You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Breathtaking Lake & Mountain Views & Private Dock. Enjoyable Year Round!

Please ask host about timeline on dock maintenance prior to booking.

Travel down a charming, privately gated drive to escape in our lakefront retreat! Enjoy the entire house tucked away on the shoreline of Lake James. Our 4BR/3.5BA sits on a wooded ridge and offers lovely views of two main channels, along with Mount Mitchell and Short Off Mountain. Relax on the decks, in the screened porch or by the outdoor fireplace and see some of the best sunsets around! The private dock offers space to keep a rented boat.
**The owner has a 25ft Bennington pontoon available for an additional daily fee of $450 or ask about a weekly discount. This rental is separate from the Vrbo booking. Ask the agent to refer you to the boat contact where you can discuss exact pricing.**

The gated community is privately maintained and roads must be shared. This is a one lane road with turnouts and directional signs for owners. Directions will be supplied prior to arrival date. We recommend that, in Winter months, guests check weather conditions prior to booking and drive appropriate vehicles.
The home's layout is very spacious and offers two levels of living space. The main level offers a den off the entryway with lake views, a large bedroom with 2 beds to one side, and 2 additional bedrooms on the other side. There are 2 full hall baths on this level, one is ensuite.
The upper level has a large open floor plan with the kitchen, dining, and living room. This level has open long range lake views as well. The screen porch is off the dining room and offers lake and mountain views. The master bedroom is on the upper level with a full ensuite bath. The half bath is located off the kitchen and dining area. The laundry is on this level behind closed doors off the kitchen. There are lake views from almost every room of this home and plenty of exterior areas to enjoy just hanging out and relaxing.

*We just completed an internet upgrade to StarLink.* Our community is remote, gated, and on a private road, so we do not have established portals available to us at this time. This is a common issue around Lake James. If you need to stream, please disconnect all other devices so that you have the strongest signal possible.

Lake James is conveniently located between Charlotte and Asheville, NC. We are about an hour from regional/international airports if needed. We are close to Old Fort, Black Mountain, Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, Boone, and Blowing Rock. We are in the back yard of Linville Gorge where there are many trails to hike, mountain bike trails, kayaking, and other nearby attractions. Just ask your host about things to do.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Lake James. Laundry facilities are available. The holiday home includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and 3.5 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • Steps from Lake James and Catawba River
Breathtaking Lake & Mountain Views & Private Dock. Enjoyable Year Round! offers its guests barbecue grills and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

We really enjoyed our stay this week. The house fit our family perfectly. We had a great time on the lake during the day and then enjoyed playing pool in the evenings. It was just a really great family time! Don't hesitate to book this place, you won't regret it!

Best View on the Lake

Wow! We enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner with an amazing view of the mountains and lake. The view on the deck is spectacular but if it was too hot or rainy, the beautiful windows allowed the view to continue inside. We rented the boat for a few days and enjoyed touring the lake. Checkin/out was easy and communication with the property owner was great. We had a wonderful stay.

Great experience!

First time to Lake James and very glad we chose this property. It was well maintained and clean. More than enough kitchen items to make any meal (we cook a lot). A slide and diving board were recently added to the property and the kids loved it! Communication with the host was very good; friendly with quick responses that answered our questions. The only "concern" I would point out are the steps going to boat dock. They are very cumbersome to navigate and somewhat unstable depending on your physical condition. Most of it is due to the topography of the land, but make sure you are ready to carry coolers, floats, etc. up and down 100 stairs - quite the workout!

Perfect relaxing house on the lake!

The house and property were beautiful! The view of the lake was amazing; we enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning and watching the stars in the evening. The furniture in the house was excellent; very comfortable chairs and beds. There is plenty of room to spread out, but also great gathering spots for family time. The den downstairs was perfect for enjoying family movies. The kitchen was amazing and there was tons of seating options. The stairs to the lake definitely gave us our daily exercise! The location of the house and on the lake is quite private; we almost never heard or saw the neighbors. Overall, it was a perfect house for a relaxing stay with our family of 5.

Luxury with a view

The house was one of the nicest we’ve stayed in, plenty of room for three families. Our 3 and 4 year old kids loved swimming and using the slide. The hosts were quick to fix a problem with the water pump for the slide and very responsive to any questions. The kitchen is very well stocked and we used the grill as well. The house is also not a really long drive in, unlike some properties on the lake. We’re already talking about when we can come back.

Secluded Lake House - Outdoor Amenities

Visited home on Memorial Day weekend. Cannot say enough great things. Location: Lake James is very large, deep lake, but with state park and camping facilities on a large portion, the houses are limited compared to other lakes and crowds are very light. Easy to reach just a few miles off highway. House: One of the best stocked houses ever stayed in with almost anything you could need. Very comfortably housed 2 families of 5 in 4 bedrooms. Fully stocked kitchen, games, bedrooms. Outdoor fireplace on a turf grass backyard with large wood storage. Expansive outdoor deck with ample seating and a covered porch with pool table. High up on cliff overlooking beautiful section of lake. Activities: Long stairway down to dock area. May be difficult for anyone with challenges walking up stairs. Paddle Boards, Kayaks, extra seating, diving board and slide all on dock provided hours of fund. Owner will rent personal boat / jet ski to guests only for additional fee (docked right at house). Already looking into booking again. Spent most of the time on lake, but drove 25 min to Linville Wilderness area for hiking and stopped at Fonta Flora brewery and farm on way back. Keep the lake a secret as long as can.

Mountain Lake Get-Away

This is a beautiful, clean, and very well stocked home with Spectacular Views of Lake James. We loved having the master up on the main level and the remaining bedrooms with an additional living area downstairs for our adult age children and their partners. The kitchen was very large and well stocked. We really enjoyed the pool table on the back porch and the built in Sonos Sound system throughout the entire home. We enjoyed coffees each morning and evening cocktails on the deck overlooking the lake. So peaceful!!! Booking and corresponding with Karen was easy and effortless. I strongly suggest renting the pontoon boat from the homeowner, who is also a pleasure to work with! This allowed us to enjoy the entire lake while trolling around admiring the other lakefront homes and searching for fish. We definitely look forward to future vacation Get-Aways at this beautiful home!!!
