Summer at the lake can't be beat! This is the perfect summer getaway! If you're looking for fun on the water, gorgeous scenery, exciting nearby excursions, and beautiful weather, this lake house offers it all. The house is located on Lake James, a clear, fresh water lake- one the most beautiful lakes in NC, boasting 150 miles of shoreline with breathtaking mountain views. Situated near the end of a private cove and no-wake zone, this lake house offers a double decker dock with picnic table and jump off, floats, kayaks, lifejackets, a swim out platform (perfect for smaller kids), ladder and two chaise lounges. Lots to do nearby (if you find yourself ever wanting to leave the lake)-only 20 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and amazing lookouts. Dine at the famous Mountain View Restaurant with endless views, go gem mining, white water rafting, zip lining, hiking in the Pisgah National Forest, golfing, antiquing, and don't miss The Biltmore and Grove Park Inn in Asheville. Only 30-45 minutes away, visit Grandfather Mtn, Blowing Rock, Mt. Mitchell, Linville Gorge (the grand canyon of the Carolinas) , waterfalls and caverns, Chimney Rock and Lake Lure (where Dirty Dancing was filmed) or go snow skiing in the winter- several popular ski resorts abound. The nearby towns of Nebo, Marion and Morganton offer all conveniences and supplies.
This cozy 1,400 square foot house is fully furnished with linens, towels, dishes, cookware, utensils, washer & dryer, iron, fireplace, grills, TV, DVD, board games, books, outdoor patio furniture & cushions, and 2 complimentary kayaks. All you need when you get here are groceries!
This lake experience can't be beat- it's especially perfect for families, allowing kids to enjoy the great outdoors and get back to nature, and couples will enjoy the solitude and relaxation. Once you stay here, you'll keep coming back!

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: Our family is from Florida and we love the change in scenery that NC and especially this Lake House provides! We love the topography, mountain views, and fresh water lake. We love the fact that this house and location provide such diverse activities for all seasons.
Why the Owner Chose Nebo:
We found this house on vrbo in summer 2011, stayed here for 8 days, fell in love with it, and bought it! The location puts you right in the middle of so many activities, but the lake is so relaxing and fun, we found ourselves only venturing out 3 times during our stay! The beautiful lake, friendly neighbors, and friends we have met since our first stay, made us want to own a piece of this paradise. We have since put in a gently sloping gravel path to the lake and a brand new aluminum bridge to the dock, allowing you easier access to where you really want to be- the lake.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Private, wooded yard, porch and dock lets you enjoy seclusion, while the lake is bustling with activity during peak summer. The double decker dock provides family fun- jumping in the lake, lounging, picnicing, and watersports. Dine out on the upper level, complete with picnic table and umbrella. When you want to venture out, you can do it all in a day trip, and come back to the lake house to relax!
