Our tranquil property is located in the quiet part of beautiful Lake Norman. If you rent a boat or wave runners, you'll have plenty of space to roam. It is tucked away in the middle of a beautiful cove, allowing for lots of privacy, while still being close and convenient to attractions, restaurants, and shopping.

Bring it - the public launch is 2 minutes (around the corner) from our property, ride it on over and park it at our dock.

Our hot tub is stationed nearby under a private gazebo and is available year-round. After sunning and swimming all day, settle into our cozy fire pit area and toast marshmallows. Or head inside for movie time in our theater room.

Summary: The Fun House was the absolute PERFECT spot for my family's annual trip. There were 11 of us, 6 adults and 5 children. There was plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable AND to have some privacy. The photos of the listing do not do it justice, as we found the property to be STUNNING! The home was impeccably clean and well maintained. We particularly appreciated the beautiful, resort-style pool and pool deck area. The dock was perfect for our boat and came equipped with paddle boards and kayaks. We LOVED that the home is situated on a quiet cove, only about 30 yards from the main body of the lake. The owner, Nikole, was an absolute delight. She was very responsive and really went above-and-beyond to make certain that my family and I had a wonderful stay.
Kelly C. Jun 24, 2025 02:07:09 AM
Summary: The funhouse was the perfect place to host our family of 11. There was plenty of space to spread out, and lots to keep all the kids (ages 9-15) entertained. We had a great time. Thank you Nikole for being such a great host!
Joan G. Jun 12, 2025 12:00:49 AM
Summary: We had an absolute blast at The Fun House! The hosts have literally packed this house with great things to do. Our favorite spot was the awesome pool!! Our kids and grandkids spent hours there. We also loved the theater room! It was a great way for the kids to wind down after a long day. Thanks for opening your beautiful home to us. We hope to be back!

Summary: I have been trying to bless my family with a free family trip and this was it. They all had fun, good food, rest and most of all time together in a beautiful mansion. The accommodations were perfect. I plan on returning real soon
Tamala S. May 5, 2025 09:26:19 PM
Summary: The fun house was more than that, it was home but better! Everything we could want during our stay and more. Beautiful home on the lake, heated pool, and amazing bedrooms to accommodate many. A must stay and return. Thank you to our hosts for making this trip one for the books! Great memories made.
Danielle S. Oct 28, 2024 09:53:59 PM

Summary: Fun does not begin to describe the “Fun House”! We had a fabulous family weekend. The house is stunning. So much space for us to spread out and relax. A lot of thought and effort has gone into the amenities of the house. We had so much fun playing ALL of the games and the movie theater. We were able to bring our boat and found a great little lakeside restaurant for lunch. The boat launch is very close and convenient to the house. We look forward to returning when the weather is warm to enjoy skiing and the gorgeous pool. Nikole, thank for sharing your beautiful home with us.
lora C. Oct 15, 2024 08:36:06 PM
Summary: The funhouse is accurately named, there are so many things to do. The house is stocked and beautiful. I have stayed many places and this one is top notch! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
Stacy J. Sep 3, 2024 02:49:28 AM
Summary: The Funhouse is exactly as advertised! We have rented many homes and this one absolutely lives up to its billing. The amenities are amazing and we enjoyed them all — the pool, the hot tub, the grill, the paddle boards and kayaks, the theater room, the pool table, the air hockey table, the video game console and the awesome putt putt course. Everything works, all instructions are clear, everything is well organized, and the owners are very responsive. We had minigolf trophies made up in advance which made it even more fun for all the cousins (who ranged in age from 54 to 5 months; 5 mo yr old was helping his mom in the baby born)! It is very clear how thoughtful the owners are from the design of their home, to the amenities included, to the clarity of the communications. Thank you Mike and Nikole! The Funhouse will definitely be on our return list.
