Welcome to Sunset Retreat at the Lake, where two distinctive homes come together to create the ultimate Lake Norman escape. Nestled in charming Sherrills Ford, this expansive property blends the cozy character of Sunset Cottages with the modern luxury of Sensational Sunsets, offering three beautifully designed houses, ten bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, and accommodations for up to twenty-four guests. It's the perfect setting for family reunions, milestone celebrations, or a memorable getaway with friends, all framed by sweeping lake views from sunrise to sunset.
The cottages provide warmth and charm, with inviting interiors that make you feel right at home. The main cottage features an open-concept layout with exposed brick and shiplap details, a fully equipped kitchen, a sunny dining nook, and a spacious living area filled with natural light. Two queen bedrooms, including one with an en suite bath, offer a comfortable retreat. Just steps away, the guest cottage creates a private hideaway with a king bedroom, a built-in full-over-full bunk room that kids will love, a cozy living space, and a kitchenette—perfect for quiet mornings or late-night snacks.
Across the property, Sensational Sunsets greets you with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame breathtaking views of the lake. The open main level is designed for gathering, with a bright and airy living room anchored by a stone fireplace and oversized sofa, a dining area that invites long, laughter-filled meals, and a fully stocked kitchen ready for group feasts. The primary suite on this level is a serene escape, with a plush king bed, extra space for a crib or reading nook, and a spa-like bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find four more generously sized bedrooms, including another king suite, several queen rooms, and a custom bunk room that transforms bedtime into a sleepover. A second family room with a massive sectional, dual TVs, and a shuffleboard table ensures there's space for both lively game nights and laid-back lounging.
Outdoors, Sunset Retreat is all about connection and relaxation. A private saltwater pool and hot tub invite you to swim, soak, and sunbathe in your own backyard oasis. The screened-in porch and expansive deck are ideal for sharing meals with a breeze and a view, while the fire pit sets the stage for s'mores, storytelling, and evenings under the stars. The private dock extends into the sparkling waters of Lake Norman, perfect for fishing, kayaking, sunbathing, or launching your boat for a day of fun. The property's beautifully designed grounds also offer space for yard games, cornhole tournaments, or simply lounging in the sunshine.
With its combination of cozy charm and modern elegance, Sunset Retreat at the Lake offers something truly special. Whether you're spending your days splashing in the pool, unwinding in the hot tub, gathering around the fire pit, or enjoying quiet mornings on the porch with coffee in hand, every moment here feels like a memory in the making. This is more than just a place to stay—it's a destination where family and friends can come together, relax, and create unforgettable experiences on the shores of Lake Norman.
