Stay Awhile by AvantStay | Lakefront + Pool, Dock

Stay Awhile is truly a home you won't want to leave! This great lakefront house sleeps 16 on the shores of Lake Norman with a private pool, dock bar, basketball hoop and fire pit. Pets considered with a fee, please inquire.

This mid-century home boasts 3600 square feet with five bedrooms and four full baths to sleep 16! The grounds and outdoor spaces give guests ample opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and escape the stress of urban life without leaving behind any of the luxuries.

Step through the double door entry way into a large foyer with a closet and storage bench. You will find the tile flooring and padded seating area a warm greeting as you enter your retreat. As you walk down the hall, there is a large laundry area and full bath with a new glass shower prior to entering the kitchen and built-in breakfast nook.

The bright kitchen is fully equipped to handle any occasion, whether it's an elaborate holiday feast or simply feeding a growing family. Keep the kitchen stocked with all their favorite drinks and snacks because you have all the space you need. The kitchen's built in table offers the perfect space for your everyday meals, quick snacks, and breakfasts. The adjacent dining room is great for sit-down family style dinners and is elegantly furnished, making it the perfect setting for even the fanciest occasions.

Off of the dining room are two large gathering rooms. The game room has large windows with great deep channel views of the lake and pool while you play billiards. There is a bar area and built-in seats for guests to sit and watch. Under the bar is a mini-fridge to stock your favorite beverages, adult and children alike. The adjacent living room provides a large sectional with seating for 8 to enjoy the 76" smart tv as well as Bluetooth speakers to enjoy your jams!

On the main level there are two bedrooms. There's a spacious lower master with large windows that allow you to wake up to the sunrise over the pool and lake. The ensuite bath features dual sinks and a large, walk in shower with a glass door. Behind a glass door you will then find a kid's retreat. This bunk room hosts three sets of built-in bunks. The kids will have a blast sleeping there and be able to enjoy movies and games in the hidden kid's TV area with a queen sleeper sofa. Perfect for a kid's sleepover!

If you head upstairs there are three well-appointed bedrooms and two full baths. On one side of the upper level is a second master with en-suite bath including a steam shower, large walk-in whirlpool tub and heated floors. The other side of the upper level provides two more bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with 2 queen beds. All bedrooms have 60" flat screen TVs. A hall bathroom sits between them with a full tub, shower and dual sinks.

The outside of Stay Awhile is an entertainer's dream! Multi-level decking allows the whole family to spread out and enjoy all the activities, including a fire pit, corn hole, and Connect Four. Enjoy morning coffee on the covered porch sectional as the sun rises over the lake. Down a few steps is a propane grill adjacent to a large U shaped Tiki bar complete with stools, TV, and a fridge. Many evenings can be spent with family and friends at the bar!

One of the few Lake Norman rental properties with a salt water pool, this home is sure to be a hit with the family. Your family can stay warm and recap the day's fun over classic s'mores at the poolside fire pit (firewood provided). The salt water pool is a great addition to this area as you can enjoy the sun from your chaise lounge while kiddos swim nearby.

Next is the dock, which has a pontoon available to rent! Conveniently located on the dock are all of the fun lake toys which include: a kayak, a paddle board, and an assortment of life jackets.

The whole property is on the water's edge, which of course, is complete with its own private dock. Once you enter Stay Awhile, you won't want to leave! Inquire about the 2020 Bentley Pontoon Boat available to rent.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

This house was perfect for our family. It was our second time staying at this house and we are already planning our trip back. Very private quiet dock section that is safe for kids to play in the lake. Kids love to paddle board and kayak and go tubing on the boat. It was easy to rent the boat that came with the house and used sun side rentals for some other lake fun items!

Great Getaway!

My friends and I loved this property. There were 10 of us and we never felt cramped for space. The owners thought of everything. Plenty of towels, toiletries, fire wood, gas connections for the grills, ice, you name it. There was ample parking and close proximity to a grocery store. If you planning to stay in the Lake Norman area and have a nice size group, this place is a must! 5 stars all around from me.

Great space!

The sleeping arrangements were perfect for my whole family; we had 14 all together, 8 adults and 6 kids. The bunk room was so fun for the kids! The kitchen is well-stocked, and having two refrigerators is key. The low cleanliness score is because of the pool. It wasn’t properly opened, so it was dirty and ended up green while we were there. That part was disappointing. Otherwise, assuming this has been addressed, it’s a wonderful property!

Very nice location, good amenities

The location and backyard amenities make this house very desirable. Great space for entertaining or larger groups. Plenty of TVs, pool toys, fridge space. You are able to communicate with a property manager at anytime through text which was helpful. One thing that stood out was the general wear and tear on the house; I understand it is meant as a rental so you furnish and utilize it accordingly but some lights and fans didnt work, multiple things were held together with zip ties, pool was dirty. For the prices charged I think items should be fixed/replaced when broken.

Great house and spot for a family vacation

Our 2 daughters found this wonderful house that met our budget and fit our needs - large enough for our family, on a lake with a pool and able to rent for less than a week. Loved being able to rent pontoon through owner, pool table for adults & teens and 2 kayaks and paddle board and corn hole. We believe we left the house very clean and neat. All trash emptied and taken to cans, towels by washer and beds stripped and sheets left at on floor in rooms per instructions.

Nice property

Beautiful property with great views of the lake. The family had a great time! The A/C struggled to keep the home cool on extremely hot days, and the grill/smoker was broken and not replaced adequately for the price of the rental. Consider altering pool treatments to be at times that do not disrupt the renter’s experience. Overall a positive and memorable experience.

Long Weekend

This is a nice property in a great location - a nice part of the lake close to several marinas, groceries and other suburban essentials, and also close to Davidson. The property manager does a great job communicating and the check in process was great. Having a pool and a pontoon boat available on the property made the trip a lot of fun. The property is a little worn and could use some TLC (and a little more cookware) but I wouldn't let that discourage you from staying here.

Nice Lakefront property

This was our annual family vacation and the house provided plenty of room for four family’s and 4 kids all under 5 years of age. Plenty of room to roam inside with a comfy living room pit and big screen TV. All the bedrooms were very comfortable and they supplied plenty of towels. The kitchen was a little small and had pretty much everything needed however I would recommend adding some pots and pans. The salt water pool was clean and refreshing but it is a diving pool so the shallow end drops off to the deep end pretty quickly. There were also only two lounging chairs but plenty of brand new Adirondack seats around the fire pit. (Plenty of wood on site too!) We also rented the new pontoon boat for the week which was nice to have it docked right by the house for quick boat trips. This is a nice home and good location but a little TLC would go a long way in making it an even greater place!
