Shady Daze: Waterfront Home w/ Deck, Hot Tub & Lake Views
Welcome to the Shady Daze by AvantStay — your private waterfront retreat on Lake Norman where laid-back luxury meets year-round adventure. Set among the trees in Sherrills Ford, this spacious home was designed for unforgettable group getaways, just a short drive from local marinas, dining, and outdoor attractions like Mountain Creek Park and Lake Norman State Park.
Inside, high ceilings and warm wood tones set the stage for relaxation. The open-concept layout flows from a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances to a bright, comfortable living area perfect for cozy nights or movie marathons. With three bedrooms — including a king room, a queen room, and a bunk room featuring both twin-over-twin and twin-over-full bunks — plus a washer and dryer, you’ll have all the essentials for a stress-free stay.
Head downstairs to the game room, where a pool table, books, and TV await — or step outside to soak in the best of lake life. Whether you're grilling out on the deck, relaxing in the hot tub, paddling out in the canoes, or gathering around the fire pit after a day on the boat or jet ski, this home invites you to slow down and savor every moment.
What people are saying?
"We stayed with my son, daugther-in-law and grandson for a long weekend. The dock, kayak, paddle boards were easily accessible and in very good shape. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked all our meals there. The grounds were beautiful and the deck looking over the water was outstanding. The hot tub came in handy after all kayak paddling and we played billiards for nighttime entertainment. Great place and hope to stay here again."
"10/10 Everything about this property exceeded expectations! The house has such a nostalgic lake house feel, and the backyard was so private and absolutely beautiful. We got lucky with good weather and took advantage of the kayaks and paddleboards provided."
"This house was perfect for our family of 6. It was clean and well maintained. The lakeview is spectacular. This area is very quiet without a ton of boat traffic; just enough to people watch. I cannot say enough about this place. It's stocked with games and water toys. We will be coming back."

Thank you for your review. We’re glad our team was able to respond quickly and resolve the hot tub issue during your stay.
It’s great to hear the situation was taken care of, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
This property was awesome. Had everything you need for a lake vacation. Used the kayaks every morning and the hot tub at night. The dock was large so we rented a boat as well. The back yard was great for the dogs and the fire pit had wood available for nighttime fireside relaxation. I’ll come back.

Our family loved Shady Daze. The home was wonderful inside and out! We had a boat delivered to the brand new dock. They had a tube and paddleboards available for use. House is stocked with all you need for cooking and laundry. Plenty of towels provided also.
