A Frank Lloyd Wright-Inspired Luxury Escape with Six True Bedrooms and Private Dock

Professionally designed for discerning guests who value space, style, and togetherness, this 4,300+ square foot lakefront home features six bedrooms and six and 1/2 bathrooms and comfortably sleeps 18.

From sunrise coffees on the screened porch to evenings around the firepit or cocktails on the wraparound deck or down on the dock, this is where you make memories to last a lifetime.

    The house was great for our family Thanksgiving of 9. The family/kitchen area was big and open. The view of the lake is amazing. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can imagine. It is in a quiet area with no through traffic. Everyone enjoyed the pool table. The host went above and beyond on taking good care of us. We will definitely add this to our list of places to return

    Our family enjoyed 4 days at this beautiful home nestled in the trees along the banks of Lake Norman. There’s so much to compliment: the design of the home, the layout of the bedrooms, the large kitchen, the outside seating areas, the views from the large windows, and the dock with all the paddle boards and kayaks made this one of the most amazing vacation homes we have ever rented! Our thanks to the hosts and owner who were the best to work with- quick to respond to questions and very helpful! We also are so glad that we rented the owner’s boat- it was a huge bonus that was enjoyed by everyone in our family! We highly recommend Lake Norman Retreat and definitely want to return for another family gathering!

Adults and kids joined in and had a blast!Our hosts were in touch throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed . We were sad to leave but left with great memories ! Will definitely be a place we will visit again! Thanks to our hosts for a beautiful home and wonderful time .

    Our 3 families plus our 80-year old mom had such a wonderful stay. The goal was to enjoy time with each other and make lasting memories and this home was perfect! We found there to be plenty of room for our group, and appreciated all of the kitchen amenities, puzzles, and space. We hope to back again soon!
