We had a wonderful long weekend at this lakefront VRBO! The cabin was cozy, clean, and just the right size for our family of three. The bear-themed decor was charming without being overdone. We loved swimming in the lake, and the outdoor area with the fireplace and beach was perfect for relaxing and having fun. The paddle boat was a great touch, keeping us entertained all weekend. Highly recommend this spot for a family getaway!

Lake James Playground!

My husband and I just spent a week at the “cozy cabin” on Lake James and had an amazing time! The cabin is adorable, exactly as described with so many amenities. We enjoyed the fire pit, private beach, and boat/dock area. The weather was a bit sketchy, but that allowed us to explore local breweries and towns near by. Communication with the host was outstanding. We cannot say enough good things about this perfect little piece of lakeside paradise. We will be back!

Wonderful place to stay!!!

We loved staying here! There are so many nice outdoor areas to enjoy .... the porch is so cozy, the beach is wonderful - especially for our dog, and sitting on the dock first thing in the morning having coffee was so relaxing. Loved all the outdoor string lights at night and having a fire in the fire pit!

Relaxing vacation

Loved having a last minute vacation (with our 4-legged child) where we could fish, make a fire, grill, go boating if we wanted to, etc. Was a fun property with lots of options for activities. Would like to visit again.
