Great Location for Our Needs

The property was 10 minutes away from the US Whitewater Center that we were attending for Swiftwater training. It provided us everything we needed for the week. The owner was very responsive and easy to get in contact with.

Restful!

Great, quiet location close to Charlotte without being in the city (although the sounds of I-85 and airport traffic remind you of the nearness of Charlotte)! The house is nicely laid out, decorated, and stocked with all we needed making our stay very comfortable and enjoyable.

Quick family visit

We really enjoyed this quaint house! It was beautiful and clean. The owner was great to work with. We asked for extra towels and he drove over with them. The fire pit and the little island were big hits with the kiddos! I would love to stay here again!

Get a way

Just me and my wife for a couple of days at the lake. Great place to just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Landscaping was great. Even got visitor from a lake friend, a large turtle 🐢. Made sure it made it back to the lake. At night you can hear owls. Looking forward to another trip in the future 😀. Nice quiet place close to town!

An Oasis

What a wonderful little spot. Even though the cottage is in a neighborhood, the only house visible is the main house. It's as if you are in the middle of nowhere. So many little niceties, too. Games, great TV entertainment for rainy days and nights, super comfy beds, perfect layout for gatherings in the living room, first floor bedroom for someone who can't do steps well, upper level deck off the bedroom, great shampoo and conditioner. I could go on and on but you get my drift.

Harbor House retreat

Our family really enjoyed staying at the harbor cottage. The views and the property are excellent!! The cottage has two decks that can be used for dining or just relaxing with a glass of wine and a river view. If you feel like kayaking on the river, you have kayaks at your disposal. You want to spend romantic evening by the fire, you got it. You want to impress your friends and grill some tasty food, you got it. If you forgot to bring utencils or spices, Mike has it covered too. Coffee and tea and even cold beer in the fridge, he's got that covered. Thank you Mike for making our stay so good.

Serenity I needed

Was not able to enjoy the cabin although the beds were very comfortable & the shower had nice pressure. Very spacious & loved that my friend had the upstairs so I had my rest time after a long stressful journey. Missed the sunset at 4:30 although was informed by neighbors it's a site to see! Close to Charlotte, pretty much a straight shot. Nice neighborhood. Nice neighbors! Mike was awesome!! Will rent with him again if the need arises. Was there for grandblessing birthday at American Girl which is a nice & clean mall.

Convenient to Charlotte nice river view

We come to visit my son in Charlotte every year. We have stayed at many different VRBO locations over the years, and this was one is one of the nicest! Very clean and is well stocked. The house has a nice decor and comfortable cozy feeling to it. The owner even included chocolates and k-cup pods to make you feel at home! It is very relaxing place. We enjoyed the deck off the upstairs bedroom to sit and listen to the birds and watch the squirrels. We spent time by the river just enjoying the view. We ate at 2 very nice places in Belmont which is close by at Nellie's and Jekyll and Hyde. Nellies an upscale comfort food restaurant. Jekyll and Hyde a restaurant/bar with a steam punk vibe and their own brewery. We spent another day in Charlotte which is very close as well. You can't go wrong on this one! Thanks for offering such an enjoyable place to stay!
