Booking a week or even just a couple of nights at Charlotte, North Carolina, usually is traced to one thing - football. So the misconception then is that the only draw of this city is the Panthers Stadium. Little do people know about the various attractions found in this city that made Charlotte known for something other than sports-related events. This caused vacation attractions to rake in the guest bookings even outside the month of July. Skating rinks found by Kate’s at Gastonia and Indian Trail made them memorable date places. Or if you’re into touring breweries, Charlotte is the best place to try that activity out. Who knows if you stumble upon a “beer fitness” program in the city? (It’s an actual thing here.) Scroll down to check out which vacation rentals in Charlotte, North Carolina, suit your needs.
1. Luxurious apartment (from USD 105)
A luxurious weekend is possible the moment you see the option handed out to you here at this one-bedroom apartment at Dilworth. Convenience and luxury need not be options where you have to forego one in favor of the other. Why not both? Enjoy nearby amenities like parks, restaurants and medical centers without having to stay at a hotel further away from this side of Charlotte. And since the host, Kyle, anticipates some last-minute changes like a “plus one” an extra air mattress is ready at your disposal for the extra bed in this unit. Just a heads up though - bringing over the kids would be fine as long as they are not infants as this unit is not baby-proof.

3. Elegant apartment near Panthers Stadium (from USD 50)
One of the top-rated Airbnb units in Charlotte, much of the memorable experience is attributed to its excellent host, Liz. She keeps this place clean, giving it a competitive edge among units out for rent in this city. It is one of those units near Panther Stadium constantly in demand for being close to everything memorable in the Southend. Some previous occupants admitted that the main reason they went for this unit is that it’s practically just a short walk away from that stadium. Parking space is for free, good for one vehicle in case you’re driving to Charlotte. And an extra air mattress is in store for last minute companions. Booking is highly recommended for at least two nights depending on dates available for you.

9. Apartment with an amazing view
Sometimes the unit itself becomes the leisure destination in itself. Or at least a good thing to look forward to after a long day at your first business conference. So having dinner under the stars becomes possible because you just booked yourself at a one-bedroom unit with a view of the skies. Reading your favorite paperback or playing the latest mobile game just got interesting in case you don’t have a last minute companion to spend the night with in this unit. Otherwise, feel free to bring your dog. It’s one of the few pet-friendly units around. So booking this early helps in getting the best place possible for a couple of nights in Charlotte.

Lots to do in Charlotte
Charlotte may owe much of its reputation to American football, but folks who had been there realized how there is so much to do in the area during the off-peak season like the skating rinks and the brewery tours that even recommend some fitness programs. It’s a thing and it says a lot about a community that will not preach for you to curb your liquor but will recommend ways to manage your intake. Still, book as early as possible to get the best dates close to watching your own team face the Panthers. Cheer on as Charlotte cheers you up with these rentals worth your time and money.
