About this property

Whitetail Cove by AvantStay | Lakefront w/ Pool + Private Dock | Sleeps 20

Spend your summer vacation with friends and family at Whitetail Cove! This 2-level home has plenty of space for large groups, sleeping 20!

The main level features a large living room with a sectional, chair, and TV to catch a game. Adjacent to the living room is the formal dining room with a large farm table seating 12 with two large benches! All guests will enjoy the large, fully stocked kitchen to prep all your group meals. If you need to feed the kiddos while cooking, there is a table in the kitchen seating 6.

Off the kitchen is one of two sun rooms with a bistro table for 4 and a couch. This is the perfect location for your morning joe or evening adult beverage.

There is one bedroom on the main level. The primary ensuite features a king bed. The sunroom is off the primary and has chairs, a love seat, and a bistro table for two, overlooking the pool and lake!

The office has a pull-out queen sofa that sleeps two more. A half bath and laundry room round out the main level.

The lower level features 5 bedrooms with 4.5 bathrooms and a second kitchen, bar & rec room. There are plenty of options for fun or relaxation on the lower level. The bar/pub room is perfect for evening activities since it's right off the pool deck. This space has seating for 4 at the bar with a high top table featuring an additional 4 seats, all with great views of the TV. The second kitchen is perfect for prepping meals to eat outside - a fully stocked kitchen with all appliances and a tall table with 8 seats.

The rec room has three different areas for entertainment: the pool table with a ping-pong topper, foosball, and a card table. In the middle are two couches, and the third area has a large Lazy Boy couch with a TV. All areas are great for your whole group, with plenty of space to spread out!

In the five bedrooms on the lower level, we are first greeted with a bunk room. The bunk room has two twin over full bunk beds, a half bath, and a laundry room. The remaining rooms are all en suites. There is a queen bedroom, a bedroom with two queen beds, and a king suite. One last bedroom, the lower level primary, features a king with a twin daybed and trundle sleeping four.

The house is fully stocked and ready for your group of 20 to sleep comfortably, but we have saved the best for last—outside. The large dock with a swimming platform and spacious seating area is a great way to spend the day. Oh, wait...maybe the brand new pool is where you want to be while they are boating on the lake or biking along the trails of Lake Norman State Park, which is right down the street!

Beautiful large home on the water

We loved our stay in Troutman! This home is way larger than it looks and has space for everyone. There are two large kitchens that are well stocked. We enjoyed grilling and hanging out by the water. We also enjoyed the kayaks. The only issue we had was the power being out for 7 hours which in turn meant we had no water due to the pump system.

Perfect Girls Weekend

We stayed at the property for a last minute girls weekend. The house is beautiful and perfect for a large group. There are plenty of places to sleep and hang out. The amenities including the pool and dock with trampoline provided us plenty to do. You are also in close proximity to several marinas to rent a boat for your stay. I highly recommend this house if your looking at the lake Norman area.

Wonderful Vacation Time

I cant say enough about this place. With all the family we had there there was still so much space to spread out and enjoy ourselves. The house was in perfect shape with modern appliances and fixtures. Our host was magnificent in all aspects. We did have a late check in, however, this was due to the condition the previous occupants had left the place. Katie did her absolute best to get us in as quickly as she could. All in all a wonderful vacation was had by all.

Gorgeous Mansion at Incredible Natural Scenic Spot

We found this on the way back home on road because of the growing virus. It's entirely a relief at the moment we entered the area of Troutman and turned into this hidden road named Wildlife which indicates the real situation: deer family strolling leisurely by the road everywhere! And the house is humble from the road side because it's going downward for the 8000 sq. ft indoor space. Very spacious with many rooms and many beds for huge group of family or retreats. Many windows and sitting areas (I love the one IN the master bedroom!) facing the serene Lake Norman. Check in is self served and easy. It feels unreal when you easily turn the knob and found the palatial space inside completely yours! And it is spotlessly clean. The only flaw would be gone if there are more kitchen utensils and decent table sets. It's a pity we stayed only one night for such beautiful and calming location. Looking forward to our next stay here, and the gone of the sickness in the world.

Amazing house on the water

The pictures do not even do this house justice! Me and my extended family of 19 stayed here for a week to celebrate my Dad’s 80th birthday. I have to first compliment the property manager, Katie. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. She even surprised us with decorations and little gifts for my dads birthday! That personal touch was so warm and welcoming. The house was clean with more than enough space for all of us. There were plenty of bathrooms and 2 laundry rooms. The master suite was unbelievable with a huge room, huge bathroom and walk in closet and a sun room facing the lake. We loved having coffee in the morning in the sunroom off the kitchen with panoramic views of the lake. There were kayaks that we enjoyed taking out during the day. We spent a few nights on the dock around the fire pit roasting marshmallows. The pool was clean and the kids loved running from the pool to the dock to jump off and play on the water trampoline. Having the 2 kitchens also made storage of cold things and cooking dinners for 20 people much easier. The dock is large enough to rent your own boat , which we did along with 2 jet skis. Plenty of space. There is also a large grill by the pool and enough chairs for everyone. There are 2 living rooms with big tvs in case everyone doesn’t agree on the same show :) I cant say enough about this home. We had an amazing time and we will be back!

A Gem on Lake Norman

This is a wonderful property on Lake Norman. The house accommodated a large family very easily. There was plenty for us to do including a very nice pool, a neighboring state park, and of course a beautiful lake. We use the company Lake effects for our boat and jet ski rental. They were great. They dropped off and picked up a boat that was perfect for group. The house is well kept and has plenty of room for cooking, sleeping, and indoor activities. Great communication with the property manager. Would love to stay there again!

We loved our stay at Lake Norman

The house was excellent for our large group. There were 12 of us during the night with an additional 6 coming everyday from Huntersvillle. We were ages 5 months to 84 years. Everyone enjoyed the pool even on really hot days. We rented a pontoon boat and almost everyone skied, wakeboarded or tubed. There were lots of pool towels and floats for the children. Katie did an excellent job accommodating our groups needs. We needed an extra port-a-crib and she had it there in a jiff. The two laundry rooms were very appreciated. We will be back.

Lakeside Retreat

We loved our stay at this home. The property manager was very friendly and helpful. The home is situated nicely on a small cove with little traffic and peaceful evenings. Quick access to the main body of water. The pool was wonderful. The dock was wonderful. Our only minor disappointment was the advertised "hot tub" was a jetted bath tub in the master. Overall a wonderful experience and I would recommend to anyone.

Thanksgiving gathering

This property was large enough to accommodate my family of 23 for our Thanksgiving gathering. My children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren really enjoyed the lake. They were able to fish and enjoy the outdoor. The house was amazing and we had a wonderful time. The only downside was the heat. We can’t get the house warm enough and lots of the kids got cold and running noses. But overall we had a wonderful thanksgiving together.

Great house. So much larger than the pictures portray. We had 10 adults and more kids than we could count( j/k), but everyone had a bed to sleep in. I was impressed with all the bath towels and beach towels provided. Although we had a power outage for 26 hours, Katie did everything possible to help with that.
