Sip, Sip Away by AvantStay | Pool + Hot Tub

Sip, Sip Away is the perfect lakefront house to relax, unwind, and enjoy time with family and friends. This house sleeps 14 guests in 5 bedrooms plus a loft. Enjoy the enclosed hot tub room, perfect for fall and winter getaways!

Let's take a tour of your escape...

At Sip, Sip, Away, we will begin outdoors, where you will likely spend most of your time. The house features a 3/4 acre lot with a 24'x48' saltwater pool with a new water slide! The kiddos and adults will have a great time slipping, sliding, and cannonballing into this spacious and refreshing pool.

Just steps from the pool is a cozy fire pit for everyone to gather, discuss the day's adventures on the lake, and enjoy some s'mores! Outside of the fenced area are pavers to the dock where you'll find fun lake toys, a kayak and a stand up paddle board that can be used to explore and fully enjoy what the lake has to offer. The house is completely fenced in, so don't forget to bring Fido along (pets allowed with approval and pet fee).

Upon entering Sip, Sip, Away, guests are greeted by a welcoming and beautifully decorated foyer that leads into the open living space with high ceilings and glass sliders to the fully covered and furnished deck. The living room is newly decorated with a comfy sectional, 2 swivel chairs, and a large TV, where everyone is sure to gather!

The bright and spacious, fully stocked kitchen has all new appliances, a double oven, a microwave, and a refrigerator. The kitchen has a large island that comfortably seats three. It's the perfect space to enjoy sip, sipping away on your cocktails while the chef of the group is preparing your delicious meals. Off the kitchen is an eat-in kitchen area with a dining table for 8. The perfect spot to eat while catching some beautiful glimpses of the lake!

The main level of the home has four bedrooms: a primary bedroom with a king bed and attached bath; a bunk room with two sets of twin bunk beds that sleep 4, queen bedroom #1, which conveniently shares a bathroom with the bunk room; and finally, a queen bedroom #2 that is surrounded with walls of windows, allowing the natural light of the sun to shine in. The new additional bedroom has 2 queen beds and an attached new bathroom featuring a walk-in shower. These luxurious sleeping areas all feature large plush bedding and pillows for restful sleep, stylish furnishings that give you plenty of room to unpack, and bathrooms that will make you feel like you are in the comfort of your own home. You will feel right at home and have the luxury you need to feel relaxed and pampered. The primary bedroom is particularly stunning with sliding doors that provide direct access to a covered deck that holds a sunroom with an indoor hot tub!

Head upstairs to find a new loft with a queen-sized sleeper sofa and TV. It's not only the perfect space to sit and have some quiet time, but it also provides another space for a guest to comfortably sleep.

Off the back deck is a perfect all-season room featuring a hot tub, a high-top bar table, and a large TV. This room has sliders to the primary bedroom and access to the covered back porch. It's a great way to unwind after a long day on the lake in the hot tub with your favorite game or show on the TV.

Let's head to the garage, which has now been converted into a game room, yet another space for some entertainment and fun! The game room is a great place for some friendly competition. Play a game of ping pong or air hockey! Prefer to be a spectator instead? Take a seat at the bar table and enjoy sipping on a drink & watching the game!

The hot tub and peddle boat were broken
The owner knew the hot tub was broken for weeks and said they couldn’t find the part. The same excuse was used for the boat. Very disappointed that we couldn’t use them.

perfect lake house
The property was perfect for spending time outside. The pool is huge and the outside covered deck was our favorite spot for meals and playing games at night . We brought our boat and the dock was well maintained and covered and about a 20 minute boat ride to a public dock. We stored our boat trailer at a storage place about 12 minutes from the house. It is on the less touristy side of the lake so it is not crowded at all. You have to drive about a half hour to get to shopping and restaurants but worth the drive to have a less busy area to vacation in. Will try and book this house again for sure.

Beautiful place
The biggest challenge we had was no lights on when we arrived and dealing with getting a code since “Avant” computer didn’t assign us one. The agent didn’t speak English well who was assisting and was convinced we were at the wrong house because she had the wrong reservation she was looking at. We stood outside in the dark in cold rain for about 30 minutes trying to get the code. Place was well supplied. They had a complete set of kitchen pots/pans/anything you would need. Propane for the grill. Wood for the fire. I had to replace batteries in their ceiling fans. None of the remotes would change the lights or fan speed. They had a paddle boat. It didn’t work well with a “redneck engineered” rudder, but it was fun none the less. Overall, the home and experience was five star. I just dropped a star because of the check in being difficult and the management company being so “big” to not know which property they were looking at even though I gave my name and reservation number three times. Mostly wanted the owner (if there is one, not just the company) to know.

Beautiful lake location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sip Sip Away ! The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs. The house was equipped with everything you would need. The owners were having a leak problem with the pool causing a pool wide algae situation that kept us from being able to use the pool. There was also a distinct mold/mildew smell from the bathroom right off the kitchen. We just kept it closed and didn’t use it. All in all would stay there again as long as the pool was in working order..

Practically Perfect
The house was spotless. The kitchen had absolutely everything. The bathrooms were great. The pool, slide, hot tub, kayaks, pedal boat, and ping pong table were terrific. The living room furniture was brand new. The response to questions was great... The only downside (hence the practically) was that they did not disclose that there was no window in the 5th bedroom altho it did have 2 doors for egress
