10/10 definitely recommend! This was one of the best rentals I have ever stayed in. I was greeted with a sweet gesture congratulating my husband and I on our anniversary. The property was absolutely beautiful and had everything thing you needed. Tammy and her team were amazing, they were responsive, attentive and very knowledgeable. Everything we wanted to do was nearby as there was endless things to do. I say take notes other rentals (airbnbs) this is what is a vacation should be like.

US National Whitewater Center
I highly recommend at least one day at The Whitewater Center. It’s 12 miles from the Goat Island Getaway and full of things to do. The NWC is comprised of over 1,300 acres of protected land offering 50 miles of trail and access to the Catawba River and Long Creek, whitewater rafting, canoeing, kayaking, rappelling, rock climbing & more. Dont forget to pack your swimsuit, hiking shoes and a change of clothes. You may want to take advantage of a concert or eat in one of the restaurants around the facitlity.

About Us
Luxury Modern Living with a Small Town Feel
Welcome to Goat Island Getaway! I am your host, Tammy. I am from Daisy, Georgia and moved to North Carolina in 1994 to work as a reporter for a local television station. I met my husband Jim in Charlotte; we moved to Cramerton in 1997. We fell in love with ALL the area has to offer and decided this is where we wanted to raise our family. I served as a commissioner for Cramerton for 8 years and played an integral part in developing Goat Island, hence the name of our short term rentals. This Duplex has two Suites available to rent (The Billy Suite & The Nanny Suite)
I intend to be the best host I can and give my guests the experience I’d expect if I were the one traveling. I want this stay to be more than a place to rest your head. I want it be an experience you’ll be talking about for years to come!
You don’t have to travel all the way to Charlotte to have a great time. Wake up, pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy it our oversized deck or walk to our local coffee shop Floyd & Blackies and grab yourself some breakfast. Then take advantage of our complimentary kayaks, float down the South Fork or paddle up river to the McAdenville waterfalls! If fun on land is more your speed you’ll want to jump on our bikes! Ride just down the street to Cramerton’s famous Goat Island Park with an 18 hole frisbee disc golf course, playgrounds, fishing pier, outdoor corn hole and ping pong. These are just some of the fun activities you can take advantage of while you are there! Forgot your corn hole bags, ping pong paddles or frisbee discs? Well, we’ve got that for you to. When you stay at Goat Island Getaway you also get a VIP pass to enjoy the amenities right across the street at the Cramerton Rec Department. They have a swimming pool, weight and game rooms and an open gym to shoot some hoops. What more could you ask for?
We live in a charming mill town just minutes from the National Whitewater Center, Crowders Mountain State Park, Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, the Kings Mountain Casino and of course Charlotte, North Carolina.
Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to improve your experience at Goat Island Getaway. And please, enjoy your stay and make beautiful, unforgettable memories.
Peace and happy travels.
Tammy and Jim Lawrence , Your Hosts

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Goat Island Getaway! The home has been completely remodeled and updated and is bright, airy, open and beautiful! The decor and the details are incredible – they truly thought of everything. The beds were so comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed from a Keurig to pots and pans. The front deck is large and so well appointed that we spent a lot of time outside! We will definitely be coming back for another visit!
A Must Visit! Definitely a 10! The Goat Island Getaway was one of the best AirBNB’s I have ever stayed in. I felt like I was in a Ritz Carlton.
The rental was the most accommodating and relaxing stay in a long time. You can’t beat the small town feel and the proximity to Charlotte. It truly is a Getaway.
Tammy & Jim have done a great job.
We were the first family to stay in The Nanny Suite and it was magnificent. The beds were terrific, showers were like a rain forest and the fireplace, so warming. It can’t get better than this! We loved it!
