Porch Paradise by AvantStay | Lake Norman home w/ private dock, pool, kayaks & game room. Sleeps 10.
Set on a quiet finger of Lake Norman, Porch Paradise is a classic Southern-style home built for slow mornings, long afternoons on the water, and the kind of evenings where no one wants to head inside. Nearly 1,100 square feet of wrap-around porch sets the tone the moment you arrive — rocking chairs, dining for the whole group, and shaded corners for coffee or a glass of wine from one of the nearby Lake Norman wineries.
Inside, a warm foyer opens to a spacious dining area for eight and a fully stocked kitchen finished with Italian Tigerwood cabinetry and slate counters. The kitchen flows into a bright family room with built-ins, comfortable seating, and access to a back deck that runs the full length of the home. The primary suite sits on the main level with a king bed, a quiet sitting nook, and an ensuite bath featuring a soaking tub, glass shower, and dual sinks.
Upstairs, four bedrooms give everyone room to spread out — three with king beds and a bunk room with twin-over-twin bunks for the kids. One king bedroom has its own ensuite, while the other two share a hall bath. It's a layout that works especially well for multi-generational trips and groups traveling with little ones.
Downstairs is where the trip really opens up. The lower-level game room is anchored by a large sectional, a big-screen TV, and a multi-game table with pool, air hockey, and ping pong. A bar-height table is ready for board games, cards, or a casual meal off the grill. Guests have consistently called out the game room as a highlight — far enough from the bedrooms that late-night tournaments don't wake the early risers.
Outside, the new pool is the centerpiece of warm-weather stays, surrounded by loungers and two six-top dining tables. A fire pit rounds out the yard for s'mores after sunset. The sloped lawn leads down to a private dock on a calm arm of the lake, where three kayaks are ready for guests to use. The dock is well-suited for most average-sized pontoons and ski boats, making it easy to bring your own or rent one nearby.
Mooresville sits at the heart of Lake Norman and makes a relaxed, full-service base — grocery stores, restaurants, boutique shopping, and local wineries are all a short drive away. Spend mornings on the water, afternoons by the pool, and evenings exploring the lakeside towns that ring the shoreline. Whether it's a multi-family getaway, a celebration weekend, or simply a reset by the water, Porch Paradise delivers the space and setting to make it memorable.
