Shades of Summer by AvantStay | Gazebo, Dock, View

Welcome to life on Lake Norman! Shades of Summer is a fabulous five-bedroom, three-bathroom house on the shores of Lake Norman. This charming ranch with a walkout basement is situated just off a quiet, tree-lined street in Denver, NC.

The open floor plan on the main level gives you views of the lake from almost every window. The bright, open fully stocked kitchen has a bar with seating for 4 as well as an eat-in kitchen area open to the main living area. The kitchen offers a Keurig and drip coffee maker giving each guest choices to make their morning Joe! The main level has new furnishings with comfy couches, new large TVs, and sliders to a deck with grill, seating, and Adirondack chairs - perfect spots to relax with morning coffee or an adult beverage!

The main level also hosts three bedrooms. The primary bedroom, with a king bed, has sliders to the deck for private lake views and a recently remodeled master bath with a tiled glass shower. The 2 other main-level bedrooms share a full bathroom in the hall. One bedroom boasts a king bed, and the other has a queen. All bedrooms have new wall-mounted TVs!

In the fully finished basement, you will be drawn into a second living area with an air hockey table for young and old to enjoy! Watch the exciting air hockey games at the high-top table. New comfy couches and a wall-mounted TV are also available in the lower-level living area. The lower level has two bedrooms: one with two queens and the other with two twin-over-full bunks, each with its own TV, seating options, and a full bath and laundry room.

Walk out the back to your lakefront oasis! Follow the path to a complete, custom gazebo right beside the water or fish off of the beautifully maintained dock. The gazebo has a new sectional and a small round table and chairs.

The outdoor activities at Shades of Summer are endless, with a fire pit (wood provided), corn hole, and large Connect Four! Get your family or group games going!

There is plenty of dock space to add your own or rented boat for your stay. It's a perfect way to check out all Lake Norman offers. 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.

Very welcoming!
This was the most welcoming home I have stayed in. It was very clean, they provided the basic essentials which was a huge help, and the one level living and entry was key for Grandma. I highly recommend this home.

Beyond Expectations
We were in town for our son's wedding and had booked based on location near my son's house and an estimate of how many people we might need to accommodate. Shades of Summer exceeded all of our expectations! It was incredibly spacious while still having wonderful gathering spaces, the beds were all very comfortable, and the kitchen amazingly well stocked with cookware and dishes/silverware. It was also spotlessly clean and ready for our arrival. Communication with the host was excellent. The worst part was trying to turn onto Hwy 16 at rush hour, but that's a planning issue on our part. I would 100% recommend this home!

Shades of Summer - a lovely home
The week went too fast! The home was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful family reunion. It would have been perfect if we could swim in the lake…and if there was a dresser in the “bunk room.”

Great stay
Our family stayed at this home for a week and celebrated New Year’s Eve. The home was gorgeous and everything was perfect. Communication was great! The coffee pot was broken and they delivered a brand new one the next day! I will definitely stay here again hopefully in the summer so we can utilize the lake!

Great family gathering
The photos didn’t do the property justice. It was spacious and beautifully decorated. Plenty of room to all be together as well as give the kids a break from the adults. Highly recommend this owner and property.
