The house was so nice and roomy and the location on the lake was great for kids. As usual, no issues with access and we love the area. Cannot wait to come back.

Perfect Stay for 12 of us on the Lake!
My family of 4 and two of our friends' families with 2 children each, comfortably fit in Waddell Waters. We loved the open kitchen with the view of the lake, and my personal favorite spot was the adirondacks on the balcony overlooking the lake. It's perfectly shaded in the afternoon, after a long day of swimming, boating and water skiing. We enjoyed cooking smores on the firepit with the kids and loved fishing off the dock. The rooms were spacious and well decorated, and the kids loved the room with 8 bunk beds, the ping pong and the arcade. We can't wait to book this place again as it fit our needs perfectly!

Great House in a Great Spot on Lake
Terrific home in a great central part of Lake Norman. We had group of 13 and home was very spacious and comfortable for a group/family of our size. Bunk room was awesome for the kids and all the games in basement got used daily. Terrific outdoor space, dock and all around great experience at this home. Had one issue with some water pressure on our first day and Stay Lake Norman was on-site within 30 minutes to correct the situation. Thanks and would definitely recommend the home and booking with Stay Lake Norman!

Waddell is a great stay
We filled all the beds and there was plenty of space for everyone in the house. The host was very quick to answer my ongoing questions throughout our stay and maintenance was very nice and also very quick at responding to any issues. The house itself was both comfortable but also decorated very nicely. I didn’t realize there was another mini kitchen in the lower level and it was very much needed with the amount of people in our group. We all can’t wait to come back one day!

Great home for large group
This house is perfect for 16 people! Kitchen is fully stocked to cook for a large group and bathrooms had plenty of towels. I hosted 15 of my friends for a lake weekend and we especially loved the adult-friendly bunk beds!

The Perfect Christian Retreat
From the moment you park in the driveway, you’re greeted with beautiful roses. Every bit of this stay was perfection. Everyone was comfortable in the space and had plenty of room to sleep comfortably. There were 11 of us, and we will be expanding the group next year, and I’m confident 16 people would be just as comfortable.

We had a great time staying at this property. There was enough space to comfortably sleep all of our guests. The house was very clean and well managed. We loved the backyard with walkway down to the lake, great place for photos. Would definitely want to come back in the summer to enjoy the property some more!

Waddle Waters New Years Stay
My family’s stay at Waddell Waters was absolutely wonderful! The property and home is beautiful and comfortable. Minor recommendations for improvement include ensuring the propane tank for fireplace has been replaced/refilled, providing more selection of kitchenware such as spatulas and serving spoons, and outdoor fireplace accessories. Besides the minor issues, the overall stay and experience was 5 star! Will definitely return in the future.

We loved it! It was very well appointed and clean. The kitchen was fabulous but surprised we didn't have a garbage disposal. Great touch with the coffee fixings! The bar stools would have been best for our group if they would have swiveled. We think the downstairs is a great space and we loved the bunkhouse room even though the steps were small. However, we removed a star because of the steepness of the stairs leading down and no elevator. We loved the outdoor fireplace and the swinging chairs! We also slept well but would have preferred feather pillows. Bathroom rugs or stepping towels for the bathtub shower and toilet would have been nice and some body wash upstairs would have helped me out. I'm not trying to be critical, but provide what I truly hope will be helpful feedback, we enjoyed this property!

beautiful and relaxing lakehouse
waddell waters was the perfect stay for our big family gathering - there was plenty of room, beautiful lake access, and so much for all to do! the house was wonderfully decorated and the configuration allowed each of the three upstairs bedrooms to have their own bathroom, plus an extra powder room. the kids absolutely loved the extra long custom bunkbeds and the arcade games, pingpong table, and shuffle board. having a pontoon delivered to the dock was the icing on the cake - we had a great time tubing and skiing! the location is also really convenient - even though its about 5 minutes away from the grocery store and sporting store, it feels like a relaxing island once on the property. we couldn't have had a more lovely vacation, thank you!
