Photos and Description of the Charlotte vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4-8)

Our home is a 1940's era summer cottage. We're on a small peninsula of similar homes with an acre point lot jutting into the lake. These homes were built by a group of Charlotte businessmen as summer cottages for their families some 3 generations ago. The property was part of a large farm and for years the original farmhouse stood as the 'clubhouse' where Sunday school and sermons were held for summer residents and boaters who pulled up alongside the point and listened from the water. The property has a modern claim to fame: scenes from the movie 'Days of Thunder' with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were filmed on the point and in the old clubhouse. We'll leave a copy here for you to watch!

We're on the main Lake Wylie channel and you meander down a 2.6 mile road through the luxury community of The Sanctuary to reach us. This is a designated wildlife protection area where you'll see deer, fox, ospreys and other wildlife.

We enjoy spectacular sunsets from our sun room, which is glass on 3 sides. You'll love sipping your evening cocktail from under the umbrella on our deck or down on the covered dock.

We have kayaks, tubes, floats and bikes for you to enjoy - or you can grab a rod and tackle box from the closet and try your hand at catching one of our huge catfish. We have a rumored 'sweet spot' right off our dock - and the water goes from a few feet to around 20 feet at the end of the dock.

Enjoy grilling or even your own fish fry on the covered dock. Please pick from our garden (in the summertime if we're not in a drought): fresh tomatoes, herbs, peppers are right outside your door.

We know you'll love our cozy home just as much as we do. And just like our other friends - you'll never want to leave!

About ray jandoli

Ray and I fell hard for this place the first time we saw it in the sunset while driving around the day after Christmas. We knew we had to have it. We moved from Florida in 2000 and love North Carolina and Lake Wylie - the changing seasons are our favorite mystery! Ray is a carpenter and I'm a corporate person. We love to be outdoors and I love to cook. We have spent many happy hours here with our children, families, friends and dogs. We hope to meet you soon! Deb & Ray

From the minute we drove through what seemed to be a private driveway, our expectations were met on every level. There was nothing we could want for in this delightful home. How surprised we were to even find a big screen TV. That was a wonderful surprise. Then Ray came and fixed the hot tub for us.
Thank you Ray.

We have gone to Charlotte the past couple of years on New Year's to see a band in concert. Instead of staying at a hotel downtown we decided to check into other options outside of the city and found this wonderful place! We stayed for 3 nights and it was so relaxing and peaceful and the sunsets truly are amazing on the lake. We like to travel with our our two dogs and they absolutely loved the giant field adjacent to the house to run around in. We plan to come back here next New Years and hopefully in the Spring or summer so we can really enjoy the lake and go swimming, fishing, and kayaking!

We stayed at this lovely Sanctuary cottage during Christmas so we could be close to family. The owner was very accommodating and made us feel at home. The house was just as described and the owner was very helpful with our questions and providing information about the area. This is a very neat, clean, roomy cottage with a spectacular view. I would highly recommend this house for 4-5 people. We could not enjoy the summer activities but we will return during warmer months. One of the best VBRO experiences we have had. No surprises, everything we needed was provided.

My family had a wonderful time at the lake house. Everything was clean, spacious and comfortable. My dad loved the HUGE flat screen TV! There are DVD's, puzzles, and board games for your enjoyment or if it isn't raining and you're really wanting to relax, there is a hot tub on the back deck. We also enjoyed kayaking up the shoreline with the provided kayaks and fishing off the dock for catfish. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

This was just right for our family. We didn't want to spend a lot on this vacation and this was just what we were looking for. I am a germ/clean freak and I was comfortable here. The views are wonderful, great location right on the water. The owners, Ray and Deb, are fantastic people and we could tell how hard they have worked to think of everything to make a great vacation for their guests. We hope to be back soon. Thanks so much Ray and Deb!
