Butler Bliss by AvantStay | Private Dock + Views

This charming waterfront oasis features 129 feet of shoreline on Lake Norman. Located on a wide, deep cove just minutes from the main channel, this home is perfect for water sports & swimming!

Enjoy an amazing covered synthetic dock with a lift for pontoon rentals (inquire within). The dock is double-decker, which lends itself to numerous seating options. Conveniently located on the dock are all the fun lake toys, including a kayak, a paddle board, and an assortment of life jackets. The outdoor area provides ample space for you and your loved ones to hang out together while still partaking in different activities.

Off the main level sliders is a large deck with multiple seating options for your family and friends, including two tables seating 10 + plus Adirondack chairs. On the deck, you will also find a hot tub to relax and unwind after a busy day on the lake. A few steps en route to the lake is a landing with a stone fire pit to enjoy S'mores and share stories about your lake day adventures (firewood provided). Continue further to find a private beach area fitted with Adirondack chairs just steps from the lake.

Spend your days on the lake & evenings gathered around the lakeside fire pit! As a guest in our home, you will have full free access to corn hole & Connect Four, the ideal toys for getting the adventure going!

Inside, Butler Bliss boasts an open-concept living space featuring a vaulted great room, including a lakeside wall of windows to welcome the outdoors. Natural light flows in, creating an open and airy feel. The living area has new furniture, including a large, comfortable sectional sofa and two oversized chairs for lake views or to watch the game. The living area has a bar with 4 leather stools, a TV, and a wine fridge! It's the perfect place for adult conversations or games!

In the kitchen, you will find stainless steel appliances, granite counters, & a breakfast bar with seating for 4, all with amazing lake views through the windows. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, utensils, cookware, and small appliances to prepare a meal for your entire group. Choose your coffee option: Keurig or drip. When it's family mealtime, the dining area will suffice! With a large glass table that seats 8, it opens to the kitchen and living room.

Don't forget about the screened-in porch with sofa seating for some possible alone time from the group.

This gorgeous home features 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, one recently remodeled into a full bath. A primary bedroom on the main level with an en-suite bath and a separate sleeping area equipped with a bunk bed and full bed will surely please both the adults and kiddos! Upstairs there are three bedrooms and one full bath.

On the upper level, luxurious sleeping areas branch off down the hall, featuring large plush bedding and pillows for a restful sleep. You will be right at home while feeling relaxed and pampered. The bunk room is perfect for the kids with a TV and two sets of bunk beds that sleep 4.

Head up a few more stairs to two more bedrooms and a full bath. One bedroom has a king bed, and the other has 2 queen beds and great lake views.

Great Staycation on the Lake
Had a wonderful time at Butler Bliss! The views from the house are amazing and the outside areas of the house are cozy and relaxing. We enjoyed the hot tub, lake toys, and dock access. Just the right number of rooms for us. Would stay again for sure!

House was very clean and in a great location. Norman lake is wonderful and the family enjoyed swimming at the dock. Wouldn’t recommend for small children with the number/type of steps in the house and grounds. Dishwasher wasn’t working well, maybe filter is clogged but food was just redeposited and the land scape lighting (lower half out to the dock) was not lighting. It would help to have a copy of the quick start guide to understand the controls to the hot tub.

Fantastic fourth
What a great place to stay with a group of friends over the Fourth of July! The check in/out process was easy and straightforward. The boat rental was so accommodating even when we decided the day of check in to rent it for our stay. The house was exactly as expected and so clean. Really awesome property!

Great location and beautiful house!
House is in a great location and overall we had a great time. The stairs can be challenging for little ones and elderly. We were disappointed that the hot tub and the gas fireplace were not working during our stay. When we arrived at 4 pm the cleaning staff was just finishing and might have felt rushed. There were things in the house that was not cleaned, but we stiff had a great time and look forward to going back to Lake Norman.

Great Lake Norman inlet, quiet and peaceful.
The property was fantastic! I invited my siblings and their families from around the country to meet my family there for a vacation. It worked out well. The Charlette airport was only 40 minutes away which made transpiration easy. We brought our boat and spent every day on the Lake. Much better than the ocean, no sand!
