Our trip was amazing & the property was excellent. The location couldn't have been better, being right on the lake and having the pool next door was a huge bonus. My kids loved fishing the entire time, and both the kids & adults loved taking out the kayaks & paddle board. We stayed busy, made so many great memories, and absolutely loved our trip. We would definitely stay here again!

This was our third trip to Lake James and our first stay at this home, and we were not disappointed! The home was exactly as described well maintained, spacious, and comfortable, with convenient access to the lake via a switchback trail leading down to the dock. It sits on one of the most beautiful coves on Lake James.We especially enjoyed spending our evenings on the screened-in porch playing family games and making memories together. The spacious, open layout provided plenty of room for cooking and enjoying family meals. We absolutely love Lake James and truly enjoyed our stay at this home.The homeowner was also very responsive and attentive to any questions or needs we had, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We would definitely love to return!

Thanks so much for the kind and detailed review. We're thrilled to hear you and your family enjoyed your time at Lake James, and staying at Newman's Nook. The screened porch is excellent for waking up in the morning or winding down in the evening after fun on the lake or the pool next door! We look forward to the opportunity to host you again in the future.
