Azalea Retreat- The Lodge by AvantStay | Best View

Azalea Retreat - The Lodge truly offers some of the best views on Lake Norman! With 150 feet of shoreline, every part of this three-story log cabin provides easy access to the water and spectacular lake views. The home features floor-to-ceiling windows along the entire back, complemented by a wrap-around deck that spans both the main and lower levels. This special property was renovated in 2019 with updated kitchen appliances, new countertops, and beautifully remodeled bathrooms on the lower level. The house is also furnished with all-new furniture and linens, ensuring a comfortable and luxurious stay.

The Lodge is a 6-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom, 6,500-square-foot cabin that sleeps up to 22 guests. Situated on a 2-acre lot, the property welcomes you with pathways leading to the private dock, allowing direct access to the water. Guests also enjoy a brand-new communal pool, shared with Azalea Retreat - The Cottage, with designated lounging areas for each house.

As you enter the log cabin, you're greeted by a stunning wood foyer, vaulted wood beam ceilings, and Italian tile-lined walls. Of course, the breathtaking lake views immediately steal the show! The open-concept living space features a two-story living room, kitchen, and dining area, all designed to bring the outdoors in. The living room is furnished with large leather sofas and offers two distinct seating areas. Relax by the custom stone wood fireplace, soak in the views, catch a movie, or enjoy a cozy evening by the fire.

The kitchen, fully renovated with new appliances, boasts a large granite island with bar seating. The dining area, highlighted by a stunning antler chandelier, seats 10 and offers the perfect spot for family meals. A custom-etched glass window with an artistic tree design lets in plenty of natural light, making the kitchen an inviting space for any occasion, from holiday meals to casual family dinners.

On the main level, you’ll find the Master Bedroom, which features its own private two-story fireplace, sliding glass doors leading to the deck, and stunning lake views. The custom closet with built-ins offers ample space for unpacking and unwinding in style.

Upstairs, the second story features a cozy loft area ideal for curling up with a book. This level also has two bedrooms with queen beds and a shared full bathroom. The loft’s landing is the perfect spot to watch Lake Norman’s unforgettable sunsets.

The lower level of Azalea Retreat - The Lodge is a family dream come true. It includes three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, as well as a game room with skeeball, shuffleboard, a custom stone fireplace, a TV with an Xbox, and a large sectional sofa for ultimate comfort. One of the lower-level bedrooms has both a king and a queen bed, its own fireplace, and a fully renovated en suite bathroom with a stand-alone shower and soaking tub. The lakeside bedroom features two built-in full-over-twin bunks and a small seating area with a pull-out sofa sleeper, perfect for a kids' sleepover. This room has access to a full bathroom off the lower-level living room. The final sleeping area on this level offers two queen beds and an attached full bathroom.

The outdoor spaces at Azalea Retreat - The Lodge are nothing short of magical. Both the decks and lower-level patio are equipped with Adirondack chairs, offering the perfect spot to relax by the lake. There's also a large outdoor stone fireplace, where guests can enjoy s’mores and unwind after a day spent on the water. Between The Lodge and The Cottage, just above the lake, you'll find a striking in-ground pool surrounded by an aesthetic stone landscape. Each property has its own access to the pool deck, with plenty of chaise lounges to enjoy the sun and the stunning views of Lake Norman.

The private dock offers all sorts of fun lake activities, including a kayak, a paddleboard, and an assortment of life jackets. Additionally, the shared pickleball court, located between The Lodge and The Cottage, is a fantastic spot to challenge friends or neighbors to a game.

Most beautiful house on the lake!
Truly an unbelievable property. The house is incredible and even the pictures do not do it justice. The pool was luxurious and had great views. The house had everything you could ever need. Shuffleboard, cornholes, pool, Pac-Man gaming system, gaming consoles, multiple living areas, etc. We loved every minute. My only critique is the boat rental (which is optional). We were given the keys to the boat we rented from them nearly halfway through the day when we were told we would have access to it first thing in the morning to get our use of it. That process needs to be streamlined and better managed. Luckily the house made up for it. You won’t regret booking this home. Well worth the money.

Excellent House and Beautiful Location
This was a beautiful home, excellently located on Lake Norman. The house was very clean and spacious, exactly as the pictures depicted. You will not be disappointed. There is more than enough space for at least 20 adult females! We had a Women's Retreat and would definitely use this location again. Easy to locate and near grocery stores if you need anything immediately. Communication was easy. Even got a referral for a pontoon boat rental that was excellent. OVERALL, VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS HOUSE. You won't regret it. The only thing noticed was the heating on the lower level in the bedrooms was a bit uneven, but it didn't inconvenience us so much. Plus the weather this past weekend was much colder than expected I believe!

The property has NO internet capabilities and satellite TV in two rooms. Should have been indicated.
House is nice but mgmt was not forthcoming with lack of satellite service and fact that there was no internet service. Thus smart TVs did not work.

Just Wow
We were looking for a place to celebrate my daughter’s graduation and we hit the jock pot! Originally we were going to pay half of what we spent on the cabin for a small venue where everyone would have to return to their hotels! This allowed us al to spend days celebrating in an absolutely gorgeous cabin with amazing views! It was nice to have a fully stocked kitchen and we even found a baby seat for my nephew who didn’t have one due to traveling! The only small thing that wasn’t perfect was the water didn’t stay hot for showers and baths. Other than that it was an absolutely beautiful place and these memories will last a lifetime!!!
