You’ve probably used VRBO or Home Away for mountain and beach rentals – they also have a great selection of homes on Lake Norman – from rustic to extravagant. Many of these rentals have boats and jetskis available that can be delivered dockside for an additional fee. You can rent these houses for a few nights, or for the week.
