Other things to note:
** We have smart TV’s and Free high-speed Wi-Fi provided by owners (but internet on the lake is sometimes not the best)

** Note also, there are steps from the parking to house as well as steps and some terrain down to the lake as shown in the pictures
** Note, NO Pets allowed
*** Dredging in our cove began in the winter to enhance water depth and was scheduled to be complete by February 2024. Unfortunately, they had to cease before completing the project to comply with Duke Energy prohibiting dredging February thru July due to fish spawning season. Once this resumes this could potentially impact our dock placement during your stay at Summit Ridge Retreat. For further details or questions about your stay please reach out to the Owners.

family Christmas gathering
The house was beautiful and perfect for our family gathering. We came from both coasts and Germany and stayed for three nights. Travel by road and air was convenient, the house was immaculate, and the location was serene. We highly recommend this property.

Beautiful, great for family celebrations
So the place is even more beautiful than the pictures communicate. it's also on a stunningly beautiful piece of property. Let's get the stairs out of the way to begin with, as they've been much talked about: Anyone with a reasonable level of fitness is going to manage them just fine; if you have folks with canes or walkers you'll need a different space. They were not a problem for anyone in our family (7 of us age 20 - 57). The 2 kitchens made cooking our Thanksgiving meal an absolute pleasure. The abundance of board games and other games (like shuffleboard, cards, foosball and darts) kept our kids entertained throughout the entire stay! Communication from the owner was best in class! The beds were supremely comfortable. The bathrooms are immaculate and the master bath is a study in luxury. Truly a chef's kitchen with roaster pans, soup pots, every size frying pan, wok, appliances, platters, wine and martini glasses, even copper mugs for moscow mules. A whole set of plastic dishwear for littles. Great neighborhood. Thirteen minutes from an awesome grocery store (which was shocking given how remote and secluded the property feels!) Great back deck where we all stood and talked and watched the stars one night. So beautiful. Pristine laundry room with full size machines. Sadly the lake was unusually low (drought) during our visit, so we did not get to take the kayaks out, but we're planning to come back in the summer. Perfect family memory-making space. Book it!!! :)

Best Girls Trip Ever
My 6 friends and I had the absolute best time here. We spent a Thursday-Sunday here and enjoyed every second of it. Dana is an amazing host with great communication and great instruction on check in and check out process. We enjoyed our nights by the fire and just hanging out in the beautiful backyard! We woke up every morning well rested in the super comfy beds. If I’m ever in the area again I will be staying here!

Great place for a family gathering
The pictures of this place certainly don't fully convey the beauty of this house - especially the shared areas. The owners had certainly focused on ensuring there were plenty of activities supported no matter the interest of each individual: Darts, video games, shuffleboard, foosball, board games (the redneck one is great), books, kayaks, paddle boards, and the list goes on. On the practical side, there wasn't anything they didn't have covered when we arrived. Coffee makers - both types, crock pots, openers, toaster, cookware: all the stuff that 2 full kitchens would hold. Garbage bags, laundry detergent, starter paper towels, hand soap and other nice little personal touches like some light snacks & water also provided. We had a family of 12 with a couple of people with some mobility challenges. Although the steep incline that this house is built on absolutely makes it the scenic environment it is, we did need to setup a couple of chairs along the pathway down to the dock in particular to allow those individuals to take a break. It's a little steeper than any pictures will show. The parking area also sits above the house - roughly level with the roof line, then a bit of a decent. That one is slightly easier with the wide steps and not as long of a distance. On the other hand, several us living in flat land areas loved the workout. The driveway is a bit narrow with that same type of drop. Picturesque Easy check in with programmed lock and plenty of instructions.

We had a wonderful experience. The home was beautiful and well located. Tucked away in cove that made it feel very secluded and pristine. The family and I have agreed we need to this annually.

Excellent lake home
The home was perfect for multiple families! It was a great location on a quiet channel on Lake Norman. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, boat dock for our boat rental and the games inside the home made for fun evenings with family and friends!

Beautiful home
Home was amazing with plenty of room and fun for our entire family. Everything you needed was there and labeled/easy to find. Communication with owners was great and they provided lots of detailed instructions for their property. The owners did a great job of setting up their home for our arrival and helping us to feel welcome. Our kids loved all of the game options downstairs as well. My only advice is that this property has a very steep/quirky driveway as well as stairs that lead down to the home and more stairs that lead to the lake. This home is not for anyone that has mobility issues. The stairs were a beast for our family-but we probably lost several pounds and toned our legs during our stay! 😂
