We love coming to Lake Norman and staying at the Hideaway! The house has everything we need. Itâs very comfortable and the proximity to the lake and grocery stores make it an ideal location.
Perfect for our family of 10 with 4 small ones -sitting areas, dock, lake, sand to play in, views, back porch, outside eating areas, dog friendly. A little outdated but the location is awesome! Bring necessities like shampoo, soap, beach towels... Kitchen well supplied other than detergent and trash bags. Highly recommend if you have children!
We all look forward to our vacation at the Hideaway every year. Always clean & stocked with everything we need. The location is what sells it for me. Quite cove but big enough to ride the jet skis without going into the main channel. Beach & dock for the kids to swim & have a great time. Thanks for helping to make the memories Chuck. See ya next year
We were pleased with everything during our stay at the Hideaway. The pictures on VRBO did not do this place justice. The rooms were spacious and the many sitting areas allowed us to enjoy peaceful times - together and separately. The view of the lake was awesome and the calm cove that the house is on was wonderful. We enjoyed our stay!
The stay was a good one. However, there a few issues that came about that we had to endure. After speaking with Charles regarding the issue he moved fast as he could to resolve the problem. In addition, he went above and beyond to make things better. I would visit the lake house a again
Well appointed home. Comfortable beds. Beautiful well maintained dock perfect for relaxing and viewing the lake. Fun lake toys (pedal boat, kayaks). Deer visited daily. Completely restful days on the lake.
The cabin smelled and we couldnât get rid of it Cause headaches for the four of us. VERY OUT DATED. A call was made to help with the heat and that was a quick response. When asked about the offensive smell, there was not an answer other than the cabin needs to be opened up, but there were no screens in the windows. Very disappointing! We will not recommend this cabin or stay again.
Our stay started out as a quick weekend to celebrate two birthdays. Ended up we were there for a week. My daughter fell and required surgery on her leg. My husband and I were able to take time off from work to help her for the first week after surgery-we live near DC. We kept changing our requested dates since we did not know what our daughter would need. It took a bit but we were able to get her outside so she could heal- mind, body and soul. We were happy to see a bedroom on the main floor as she either was using a walker or a wheelchair-she was not able to put weight on her broken leg. Harder to get to the dock area as there were many levels. But we did it. The house is supplied with just about everything you would need. Remember to bring shampoo and bath soap.
This was the perfect stay for our youth mentoring while visiting Charlotte. Rooms and beds were very accommodating to our sleeping policies and guidelines. The lake added a relaxing atmosphere. We will save this site for future visits!
We loved this house on the lake. We could spend all day in the backyard, just looking at the water. Very beautiful neighborhood to walk around. So peaceful and quiet. Thank you for sharing this little piece of paradise with us.
It was so special!! My grandsons loved staying in the kids nautical decorated bedroomâŠreal hit! Plenty of gathering spaces. Did a bonfire and enjoyed s'mores.We took long walks everyday through the neighborhood and met nice neighbors and enjoyed the deer population! Would love to go back next at the same time !

We bought the property in 1974, when we moved to Gastonia, and it has been our main source of recreation all these years. Our two daughters grew up with the place. As our family expanded, we found it expedient to do the major renovation and addition in 2004. In 1987 we bought the Cozy Cottage (VRBO#484074) next door; it sleeps eight .
We enjoy the open spacious feeling, the nautical theme decor, the large screen porch, the shady decks, the private setting, and the surrounding woods and wildlife. The relatively smooth water of the cove renders it ideal for water sports and offers protection from the big waves of the main channel. Our lot with 156 frontage feet of shoreline is located in a nook that maintains our sand beach.
