Wish We Could've Stayed Longer!

This place was great! Housed all of us comfortably, plenty of room for a large group. We really enjoyed the outdoor space with the fire pit and corn hole! Wish we had more time there to see what else it had to offer or to experience the lake!

Great stay

Our family stayed at this home for a week and celebrated New Year’s Eve. The home was gorgeous and everything was perfect. Communication was great! The coffee pot was broken and they delivered a brand new one the next day! I will definitely stay here again hopefully in the summer so we can utilize the lake!

Shades of Summer - a lovely home

The week went too fast! The home was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful family reunion. It would have been perfect if we could swim in the lake…and if there was a dresser in the “bunk room.”

Beyond Expectations

We were in town for our son's wedding and had booked based on location near my son's house and an estimate of how many people we might need to accommodate. Shades of Summer exceeded all of our expectations! It was incredibly spacious while still having wonderful gathering spaces, the beds were all very comfortable, and the kitchen amazingly well stocked with cookware and dishes/silverware. It was also spotlessly clean and ready for our arrival. Communication with the host was excellent. The worst part was trying to turn onto Hwy 16 at rush hour, but that's a planning issue on our part. I would 100% recommend this home!

Perfect Getaway

This is the perfect getaway for a large group. There were 12 of us. It rained every day but every day the sun came out long enough to go swimming in the lake, paddle boarding, kayaking (that were provided by the owner) and boating. We rented the boat because there is a beautiful pier that made it so easy to board and get off. When it did rain we had the whole downstairs that had the pinball machine & air hockey table that was put to good use. We also played cards, watched movies. We cooked every meal there using the fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, utensils, glassware you name it, it was there. I do want to point out though, the walk down to the pier is a little steeper than it looks only because we had some elderly friends that found it a little trying because there are no handrails for them to hold onto. But this is a wonderful property and we would definitely use this property again.

Very welcoming!

This was the most welcoming home I have stayed in. It was very clean, they provided the basic essentials which was a huge help, and the one level living and entry was key for Grandma. I highly recommend this home.

Great family gathering

The photos didn’t do the property justice. It was spacious and beautifully decorated. Plenty of room to all be together as well as give the kids a break from the adults. Highly recommend this owner and property.

Christmas on the LAKE

This property is BEAUTIFUL! The pics were accurate and EXACT! The property was up to date and everything was very accessible. We spent our family Christmas here and brought accessories to decorate but it was already decorated with a tree and fixtures. A MUST SEE AND ENJOY!!

Great Amenities

Perfect halfway spot for reconnecting with a long distance friend we haven’t seen in years! Well maintained and great view. Never been to Lake Norman and it did not disappoint. Our favorite thing about the property was all the on-site games and activities. Would stay here again. And the management was quick to respond if we had questions.

American Legion World Series

The house was absolutely beautiful. Updated furniture and appliances…..everything we needed! The management company was so accommodating. Our boys made it to the final four of the American legion World Series and we needed to book an extra night, emailed the company at 10:30pm and they got back to me right away and allowed us to extend our reservation. We would definitely stay here again!

Great for all Ages

This was a nice getaway while attending an event in Charlotte. Close enough to get downtown and also good to spend time kayaking the lake. House was superb. Had ample room for all guests. Morgan was top notch customer service and would rent again based on the responsiveness alone. Close to restaurants in Denver and grocery stores.
