About this home

Make a splash at Cannonball Cove — a cheerful lakefront getaway made for sunny days, cannonballs off the dock, fireside evenings, and easygoing time together. With big Lake Norman views, a private dock, kayaks, water toys, a fire pit, and plenty of space to gather, this home is all about classic lake life: relaxed, comfortable, and full of memory-making moments.

Welcome to your laid-back lakefront retreat made for fun on and off the water. With room for up to 10 guests, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a warm, casual setting for families and friends who want to spend their days swimming, paddling, grilling, relaxing, and soaking in the view.

Inside, the open-concept living space is bright, cozy, and welcoming, with comfortable seating, a Smart TV for movie nights, and large windows overlooking the lake. The home has an easy lake-house feel, with gathered-over-time charm, relaxed furnishings, and spaces designed for comfort after long days outside. Downstairs, the bonus room brings a little extra personality — including the kind of cozy “grandma’s couch” everyone somehow ends up fighting over after a day in the sun. The kitchen is fully stocked for simple meals and group favorites, complete with modern appliances, plenty of cookware, and coffee ready to brew.

The main bedroom features a king-size bed and a French door leading to the lake-facing porch, while the remaining bedrooms offer queen and twin beds — great for couples, kids, or groups of friends. All rooms include fresh linens and Smart TVs for streaming your favorite shows after a day in the sun.

But the heart of Cannonball Cove is outside. The private dock is made for jumping in, floating, lounging, and watching the lake sparkle. Swim out into deep water, take the kayaks for a paddle, stretch out in the sun, or let the kids enjoy the kind of lake day they’ll talk about long after the trip is over. The large yard gives everyone room to spread out, and evenings are best spent around the fire pit under the stars. Around here, the chairs may not match, but the vibe does — cozy, relaxed, and made for s’mores, stories, and lake-night laughter.

Tucked away in a quiet cove but just minutes from groceries, dining, and boat-accessible restaurants, Cannonball Cove gives you the best of both worlds: peaceful lakefront privacy with everyday conveniences close by.

Managed with Care:
This home is locally managed by our family-run team dedicated to warm, reliable hospitality. Every stay includes fresh linens, shampoo, paper goods, detergent, coffee, and more. You'll enjoy a professionally cleaned home, keyless check-in, and responsive support whenever needed. We're just a message away — because your lake trip should feel easy, fun, and memorable from start to finish.

*The boat launch pictured is not in the best condition under the water, so we would not recommend using it.
*Please do not park on the neighbor’s driveway. The backyard is very private, but the front yard sits close to a neighboring home.

This was the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend with family. We had everything we needed and then some, including family games, supplies for water play and lots of outdoor seating! The kitchen was extremely well stocked and organized, with plenty of room for preparing and sharing family meals. The whole house was extremely clean, with extra attention given to seating arrangements, amenities and additional details in this team's hospitality. Check-in and out were both a breeze!

The home was wonderful. The heat wave hit hard, so it was too hot outside to enjoy the incredible outdoor area & dock... but inside of the home was perfect for reconnecting, playing board games, watching the World Cup and making new memories. Beds were comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed to make incredible meals. Highly recommend this property!!!

Host was quick to respond and everything had instructions and was well laid out. The card and Board games were very nice for evenings with the kiddos. Was an overall great vacation for my husband and I and our 3 kiddos, we brought our boat and kayaks but the home also had a few kayaks provided.

I used to live on Lake Norman, and I came back to visit and stayed at this place. It was great, right on the water. I was able to dock a boat for a couple of days. There's a grocery store nearby, and obviously you can drive into the city pretty easily, but if you're looking for relaxation, this is a great place to relax.
