PRIVATE LAKEFRONT HOME

Experience the sheer beauty of this private lakefront retreat, where a majestic magnolia tree graces the boat dock, and you're just a short 5-minute drive from the interstate and less than 45 minutes from the charming city of Asheville. This spacious home is tailor-made for your entire family or group, offering an ideal environment for all ages and featuring an almost perfectly level lot leading to the tranquil lake.

The main floor exudes comfort and luxury, featuring a generous master bedroom with a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom for ultimate privacy. Adjacent to the hallway, you'll find a second bedroom with a queen-size bed, complete with provided bed linens (please note, towels are not included). The open concept design of the kitchen, dining, and living areas on this level creates an inviting space for gatherings.

Upstairs, a spacious loft area awaits, equipped with two sets of bunk beds and four single beds, ensuring ample sleeping accommodations. Downstairs, revel in the den's cozy ambiance, complete with a fully stocked bar boasting seating for six. Entertainment options abound, with Bluetooth connectivity for the receiver and a new stylus for the turntable. There's also a pool table, ample seating, an additional bedroom with a full-size bed, and a convenient full bathroom.

Step outdoors to savor the breathtaking lake view from the expansive back deck, which offers both covered and open seating for up to 10 guests. The basement features a poured patio with additional seating, all surrounded by meticulously landscaped grounds. Gather around the fire pit for unforgettable evenings, or engage in a friendly game of cornhole. Water enthusiasts will delight in the array of lake toys at their disposal, including a canoe, paddleboard, various floats, a 2-person kayak, and two individual kayaks. This lakefront haven promises a truly unforgettable getaway.

Well Equiped Large Lake House

We have never stayed at a property that had as much supplies as this one. So well equipped it was like home away from home. Lake area/cove is clean with excellent swimming for the kids. A little tight with neighbors docks but okay. House is large with plenty of space. The upstairs sleeping loft for kids was nice to have. House to water was not steep and easy to access.

The Perfect Lake James House

This is the perfect house for a family vacation on Lake James. The kitchen is well equipped. The top floor is perfect for a group of kids. We all loved the bottom floor pool table and record player. The dock it great to swim from and it located in a peaceful cove. This is our 3rd time staying here and plan to return every year.

Family summer vacation

We’ve always wanted to visit Lake James & it is a beautiful mountain lake. The home suited our needs well. Plenty of room to spread out. Loved the three decks. Thoughtful kitchen items, well stocked & organized. Wonderful landscaping. Boat dock was a little closer to neighbors than I prefer. All in all a great house for groups to enjoy.

No Smoking or Vape (even outside)

Let me start by stating the positives of the property its a nice size (ample beds). the location is good. The negatives no smoking or vape anywhere on the property or you are threatened to be kicked out and lose your money. I don’t smoke personally, but we had a few people that do and they were having to walk in the rain to the street to smoke. The neighbors are right on top of you on the dock and they aren’t very friendly (their dock is maybe 5-6ft away). The main issue with that is from the picture it looked like one of the boat bays were available, but we had to squeeze our boat between the 2 docks because there are now 2 boats (1 in each dock). Also there was no place to park a trailer because the best 2 spots for the trailers were taken by the owners trailers.

The property is accessible to everything we needed (Food Lion/Dollar General/Pizza) great for a large family or two families with older teens. Our kids enjoyed playing pool, using the kayaks and SUP. The landscaping is stunning! We enjoyed the 4th of July, grilled out - there is a well equipped kitchen. Stopped by Bones Jones for a delicious meal and next time we’ll bring our pickleball paddle to reserve the courts around the corner. The water temperature was perfect for swimming/floating. Lake life is the best life.

Lake James Retreat

Location exceptional and property is outstanding. Kitchen was well equipped, and beds were comfortable. Minor concerns about cleanliness and condition of stereo equipment. People with mobility issues need to be careful when using walkway to lake. Overall loved the experience.

We had 13 people ranging in age from 17 to 80 years old. Everyone had a bed and slept comfortably. The loft was perfect for all the “kids”. We enjoyed swimming from the dock every day!! The kayaks and paddle board were also a big hit. The kitchen was well stocked to prepare meals each night. We highly recommend this property, it’s quiet and the view was amazing!!!

Fun at the Lake

Something for everyone in early August. Three adults and 3 kids 8, 5, 3. The lake toys - canoe, kayaks, paddleboard and noodles were awesome. We used everything -- the decks, rocking chairs, huge outdoor table, fire pit and Grill. The kitchen was so well equipped. We cooked every meal from scratch and had what we needed. Only flaw was the dishwasher which didn't always dispense the soap properly. We left a note about that. This is a particularly fabulous place for big families and groups of friends. Loved it!

Location is perfect. Older home with dated decor. It is def a family home with lots of mementos everywhere. My son loved the records and pool table. Nice sloped walk to dock. Kitchen is well stocked and beds were comfortable except for Queen. It had a def roll in middle.still gave 5 stars because location is perfect, had paddle boards, and no steep walk to dock.

Wonderful family vacation Third year in a row

We LOVE this location and property. The owners are making improvements each year which really make a difference. The bunk room has its own air conditioner now. Our teens loved hanging out on the top porch. The dock had enough space for our boat and the cove is perfect for hanging out in the water. The kitchen is well equipped. We cook most meals there. We do enjoy Fonta Flora and Bones Jones for a night out. The basement is so fun to hang out in. The management company is extremely responsive. The neighbor’s pets are delightful. Thank you for a fantastic stay!
