Where to stay this summer on Lake Norman

No two trips to Lake Norman look the same — and neither should the place you stay. Whatever your travel plans entail, StayLakeNorman has the perfect vacation rental home for you. Let us help you find the ideal home to suit your needs and create an unforgettable getaway for your group.

where to stay if you're traveling with a big group 

Planning a family reunion or team retreat that requires extra space? Check out Willow Landing, Hillstone Ridge and The Chasestone. These gorgeous homes offer accommodations for 18 as well as a variety of activities and lounging areas where big groups can congregate.

Where to stay if you're bringing your dog

All StayLakeNorman properties are pet-friendly and happy to welcome your pup. If you prefer the additional security, Paddle Pointe, Salience Path and Niblick on Norman all provide a fenced-in yard where your four-legged friend can romp to their heart’s content.

where to stay if you want extra privacy

If a secluded getaway is what you’re craving, these peaceful homes offer just that. Lucent Sunset Retreat and Lake Norman Playaway are both surrounded by an incredible landscape of lush greenery, towering trees and tranquil water.


where to stay if you love to be outdoors

Is outdoor fun your jam? At Normandy Approach, shade lovers can enjoy a fabulous screened-in gathering area with a ping-pong table, and the sun worshippers in the group can take advantage of a lovely pier with a sunbathing area. At Blanca Bay on Brawley, all manner of outdoor activities are available, from basketball and pickleball to swimming and sunning around a pristine heated pool.


where to stay if you need a separate space for your in-laws

You love them, but you also know that having your own space makes vacations more peaceful. Not to worry, Sunset on Ballycastle and Lake Norman Hideaway have lovely separate guest quarters that will delight your in-laws with their own place to retreat and unwind.


There’s really no choice other than a luxury lake house when you’re spending time in the Lake Norman area. StayLakeNorman offers vacation rentals with high-end amenities and concierge services that exceed expectations. If your stay leads to falling in love with the idea of living on the lake or investing in a property of your own, our real estate team will be your guide to making that dream a reality.
