Lake Norman's multi-million-dollar glass mansion is now a vacation rental.
Why it matters: It's the first time the custom-built home, located on the tip of a Lake Norman peninsula in Terrell, N.C., has been available to rent.
Context: The property is managed by vacation rental company Stay Lake Norman, which opened bookings this month.
Catch up quick: The home was built in 2016 by Ted and Beverly Corriher, the Observer reports, who sold it in May 2024 for $4.2 million.
Layout: Spanning 6,283 square feet, the three-story waterfront mansion has panoramic views — due to nearly all of its walls being panes of glass.
- It has six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and sleeps 14 guests.
What to expect: The contemporary-style home comes with luxury features like two fully-stocked kitchens, a game room, a mezzanine bar and a private dock and boathouse.
- Guests can arrange boat and water sport rentals and hire private chefs, meal delivery service and massage therapists.
- It's pet-friendly (with a two-dog allowance).
Yes, but: If you're wondering if onlookers can see inside — no such luck. The windows are tinted blue from the outside.
If you go: Prices to book average around $3,500 per night and can range from $1,200-$6,000, according to Stay Lake Norman COO Caleb Hannon.
- The home has availability beginning mid-September. Check all available dates here.

My thought bubble: I toured the mansion, and its design immediately reminded me of the house from the 2022 film "Glass Onion" — except you only have to drive about 45 minutes from Charlotte instead of booking a flight to Greece.
