Wonderful family vacation
So glad we found this beautiful property. Nested in the hills of the NC Mountains close to Lake James. We had a large family and the house didn’t disappoint. The views are spectacular, something for all ages and the little touches are so thoughtful. Game room and pool table were a hit daily and our pups enjoyed themselves too. We will be back!

This was one of the most fabulous places that I’ve ever stayed. There is an amazing view . They have thought of everything to make this a comfortable stay and to make sure you are at home. Anything that you would need, they have thought of it. . I loved it because it was up in the mountains, but not too far away from everything. The decorating is gorgeous the hot tub made it that much better. Such an adorable place. I will be back again. The flowers and landscaping were gorgeous. You could spend all day watching the birds and butterflies. Loved it!!!

Amazing familt Time
Laughing Logs is absolutely amazing!!! The pictures do not do it justice. The house has so many things to do and the room and accommodations are the best. We enjoyed every minute of our vacation together. The view is breathless!!! I will absolutely book this house again. From the communication to check in it was great. Love the location.

An amazing vacation
This house was excellent. It was secluded and private but still very close to the town center. There was hiking trails and plenty of space for my dogs to explore. The house is set up so thoughtfully. There's games, pool tables, a hot tub, breathtaking views. It was such a nice and relaxing stay. We will definitely be back!
