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."
