Lake James resort

This is a wonderful house. It is better far the best appointed kitchen I have ever encountered in a rental. The views out the rear of the house towards the lake are lovely and serene. The bonus is how incredibly close the pool and beach activities are. This is a winner!

Beautiful home with amazing amenities! Space is really well used with two living areas and a bunk room. (Please put curtains or blinds on the sliders in the downstairs bedroom!)
