About this house rental
Welcome to life on Lake Norman! Shades of Summer is a fabulous five-bedroom, three-bathroom house on the shores of Lake Norman. This charming ranch with a walkout basement is situated just off a quiet, tree-lined street in Denver, NC.
The open floor plan on the main level gives you views of the lake from almost every window. The bright, open fully stocked kitchen has a bar with seating for 4 as well as an eat-in kitchen area open to the main living area. The kitchen offers a Keurig and drip coffee maker giving each guest choices to make their morning Joe! The main level has new furnishings with comfy couches, new large TVs, and sliders to a deck with grill, seating, and Adirondack chairs - perfect spots to relax with morning coffee or an adult beverage!
The main level also hosts three bedrooms. The primary bedroom, with a king bed, has sliders to the deck for private lake views and a recently remodeled master bath with a tiled glass shower. The 2 other main-level bedrooms share a full bathroom in the hall. One bedroom boasts a king bed, and the other has a queen. All bedrooms have new wall-mounted TVs!
In the fully finished basement, you will be drawn into a second living area with an air hockey table for young and old to enjoy! Watch the exciting air hockey games at the high-top table. New comfy couches and a wall-mounted TV are also available in the lower-level living area. The lower level has two bedrooms: one with two queens and the other with two twin-over-full bunks, each with its own TV, seating options, and a full bath and laundry room.
Walk out the back to your lakefront oasis! Follow the path to a complete, custom gazebo right beside the water or fish off of the beautifully maintained dock. The gazebo has a new sectional and a small round table and chairs.
The outdoor activities at Shades of Summer are endless, with a fire pit (wood provided), corn hole, and large Connect Four! Get your family or group games going!
There is plenty of dock space to add your own or rented boat for your stay. It's a perfect way to check out all Lake Norman offers. Conveniently located on the dock are all of the fun lake toys, which include a kayak, and an assortment of life jackets.
AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs.

This is the perfect getaway for a large group. There were 12 of us. It rained every day but every day the sun came out long enough to go swimming in the lake, paddle boarding, kayaking (that were provided by the owner) and boating. We rented the boat because there is a beautiful pier that made it so easy to board and get off. When it did rain we had the whole downstairs that had the pinball machine & air hockey table that was put to good use. We also played cards, watched movies. We cooked every meal there using the fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, utensils, glassware you name it, it was there. I do want to point out though, the walk down to the pier is a little steeper than it looks only because we had some elderly friends that found it a little trying because there are no handrails for them to hold onto. But this is a wonderful property and we would definitely use this property again.

Great Property and amenities. Very Pleasant home.

This was the most welcoming home I have stayed in. It was very clean, they provided the basic essentials which was a huge help, and the one level living and entry was key for Grandma. I highly recommend this home.

We were in town for our son's wedding and had booked based on location near my son's house and an estimate of how many people we might need to accommodate. Shades of Summer exceeded all of our expectations! It was incredibly spacious while still having wonderful gathering spaces, the beds were all very comfortable, and the kitchen amazingly well stocked with cookware and dishes/silverware. It was also spotlessly clean and ready for our arrival. Communication with the host was excellent. The worst part was trying to turn onto Hwy 16 at rush hour, but that's a planning issue on our part. I would 100% recommend this home!

Fabulous property, fabulous host. Would stay again.

The week went too fast! The home was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful family reunion. It would have been perfect if we could swim in the lake…and if there was a dresser in the “bunk room.”

Our family stayed at this home for a week and celebrated New Year’s Eve. The home was gorgeous and everything was perfect. Communication was great! The coffee pot was broken and they delivered a brand new one the next day! I will definitely stay here again hopefully in the summer so we can utilize the lake!

The photos didn’t do the property justice. It was spacious and beautifully decorated. Plenty of room to all be together as well as give the kids a break from the adults. Highly recommend this owner and property.

This property is BEAUTIFUL! The pics were accurate and EXACT! The property was up to date and everything was very accessible. We spent our family Christmas here and brought accessories to decorate but it was already decorated with a tree and fixtures. A MUST SEE AND ENJOY!!

Perfect halfway spot for reconnecting with a long distance friend we haven’t seen in years! Well maintained and great view. Never been to Lake Norman and it did not disappoint. Our favorite thing about the property was all the on-site games and activities. Would stay here again. And the management was quick to respond if we had questions.

We had a wonderful time at this home! We had 15 adults and there was plenty of room for everyone without feeling cramped. The water access was very convenient. Quiet neighborhood, very peaceful surroundings.

Enjoyed our stay. The boat rental drop off and pickup was seamless.

The house was absolutely beautiful. Updated furniture and appliances…..everything we needed! The management company was so accommodating. Our boys made it to the final four of the American legion World Series and we needed to book an extra night, emailed the company at 10:30pm and they got back to me right away and allowed us to extend our reservation. We would definitely stay here again!

Great house, plenty of space and right on the water. We pulled our boat right up to the dock. We will use this property every time we need some extra space on the lake.

We had such a great time at the Shades of Summer. My kids did not want to leave. House was very clean and comfortable. The outdoor fire pit and fishing were great and would definitely stay here again.

This was a nice getaway while attending an event in Charlotte. Close enough to get downtown and also good to spend time kayaking the lake. House was superb. Had ample room for all guests. Morgan was top notch customer service and would rent again based on the responsiveness alone. Close to restaurants in Denver and grocery stores.
