Our main objective is to provide our customers with a moment to relax and enjoy the view and slow pace of living on the lake. Your comfort and privacy are foremost in our priorities.

The Blue Heron on Lake Norman

Raine and Terry struggled about where to retire and behold it came to them that they wanted to retire right here on Lake Norman. Since neither of them could sit still for long, they determined that a B&B would keep them young in mind and spirit as well as give them an opportunity to meet new people and to stay on the Lake.

So they added a couple of additional doors and streamlined the home maintenance chores with the help of Don Hartsoe Builders (another Hartzog descendent.) They remodeled the kitchen with both Don and Queen City Appliance (thank-you Chip Player) to accommodate preparing a breakfast for guests. Next, they prepared a place for Raine to store her pottery gear (this delayed opening by quite a few months) and arrived at an opening in 2006.

The blue heron that lives in our cove (if development doesn't run her off) is the namesake for the B&B.

Our Business

We want to provide you with an oasis of relaxation as a guest in our home. Raine offers a pottery experience for those who would like to immerse themselves in some North Carolina Clay. Our dock is available for fishermen and local guides are available for your fishing experience.



As members of the Lincolnton - Lincoln County Chamber we extend a note of thanks for the great start we got from contacts we made through them.

Hartzog Pottery

Raine creates functional and artistic pieces from clay. Raine's work can be found in the Sunset Market Gallery in Calabash, NC and other pottery shows and sales in the region. Raine's great great great grandfather was David Hartzog, a prolific Catawba Valley potter. While her work is not in the traditional vane of those Catawba Valley potters, it has clearly evolved as a unique and collectable product.
