The Waterman | Lakefront Luxury with Hot Tub & Dock!

Offering some of the best views around of Lake James, The Waterman is a stunning lakefront home that allows you to enjoy those views from the massive floor-to-ceiling windows while cozied up in the living room, while lounging on the screened porch, balcony, and patio, or while gathered around the outdoor fire pit!

​​​​​​​This spacious 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home boasts three separate king-sized bedrooms, including the main level master with a gas fireplace, a fourth bedroom with two full-size beds, and a fifth bedroom with a full-size bunk bed. It also has a lower-level den area with a TV and pool table (fireplace not usable). In addition to the outdoor areas mentioned above, you'll also find a hot tub, a private dock, and a gas grill to enjoy during your lake vacation! Located just 45 minutes from Asheville in Nebo, this spacious and upscale lakefront home is the perfect place to get away and enjoy everything the Lake James area has to offer.

Ideally located near Lake James State Park, you can spend your days exploring nearby hiking trails like the Fonta Flora Loop, Overmountain Victory, or the Holly Discovery (complete with child-friendly activities). If you don't mind a bit of a drive, you can visit another state park nearby, South Mountains, for a more challenging hike like Chestnut Knob or a beautiful waterfall hike like High Shoal Falls before grabbing a refreshing craft beer at Fonta Flora's open-air brewery at Whippoorwill Farm a mere 5 minutes from the home. Also located in Nebo is the award-winning South Creek Winery, which welcomes pets and hosts numerous events throughout the year.

Take a scenic 20-minute drive to reach the quaint small town of Marion, where you can grab another cold one at Mica Town Brewing Company, fresh seafood & cocktails at Crabby Abby's Bar and Grille, or a handcrafted dish paired with the NC staple, Cheerwine, at McDowell Local. Before returning to your home away from home, shop around at the Lake James Antique Mall, or take another 30-minute drive to the "Simply Charming" town of Morganton where you can find even more shops, regional museums, and art galleries where you can pick up a souvenir to remind you of your time in the mountains. You'll also find even more delicious dining and drink options in Morganton, like Root and Vine, Treat, Catawba Brewing Company, and the original Fonta Flora taproom.

Please Note: This home is pet-friendly with an additional fee. This home is lakefront and offers its own private dock on Lake James to enjoy. While the home offers access to Lake James, it does NOT offer access to Camp Lake James amenities. The boat, kayaks, and jet skis permanently docked are NOT available to renters. Only the left side of the dock (left slip and outside) is available to renters. For boat rentals, contact the Lake James Neighborhood Store (3.2 miles away) or Noah's Landing (9.2 miles away).

Very nice property on lake james

The property is exactly as it looks on vrbo, and the mgmt entity does a fantastic job in communicating with you prior to arrival via text, during your stay via text, and after departure. We enjoyed our stay very much! Our only recommendation, and it is minor, would be to perhaps have the landscaper do a better job with weed maintenance and overgrowth in backyard around walkway to dock and fire pit.
