Black Bear Lodge by AvantStay | Lakefront, Dock, Pool, Theater | Sleeps 20+

For those seeking a serene escape, the Black Bear Lodge on Lake Norman offers the pinnacle of luxury and relaxation. Situated on mesmerizing Lake Norman in North Carolina, this breathtaking property is designed with an infusion of black bear elements throughout its interior.

Black Bear Lodge brings together the waterfront lake house, the rustic hunting cabin, and the poolside resort! Nestled in a quiet cove, this 6-bedroom, 6.5-bath home can sleep 20+ and comes perfectly planned with all our guest's needs in mind. The lodge also caters to our youngest guests with a full nursery.

Wait until you see the gorgeous lake views from the open-concept living and kitchen area. A large wrap-around porch gives plenty of seating and gathering areas. The main floor has 3 king bedrooms with private bathrooms. There is one bedroom with a twin-over-queen bunk with a common bathroom. Upstairs, discover an open loft area with a futon couch and our Lodge Suite. The suite has a full bathroom, king bed, 2 custom-designed full size cubby beds, and the nursery, which also has a twin bed and still plenty of space to spare.

The open concept living area - kitchen, dining and living areas all in one. The fully stocked kitchen features a drip and K- cup coffee maker to please all coffee enthusiasts. Bring you food and you will never need to leave this fully stocked lodge.

The lake, the pool, your private sandy beach, and the hot tub are all just steps away now. Get ready for swimming day or night, chaise loungers, patio seating, and dinner sizzling on the grill, followed by smores at the firepit.

Your private dock with a large sitting area has excellent views down through the cove while you are watching swimmers, kayaking, paddleboarding, or waiting for your boat to come in. Just in case Mother Nature is not cooperating, spend the day with 14 of your closest friends watching your favorite film or Sunday Football in the luxe movie theater.

You won't be disappointed by the comforts of a cozy cabin paired with all the lavish amenities expected from an upscale vacation rental! If you need more sleeps this house can be booked with Blue Heron Lodge and if you need more you can book all three of The Lodges!

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

Discover the allure of Lake Norman, a haven nestled in the heart of North Carolina. With its idyllic atmosphere, this destination offers the perfect blend of tranquility and excitement. Whether you're here for a laid-back escape or outdoor adventures, you'll have dozens of options to keep you relaxed and entertained. Spend lazy days by the shimmering waters, or venture into the charming lakeside towns, where quaint boutiques and local eateries are waiting with unique finds and new experiences. For the outdoor enthusiast, there's an array of water activities, from paddleboarding under the vast sky to exhilarating boat rides against the backdrop of scenic hills. Whether you seek relaxation or adventure, Lake Norman promises an unforgettable retreat, making your stay here truly exceptional.

Wonderful property and very responsive hosts
The property was the highlight of our stay. All my friends commented on the location (lake front) and the spaciousness of the house. The house was well stocked with all kitchen and toilet supplies we needed and more. The host was very responsive and answered our questions quickly. Would definitely recommend this place to other friends.
