Lakefront Cottage, spacious and completely renovated craftsman home

Relax, unwind and have some fun on the lake! Our newly renovated Cottage at Stumpy Creek rests on an over one acre flat, shady grassy lot in a quiet cove on Lake Norman. Dine out on the large deck, sunbath on the floating dock and swim in the peaceful cove. Explore the lake in our kayaks and paddle board. Lake Norman State Park is close by. Launch your boat from nearby Stumpy Creek Boat Landing, and dock it beside our newly renovated dock. You will love the tranquil setting, but you are just minutes away from great dining and shopping!

We just celebrated the 52nd anniversary in our family’s home on Lake Norman. We are delighted to share this newly renovated 3200+ SF cottage with you. The bonus room and sleeping loft give just the right space to spread out and have some private space, too! I know that each custom detail will accommodate your family and group's needs.

You will love the large deck and custom landscape in the beautiful back yard. There is plenty of room for games in the spacious backyard. Enjoy the patio and fire pit by the lake! Walk down the custom stone steps into the lake or jump off the floating dock!

Our family had a great time at the house. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit, playing games, and spending time in the three sitting areas. The kitchen was spacious. The host was especially friendly and easy to contact.

Great Stay

House was great for our group. We spent a lot of time on the deck, in the water and kayaking/paddle boarding. Being on the cove was perfect with kids and babies in the water. House was well stocked with everything we needed. Judy was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely rent again.

A wonderful home!

Two families stayed at this property for a week in the summer and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The property was actually nicer in person than it appeared online. It was clean, large, comfortable, well appointed/stocked with everything needed to cook meals and completely updated. We loved having a grill, floating dock and outside seating. We would love to visit again!

Wonderful lakefront home on a quiet cove

The pictures and description of this property do not do it justice. The home was beautiful,clean and well stocked with anything you would need. The yard was one of the nicest we have seen in our many years coming to Lake Norman. The owner checked on us and is kindly going to mail us something that was left behind. Our family could not have asked for a better experience.

Gorgeous Lakefront home

This house was all we needed and more! The house was clean and spacious. The kitchen was very well stocked, we cooked Thanksgiving dinner and didn’t need to purchase anything. The house had plenty of paper products and toiletries if needed. The fire pit was a big hit for s’mores. The beds were comfortable. The location was minutes from stores. The decor was beautiful. And of course the lake view was amazing! This is by far the best rental we have stayed at. Highly recommend this rental. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Military Family

We rented the cottage so that our adult children/spouses could attend a local wedding. 3 out of 4 of our children are currently, serving in the US military. ( as well as my husband) we needed a large enough place to stay with a very relaxing atmosphere. This cottage exceeded our expectations! Not only very spacious but absolutely everything you need for enjoying the down time. From kayaking, to swimming, relaxing near the fire pit. Just an amazing stay! The owners were very accommodating and this place is pristine. Please take extra care of this special home. If we are lucky enough to all get together at the same time, again… this would be on our top list!

Beautiful home, well appointed with everything you could need for a relaxing vacation. My husband and I were joined by our adult children and their spouses were a wonderful stay. Days on the dock-swimming and kayaking, and soaking up the sun, evening’s cooking together in the large, beautiful kitchen, games and relaxing on the deck in the evening. Couldn’t have been better.

Perfect Family Vacation

Our stay at the Stumpy creek cottage was perfect. We had two toddlers with us and the yard was perfect for them to run around in. They also loved the easy access into the warm lake water. The covered boat dock was also very nice to have. The owners were also very nice and helpful with any questions we had.

Wonderful home for our celebration

Rented this gigeius home for a second time. We needed a spacious place with a high-end atmosphere to host a family get together and this was perfect. As always, the very well stocked kitchen, loads of seating and separate but open gathering spaces made this a perfect spot. Enjoyed time by the fire lakeside sipping wine and star gazing.
