Our family had a great time. We spent nine days at the house. There were a couple minor issues at the beginning but Alyssa (property manager) handled them quickly and properly. Alyssa was very helpful before and during our stay and was quick to respond to all my questions. The house was very well stocked, has plenty of space, has incredible views and the outside and dock area were awesome as well. The on line pictures are accurate. We rented the pontoon directly from the owner and it was excellent. Lake James is very nice and seeing it from the water was even better. We will rent the house and pontoon again if we return to the area.

Best View on the Lake

Wow! We enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner with an amazing view of the mountains and lake. The view on the deck is spectacular but if it was too hot or rainy, the beautiful windows allowed the view to continue inside. We rented the boat for a few days and enjoyed touring the lake. Checkin/out was easy and communication with the property owner was great. We had a wonderful stay.

The best stocked vrbo we've ever stayed in. Loved the layout with lots of smaller spaces for conversation and games. would definitely consider staying here again. The only drawback was the 100 steps to the dock.
