Our stay at Shabby Chic

Very comfortable. The bedrooms were very comfortable, the large couch easily allows 4-5 people to sit comfortably and watch the TV. The kitchen was well furnished, with new appliances. Felt like home away from home. Would stay here again and highly recommend this location.

Always clean, well stocked with extra bedding, towels, kitchen supplies, cleaning supplies, etc. Lorilee is the best host, she goes the extra mile to make certain all her properties exceed your expectations!!

Wonderful!

I cannot express enough gratitude for this getaway and our host. My friend and I arrived after a stressful and uncertain time in our lives, and from the moment we stepped inside, it felt like home. The space was quiet, comfortable, and welcoming—exactly what we needed. Lorillee went above and beyond to ensure our stay was smooth and enjoyable. We truly appreciated having this sanctuary while we waited for our new home to be ready. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and homey retreat. Thank you for everything!

Super cute!!

I don’t typically leave reviews but I just really wanted to this time. This place was so cute! Decor was adorable and just what we needed for a couple of days! It’s close to a grocery store, places to eat, ice cream, etc. It was very conveniently located to where we needed to be while in town! We met the owner briefly and she was very pleasant and helpful! We will most definitely stay here again if we are back this way!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this host. Her communication was stellar and she epitomized Southern hospitality. The space is very comfortable and well-equipped.

We have been staying in VRBOs for nearly 20 years, and I have to say that Lorilee is one of the best hosts we have ever experienced. She was extremely responsive and attentive. The rental itself was perfect for our needs. It was neat, functional, and comfortable. We had everything we needed and more. Very clean rental. The location was exceptional. Walking distance to stores and restaurants. A short drive to other restaurants and shops, including Davidson. A must visit. There is a beautiful walking trail around the corner from the VRBO that is very well maintained. Quiet and safe location. Easy access to freeways as well. If you are visiting Lake Norman or western North Carolina, Shabby Chic is an excellent and unbeatable choice.

Great place for a weekend in the Lake Norman Area

We came across this property while trying to find a place to stay while our floors were being redone. This property met our needs and more. Very comfortable and quaint place that kept us close to our home to check in on the work. The host has thought of everything to make sure your stay is comfortable. The property is behind a business but is very close to restaurants , grocery and Old Town Cornelius by walking or car. We were very pleased with the linens and the cleanliness, especially a property that allows small dogs. Great to know this property is close to our home and when we have work done again and need to be out of the house , this will be our first place we look.
