Dock, Hot Tub & Kayaks on Lake Norman | Lakeside Gem by AvantStay

Welcome to Lakeside Gem by AvantStay!

A true waterfront haven, this inviting Lake Norman retreat blends modern comfort with timeless lake house charm. Nestled on a quiet cove just minutes from Denver’s restaurants, marinas, and golf courses, Lakeside Gem offers the perfect balance of peaceful relaxation and easy access to local adventure. Spend your days boating, kayaking, or paddleboarding right from your private dock, then return home to unwind in style.

Inside, natural light fills the open-concept living area, where warm wood floors and soft tones create a serene atmosphere. The spacious living room offers plush seating and a large TV with a complimentary YouTube TV package, perfect for movie nights after a day on the lake, while the adjacent dining area and fully equipped kitchen make gathering effortless. Cook meals with ease using modern appliances, dine indoors at the table for six, or take your meals outside to enjoy open-air views of the water.

Four comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms accommodate up to twelve guests. The primary suite features a queen bed and ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, while three additional bedrooms—each with a queen bed, including one with a Murphy setup—offer welcoming spaces for restful nights. Extra guests can spread out comfortably between the game room’s full sleeper sofa and the living room’s queen sleeper sofa. A second full bathroom with a shower/tub combo ensures everyone has space to refresh.

Each corner of this home is designed for connection and comfort. The game room features foosball and a TV for friendly competition, while outside, a covered lounge and lakeside pergola invite you to gather and relax. The firepit—stocked with wood and surrounded by cozy seating—sets the perfect scene for sunset conversations or starlit nights. A private hot tub and direct lake access make outdoor living effortless, and guests are welcome to use the provided kayaks and paddleboard for on-the-water adventure.

In case of an extended power outage, the home is equipped with a backup generator and separate generator panel, ensuring your stay remains comfortable no matter the weather.
