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 an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom includes a queen Murphy bed and a sofa bed, offering flexible sleeping arrangements. The third bedroom provides a queen bed, and the fourth bedroom has a full bed for added comfort. Extra guests can make use of the queen sleeper sofa in the living room. 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.

Home Truths: - Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in this home. If undisclosed pets are brought into the home without AvantStay's approval there is a fine of $500 per pet. - A pack-and-play and a high chair are available for use. - No events, group gatherings, or parties are allowed at any AvantStay property under any circumstances. - Due to natural fluctuations, we’re unable to provide specific water depth information at any given time.

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.

The house is located in a quiet cove and provided a relaxing vacation spot. We had an excellent time. The house is close to restaurants and other stores. The host's communication was excellent. Thanks for a great experience.
We enjoyed our stay! The host was easy to contact and responded to questions quickly. It was nice to be able to bring our dog with us, the fenced back yard made it easy to be outside with her. Would love to come back in warmer weather!
We attended a Graduation and needed a place for the family to relax and enjoy each other’s company and connect. It was exactly what I expected and the Host was exceptional!
Perfect for family and friends to enjoy.
The view was amazing too.

Rooms were very clean and a very awesome house to stay at.
We all had the best time here! House was perfect! Clean, beautifully decorated, large enough for 2 families, beautiful views and all the fun you could want on the lake! Kayaks, paddle boards, hot tub overlooking the lake, we enjoyed it all! Communication was also excellent, had a question about the hot tub and had an answer within minutes! 10/10 would recommend!
