Lac Home Front Avec Belle Veiw Et Deep Water

We enjoyed the house and loved the dock! The dock provided lots of room for multiple activities - swimming, paddle boarding, relaxing, and docking our boat. The house was comfortable with a retro feel. Mattresses and furniture were very comfortable. The owner was incredibly accommodating. A hurricane came thru during the original weekend we booked, and the owner allowed us to change our booking to another weekend.

The house was good overall, but a few things I would note for the next travelers: the cleaning company I'm sure only does the bare minimum, we swept up a lot of dirt and wiped down all the bathrooms when we arrived. The house needs a good deep cleaning and power washing. The outside deck had cobwebs all around, and I know spiders form webs fast, but some of the dirt/dust had been there for a while. John recommended leaving outside lights off at night to prevent bugs from getting in, and I read a prior review about a few bugs, but the bottom floor had more bugs than I could handle. So much so, that I moved my 1 year old and his pack n play up to the main floor to sleep. Centipedes, millipedes, "thousand legs", whatever you prefer to call them, just too many of them around there. Like a previous reviewer stated, no TV in the pool room downstairs, which stinks on football weekends! Dock was great, far away from the neighbors, my nephews enjoyed swimming and the upstairs deck was great for lounging and watching sunsets. Kitchen is equipped with everything you need, just bring food! I couldn't really let my son walk around too much as there were too many things to grab, climb or plugs to pull off the wall, so maybe not super small child friendly. Lastly, we could only get the living room ceiling fans to work for one day. We also couldn't get the fans on the porch to cut on either! Spoke to John once prior to arriving and he was very nice!

We were aware that this home was older and furniture dated however, we were disappointed in the lack of cleanliness and presence of bugs and cobwebs in all rooms. Millipedes in particular are a huge issue in the lower level bathroom and bedroom. We contacted the owner and told him that he should seek a refund from his cleaning company and told him that we checked out two days early. We also sent him numerous photos of the condition of the home, including dead bugs in the coffee pot and on the kitchen counter. The owner called us and acted shocked that we were unhappy even after seeing the photos. We explained we were not interested in leaving him a negative review and affecting future rentals but thought he should know how unfair it was to rent a dirty home. He said that was a threat! He told us that he would visit the home and contact us after and we never heard from him again. Our first poor experience with a home rental. Only positive is a nice dock with pretty lake views but that was about it.

Great location on Lake Norman, spent a wonderful week with family on the lake, plan to return.

We spent most of our time on the 2 story dock which was so much fun! We were able to dock our boat, fish, swim, and cook out!

We encountered a couple bumps in the beginning of our stay but the owners were wonderful and took care of everything we needed. We had everything we needed without having to leave the property - it was great!

We did encounter spiders/and bugs inside and outside but we expected some of that with a lakefront property.

Overall a wonderful weekend on the lake!!
