    This was the perfect location to celebrate our Grandmother’s 100th birthday! The house and property perfectly accommodated our very large family and we enjoyed every amenity it had to offer. It truly has everything you could ever need. Our family loved spending time at the beach just a short drive away from the house and were able to create the sweetest memories! Communication with Susan, the property manager, was top-notch and she made our stay absolutely seamless! She worked with us to accommodate every single one of our needs. Could not recommend this property enough! Huge thanks to Jack and Susan for making this special weekend happen for our grandma and family! If you’re looking for your next family getaway/reunion, look no further!

    Stay was amazing. We had a large group of teenagers that we were exploring the area with. It was close enought to Charlotte and Davidson College that we could easily access everything. At the same time it was spacious enough and provide ample oppurtunity to keep correctly engage teenagers when back on property. Owner/property manager was great as well. She checked in frequently and made sure we had everything needed.

    We really enjoyed our time at the Lakefront Mansion! The house is well thought out as long as you are young enough for all of the stairs. Kitchen was well stocked, bedrooms plentiful and of good size. The view of the lake and the provided boats made it so relaxing.

    It was good. The bench seating was an issue for 9 men sitting for hours playing cards. Would have liked to had chairs with backs. Overall, it was good. Great out door grills. Lots of outdoors seating.

    This is the firat time we have gone away but our family has grown and could no longer fit in our house. This was perfect! Everyone had their own rooms and bathrooms. We all hung out in the top floor, played games, watched movies. We took the grandchildren on a one mile walk at the lake while the big kids hiked. The owners even put up a Christmas tree for us!

    We had our annual family vacation here with our children and their kids. The home more than accommodated us. We enjoyed movie nights in the movie theater, kayaking on the lake, playing games, and many meals around the large dining table together. Great communication with Susan (host), who made sure we had everything we needed and promptly responded to any question we had. Thank you!

If you are looking to work remotely or use the internet regularly this might not be the place for you as there is limited cell service and week Wi-Fi.

    Half of our family lives in New York and the other half in Florida so we were looking for something in the middle. We found this gem smack dab in the middle! Big enough for all and Susan was so super helpful. She even came over and took pictures of our group of 18 so we could all be in it and there was no place to prop up a camera!! We had a blast and have no complaints.

    We had our annual family vacation at this home and it was awesome! The entire family loved it. Each family had a floor to themselves and that was definitely a plus. The property is beautiful and the home is huge. We truly enjoyed our stay. I do have to say, the older I get the harder it is to climb the stairs from the lake to the house, but I am grateful for each resting spot made available. The house manager is excellent and very responsive with any questions we had.
