Lakefront- Stay, Soak, Paddle, Play & Relax! On Lake Lookout in Catawba, NC

Beautifully decorated ranch style home on a walk out basement located on a private shallow cove of Lookout Shoals Lake. There is nature all around as the cove is home to a Bald Eagle, Blue Herons, turtles, song birds, deer and more. Private dock with shallow water (lake levels vary due to dam activity) and kayaks for your use, on the dock always ready to paddle. Grab a float and paddle out a short way to enjoy a swim, and we do have a large floating mat and 10x10 inflatable dock to use for swimming out from the dock due to shallow water around the dock.

Home has a huge basement game room complete with a genuine arcade Ms. Pacman (multi-game) Arcade Game, 8’ Slate Pool Table, Pop A Shot Basketball game, Air Hockey, Foosball, Darts, Bar, 75" TV) with a full bath, kitchenette counter/sink area, seating area with Bernhardt leather sofas, poker table, bar area and 2 doors that walk out to the lower covered patio complete with a brand new 6 person Sundance hot tub spa. Enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub while taking in the picturesque views of the lake and nature. This home boasts expansive picturesque views of the private cove of the lake and surrounding natural views from the basement, kitchen, living room, screened porch off main floor, and master bedroom. There are ceiling fans to cool you on both the screen porch and lower patios on hot summer days or when enjoying morning coffee.

This 4 bedroom, 3 full bath home is perfect for friends, family or romantic vacations with all seasons in mind. There is a large living room with vaulted ceilings and a wood burning fireplace that leads onto the covered screened porch with seating for dining, relaxing or enjoying your morning coffee, while overlooking the lake. A cozy den with a full sized futon, books and games galore, and an eat in kitchen with seating for 12 with panoramic views of the lake. The kitchen is well appointed with anything you may need for cooking, including a regular and a Keurig coffee maker, crock pot, toaster, microwave and glass top range.

The sloping lot features 2 expansive paver patios one off the basement area and one with a fire pit and gorgeous lake views and stone steps leading to floating dock for access to the lake. Bring your fishing poles, jet ski or boat for day use (due to the shallow water at our dock it is not guaranteed that the water will remain high enough to dock a boat there during your stay so this is at your own risk).

There is also a free public lake access point conveniently located within a few miles of the home so you can easily trailer your boat to the launch in minutes from the home, and take the boat out at the end of the day as needed. Then play or relax your troubles away at this gorgeous recently renovated lakefront retreat.

Location is amazing as the property is located within minutes of I-40 and although the setting is quiet and peaceful, there is shopping, The Rock Barn Spa, dining and entertainment options within a 20 minute drive in several directions, as well as hiking, biking and many other outdoor activity options to keep everyone of any age entertained. Have a spa weekend at the Rock Barn or play some golf at their beautiful course nearby. Take a 10 minute drive and visit the historic Murray’s Mill, a turn-of-the-century gristmill with a 28’ water wheel, complete with the original 1890’s General Store, all nestled along the banks of Balls Creek.

The lake home also features outdoor patio tables and chairs on both levels for dining outdoors if desired. There is a Large 4 burner gas grill available for use off the main level decks. The garage is not available or accessible for use during your stay and remains locked. The lakeside of the property is sloped and requires adequate physical condition to navigate (terrain is uneven and lot slopes down toward lake anyone with balance or coordination issues would be advised to avoid these areas or have physical assistance available to navigate) there are natural stone stepping stones, uneven grassy areas, and steps without handrails to navigate outside from either the upper driveway area, or from the back of the house down to the lake. Parents with young children should be advised that they will need to closely supervise small children due to the nature of the property both inside and out. The main floor and living areas are accessible by handicapped individuals. The main living areas are all on one level with one step (no handrail) to enter and exit via the front door. Once inside there is a shower with a built in seat and hand rail in the hall bath, and an exterior and enclosed screen porch all accessible from the main level.

This home does have exterior ring security cameras in the front and rear of the home and a ring doorbell used for security surveillance monitoring when the home is vacant, to monitor noise levels if there are concerns, and monitor our personal property located on the premises, however, we will ensure your privacy during your stay. Please be assured that there are no interior cameras, and no cameras in the hot tub area.

Please note Lookout Shoals lake is nestled between Lake Hickory and Lake Norman, but there is no boating access between the lakes. Lake Lookout does not have marinas or boat rental companies.

Wonderful quiet getaway in the lake!
The property was absolutely amazing- especially the fully equipped game room, hot tub, plenty of kayaks and tubes, the great floating dock and Sonos sound system. It was a perfect place for a quiet week with two families with teens/tweens. We had an expected and amazing experience when we got to see the cows across the river go for a swim! The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had about the property. We ate in every night and the kitchen had all the necessities and then some. Would definitely come back! Thank you!

Simply Amazing!!
My family stayed at this beautiful home for six nights and we didn’t want to leave! Everything was perfect! We enjoyed kayaking on the lake, playing in the awesome game room, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit, and just relaxing on the patio. The host is fantastic. Super responsive and has thought of everything we could ask for: plenty of towels, the most comfortable beds, plenty of electrical outlets to charge our devices (no moving furniture to get to them, like most places. It’s the little things ;-), and so much more. The floating mat was a perfect way to easily get out to their floating dock. And, the quiet lake was just wonderful for relaxing (no having to worry about boats speeding by). We arranged for a Publix grocery delivery to arrive when we checked in and stopped into the Dollar General right down the road for whatever else we needed. The kids loved it; the adults loved it. We’re so grateful to the hosts for opening their home and sharing their little piece of paradise with us. Next time we go to NC, this home will definitely be our first choice!

Relaxing Location
This house has everything you need! The game room was a hit for everyone on our trip. Beds were comfortable and house was clean. We took our pontoon boat and it stayed in the water for our entire trip- the fluctuating water levels didn’t effect us keeping it at the dock. Walmart within 13 miles and Dollar General within 6 miles. We would definitely stay again!

Family Time at the Lake
The lake house was perfect for our family. Everyone had plenty of space. The game room in the basement was enjoyable for the evenings once the sun went down. We brought the boat for fishing, I loved the kayaks and the swim mat. The house was clean, beds were comfortable. Our family dinners on the screened in porch was enjoyable. The location is perfect to get away from a crowd but close enough for convenient stores. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home. All of our grown kids gave it a 5 star also!

What an Amazing House and Perfect Location!!
We had an amazing time at this rental! Lots of space, the game room basement was perfect! Jaccuzi was sooo nice. But the absolute best tops was the location on the lake. The dock is at the end of the cove with only one neighbor on one side and none across way so it’s like having your own privet cove. My sons caught tons of big fish right off the dock. The kayaks were so much fun! Ooo and beds were super comfy too! 5 stars all around!

Photos do not do this house justice! Gorgeous views. House was very clean! We had rainy, cold weather during our stay which was a bummer because it limited the outdoor activities we could do, but we still had a blast because this house has PLENTY to keep you entertained! Enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend!
