About this property

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



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.

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.

Extended Family Vaca

This beautiful, well appointed home was the perfect location for our annual extended family vacation. It was large enough for the 9 of us (5 adults, 4 kids ages 7-15) but maintained a sense of coziness. The stairs to and from the dock are a bit of a doozy but we knew that going into the rental and the long views of the lake more than made up for it. Check in/out process was super easy and the additional rental of the boat made this trip extra special

Incredible Stay!

What a weekend! The pictures don't do the property justice, and the pictures are great! We loved all the different spaces. It offered something for everyone, and the host thought of everything. We wanted for nothing. If you're coming to Lake James, look no further!

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.

Million Dollar Views

This house has the most amazing views!! Our family of seven couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the views from this amazing house were. On top of the views the house had plenty of room for our family of 7 and the most comfy beds! Our only critique was the rug by the front door was slippery so I would recommend putting a non slip rug underneath it. Otherwise, we loved every aspect of our stay and can’t wait to go back. If you haven’t considered Lake James, make sure you do, it’s absolutely beautiful!!

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!!!

I've been renting houses on Vrbo for almost 20 years and this was one of my favorites. View, location, house, amenities and host you couldn't ask for more. If your a cook you will love the big well equipped kitchen. Karin was great, rent the boat!!!!

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!
