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!

Property was excellent all around. Great weather week, lake was perfect. However, suggest listing be updated to indicate that there are 90 steps from house to water.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Steven and Jennifer Smith

Our family has called Lake James home since 1999. We have raised our5 kids
Children on the lake and love everything the area has to offer. The cabin was my parents a few coves over and we have chosen to keep it in the family and allow others to enjoy the beauty of Lake James and the surrounding mountains. We love biking Fonta flora trail, hiking shordoff mountain and hanging out at the local brewery when we’re not enjoying the water. Morganton is nearby and Asheville is 45 minutes west.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is in one of the original subdivisions on the lake and is very private. The home has been recently updated and has wonderful views both from the deck and from the expansive dock that has two slips for parking boats, a jet ski dock and a bunkee house on the shoreline that has a screen porch that has two twin mattresses if any family members want to sleep near the water! Their are gradual steps to the lake with several landings and benches to sit down as needed. There is a screened porch which offers shade on those hot days. It’s has an outdoor dining table, shuffleboard, and an outdoor TV!
