A view of fresh air!
A group of us/friends stayed there as a type of reunion. We had a great time- enjoyed the beautiful views repeatedly as well as walks through the neighborhood. The kitchen was well-stocked and we made several meals. The beds were comfortable and cozy. Our host was attentive and gracious. We had a lovely coat and hope to return.

Impressive house - pics dont do it justice
Fantastic house. Areas have been updated since the pictures were taken. For example the TV next to the bar has been replaced to a flat screen. Games were fun in the basement, ladies loved the hot tub, great seasoned wood for the fireplace for the could cold days. Dock was great, my only suggestion is can you heat the lake water so the fish will bite regularly? LOL. Just kidding, everything was perfect with this house. Thanks so much!

Relaxing Stay at Lake Norman
The hosts (in particular, Toni) were easy to reach and responsive to all questions. The property was amazing and well-stocked with pretty much anything that anyone could want. The outdoor space, with all of the various decks, were really nice to have as well - lots of options. The furniture, especially the couches on the first floor and bed in the MBR, were super comfortable. Clearly, the owners take a lot of pride in ensuring that all tenants have a great stay. They ensured that there were extra dishes, silverware, pots, pans, etc, so you never had to waste time cleaning dishes until you were ready to depart. The game room was also really nice with all of the things there to keep someone busy, especially if the weather was too cold or rainy. I personally enjoyed the video game arcade - brought me back to the 70s for a little while. One comment about the area - Cawtawba, where the house is located, is in a pretty rural area, so be prepared to drive 30 minutes or so if you need to go grocery shopping or go to a good restaurant (which are numerous in nearby Mooresville). That said, it's peaceful and quiet in that location, other than the occasional small airplane that might be driving down the road to go to their homeowners local hangar (kind of fun, in its own way). Overall, just a very nice time in a very accommodating and well-appointed home. Thanks!

This is our 3rd time at Saunderosa. Two families with older teenagers celebrating a fall birthday. We can’t say enough good things about this gem. We love spending time here in the fall. The lake is quiet and the neighborhood is lovely. We start planning our next visit the minute we get home.

Fantastic
We had such a fun week at this lake house. Our group ranged in age from 12 to 95 and Saunderosa offered something for everyone. The house is situated in a quiet cove, perfect for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. The game room was a bonus during rainy periods and we appreciated the many games available. Everyone thought the beds were really comfy, the kitchen was completely stocked, and the variety of deck chairs and tables gave everyone plenty of space to be outside in sun or shade. The house is obviously well maintained and was immaculately clean. I can't say enough good things about this home--one of our favorite vacation spots ever.

Best House (home) ever!
We were constantly surprised and amazed at all this house had to offer! We are cooks and had everything we could have asked for the beautifully equipped kitchen. The house itself was comfortably furnished and nicely decorated. There was no shortage of books, games for indoors and out, and water toys. The decks outside were also furnished nicely for dining or just hanging out. The outside space provided both sun and shade options. Everything inside and out was spotless. We highly recommend this beautiful property. Shopping and dining options were also convenient.

The property, the host, the location; everything and everyone was spectacular!! I could've written this review a week before my stay because Toni is just that amazing of a host. And the property, oh my word, absolutely beautiful, extremely peaceful and serene. My husband and I fell in love with the property and each other all over again at the property. We did not want to leave. We will be repeat visitors. Saundersoa is an exceptional place to vacation. Toni is the epitome of what a host should be, I love her; so amazing!
