Lakefront w/ Private Dock + Hot Tub | Pontoon Rental | Butler Bliss by AvantStay

Welcome to Butler Bliss, a serene waterfront retreat nestled on 129 feet of pristine shoreline on Lake Norman. Situated in a wide, deep cove just minutes from the main channel, this home is the ultimate destination for water lovers, offering the perfect setting for water sports, swimming, and endless relaxation.

Step onto the impressive double-decker synthetic dock, complete with a lift for pontoon rentals (ask for details), and enjoy plenty of seating options for everyone. The dock is fully equipped with all the lake toys you could want, including a kayak, paddleboard, and a variety of life jackets. Whether you’re lounging in the sun or jumping into the lake for some fun, the outdoor space is designed to bring everyone together, offering different areas for both socializing and adventure.

Off the main level, the expansive deck is ideal for outdoor gatherings. It features multiple seating options, including two tables that seat up to 10 people, plus Adirondack chairs for relaxing with a lake view. After a day on the water, relax by the stone fire pit—perfect for making s’mores and sharing stories from your lake adventures (firewood provided). A short walk further down brings you to a private beach area, where Adirondack chairs await just steps from the water.

For hours of fun, take advantage of the free access to corn hole and Connect Four, perfect for getting the group together and making memories.

The living room is furnished with a new sectional sofa and two oversized chairs, creating the ideal spot for watching the game or simply soaking in the lake views. Enjoy a drink at the bar, complete with 4 leather stools, or relax with a glass of wine from the wine fridge – this space is perfect for both casual hangouts and more intimate conversations.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and a breakfast bar with seating for 4, all offering stunning lake views. It comes fully stocked with everything you need to cook a delicious meal for your group.

Looking for some alone time? The screened-in porch offers a quiet escape with comfy sofa seating, perfect for reading or simply enjoying the surroundings.

Butler Bliss features 4 spacious bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, including a recently remodeled bath.

The upper level is designed for relaxation, with plush bedding and pillows to ensure a restful night’s sleep.

Beautiful view, lots of outdoor space, beds for everyone, close to grocery and restaurants, really an ideal spot for a small family gathering. The one issue was the autistics of the house. It was impossible to be in the main area and not wake others, whether late at night or early morning. Regardless, we would absolutely stay again.

Perfect Staycation

I stayed here for 3 nights with my family (7 adults, 2 kids and a baby) and we couldn't have asked for a better property. It's exactly as pictured and described - spacious, clean, beautiful location. We were amazed at how well stocked the house is - probably the best stocked house I've ever rented. The property management company was also extremely easy to communicate with via email and text. We only used the paddleboat and kayaks once. Overall, we couldn't have asked for more!

House was very clean and in a great location. Norman lake is wonderful and the family enjoyed swimming at the dock. Wouldn’t recommend for small children with the number/type of steps in the house and grounds. Dishwasher wasn’t working well, maybe filter is clogged but food was just redeposited and the land scape lighting (lower half out to the dock) was not lighting. It would help to have a copy of the quick start guide to understand the controls to the hot tub.

What a great place to stay with a group of friends over the Fourth of July! The check in/out process was easy and straightforward. The boat rental was so accommodating even when we decided the day of check in to rent it for our stay. The house was exactly as expected and so clean. Really awesome property!

Great location and beautiful house!

House is in a great location and overall we had a great time. The stairs can be challenging for little ones and elderly. We were disappointed that the hot tub and the gas fireplace were not working during our stay. When we arrived at 4 pm the cleaning staff was just finishing and might have felt rushed. There were things in the house that was not cleaned, but we stiff had a great time and look forward to going back to Lake Norman.

Great Lake Norman inlet, quiet and peaceful.

The property was fantastic! I invited my siblings and their families from around the country to meet my family there for a vacation. It worked out well. The Charlette airport was only 40 minutes away which made transpiration easy. We brought our boat and spent every day on the Lake. Much better than the ocean, no sand!
