Review stay at Upstairs on Lake Hamilton awesome

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Upstairs on Lake Hamilton, and I must say it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a stunning view of the lake. Location: The location of Upstairs on Lake Hamilton is simply unbeatable. Nestled right on the shores of Lake Hamilton, the views are breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset. The peaceful and serene environment made for a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Accommodations: The accommodations were top-notch. The space was clean, modern, and beautifully decorated, providing a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The living area offered a great place to relax, with large windows that allowed us to enjoy the scenic lake views even while indoors. Amenities: Upstairs on Lake Hamilton offered an array of amenities that made our stay even more enjoyable. We had access to a private deck where we could sit and enjoy the lake, and there was also a barbecue grill which we used for a delightful lakeside cookout. The availability of kayaks and paddleboards allowed us to explore the lake, adding an element of adventure to our stay. Host: The hosts were incredibly attentive and responsive. They provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out and were available to answer any questions we had during

About the host

Hosted by James B Banning

Host profile image
I am a longtime local business owner, real estate investor, and passionate traveler whose love for hospitality was shaped through years of exploring the world. From scuba diving in exotic waters to discovering hidden destinations and unforgettable conversations across continents, I developed a deep appreciation for experiences that feel both inspiring and personal.
A devoted ballroom dancer with a special love for Argentine tango, I understand the beauty of atmosphere, connection, and intention. Every property he creates reflects that same spirit, welcoming, elevated, and thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind.
I believe vacation time is sacred. Guests are not simply booking a place to stay; they are investing their time, trust, and memories into an experience. That belief influences every detail, from the amenities chosen to the feeling guests have the moment they walk through the door.
For me, true hospitality is simple:
Treat people exceptionally well, create spaces worth remembering, and make every stay feel like it mattered.
