NC/SC Lodging (Lake Norman or Soree)

I'm considering a long weekend family trip (spouse, two kids about 10)
with my new 15" aluminum sport/bass boat down to either North Carolina
or South Carolina. (otherwise I've got to wait another couple of months
for the ice to get off the Canadian waters ).

Can anyone here make some recommendations on lodging in those areas?

We're looking for someplace we can stay as well as launch/dock the boat.
My research indicates that we probably want to end up at Lake Norman,
but the only place I've been able to dig up is a best western at the one
end of the lake.

Thanks!
