Spectacular House & View
This house is lovely. Stunning and comfortable. The outdoor living areas and kitchen make it extra special. Nice boat house and dock area. Everything was as advertised. We loved floating in the lake in this cove. We will definitely be back!
A few things of note: The house on right side is very close. Just something to note for privacy sake. The walk up and down the rock walkway to the lake could be challenging for older folks or people unsteady on their feet.
Cute, cozy, and clean
The A frame cabin was lovely. We really enjoyed the covered porch and ate all of our meals outside. We also enjoyed using the kayaks and canoe. My kids spent a lot of time fishing off the dock and caught many sunfish. Everything was clean and we felt right at home. While in the area we hiked, went ziplining, and rented a double decker pontoon boat. We did get a fair amount of rain, but the covered porch allowed us to sit outside nonetheless. Very nice place to get away!
Beautiful home, perfect size. Fun on the water!
We stayed in this home in the summer with our three children and had the best time. House was beautiful. Loved the outdoor dining area. Access to kayaks and canoe was a huge bonus. Kids swam in the beautiful lake all day long while we spent time reading on the wonderful deck/patio area with steps down to the water. Plenty of space inside with a cozy hang out area. Neighbors were such a help finding the place when we showed up on a dark and stormy night with the power out. (Don’t follow google maps directions!) Neighbors were so kind and helpful and our kids made some fast friends with theirs.
We would love to return some time.
Very comfortable lake house
We planned a short getaway to the NC mountains, and so enjoyed this lake front property. We were able to go into Morganton for some fine dining, and hiked in the mountains at Hawksbill Trail. The home was very nicely furnished. We had plenty of room for our food and belongings, and the kitchen was well equipped. We hope to return, maybe in the summer to really enjoy the lake.
Adorable cottage, beautiful outdoor space and neighbors were super nice!
Everything was more beautiful than pictures! Super clean too😀 It rained our first two days we were able to sit out side under the covered porch. We meet neighbors on both sides of this property and they were so nice and personable. We Brought our boat and Mimosa landing was right down the road . We celebrated 2 birthdays and had a amazing time on Lake James! The Lindenbergs, Greensboro,NC
Great vacation spot with lots to do
We had a great stay. Great home with good amenities. We did a lot
1) BBQ on grill
2) swam in lake off of private dock. Prefect temperature water. Clean lake. Private cove.
3) mountain biking at lake james state park just 15 minutes away. Purpose built mountain biking trails. Went for walk on trails. Nice beach
4) Swam across cove daily for exercise
5) used kayaks to fly fish around cove. Caught Sun fish
6) used floats to lounge in sun
7) Ate dinner outside every night on large covered deck. Beautiful wood A-frame cover
8) drove to ashville for dinner, shopping, and music
9) rented pontoon boat from lake james general store, took boat to beat creek marina for dinner, went tubing behind the boat, visited homes for sale on the lake
And much more...
Map
Lake James is very close to area attractions such as Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock, Linville Falls and Caverns, Pisgah National Forest and the Linville Gorge, Biltmore House in Asheville, and Tweetsie Railroad Theme Park in Blowing Rock. We are closest to Morganton, NC which is a richly developing town with local shops, many artist in photography, paint, clay, and iron. There are restaurants and breweries downtown, as well as several parks including a water feature for kids. We have a Catawba River Greenway Trail that winds along the Catawba River and features restaurants, bicycle rentals, and more parks with a zip lining, clmbing tower, and climbing web. We are about an hour away from Asheville and a little over an hour from Charlotte.
