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, and an assortment of life jackets.

This home is beautiful and great for family weekend. The three (3) bedrooms on the main floor were perfect for elderly guests with mobility difficulties. Fire pit and games and entire living area on lower level was perfect to give room for the age differences to enjoy their own things to do in their own groups. Bed are very comfortable. Place was very clean. Hope to come back in the warmer weather!

Wish We Could've Stayed Longer!
This place was great! Housed all of us comfortably, plenty of room for a large group. We really enjoyed the outdoor space with the fire pit and corn hole! Wish we had more time there to see what else it had to offer or to experience the lake!

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.”

Perfect halfway spot for reconnecting with a long distance friend we haven’t seen in years! Well maintained and great view. Never been to Lake Norman and it did not disappoint. Our favorite thing about the property was all the on-site games and activities. Would stay here again. And the management was quick to respond if we had questions.

The house was absolutely beautiful. Updated furniture and appliances…..everything we needed! The management company was so accommodating. Our boys made it to the final four of the American legion World Series and we needed to book an extra night, emailed the company at 10:30pm and they got back to me right away and allowed us to extend our reservation. We would definitely stay here again!

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!

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!

Perfect Getaway
This is the perfect getaway for a large group. There were 12 of us. It rained every day but every day the sun came out long enough to go swimming in the lake, paddle boarding, kayaking (that were provided by the owner) and boating. We rented the boat because there is a beautiful pier that made it so easy to board and get off. When it did rain we had the whole downstairs that had the pinball machine & air hockey table that was put to good use. We also played cards, watched movies. We cooked every meal there using the fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, utensils, glassware you name it, it was there. I do want to point out though, the walk down to the pier is a little steeper than it looks only because we had some elderly friends that found it a little trying because there are no handrails for them to hold onto. But this is a wonderful property and we would definitely use this property again.

Nice house. Lots of space. Roku TV in every room (if that matters to you) Two levels of bedrooms. Plenty of room. Very well stocked. Says maximum is 16 people. If you can get them parked, they would be happy there. Huge kitchen that is extremely well stocked. Everything that should be provided inside the house is there. Trash bags, paper towel, silverware, bowls, plates, glasses. Parking is terrible. Do not show up with more than 5 cars. Almost impossible to get in and out of the driveway without vehicle damage of some kind even with one. Giant stones line the "private" paved drive to the driveway, if you miss those, there is a huge ditch at the corner of the driveway. It is deep. Impossible to miss both the boulders AND the ditch. One is impacting your car. Do not think for a minute you will have more than 5 vehicles there. We got hounded when two grandmothers stopped by to see a grand baby. Threats of fines and / or towing if not solved immediately. They are completely serious when they say max 5 cars. Unfortunately, in order to pull in to the driveway anything that would carry all 16 max people in 5 cars, that vehicle is too big to make it in to the driveway. It's unfortunate because it is such a roomy place. The parking is for a one bedroom loft. Zero chance we can risk vehicles with a return stay, which is sad for such a nice property.
