Hummingbird Home by AvantStay | Boat House + Dock

With over 200 feet of shoreline on a quiet cove, welcome to a retreat for the whole family. The Hummingbird Home has been newly remodeled and shared, with the hope that it would be a space to gather, experience peace, and exhale.

With 4 king bedrooms, 1 queen, a bunk room (4 beds), and a separate boat house with a king bed, there's plenty of space for both togetherness and solitude.

Savor mornings on the deck surrounded by birdsongs as you sip your coffee. Watch your children's delight as they discover secret rooms, cheer with your glasses and your people under string lights, and soak in the hot tub overlooking the serene cove. This haven on the water is a getaway to rest, make memories, and enjoy the lake naturally.

— Non Toxic —
A significant detail setting this home apart is the attention to minimizing toxins to prioritize your family's health. You’ll sleep on organic mattresses & bedding, be welcomed into a house cleaned with non-toxic cleaners & laundry detergents (no more sleeping with potent fragrances) and drink and shower with local well water purified through the whole-house filtration system. Remodeled with low VOC and natural materials, you'll breathe in clean air, soak in natural lighting by day, and enjoy a warm evening glow by night. Bedrooms are intentionally designed without TVs to encourage healthy sleep patterns and deep, healing rest.

— The Home —
The Hummingbird Home was built and decorated with natural handmade resources: 100-year-old hand-hewn beams downstairs, intentionally curated antiques, and handmade clay tile to meet its Spanish Revival style. You will enjoy the rest and relaxation of the old world, with all the convenience of the new.

If you're a coffee lover, you're in good company. Wake up to the aroma of your favorite coffee shop in your home. The Breville Espresso machine makes an excellent latte or Americano. If you prefer a pour-over, the Fellow grinder and kettle make it perfectly. If you'd prefer to simply wake up to your coffee made, that option is available too, as well as a Keurig if that's your cup of choice.

This home has plenty of seating areas indoors and outdoors - great for hosting friends and creating traditions with family. The kitchen is the heart of the home, where food, family, and friends collide. The spacious island with a gas cooktop allows the chef to be part of the party while leaving seating for 6 and plenty of room for more to gather.

Open up the back sliding glass door to your outdoor dining area, where the inside and outside flow seamlessly. The grill is ready to be fired up for BBQ with friends. Surrounded by trees and visited by hummingbirds, dinner on the deck is complemented by stunning sunset views and the sounds of nature. The entire back wall of the home has windows to allow views of the lake. This is a perfect place to cozy up, read a book, or grab a friend for sweet conversation.

Downstairs is where the indoor fun happens. A ping pong table, shuffleboard table, board games, TV, and seating area all create the opportunity for joyful memories.

— Bedrooms & Bathrooms —
On the main level, a king bedroom attaches to the main bathroom, a queen bedroom hides a secret playroom (accessible by attic ladder), and a primary bedroom highlights lake views and a beautifully designed bathroom. All three bathrooms have been meticulously remodeled. The primary shower has three shower heads to enjoy an immersive shower experience. The main upstairs bath holds both a shower and a vintage clawfoot soaking tub with sides tall enough to bathe and rest comfortably. The downstairs bathroom holds a deep soaking tub, large enough for all the littles after the lake or for when you need some alone time.

Downstairs, a king bedroom opens with double glass doors to the lake. A bunk bedroom with 3 twins and 1 full delights adults and kids alike when they discover the secret passageway.

The last sleeping area is a separate boat house down the hill with a king bed and full bathroom. This space is perfect for anyone hoping to wake up with their own quiet, private balcony to enjoy the tranquil sounds of the lake.

— Outdoors —
Outdoors is where you'll spend your days soaking in the sunlight and resting in the shade. With an emphasis on natural entertainment, the Hummingbird Home invites both adults and kids to play. Take the stand-up paddle boards or kayaks for a spin, rest in the swinging chair while spotting herons and jumping fish, sit on the Adirondacks at the dock while sipping a cool drink, enjoy lunch under the pergola, or all of the above. As night falls, the fire pit comes alive to roast s'mores, and the hot tub becomes the place to stargaze to cap it all off.

If you're looking to get out on the water, this home makes it easy. A favorite marina will bring your boat or jet ski rental to the house. The community boat launch is a minute down the road, and another local marina sits just across the main channel.

Enjoy the best Lake Norman offers, with waterfront restaurants and an award-winning vineyard nearby for the foodies. Lake Norman State Park is nearby for adventure seekers, with 50+ miles of hiking and mountain biking trails near your doorstep.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment.

For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

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.

Great weekend get away
Overall this house did not disappoint. We took a Christmas trip as a family and this property is amazing. Some issues with the plumbing in the boat house but the property manager responded quickly and it did not affect our stay. Thinking about coming back in the summer so we can enjoy the lake.

Great property and support
The property was fantastic, very comfortable and cozy. Amazing views of the lake. Spacious rooms and great beds. Our only issue was that when you ran the water in the boathouse, it smelled funny. I would check on this with the property when you book to make sure it is taken care of in advance, if anyone is staying in the boathouse.
