We had an excellent stay at Rivers Edge. The property was just as described. Our group took advantage of the amenities at the home, including playing pool, basketball, and fishing from the dock. The bedrooms were comfortable and clean, as were the bathrooms. Monica (management) was very helpful and attentive to all of our needs and requests. We will definitely consider this property if we are back in the Charlotte area.
We enjoyed our stay. The 3 teenage boys really liked all the things to do in the game room. The property manager was very responsive and helpful when I had difficulty initially getting into the home. Convenient location for our weekend trip to Carowinds.
My friends and I decided to do a girls trip to Charlotte for my birthday weekend. The lake house was perfect for us. The neighborhood was quiet, the house was spacious and clean, and all of the must haves in the home were there. The property manager was very responsive to any questions I had. We will definitely be staying here again!

Great stay on the river!
Great place for a big group to hang out and enjoy the view. We ended up not going into Charlotte because there were so many activities to do at the house. Great backyard area and pool with lots of space.
We had a great time saw an osprey, blue heron and bald eagle off the balcony. We visited the Raptor Center and the Botanical Gardens. Both great experience. We are over or 70's and I have some suggestions to help accommodate your older visitors especially the stairs. Please contact me for more info.
The house was so beautiful. The pictures listed matched the description perfectly. The location and neighborhood was amazing. My family enjoyed it. We'll definitely book again for the summer. The lake view was so pretty. The host responded back immediately anytime we reached out.
This property gave us the space we needed and the sleeping accommodations we were looking for. The amenities were all we could ask for and the modern touches were very nice. The backyard view was gorgeous every morning. Proximity to shopping was convenient. However, having to register with the property manager after reserving the unit was a little aggravating. Overall, the trip and house was wonderful.
Easy check in/out and host was prompt to respond for the few questions we had. Lots to do for the kids and enjoyed the outside spaces. Steps downstairs are very tricky. Good thing there are two bedrooms on main floor for the older folks. Only issue is the pool started to turn green on day 3. But it's an above ground without a lot of circulation and it was scorching outside. Overall, definitely recommend.
Property was nice. Hard to keep the downstairs warm. There were a lot of things that needed to be tightened and there weren't tools available (bunk bed ladder, stools). Only one usable poolstick. Our heating unit went out on our last night, but communication was very good, and we were able to get a solution quickly. Overall, I think it was a little pricey for what it was, especially the cleaning fee. We did most everything ourselves, so 475 was a little steep.

Bday Weekend
Overall the house and location were great! It had plenty of room for my friends and family to sleep and hang out with each other. The game room was awesome! Unfortunately there was only 1 pool stick which we made work and the basketball game wouldn’t turn on. Maybe out of batteries?
I also wish we would have known the pool cover was on because we did bring bathing suits.
We never did find the starter pack of paper towels. And we didn’t find the soap and sponge for the kicthen until the night before we left. I would suggest leaving that by the sink because it was on a tiny table behind the couch. Didn’t make much sense to us.
However, besides the minor inconveniences, we all had a great time and loved this house! It was spacious and had a great view and location. The company responded fairly quick when I had any questions or concerns (within an hour) the house was overall clean when we arrived (besides 2 dead bugs down stairs.)
We would definitely stay here again.

Bittersweet
I’m pretty easy to please as a guest. We were contacted prior to the stay about moving to a different rental because the previous guests wanted to extend. This didn’t feel great- but to be fair Mary was very kind about it and understanding. Upon arrival the code we were given to the front door was wrong so we had to stand outside until the property management company responded. They responded relatively quickly but still not the greatest start. The home has a beautiful view of the water and that part absolutely lived up to expectation. We didn’t spend much time in the house as we were there for a conference. Other than sleeping we spent about 3 waking hours in the house. The WiFi was broken, the dishwasher didn’t work, the TV was hard to operate with no real instructions about the volume, and there were cockroaches on the floor. While it was clear that we had clean sheets and clean countertops, it appeared that a deep cleaning hadn’t been done in a long time. Guests who walked across their room barefoot had dirt all over their feet. There were dust bunnies everywhere. It just wasn’t clean. The biggest issue was actually when we got home and I was contacted by the property owner accusing us of writing on the walls. We are a group of professionals who spent very little time in the unit. I was sent photos where someone had drawn on a wall. I confirmed with our guests that nobody was writing on walls. Overall it just wasn’t a polished experience

We have a large family with three sons (wives) and six grandchildren. Rivers Edge was a perfect fit for us. It was clean, equipped with everything listed on their website and easy access to get into the home. The owner and/or iTrip was very prompt in responding to any questions I had. I would certainly use them again.

Amazing Views
The home was very clean and comfortable. The stairs were easy to manage — even though we saw other reviews mention issues, we didn’t have any problems at all. The view was absolutely amazing and made our stay even better. We really enjoyed our time here!

Multi-Family Christmas Vacation
We stayed for seven nights over Christmas, and the house was perfect for multiple families. There was plenty of space for everyone, including room to play Christmas games, and the accommodations were very comfortable. The kitchen was great for cooking a large holiday meal.
The upstairs/downstairs layout was a bit wonky, with the only backyard access via somewhat steep, uneven stairs. It took some time to figure out the light switches, and while the remote-controlled fans and lights were convenient, one remote sometimes controlled multiple lights and fans.
Overall, it was a great place for a holiday stay with lots of space to enjoy time together.
Very nice and clean home with up to date appliances, cookware, dishes, etc., nice furniture, bedding and what a view! Close to many different venues and other locations close by. So much preferred over a hotel!
The place was clean and sufficient for our group.
The main issue was the different stair heights going to the basement. Easy to fall, as one of the ladies did. We were concerned for one of the other ladies, she is older than most of the group. The shower in the Jack and Jill bath on the main floor was very tiny. We were a group of 10 senior women. They had ten plates, 10 mugs, 10 forks, 10 knifes. Our suggestion would be to add another set of each of above. A toaster would have been helpful. The toaster oven wasn’t that good for making toast. Full length mirror somewhere in the house would have helped as well. The information board didn’t work. We tried to reboot but no luck. They were very good and quick at responding to our request of drain in kitchen not draining and had it fixed by the time we returned from our day out. This was a nice place, but better for younger people.

Family wedding digs
This home was clean and well appointed. Plenty of room for all of us with lots to do. Outside was another story. The lawn needed to be cut. Especially around d the fire pit where we got bit up by bugs. The pool was dirty. The pool cleaner came the second d day we were there. Not sure what he did, but it remained very cloudy until the day we left. Needless to say, no one swam. Some safety things to note. The deck stairs are narrow and steep with one broken (Adirondack chairs outside were also broken). The railing from the first backyard level to the firepit area is dangerous. It is attached to rotting boards, and can easily fall when leaned on. Luckily we caught it early and warned everyone. Also the stairs from the main floor to the downstairs are difficult to navigate. Use caution with kids and elderly. We had 12 people stay here for a family wedding. It was a great location for us with plenty of room to relax and get ready. One more thing. The master bed is very very soft, not great for our backs.
Beautiful views of the river and pet friendly!

No Attention to Detail
Property had ants in the kitchen, lack of trash bags and paper towels. Induction cooktop only takes conductive pots and pans which made cooking difficult as they only had 2 that worked on the range. No filter in the fridge for filtered water or ice.
The house is pretty, roomy and has nice views of the Catawba River. There was an alarm in the downstairs that continued to go off through the night. We called for service and someone did show up to fix it the next day. The stairs going down, as mentioned in other reviews, are wonky and could be dangerous for some people. For the price, it was lacking. Kitchen wasn’t stocked with some basics. For example, no Tablespoon, no hand towels, only 5 forks. We were supplied with one sponge, a small bottle of dishwashing soap, two dishwasher tabs, one roll of paper towels. We were told after booking that we’d be given a starter kit and to bring a supply of essentials for when the basics ran out but for the cost of the house, I would think we could be “treated” to these things. Finally, we found it odd that there was no door on the master bathroom. It opened right up to the hall to the bedroom providing very little/no privacy. I think someone has put a good amount of work into making this a pretty, comfortable space but the price is too high and little thought has been put into the details that make a house a vacation home.
