We were so thankful for Avantstay and our host for accommodating us during the winter storm! The home they moved us to was stunning and we were so grateful to have such a prompt customer service team supporting us.
This home has an interesting floor plan in that no rooms are square. Very pleasant and relaxing. We enjoyed some time on the large rear decks, which have several rockers. There are several steps outside, so my older sister just came in through a back ground floor door and used the interior steps.
Beds very comfy. AC worked well. (Last time we stayed there, not so much). Kitchen was well supplied with utensils, paper products, foil, sugar, tea. Lots of TP. Lovely, quiet location. Easy dock. Great deck furniture.Suggestions: Fix the brick walkway. Update the pavilion. Clean pavilion fridge. (It was ajar, with leaves inside, and running.) Pavilion was not swept. Garage mandoor was unlocked when we first arrived. Slippery tub in the basement. Only one towel, washcloth, and hand towel per person. Service men appeared out of the blue to spray the dock; we asked them to come another time.
First, it's a convenient rental in a nice quiet neighborhood. Close to grocery stores and other amenities. It generally worked ok for our multi-generational group. That said, it is a house that feels like it has been an investment rental for a while. Or maybe there was a house party in the house prior to our arrival and the cleaners just did their best in the time they had, but it seemed like the house needed a good clean/organization. The cement floors in the lower level felt like there was a slippery waxy buildup on them. Lightbulbs/batteries needed to be replaced. There are no rugs, which makes the lower level, especially unwelcoming. The kitchen was clearly labeled at some point, but we found things but we found things shoved in all kinds of random drawers with kitchen labels randomly around the house. We also had to re-wash half of the items we used prior to using them. The dirt/crumbs/wetness was so bad inside two of the utensil drawers that I washed the drawers and contents out myself. Finally, the listing states Kings/Queens the bunk beds. I don't think the lower level bed is a queen. It felt like a full, which was tight for the parents of 2 kids in the bunk beds.
I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness as well as the necessities stocked in the house. Kitchen was thoroughly stocked with pots, plates and silverware as well as trash bags and cleaning products. The kids loved the 2 paddle boards and 3 kayaks and spent lots of time out on the lake. It is a little steep to get up the front steps so it might be difficult for older people to navigate. I would 100% recommend this lake house and would definitely stay here again.
We had a great stay here with our family of 11. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, a well appointed kitchen and eating areas. We wished the home had been more updated like the pictures had shown. The dock is in need of some repair, and the gazebo area was more rundown than expected. Overall we enjoyed our stay here, but would hope that updates are made.
Good spot on the Denver side of Lake Norman with plenty of space for a bigger group. Our group especially enjoyed the backyard area and cornhole boards. Would definitively book again and recommend to friends/family
Our family enjoyed our Thanksgiving vacation at this property. Fishing, kayaking, playing pool, games and more! The house is spacious. We cooked all our meals and could eat together at the large dining table.
The adults and kids loved the many amenities at this house. The two kayaks and two paddle boards were used daily. The tween boys had fun catching fist from the dock. The pool table, darts, corn hole, ping pong and other games kept us occupied indoors on two very hot days. A couple of small issues were handled quickly by the management team.
We had a great stay! Communication was AMAZING beforehand and we were able to plan for our trip better knowing what was already at the house. The bed sheets smelled super clean, which is always something Iâm nervous about - but these were great! We had kids with us (including a newborn) and liked how much space there was to spread out. The back porch was nice with a fire pit and various outdoor games. Would definitely recommend!
Property was clean and had plenty of room and multiple gathering areas both inside and outside. We were able to bring a pontoon boat to the property and park in the dock. The property had the use of both kayaks and paddle boards. Enjoyed the pool table, cornhole and giant jenga. I do have to say that it is a pretty steep walk down to the water. All in all a very nice property and we had a great stay.
We as a family have experienced a lot of loss recently and needed a vacation. It was hard to schedule a short notice long stay further away due to school and work. So this stay was perfect with not going to far away but being close enough and being on the water.
This large spacious house is tucked away on a quiet cove. The set up has everything you need! It is a fully stocked kitchen and water items for the lake too. We really enjoyed our time there. Surprised to find a mouse scurrying on the bottom floor and mold in the master bath where tiled work in the shower need to be addressed.
We had a great experience at Jake's Lake House. Overall, everything was as listed/specified. There are a few minor things they may want to fix or upgrade, such as the grill which didn't get above 250 degrees or the dishwasher that doesn't really wash the dishes. Plus a few other items. However, the sunset at the gazebo, lake access and overall beauty of the house well made up for it.
Beautiful home in good location on the lake. Plenty of ammenities. So much potential. BUT, this home needs maintenance. AVOID properties managed by Lakecations. Problem solving was severely lacking. I kept getting cheerful messages that "all is fixed", when in fact nothing had been fixed. Broken air conditioning was a huge deal to us. It took Saturday until Wednesday to get it fixed. Property Manager did not keep up to know that it was still broken - OR - they just don't want to spend the money to fix it. (All it needed was refrigeration, but approval took too long and Property Manager developed an attitude that was not customer service oriented in the least.) Also note that two "bedrooms" are technically not bedrooms in that there is no closet and little privacy through glass doors with blinds.
