Winding Down by AvantStay | Sleeps 20 + Dock, View | House in Troutman

**Welcome to Winding Down** – your modern lakeside escape where comfort meets luxury and every detail is designed to help you relax, recharge, and reconnect.
Perched on the serene shores of Lake Norman, this newly renovated retreat is the ultimate setting for family vacations, group getaways, or peaceful escapes. With sweeping lake views, spacious interiors, a brand-new pool, pickleball court, and even a fully loaded man cave, *Winding Down* is more than a vacation rental—it's an experience.
Step inside to a beautifully curated, open-concept home designed with a modern farmhouse feel. Fresh paint, new flooring, and upgraded lighting throughout create an inviting ambiance, while large windows flood every room with natural light and frame breathtaking views of the lake. Whether you're gathered around the cozy living room, sharing meals in the dining area, or sipping coffee on the screened-in porch, you'll always feel connected to the calm of the water just beyond.
The main level features a bright and spacious living area with a plush leather sofa, stylish seating, and a large TV—the perfect place to unwind after a day on the water. The kitchen is fully stocked for everything from pancake breakfasts to holiday dinners, complete with a Keurig and drip coffee maker, generous counter space, and bar seating for four. A large farmhouse dining table offers seating for eight, while a cozy round table in the breakfast nook provides the perfect spot for casual bites and morning chats.
With 7 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms across three levels, this home comfortably sleeps 16 guests. On the main level, you’ll find a serene primary suite with its own private bath, plus an additional queen suite and king suite, all designed for rest and relaxation. The upper level offers two more king bedrooms—one with an ensuite—and a kid-approved bunk room featuring two twin-over-full bunks and a TV. Tucked away upstairs is a peaceful reading nook—perfect for quiet moments and morning reflections.
Head downstairs, and the fun really begins. The lower level is an entertainment haven featuring a full kitchen, a game zone with pool, darts, and board games, and a cozy second living space. There’s also a private bedroom with two queen beds and an attached bathroom—ideal for guests who want a little extra space.
Looking for the ultimate hangout space? The new **Sports Den** delivers in a big way. One side boasts an 85” TV and two 55” TVs, a large sectional, ping pong and foosball tables, a bar sink, and a full-sized fridge and freezer to keep beverages chilled. There’s even a full bath complete with a urinal—because details matter. The other side features a state-of-the-art **golf simulator**, a putting green, and even more TVs, so you never miss a minute of the action. Step outside and challenge your crew to a game of **pickleball** on the brand-new court.
And then there’s the outdoors—a private paradise that’s just waiting to be enjoyed. Start your day on the full-length screened-in porch, grill up lunch on the deck, or take a dip in the pool complete with a sunning shelf. Head down to the dock for a peaceful paddle, a swim, or some sunbathing. The cove provides calm, swimmable water, while the **kayak**, **stand-up paddleboard**, **corn hole**, and **Connect Four** ensure fun for all ages. As the sun sets, gather around the **fire pit** or relax in the **hot tub**, letting the sounds of the lake lull you into a state of total bliss.
Whether you’re making s’mores, hitting the court, watching the game, or simply enjoying the view, **Winding Down** offers something special for everyone. This is the kind of place where memories are made—and we can’t wait to welcome you.
