About this property

Completed in 2021, this Max Fulbright and TruHome Designs house is a spacious home on a quiet peninsula at Lake James. This modern rustic home sits on an acre of land with a beautiful view of Lake James and the North Carolina mountains. The home features 3 master bedrooms each with private bathrooms and huge showers. An optional 4th bedroom has a queen bed and shares a bathroom with the bunk-room which accommodates 6. The lower level family room is equipped with bar area, mini fridge, television, numerous games, pool table and activities table. There are amenities throughout including most appliances and cooking utensils you'll need, place settings for 16, BBQ grill with grilling accessories. There is plenty of outdoor seating on the decks and at the dock for relaxation and take in the scenery, especially the incredible sunsets.

At the lake is a private dock with a 24 ft. boat slip. 2 Kayaks, 2 Paddle-boards and life vests are available for guests. Our dock and everything on it is provided for our guests. You may bring your own boat or rent one locally. The neighborhood provides a locked, boat trailer storage area offsite for guests and homeowners.

INTERNET: WiFi internet provided by Starlink is available at the house right now. It provides high speed access but will not seem as fast as cable or fiber. It's more than adequate for streaming movies, zoom calls, etc.

There is a pool and common area near the entrance of the neighborhood which will be accessible to all guests, however, it is not always open so please don't use the pool as a basis for your stay (amended 7/18/23). Use of the common areas requires utmost respect and consideration so we may be able to continue offering these amenities.

10 minutes from Lake James state park with hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails. 10 minutes to Fonta Flora Brewery at Whipporwhil Farm where you can enjoy local brews and outdoor games.
60 minutes from Asheville, 1.5 hours from a Charlotte.

Super late summer stay. Great house with two spacious living areas. Lots of games, pool table and plenty of separation from top to bottom floor. Nice dock with water mat, kayaks, paddle boards, etc. Excellent swimming right off the dock. Owner is always accessible and responsive. Highly recommend.

Boy’s weekend

The house and property are fantastic. Clean, well stocked, pretty much just as advertised. The owners are very easy to work with and on top of everything. It was the perfect place to have some good times with some dear old friends. I would absolutely stay here again.

Friends Trip

I can’t say enough about this property! Everything was perfect! The house was beautiful, the private dock, the lake toys, the privacy, it was all great. We had 3 families staying and there was plenty of room for everyone. We would definitely stay there again and again!

An awesome weekend away

This house is great! Very clean, well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds. Such a beautiful view. The dock was great for our little fishing boat and sunbathing. I wish the dock had a little shade (like the neighbor’s sail shade). Owner isn’t kidding about the crafty little raccoons. Loved the fire pit!!!

Excellent house and hosts!

We loved our weekend at Tara and Tim’s house! The place was spotless and they were very flexible with us as far as checking in a bit early and checking out a bit late…location was great and loved the views you get coming into the neighborhood/down the driveway. Could not recommend this house or these hosts more!

About the host

Hosted by Tara and Tim Riddell

We love traveling around and experiencing as much as we can.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this part of North Carolina years ago. We found this particular property mostly by chance but it quickly became our opportunity. The beautiful lake and mountain views, the not-so-steep approach to the water, the quiet location, the orientation for sunsets, the position on the lake's inlet providing privacy and quiet, the genuine friendliness of the people in the area; these are all factors which told us this was the right spot.

What makes this property unique

The house sits on the side of hill overlooking Lake James. It's below the approach of the property which provides wonderful privacy from the road. It sits above the lake which provides amazing and serene views. The back deck sits high above the ground and you feel as if you're in the treetops. There are abundant opportunities to view wildlife such as deer, fox, wild turkeys, pileated woodpeckers; the list goes on. The house is far enough away from everything to enjoy quiet and privacy but close enough to most conveniences to not be inconvenient. Fonta Flora Brewery at Whippoorwill Farms 15 minutes away is one of OUR favorite places to take friends and family for pizza, burgers and drinks. Lake James State Park, Fonta Flora Trail, Linville Gorge, and many others are within 30 minutes of the house.

Bottom line, stay at the house, get out and explore or a little of both. You certainly will not lack for things to do and see.
