Knotty Pines by AvantStay | Lake Views, Renovated

This house will not disappoint...complete renovations from top to bottom...new kitchens, bathrooms, paint, furnishings and outside landscaping.

Lets take a tour of your retreat...

Upon entering Knotty Pines you are greeted with a unique spiral staircase with an elegant chandelier in the foyer. The open concept of the house allows guests to be greeted with a wall of windows allowing the natural light to enter the home, while also providing amazing lake views. The open concept allows easy access to the living room , dining room, and kitchen areas.

Off the foyer is a formal dining room with seating for 8. The spacious living room is furnished with a large sectional & plenty of chairs for all to gather around to enjoy the lake views and watch TV!

Off the living room is the kitchen which features a table for 6 as well as 4 barstools at the kitchen counter. The fully stocked kitchen is equipped with all new appliances and cooking essentials to whip up a perfect meal for your group to enjoy. The main level, with brand new new flooring and paint throughout, is not complete without the primary bedroom and en suite bath with dual vanities, soaking tub and separate shower.

The upper level is fully renovated with four stylish and comfortable bedrooms. At the top of the stairs you are greeted with a queen bedroom with French doors that boasts all new furniture and bedding with amazing views of the lake. On one end of the upper level you'll find two bedrooms which share a jack and jill bathroom. One bedroom is set up as a bunk room with two twin over full bunk beds, beanbags, a TV and a child size Tee Pee for the kiddos to use their imagination and enjoy. The other bedroom holds a comfortable and cozy king bed. The other side of the upstairs hosts a beautifully decorated large king ensuite bedroom.

The basement has been completely converted to be a convenient and perfect family get-a-way space. Here, you'll find a full kitchen - dishwasher, refrigerator, disposal, microwave and stove. Off the kitchen is a large living room with a large sectional TV and Ping Pong table. Grab a seat and enjoy some good old fashion family competition. There are two bedrooms on the lower level: one with 2 queen beds and another King Suite.

Ladies lake retreat
We were comfortable and enjoyed our stay at the property. It was conveniently supplied with soap in the showers and sinks. Nice toilet paper, paper towels and even towels to use after a lake swim! Stand up paddle board and kayaks were an added bonus! Definitely recommend this property for a seamless getaway.

Perfect Spot for a Family Reunion!!!
Lovely house on Lake Norman, perfect for a recent family reunion weekend! Comfy beds, nicely equipped kitchen, and exceptional customer service from our property manager, who was available immediately with a reply to any question i had. We would definitely consider a return visit to this property!! (PS: Very small nitpick: Only 1 upstairs Bedroom En Suite had a garbage can. The rest of us had to make do w Publix bags. Property could benefit from addition of BR & BA trash receptacles😉...other than that.. PERFECT!!!)

Hot In Heaven
My family had a surprise birthday party for my 80-year-old aunt. Prior to securing this property, this information was shared with management. We were informed that this would be allowed in the day but that a large number wouldn't be allowed to stay all day. At that point, I rented a 2nd home around the corner which most of us stayed after the celebration. It was very Hot in the home. HVAC was called and we were told that the unit wasn't put together properly and that some vents were not connected. He was going to ask management to bring in portable fans. After contacting management, we were told that they were informed that doors, and windows were opened and we had more people than allowed which is why it was so hot. This was not true. I follow all rules given and even got permission to have an event during the day. The house was Beautiful. Not the cleanest upon check-in but I am on the Advisory board of a Travel Agency and the way that our concerns we met with excuses is unacceptable.

Great house that comfortably accommodates large groups
We had a group of 14 stay for a long weekend. Two people brought boats so we were able to enjoy the lake without a boat rental. The house was immaculate and very modern. Location-wise, it’s a bit out of the way (by road of course, there’s a lot within boating distance), but we knew this when renting as a few of us are from the Lake Norman area. Overall, everything was great and we may choose to stay again for our next annual trip.

Impressive Large Lake Home - we loved it!
We had a friends reunion in this home at Lake Norman including 4 families with teens ranging in age from 13 to 19. Home was large and the perfect size for our group of 14. All the teens stayed in the basement & loved the kitchen & ping pong table. We loved the lake toys (paddle board and 2 kayaks) and we rented the very nice (Bentley) pontoon boat for 3 days. Morgan Allen with Lakecations was very pleasant and excellent to work with.

Family gem on the lake
This home was a great getaway for family meeting from four states. The calm creek/slough behind the house made you feel far away from everything. We loved the little beach, swimming, boating, kayaking and boarding on the lake. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed. The remodeling was beautfiul and comfortable. We loved the area and hope to return. -fantastic property-

Everything you need to take it easy
This house was really amazing and accommodating. I have stayed in a lot of VRBO type homes and this one stood out from the rest. The home looked beautiful in the pictures and surprised us all when it was even better in person. You can not beat the amount of bathrooms the house had. It had everything we needed, even the little things cooking ware, sponges, hand soap. The kayaks, paddle board, dock, little private beach suited everyone's needs for relaxation. The provided firewood was so nice. The smart TVs automatically signing out of your accts after your stay, just pure accommodations. Communication with the property manager was so quick and they were so pleasant. Check out was a breeze!!! We had a wide range of ages and everyone was happy. I can't imagine someone being unhappy with there stay at Knotty Pines.
