The Lake Norman Retreat, formally operated as a bed and breakfast, is back on the vacation rental scene! The architecture of this 4,200 square foot home is based upon the work of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Located on the main channel of Lake Norman, you will literally feel at one with nature in this setting, while enjoying all the modern amenities.
The Space
The Lake Norman Retreat boasts panoramic view of Lake Norman’s main channel and is located directly across the channel from unspoiled Lake Norman State Park. The home has the feel of a large tree house perched high above the Lake, and offers an enjoyable and scenic walk through a variety of dogwood, azalea and rhododendron down to the lake covered boathouse and dock and boat slips.
Lake Norman Retreat is ideal for group gatherings, family reunions or corporate retreats.
The upper level of the Retreat offers wood beam vaulted ceilings throughout, large great room overlooking main channel of Lake Norman, kitchen and bar area, and two separate living quarter wings, each with three beautifully decorated bedrooms.
The Great Room offers large flat screen television mounted above fireplace, comfortable sectional and leather and cushioned sitting chairs, wood burning fireplace, large dining table comfortably seating eight, floating wood bar with additional bar stool seating, and beautiful view of Lake Norman’s main channel through multiple windows and sliding glass doors.
The Great Room opens out to spacious wrap-around deck and stairs winding down through azalea, rhododendrum and dogwood to Lake and dock. At the dock, stand up paddle board, kayak and water toys are available for use. Pontoon boat is available for daily or weekly rental for an additional charge.
Screened porch and expansive decking wrap around the exterior of the home, and features two separate eating areas, numerous sitting areas and charcoal and gas grills.
