Welcome to A Good Distraction, your new favorite family-friendly and dog-friendly escape on Lake Norman—where the views are endless, the amenities are unforgettable, and the pace of life slows down the moment you arrive. Whether you're planning a girls' weekend, a family reunion, a multi-generational vacation, or a getaway with friends, this lakefront home was designed for connection, comfort, and making memories together.

Step inside and immediately feel at home in the bright, airy main living space. Gleaming hardwood floors and an open-concept layout create a warm, welcoming vibe, while the large, recently remodeled chef's kitchen makes this home perfect for group stays and girls' weekends alike. Fully stocked and thoughtfully designed, the kitchen is ideal for everything from casual breakfasts to full-on family feasts, cocktail mixing at the wet bar, or sipping coffee while overlooking the lake. There's plenty of space to gather around the island or sit down together at the dining table just steps away. In the adjacent living room, a cozy sectional, gas fireplace, and large smart TV create the perfect place to unwind after a day on the water.

Upstairs, the serene primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a king bed, stunning lake views, a massive walk-in closet (complete with a crib and rocker for families traveling with little ones), and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a soaking tub overlooking the backyard. Another king bedroom is located on this level with easy access to a full hallway bathroom, making this floor especially comfortable for parents or grandparents.

Downstairs is where the fun really begins. The lower level features another comfortable living area with a big-screen TV, sectional sofa, and retro arcade games—perfect for rainy days or late-night laughs. Sleeping arrangements on this level include a private queen ensuite, two additional queen bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and a charming bunk room with two full-over-full built-ins that kids absolutely love.

The garage has been transformed into a vibrant game room, offering ping pong, pool, skee ball, air hockey, and card games at the game table. With multiple TVs throughout the space, this area is ideal for friendly competition, teens hanging out, or keeping the game on while everyone plays.

Step outside to your private, fully fenced outdoor oasis—a huge plus for families with kids and guests traveling with dogs. Multiple upper and lower decks are furnished for lounging, dining, and soaking in Lake Norman's beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Fire up the outdoor kitchen for summer grilling, then gather in the evenings around the fire pit, outdoor fireplace, or cozy fire table. There truly is a perfect spot for every kind of night.

The private pool and hot tub are framed by lake views and lounge chairs, inviting you to swim, soak, and unwind. Walk down to the water's edge to fish from the private dock, float with a drink in hand, or launch your rental boat for a full day of lake adventure.

From slow mornings on the deck to game-filled evenings inside, every detail at A Good Distraction has been curated to help you relax, recharge, and reconnect. This is more than a vacation—it's your next favorite memory in the making.

✨ Come stay awhile. You deserve the distraction. ✨
