Fishing Weekend
We had a great time at this property. The house was comfortable and plenty of room for the four of us. The area was perfect with nearby Lake James for fishing. The on property fishing pond was great, however a little overgrown. Interactions with the owners were simple,courteous, and efficient. I would recommend this location to anyone.

Beautiful property
The property is beautiful and we enjoyed exploring and making fires and roasting marshmallows. Hosts were kind enough to drop off firewood when there wasn’t any.

Why they chose this property

We first discovered the Lake James area in 2005 and it was love at first sight, from the incredible vistas of Linville gorge, to the crystal clear mountain water that fills the lake and flows down the Catawba River, to the miles of shoreline to explore, all just minutes from the front door. We quickly developed a passion for introducing friends to the mountain to lake experience. We think this area is the best kept secret in North Carolina. Several years ago we had the opportunity to acquire this beautiful piece of land just one mile from the lake with the plan to expand our ability to offer people the extraordinary opportunity to enjoy a relaxing and stress reducing Mountain to Lake Retreat. We have been able to do this at extremely affordable rates compared to more heavily marketed destinations with higher name recognition

What makes this property unique

Mountain Views off the front porch make the perfect back drop for morning coffee or a late afternoon cocktail.
Walking trails to explore and get your heart pumping.
Wooded grove adjacent to open field - watch the wild turkeys walk out of the woods each morning.
Boat/jetski parking, local marina/boat ramp access nearby
Lake James
Picnic down at the fishing pond protected from sun and rain under the covered shelter.
Bird watching paradise.
