Family Lake House Retreat by AvantStay | Sleeps 28

Welcome to Family Lake House Retreat—a spacious, waterfront haven designed with large families in mind, from great-grandparents to the littlest lake lovers. Located in Mooresville and nestled on the shimmering shores of Lake Norman’s main channel, this 8,000 sq ft property offers everything you need for the ultimate lakeside getaway.

With 9 lakeview bedrooms, 3 full kitchens, 6 full bathrooms, 2 half baths, and an adorable boathouse apartment, there’s space and comfort for everyone—up to 28 guests. Whether you’re gathering for a reunion, celebrating a milestone, or simply enjoying time together, this home offers both room to connect and space to unwind.

Inside, you’ll find an inviting blend of casual luxury and comfort. The main level features a large chef’s kitchen, fully stocked for preparing everything from pancake breakfasts to full holiday feasts. Gather around the breakfast bar (seats 6) or the eat-in nook (seats 8) for casual meals, or dine together in the formal dining room with seating for 8. After dinner, the living room invites you to relax on the oversized leather sectional while taking in stunning lake views or watching a movie on the wall-mounted TV.

Step outside to the expansive covered porch that runs the length of the house—perfect for sipping morning coffee or enjoying evening cocktails. There’s ample seating, a propane grill ready for lakeside cookouts, and front-row views of those unforgettable Lake Norman sunsets.

Downstairs, the fun continues in the game room, fully stocked with air hockey, shuffleboard, and classic video games—a hit for all ages. This level also includes a second full kitchen, a bar area, a TV lounge, and two king bedrooms with en suite baths, offering convenience and privacy.

All together, the retreat features seven king bedrooms, one queen room, and a massive bunk room made just for the kids. The bunk room sleeps 10+, with a twin-over-full bunk, four full beds with trundles, and two daybeds, plus a cozy TV area and gaming setup that’s sure to be their favorite hangout spot.

And then there's the Boathouse Apartment—a beautifully renovated, private gem located right on the dock. This charming space includes its own kitchen, full bath, king bedroom, and cozy living area with a TV. It’s the ultimate peaceful retreat for early risers or honeymooners in the group!

The outdoor space is what truly sets this home apart. Step outside the lower level and find yourself just feet from the lake, with a hot tub, multiple seating areas, and a spacious dock perfect for sunbathing or launching a kayak or paddleboard (both included, along with life jackets). The yard features family favorites like cornhole and giant Connect Four, making it easy to spend your days enjoying the sunshine and each other’s company.

Whether you’re gathered around the grill, sharing stories by the water, or winding down with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the lake, Family Lake House Retreat is the kind of place where memories are made—year after year.

Fantastic house in a beautiful location. Great communication through the whole process. Enough bedrooms for the size of our group. Easily reachable from the airport. Enjoyed some time at the fire pit and even enjoyed some team building with some friendly competition on the arcade games and shuffleboard.

Perfect lake getaway

The home is beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing weekend away with family or friends. The views are stunning, and all of the rooms made for a comfortable and fun stay. The position on the lake itself is extraordinary, and the communication prior and throughout the stay was reliable, quick, and helpful. Would absolutely go back.

A perfect weekend getaway for a group

This house was perfect for our group of 13 adults and 8 children. There was plenty of space for all to have their own space and to hang out in a group. We used the kayaks, fire pit, game room and the hot tub. Such a great house and view!!

Early holiday

House is beautiful, and very comfortable for a large group. Arcade room kept the kids happy, and the hot tub and fire pit were awesome! Plenty of towels, firewood, and all the trash bags and cleaning supplies were well stocked. Management company was super responsive by text to any questions we had. We had a great vacation!

Amazing home

Amazing home, on an amazing location. Our large group found privacy and comfortable meeting areas throughout. The firepit outside by the lake was very especially alluring. Our only request would be to adjust all the lighting in the kitchen areas…bulbs were either out or too bright. Highly recommend!!!

Family Thanksgiving win!

We hosted 22 people at the lake house for Thanksgiving, and it was great! The kids loved the game room (played for hours and hours), the bedrooms and bathrooms were all comfortable, and the family loved the large common areas. We cooked a full thanksgiving meal, and the multiple fridges really made a huge difference. Perhaps best of all, the management company was incredibly responsive and quick to stop by to resolve any issues. Would stay here again!

Exceeded all expectations!

The house was beautiful and clean and perfect for a large group. There were some issues with the air conditioner, and was extremely impressed with how it was managed. They were communicative in finding a quick solution and accommodating in whatever we needed even offering to find a new property. (It was quickly fixed and no problem) the dock was incredible for our two boats and jet skis! Highly recommend!
