Home Truths:
- This home allows up to 2 pets for a fee; undisclosed pets brought without AvantStay’s approval may result in a $500 fine per pet.
- Due to natural fluctuations, we’re unable to provide specific water depth information at any given time. The majority of docks in this area are generally suitable for most average-sized pontoons and ski boats. However, since boat drafts can vary, guests are encouraged to refer to Lake Norman nautical charts, GPS systems, and depth maps—and rely on their own knowledge of their vessel’s specifications—to ensure safe navigation.
- No events, group gatherings, or parties are allowed at any AvantStay property under any circumstances.

Parking Details:
- Ample parking in the driveway.

Relaxed bday/weekend get

Loved it...especially the scenery and backyard set up. Everyone who came was impressed with view how nice the property was. It was so relaxing, no one was ready to leave! The only thing I would say is that the dock was full of webs, i would probably try to knock off as much as possible if it were my property before guest arrived. Other than that, we were satisfied

House was great. Plenty of kitchen pans, pots, griddle food processor, etcetera. Fire pit was even prepped. We caught a bunch of bass (brought our own poles). We kayaked a bunch. The kayak seats need fixed, but they are usable. The setting was perfect… great view of the lake, stars under the fire, watched the moon in the hot tub, even saw an eagle dive and get a fish as we were having coffee on the deck! House was huge but cozy. We had a family of five with older kids and it could not have been more comfortable and spacy. If I absolutely had to give some feedback… pleas communicate there is a house next door that overlooks the fire pit area, but it is still private and can employ the yard. We were lucky that no one was at the house next door, but seems like it would still be private if they were home. The new house just wasn’t shown in any pictures. Other than that, the house, property, communication, views, lake access, dock, rooms, everything was perfect. Best rental we’ve been at!

Thank you for such an incredible and detailed review—we’re thrilled to hear how much you and your family enjoyed your stay. It sounds like you made the most of everything, from the lake and kayaks to the fire pit, hot tub, and even some amazing wildlife moments. We’re so glad the home felt both spacious and cozy for your group. We really appreciate your helpful feedback as well. We’ll take a look at the kayak seats to make sure they’re fully up to standard, and we understand your note about the neighboring home—we’ll review how we can better set expectations in the listing while still reflecting the privacy of the space. Thank you again for staying with us and for your thoughtful insights—it truly means a lot. We’d love to host you and your family again anytime!

The kitchen had everything we needed except needed a large boiler pot for Frogmore Stew. The ice machine was overheating but we still had ice. The lake view was spectacular. The beds were comfy. We had the place to ourselves until Sat. The people next door were partying so it ruined our outside ambiance for dinner. We stayed inside. Every other night we had peace and quiet. We appreciated the quick response to adding curtains to the dorm room and attending to the bathroom sink issue.

Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the spectacular lake view and found the beds comfortable. We appreciate you letting us know about the kitchen and ice machine, and we’re happy we could quickly address the curtains and bathroom sink. Sorry to hear the noise from next door disrupted your dinner—peace is important, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope to have the chance to provide an even better stay for you in the future.

Our stay on Lake Norman was absolutely wonderful! The house was just what we wanted- beautiful, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all our meals, the beds were comfortable and the views and outdoor areas were truly breathtaking!! We couldn't wait to wake up every morning and head outside to take it all in! We especially appreciated that we were able to bring our family dogs along- although you never would have guessed it was a "pets allowed" home, because everything was so clean. Our family will always look back on this trip with very fond memories! Thank you so much!

What a heartfelt review—thank you for sharing it! We're absolutely thrilled your time on Lake Norman was everything you hoped for, from the spacious, comfortable home and well-equipped kitchen to those breathtaking views you couldn't wait to wake up to each morning. We especially love hearing that your family dogs could come along and that the home still felt impeccably clean—that means our team got it just right. Knowing your family will look back on this trip with such fond memories is the greatest compliment we could receive. We'd be honored to welcome you all back—two and four-legged family members alike—anytime!
