to plan our next visit.

Jack was a great host! He supplied everything we needed for a fun, lakehouse vacation. Comfortable, clean, safe, quiet! The pictures were accurate and lakefront location was even better than the pictures. The only thing to know ahead of time of that the second bedroom (while clean and very comfortable) is a captured room (enter and exit only through the first bedroom). This is not ideal. It may have been explained in the description and the accurate pictures, but we were caught unaware. Loved our time there! I hope to return.

My only complaint is the instructions for checking in on the keypad lacked a key component. Had to search out office staff at the place to find out how to check in the main gate. Everything else was very simple. Great stay. Beautiful and clean accommodations. Very convenient to everything I wanted to do. Would stay again.

The beds were really comfortable and clean. The house felt really homey, all the lights shined bright, AC felt really good. The location is in a safe neighborhood. Beautiful kitchen with spacious countertop and clean silverware for use. The living room had a big TV to watch movies on at night. The owners responded super fast and provided a lot of helpful information.

Such a fun little spot on the lake. Cozy and clean. We had a blast fishing and sitting in the sunroom reading. Well appointed and located close enough to town for convenience but isolated enough to feel like an escape.
