Whitetail Cove by AvantStay | Lakefront w/ Pool + Private Dock | Sleeps 20

Spend your summer vacation with friends and family at Whitetail Cove! This 2-level home has plenty of space for large groups, sleeping 20!

The main level features a large living room with a sectional, chair, and TV to catch a game. Adjacent to the living room is the formal dining room with a large farm table seating 12 with two large benches! All guests will enjoy the large, fully stocked kitchen to prep all your group meals. If you need to feed the kiddos while cooking, there is a table in the kitchen seating 6.

Off the kitchen is one of two sun rooms with a bistro table for 4 and a couch. This is the perfect location for your morning joe or evening adult beverage.

There is one bedroom on the main level. The primary ensuite features a king bed. The sunroom is off the primary and has chairs, a love seat, and a bistro table for two, overlooking the pool and lake!

The office has a pull-out queen sofa that sleeps two more. A half bath and laundry room round out the main level.

The lower level features 5 bedrooms with 4.5 bathrooms and a second kitchen, bar & rec room. There are plenty of options for fun or relaxation on the lower level. The bar/pub room is perfect for evening activities since it's right off the pool deck. This space has seating for 4 at the bar with a high top table featuring an additional 4 seats, all with great views of the TV. The second kitchen is perfect for prepping meals to eat outside - a fully stocked kitchen with all appliances and a tall table with 8 seats.

The rec room has three different areas for entertainment: the pool table with a ping-pong topper, foosball, and a card table. In the middle are two couches, and the third area has a large Lazy Boy couch with a TV. All areas are great for your whole group, with plenty of space to spread out!

In the five bedrooms on the lower level, we are first greeted with a bunk room. The bunk room has two twin over full bunk beds, a half bath, and a laundry room. The remaining rooms are all en suites. There is a queen bedroom, a bedroom with two queen beds, and a king suite. One last bedroom, the lower level primary, features a king with a twin daybed and trundle sleeping four.

The house is fully stocked and ready for your group of 20 to sleep comfortably, but we have saved the best for last—outside. The large dock with a swimming platform and spacious seating area is a great way to spend the day. Oh, wait...maybe the brand new pool is where you want to be while they are boating on the lake or biking along the trails of Lake Norman State Park, which is right down the street!

Fabulous family vacation
We had a wonderful stay. The house had all of the rooms we needed (and then some!) and the dock and pool were terrific. The property manager, Katie, was incredibly responsive the few times we needed to ask a question or needed something in the kitchen. We would rent from her again and hope to do so in the near future.

Beautiful, well-appointed house for our 14-person family reunion. Made use of the lower level game room as the weather didn’t cooperate. We had a lot of fun with tons of space to relax. Great kitchen and huge dining table for us all to share meals together. Pool was wonderful.

Thanksgiving Break 2020
In the midst of the world being in uproar from the pandemic and recent election this was a much needed getaway. The house is spectacular and perfect for a family to retreat and just simply enjoy each other. From having 2 kitchens to prepare a variety of dishes to the game room for family fun, my family enjoyed every aspect of the property. My family and I will definitely book here again and highly recommend to everyone.

Thanksgiving gathering
This property was large enough to accommodate my family of 23 for our Thanksgiving gathering. My children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren really enjoyed the lake. They were able to fish and enjoy the outdoor. The house was amazing and we had a wonderful time. The only downside was the heat. We can’t get the house warm enough and lots of the kids got cold and running noses. But overall we had a wonderful thanksgiving together.

Excellent home for a family vacation!
We had a great time at this home for our family vacation this year! The pool, dock and house were all as advertised and expected, really clean and very nice! Plenty of space that you aren’t living on top of each other. The only issue we found was some water pressure issues, but nothing that impeded our stay in anyway. Katie, the property manager, was very responsive and helpful as well. We had a great time and will definitely come again!

Perfect Lake Escape
We just returned from a glorious week at Lake Norman with our 2 children and 2 other families. The house was more than spacious and had plenty of living and play space for everyone! This property is the best! We loved the beautiful pool on the property and the views of the lake right behind it. It was so relaxing and quiet in the surroundings since it’s so close to the state park. It felt appropriate to disconnect w technology and embrace the treasures of lake living. The house was well-equipped with kayaks, towels, pool toys and anything else we needed for Lake fun. We were able to rent a pontoon and hang out at the lake all day, every day. We loved our stay here and would gladly stay again if the opportunity presented itself! Thank you for the memories!

Amazing house on the water
The pictures do not even do this house justice! Me and my extended family of 19 stayed here for a week to celebrate my Dad’s 80th birthday. I have to first compliment the property manager, Katie. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. She even surprised us with decorations and little gifts for my dads birthday! That personal touch was so warm and welcoming. The house was clean with more than enough space for all of us. There were plenty of bathrooms and 2 laundry rooms. The master suite was unbelievable with a huge room, huge bathroom and walk in closet and a sun room facing the lake. We loved having coffee in the morning in the sunroom off the kitchen with panoramic views of the lake. There were kayaks that we enjoyed taking out during the day. We spent a few nights on the dock around the fire pit roasting marshmallows. The pool was clean and the kids loved running from the pool to the dock to jump off and play on the water trampoline. Having the 2 kitchens also made storage of cold things and cooking dinners for 20 people much easier. The dock is large enough to rent your own boat , which we did along with 2 jet skis. Plenty of space. There is also a large grill by the pool and enough chairs for everyone. There are 2 living rooms with big tvs in case everyone doesn’t agree on the same show :) I cant say enough about this home. We had an amazing time and we will be back!

Great location on the lake & some constructive criticism
My overall impression of this property is that it needs some money put back into it. It needs a thorough deep clean, new paint, more cookware in both kitchens and a dumpster or more trash cans as they fill quickly in a house that sleeps 20. We arrived to full trash cans from renters before us and hadn't realized that you are expected to take garbage up to the road for trash day. So, we are being charged $150.00 for our trash as well as the previous renters trash. Also, the bunk room (sleeps 4) has a half bath attached but no shower. Would have been helpful to have another shower available as we had 17 people. Also, there is a second washer/dryer hook up but no 2nd washer/dryer. Seems like a small investment to make. Upon check out you are expected to have all beach towels laundered and as many bath towels as you can and start another load of bath towels before you finally depart. That time in the morning while you're packing up to leave should be spent trying to get some of your personal laundry finished, not the home owners which should be the job of the cleaning crew. We were surprised by this and have never been expected to do that in many other vacation homes that we have rented. The ladder on the dock is coming detached from the dock and poses a safety hazard. The owners control your thermostats digitally, so the first few nights were spent trying to sleep in uncomfortable heat. The master (upstairs) was almost impossible to get cool and has no ceiling fan. You are watched by security cameras in the front and back of the house. We felt like that was a major invasion of privacy. Communication with Katie in the beginning was prompt and pleasant but as the week went on and problems arose (house not ready for check-in, no running water on day 2, told she would take the trash to the road and she didn't, asked to move vehicles off the lawn and they were not moved promptly enough for her) she became easily agitated and rude. I would never recommend this house but I definitely recommend Lake Norman.

Book Cautiously
We just finished our stay at the Wildlife Retreat and I have to say that the vacation itself was a very relaxing week, but as I always read reviews prior to booking a rental, I wanted to return the favor to future renters of what to be aware of prior to booking. 1. It really is a wildlife retreat! We had encounters with quite a few forms of wildlife at the retreat. We all know that when we rent lakefront locations, the best part is sitting on the dock enjoying the lake. Well, we had plenty of friends join us every night, namely the spiders and the ants! We were even blessed to be joined by a local dock mouse a few of the nights! We also had a nice visit from an unidentified creature on our first night in one of the downstairs bedrooms, still don't know what it was, but it ran pretty fast! 2. WIFI -let's say WI not Find a better place to put a router. As most of the group still had business to conduct and classes to attend, we were hard-pressed to find ANYWHERE in the house to get a good signal! The Property Manager told us to try to sunroom, well let me tell you, LOTS OF SUN, VERY LITTLE ROOM and very little service! 3. Garbage Hints if you so dare to rent! MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE TOO MUCH GARBAGE AFTER TUESDAY NIGHT! If I would have known that I would be charged for having too much garbage after first garbage pickup on Tuesday, I would have made sure I went on a hunger strike from Wednesday to Saturday. Our handy property instruction book instructed us to bring out the trash on Tuesday night, but NOT Saturday! So buyer beware, BRING TRASH OUT ON SATURDAY so you don't get charged an additional fee 4. Before you get into your swimsuit or hop on the boat, TAKE PHOTOS OF EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE because if you move a trash can or a pillow and don't return it to the SAME EXACT PLACE - MORE money goes into the owner's pocket! 5. Propane is key to run the grill and fire pit - word to the wise, make sure that each tank is full, or you will be juggling like a circus clown trying to use the firepit/grill! The property manager is great at delivering propane, but when you have a half-melted marshmallow waiting for its bed of chocolate and graham cracker, it's kind of sad! 6. Adirondack Chairs on the dock Are AWESOME! I hope that everyone else is happy with them since we left them there for the next guest and weren't even thanked for them. Take heed when renting this house, there will most likely be unwarranted fees when you leave.

Beautiful large home on the water
We loved our stay in Troutman! This home is way larger than it looks and has space for everyone. There are two large kitchens that are well stocked. We enjoyed grilling and hanging out by the water. We also enjoyed the kayaks. The only issue we had was the power being out for 7 hours which in turn meant we had no water due to the pump system.

A Gem on Lake Norman
This is a wonderful property on Lake Norman. The house accommodated a large family very easily. There was plenty for us to do including a very nice pool, a neighboring state park, and of course a beautiful lake. We use the company Lake effects for our boat and jet ski rental. They were great. They dropped off and picked up a boat that was perfect for group. The house is well kept and has plenty of room for cooking, sleeping, and indoor activities. Great communication with the property manager. Would love to stay there again!
