Four generations spent a week here and there were spaces for everyone. Shaded places by the pool if you didn’t want the sun, screened in places on the quiet side of the house and plenty of places in the house to stay cool. Second time we stayed and best pool ever!

Everything was just as was described, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there, we had rain every day, but we managed to still have fun and finally use the pool. So glad that the pool was heated due to some cool days. Thank you for the memories, our family was able to make.

Perfect for our 13 adults and 3 children. We thought we were going for the lake but spent all our time at the perfect pool and pool house. There were multiple cornhole tournaments that went on this week. The house slept everyone well and the kitchen was excellent.

Our family had an amazing week reconnecting with each other in this beautiful house right on Lake Norman. From the spacious interior and plenty of places to sleep to the pool, pool house, and boat house, there were enough places for everyone to enjoy our time together. The kitchen was equipped with everything we could possibly need, the beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood was perfect for morning runs or walks. We especially loved the kayaks and the pool. We would stay here again!

Memory Maker

We loved the Badger Lake House! It is a perfect spot to bring families with every convenience available! We had our kids and grandkids with us and between the beautiful pool with slide and diving board and the pool house and dock, everyone had a great time! The pool house was great to give the kids a break from the sun. This was by far the cleanest rental we have ever had! Kudos to our premier host, Emily!!

Great Time on The Lake

We had such a great time at this lake house! We were meant to go to Asheville, but due to the damage from the hurricane, we had to switch plans last minute and we are so glad we did. We had a family of 17 ranging from 4 to 75 and everyone had the best time. From the pool, to the kayaking, to the fishing, the rented pontoon, we had no reason to go anywhere! Great communication with the owners, and now the whole family can’t wait for round two at Lake Norman.

Super fun property!!

Very clean, check in was really easy, all the amenities were available and organized, little things like having spices in the kitchen, some toiletries and showering items, Roku TVs were a hit, pool was super nice and warm! Only feedback is the top railing looks like it could be tightened (is a little wobbly), add pool lights, and maybe more / better / organized fishing gear.

Great House and Outdoor Space

The house is beautiful with everything you need. There were 15 of us ranging from 82 to 2 years old. The outdoor space was the best we’ve seen from a huge pool with slide and diving board and plenty of spaces to be out of the sun but still poolside. The screened in porches were plentiful and were great for dinners and late night card playing.

The Badger House....hot...hot....hot

House is huge, well appointed and clean. So large that there were a couple of rooms that our family of 12 never saw. Speaking of large.....biggest private pool I have ever seen....complete with diving board. Also made use of the private dock for our pontoon rental. There were a couple of heatwave-related issues that the host's dealt with in short order. Overall, house was a huge hit with our family.

Wonderful Family Time

We had a great week at Badger House. There was plenty of space to spread out and little nooks if you needed a quiet place to read. The basement with it's 2 bedrooms, living room and kitchen worked out great for my son and his 2 young children. The pool was awesome and is the largest one we've ever had at a rental. The outdoor restroom and shower came in very handy. We rented a pontoon for the week, so we spent most of our time either on the lake or in the pool. The owner was very responsive when we had an issue with the refrigerator. Overall, a smooth week and a wonderful time with our entire family of 14.

Emily thank you for having us and making our lake Norman vacation memorable. Your home is beautiful and the pool was beautiful. When we had to reach out to Emily regarding a storm that came through, she was responsive and prompt with solutions. The house was clean and enough space for our large family.

Emily was an incredible host . Responded to our questions within minutes. The power went out and before we knew it there were several flashlights delivered! That’s what we call 5 star service! The house is fully equipped with the essentials needed for your stay . We all enjoyed the huge swimming pool and poolside cabana that included a TV.

Best Week Ever!! Badger Lake House!

This house was perfect for a wonderful family lake week! 8 adults and 6 children all 5 and under enjoyed every minute with plenty of room to spread out inside and out! The pool is very large and the diving board and slide were such a hit! The outdoor grills were very clean! Everything we needed was provided for in the kitchen! Beds were very comfortable and the dock was a great place for the grandchildren to fish. Add a pontoon boat and the week was complete. Emily could not have been more professional and quick to reply to all questions! We would highly recommend this house to anyone!

Fantastic vacation house. Five stars.

House, pool, neighborhood and lake are beautiful. Owner sent a comprehensive list of area attractions and amenities, as well as detailed checkout instructions. Both were appreciated. House is very clean and well-kept. Multiple sitting areas for people to find a little alone time for reading. Communication with owner was excellent. A windstorm knocked over a piece of pool furniture causing it to break (always get the damage insurance!) and Emily couldn’t have been more understanding and polite. One of the best, if not THE best VRBO, we’ve booked. we would definitely stay here again.

Amazing! We loved The Badger Lake House!

GREAT HOUSE!!! We had an amazing time! A wonderful week! The house was absolutely perfect! What a gorgeous property! The outside is beautifully landscaped and the interior is beautifully decorated. We loved all the space. We had 15 people in our party and there was plenty of room. We loved the comfortable couches for lounging and the dinning room table for games each night! The 2 kitchens were amazing and well stocked! We cooked in breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had everything we needed! We enjoyed the outdoor bar seating at the railing, a really nice place to eat! The pool was a favorite of all! It was clean and a great size! We loved it! We spent 8 hrs in the pool each day! We loved the pool house! I mean talk about convenience, we stocked the refrigerator with everything we needed. The lake was lovely, so warm and easy to get into from the beautifully carpeted dock! We also fished daily from the dock and caught some big catfish. Everything was thought of in this house and we will definitely rent again! Emily was lovely to work with!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us!

The house was exactly like the pictures beautiful. Large enough for our family of 13 to not be all over each other. We so loved the pool it was so big you would think you were at a resort. I would highly recommend this property and Michael and Emily were amazing to work with, Any questions I had were answered in a timely manner.
