Lovely lake house
We fell in love with this lake house. It was the perfect place for our family to enjoy Lake James and the surrounding areas. The accommodations were amazing and the amenities were well thought out. We rented a pontoon boat for the week which added to our enjoyment of the lake. We would highly recommend this home.

Beautiful home and great location!
The homeowner was very helpful at every step. The house is exactly what you think of when you think "lake house." The furniture was inviting and the house well decorated. The beds were also very comfortable. Kayaks, canoes, paddle board. It had it all!

Great getaway!
Lake James is beautiful and the house was great. We cook a lot and the kitchen was well equipped. We spent much of our time on the deck or down by the water. Great week!

Paradise on Lake James
We loved our stay! The house was well decorated and stocked with what we needed. The views were spectacular! We kayaked and hiked at local parks as well as venturing out to other places to hike as well. Fall is gorgeous there! Our only complaint was that we did not stay longer. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home!

Very nicely updated house with gorgeous view
This house attracted my with a reasonable price range and ability to stay for a weekend only. It was a nicely updated, older house, with everything you need on hand. It was clean, had all the necessities and was supplied with linens and towels. The best and most thoughtful thing was that the owners left cofee for guests. We arrived late and forgot our own. It was the best surprise you can imagine. The house was prepared for guests and smelled nicely. The outdoor area was amazing. The garden stairs looked magically with outdoor lighting. I wish we could spend more time at the lake. The fact this house is in a cove makes this place quiet from the water traffic noise. I definitely recommend this place. The only thing that could work better was the internet.

Great Lake house
We were really pleased with this property! Very clean, lots of space to spread out and really nice beds and furniture. For us, the very best part was the lake. Although there are a large number of steps to get down to the lake, there are railings and sturdy steps the whole way down. There are also 3 spots to rest on a bench if you need it on the way back up! The dock is in a not crowded and quiet cove with views to the mountains. We kayaked with the provided boats and had so much fun with the water mat and other floats. During our stay in late August there was always shade somewhere on the dock. The screened in porch up at the house is comfy and we ate all of our dinners down there with a view of the lake. The upper deck is great too! It’s been a long time since we have stayed in a vacation rental that is this lovely. Also-communication with the hosts was super easy with quick responses. We highly recommend renting here!

Beautiful, relaxing home with amazing view
Our family of 3 adults had an amazing stay at this beautiful lake home. Unique layout makes it feel spacious yet cozy. Room to spread out. Excellent communication with owners. They were available when we had questions. Very quiet and peaceful area. We can tell a lot of thought went into planning this home. Kitchen had everything needed and then some to prepare our meals. The outdoor spaces are just as great. Loved the deck and screen porch and bunkhouse for afternoon naps. The dock offers more views and lots of fun. We had a great time using the kayaks and floating mat. We hope to return again soon. Definitely one of our favorite VRBO rentals yet. Thanks Steve & Jenny!
