The living area features a large, cozy sectional perfect for watching a game or a movie or, even better, catching the amazing sunsets. The dining space offers a built-in buffet area, with a bar sink and mini fridge to set out the gourmet meals prepared in the large, fully stocked kitchen. The living room and dining room feature glass sliders to the deck, which runs the length of the house.

The main level deck features a covered area with sectional sofa seating, a Polywood table with seating for six, and two rocking chairs off the primary bedroom. There is plenty of outdoor seating for your whole group. The main level primary bedroom features a king-size bed, a large smart TV, and a sitting area with a comfy sofa. Completing the primary bedroom are glass sliders with private access to the back deck, easily accessible to start your morning with a cup of coffee in the rockers. Don't forget to wind down with a cocktail, catching the breathtaking Lake Norman sunsets!

Once you venture down the stairs at Ponderosa Pointe, there is a second living space with a couch, loveseat, and large, mounted smart TV. This area is perfect for the kiddos to escape to play games or wind down with a movie after a long day on the lake. The bunk room, for the kiddo sleepovers, sleeps 6 in two twin over full bunk beds. The lower level primary bedroom features a second King Suite - attached full bath & king bed. Both bedrooms, along with the living room, all feature glass sliders with access to the backyard patio & massive backyard. The lower-level patio has Polywood table seating for 6 & Polywood Adirondack chairs for taking in all the memories made at "the lake'!

Enjoy brand-new amenities! The garage has been converted into a fun game room with all your favorites: ping pong, air hockey, bar table & large TV.

Great House for Large Family

It was a great house for our family of 15. The boathouse is a definite plus for families with teens or older. The game room got a lot of use for nighttime ping pong and air hockey tournaments. House was clean and the grill was surprisingly immaculate. One a quiet street that is walkable/runnable, and only 10 minutes from anything you need.

Winter gathering at Ponderosa Point lakehouse

I rented over the Christmas/New Years break 2024. The property is lovely with a main house plus a separate efficiency-like space over the boathouse and we (3 families) used it all. We all appreciated the special touch with Christmas decorations added just for us. The buildings are not new so there were some minor problems that the owners probably weren't aware of. But from my positive experience when I contacted AvantStay I'm sure they will be fixed before the next guests. I have rented from VRBO for years and have never rented one that provided everything we needed. Often these big homes forget that large groups might include children. This one had plenty of china dishware but also plenty of unbreakable cups and dishes. Maybe a small detail but I can't think of one thing we needed in the kitchen that we didn't eventually find. We had plenty of space even though the December weather kept us inside more than I would have liked. The spacious decks are where I would have spent all my time had we rented in a warmer time. The boathouse is not heated and I had to call the customer service number for help, which arrived within an hour. Robert not only helped me get the space heater on but left us two additional space heaters which we did use many times. I suspect the house is rented mainly during warm times when you could take advantage of the water. On the other hand I think because we were vacationing during the off season we had no problem getting seats at restaurants.

Early Thanksgiving reunion

We had a very amazing stay at this property. The house was very well equipped for a VRBO. We enjoyed all the amenities, the fire pit, the game room, and the technology was up-to-date and plenty full for all to enjoy. The kitchen was better equipped than most of the VRBO’s we have stayed in in the past we are looking forward to renting again in the summer so we can also enjoy the lake

Prime location - great house!

House was great for hosting our family for Thanksgiving. Lots of seating and gathering space, great kitchen, and huge yard for activities. There is a guest suite if anyone wants additional privacy. One note: the listing had fireplace as an amenity at the time I booked, but the fireplaces in this house are not functional.

2nd Stay at Ponderosa escape

This was our second time visiting the property. We visited last June and we had so much fun we had to return and share with more of our family! The management team was great with communication and let us know upon arrival that the washing machine was broken and had it replaced within a day. Check in process was effortless and the house was clean and comfortable upon arrival ( guest house as well). We rented a boat for a day and having the dock available was a huge plus so we could switch kids out right at the property. We also loved the upgrades that were done to the property since our last visit, new paint and flooring, seemed the dock may have gotten a new coat of sealant as well. Thank you to the Souther Charm team and look forward to visiting again next year! Jim Nichols Gilbert Arizona

Beautiful view

This property had a beautiful view of the lake from a deck and patio and was well furnished. Having a dock and kayaks were a plus. But the wooden walkway to the end of the dock is not well-maintained and can be treacherous for children or anyone with balance or vision limitations. Showers also have no handholds for getting in and out. The maintenance company responded promptly to our report that the washing machine didn't work and we needed more towels.

Summer Stay

12 of us stayed for 5 nights. The house was as advertised. Plenty of room for 5 adults and 7 kids. All bedding and linens were clean when we arrived. Could have used a few more towels for the bathrooms and for the kitchen but there was plenty of clean beach towels available. The house could use a dust pan, there was a paper plate cut in half in the closet in its place… made it a little difficult to clean up. Definitely would visit again.
