A Good Distraction

A Good Distraction – Lakefront Escape with Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room & Stunning Views
Lake Norman | Sleeps 16 | 5 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms
Pet-Friendly | Private Pool & Hot Tub | Game Room & Arcade | Fire Pit & Outdoor Fireplace | Private Dock

Welcome to A Good Distraction, your new favorite 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 family reunion, a multi-generational vacation, or a getaway with friends, this beautiful lakefront home was made for connection, relaxation, and lasting memories.

Step inside and you’ll immediately feel at home in the bright, airy main living space. Gleaming hardwood floors and an open-concept layout create a warm and welcoming vibe, while the recently remodeled chef’s kitchen stands ready for anything from casual breakfasts to full-on family feasts. This thoughtfully stocked space includes everything you need to prepare meals, shake up cocktails at the wet bar, or simply sip coffee while gazing out at the water. There’s plenty of room to gather at 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 offer the perfect place to unwind after a day in the sun.

Upstairs, the serene primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a king bed, lake views, a massive walk-in closet (complete with crib and rocker), and a spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub overlooking the backyard. Another king bedroom is located on this floor as well, with access to a full hallway bathroom nearby.

Downstairs is where the fun really starts. The lower level features another comfortable living area with a big-screen TV, sectional sofa, and retro arcade games for nostalgic entertainment. The sleeping arrangements downstairs 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—ideal for kids' sleepovers and late-night laughs.

The garage has been transformed into a vibrant game room, ready for friendly competition with ping pong, pool, skee ball, air hockey, and even card games at the game table. Multiple TVs ensure you won’t miss the big game, even while you’re playing one.

Step outside and discover your own private outdoor oasis. Multiple decks, both upper and lower, are furnished for lounging, dining, and enjoying Lake Norman’s beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Fire up the outdoor kitchen for summertime grilling, then gather in the evenings by the fire pit, the fireplace, or the cozy fire table—there’s a perfect spot for every kind of night.

The private pool and hot tub are framed by lake views and loungers, inviting you to soak, swim, and savor the peaceful surroundings. 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 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.
