Reviews
Frank
Sunset on Ballycastle is an amazing property. The HUGE pool overlooking Lake Norman is one of a kind and our large group enjoyed lounging by the pool and relaxing. The property itself is also HUGE, with over six distinct sleeping rooms including a very cool bunk room that sleeps six. There was plenty of room for our large crew of 15. We also had another group of friends stay in the Chasestone property, which is located a few doors down the street and made it very easy for our crews to go back and forth.
