Welcome to Lion Manor by AvantStay!

Set among mature trees just minutes from Lake Norman, this stunning modern estate offers the perfect balance of privacy, space, and unforgettable group experiences. Designed for large gatherings without sacrificing comfort or style, the home unfolds with soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and thoughtfully curated spaces that invite connection at every turn.

The main living area is a showstopper—anchored by dramatic ceilings, a grand piano, and an open layout that flows seamlessly into the dining room and kitchen. Host unforgettable meals at the dining table for 12, gather around the breakfast table for 8, or spread out in the oversized chef’s kitchen stocked with everything you need for group cooking and entertaining.

When it’s time to unwind, the options are endless. Settle into the TV room with a spacious sectional, challenge friends in the game room with a pool table and multiple TVs, or head to the dedicated movie room for cinematic nights in. Outdoors, the experience continues with a sprawling deck overlooking peaceful wooded views, an outdoor dining table for 10, a grill and BBQ setup, and a firepit perfect for evening conversations under the stars.

For active days, enjoy friendly matches on the private tennis and pickleball court, or take the canoes out to explore nearby waters. The surrounding Denver, NC area places you close to Lake Norman’s marinas, waterfront dining, boating, and outdoor recreation, while still being an easy drive from Charlotte’s restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions—making this an ideal home base for both relaxation and exploration.

At the end of the day, retreat to well-appointed sleeping spaces designed for flexibility and comfort. The primary suite features a king bed and spa-like ensuite with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, while six additional bedrooms, a bunk-style room, and a bonus room ensure everyone has space to recharge.

I booked this home in spring 2025 for a January 2026 stay. On January 1, 2026, the property changed management. I was told the new company would honor my original reservation, pricing, early check-in, and late checkout, and that they would contact me on January 2 to confirm payment and details. They never did.On January 3, I logged into VRBO and saw the house listed as available for the same weekend I had booked for a group of 20 women traveling from across the country. I had received no communication from the new management company.To secure the house, I had to rebook through VRBO. I requested early check-in and late checkout again but was charged three times the original amount, meaning my original pricing was not honored. After rebooking, the management company then denied my early check-in and late checkout.I was later told I could only request early check-in within 24 hours of arrival. When I did, I was informed early access still might not be possible because the home had not been cleaned or inspected, as it was a newly acquired property.After significant back-and-forth, I eventually received early check-in and late checkout—but only after paying 3 times more than originally promised.The lack of communication, failure to honor the reservation, and failure to honor pricing was unprofessional and stressful. I would never work with this property management company again and will avoid properties under their management in the future.

Family retreat

This is an amazing property and a great location. The cove is quiet and the kids enjoyed taking out the kayaks and paddle boards without concern for large wakes from motor boats or jet skis. Getting our boat there and docking at the house was super easy, i do wish the boat slip was covered but that is really the only thing that wasn't ideal. When not in the water, the pickle ball court, pool table and ping pong table kept everyone busy. We have come down to lake Norman every year for the padt 15 years and this was by far the best house we have stayed at to date.
