About this property

The Quiet Cove • A Refined Lake Norman Retreat


  • Welcome to your little escape in the country—where you can slow down, spread out, and remember what it feels like to not be in a hurry.

    Our cozy, thoughtfully designed space has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen with actual cooking tools. (Because “fully stocked” should mean more than one pan and a sad spatula.)

    Outside, there’s plenty of room to wander, relax, sit with a drink, and do absolutely nothing—if that’s on your agenda. No judgment here.

    We’re also home to two rescued potbellied pigs, Kevin Bacon and Jon Hamm’let. They have their own space on the property and won’t be sharing your accommodations, but you may spot them around the farm. They’re friendly, curious, and always happy to accept a peanut or two from their human admirers.

    We’re Trish and Dave, and we live on the property too. We’re nearby if you need anything, but otherwise, we’ll leave you to enjoy your peace and quiet.
    You’re close enough to town for anything you might need, but far enough away to actually feel like you got away.

    Come settle in, kick back, and enjoy a little country comfort—with just enough polish, plenty of peace, and a couple of rescued pigs somewhere nearby to keep things interesting.

Great stay

We enjoyed this place so much that we booked our next stay here as soon as we left and already looking forward to coming back. The house is very clean and comfortable, located on a beautiful property with fields, forest, and a waterfall. Trish and Dave are great hosts and we enjoyed meeting their dogs and pigs.

Great stay-perfect for a family get together

Our stay was wonderful. The house was perfect for what we were looking for. We love the country view, and it was close to My husband son and which he lived in that area. We took a walk together. We played games outside on the patio and when it got too hot, we were inside with the cool air conditioning overall it was great stay.

Home Away From Home

If you are looking for a quiet cozy place to retreat to for some relaxation, this is the place to be. The home is very clean and the bed was super comfortable. The office space was great for getting some work done. The total vibe is very homey and I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect hideaway

This is a cozy, comfortable cottage tucked back in a beautiful rural setting. The accommodations were first rate and the setting was wonderful from the fireflies at night to the rooster in the morning. We would return without any hesitation.

The place was nice, cozy, and very inviting. We came from Baltimore for a wedding so we only stayed for the weekend. I took a morning run the first morning and it was exhilarating to see the beautiful landscape and many animals. We woke up to beautiful deer grassing in the backyard. Many rabbits running around. Very peaceful. Host left feed and treats for the local animals. Will 100% stay here again. Not enough stars on this review to give. **********

Another Great Stay!

This is the second time we have used Trish's cottage for guests coming in from out of town, and again, it was wonderful! Very clean, great communication. She even had a note written for our friend from the Philippines with a Filipino greeting, which made him very happy. Definitely will stay here again!

Tranquil surroundings

We came to visit family who have a lake house nearby. The cottage is adorable, welcoming, cozy and pristine. Couldn’t have asked for a better location- a peaceful property where you can enjoy watching the birds and even visit with the goats! The hosts thought of every detail to make our stay comfortable and memorable.

Beautiful, Peaceful, and Very Clean

The house is well maintained with nice furnishings. It is in the country, but because of that, it is quiet and peaceful. There is no water view but within a short drive, you can be on the lake. The hosts are very nice but allow you to have privacy. I would highly recommend.

Great stay and wonderful weekend!

We booked Trish and Dave’s place for a sibling getaway weekend and it was perfect for us! The home is located on a beautiful property and close to lots of things to do. The house was super clean and comfortable and met all our needs. My brother, sister, and I were sitting on the front porch catching up and Trish comes driving up with brand new cushions for the porch chairs that we were sitting on to make us more comfortable. It was lovely!

An Absolute Pleasure

We had a wonderful time at this property, which was immaculately clean lovingly maintained and in a great location, a quiet and spacious property near a working farmette. There was so much charm and character that you cannot help but immediately feel at home when you walked in the door. It had a beautifully appointed and spacious front porch that was really just a great place to hang out and enjoy some peaceful vibes. The kitchen was nice and open and it overlooked a large and fenced backyard and the woods beyond it. We will definitely be back!
