About this property

Lakefront Retreat | Luxury Home with Private Dock

Lakefront Retreat on Lake James is an opulent and spacious lakefront gem that boasts a game room (complete with foosball, pool, and ping pong), an expansive deck, an outdoor fire pit, a gas grill, a private boat dock, and gorgeous lakefront views! Located just 45 minutes from Asheville in Nebo, this upscale lakefront home is the perfect place to get away and enjoy everything the Lake James area has to offer. Spend your days exploring nearby hiking trails like the Fonta Flora Loop in Lake James State Park or High Shoal Falls in South Mountains State Park before grabbing a refreshing craft beer at Fonta Flora's open-air brewery at Whippoorwill Farm just 10 minutes away.

Take a short 15-minute drive to reach downtown Marion where you can spend your afternoon exploring the new 310 District, an indoor shopping space that's home to Toonez Chop House, Chances of Sprinkles Bakery, and several retail shops. For dinner, head to J. Hartman's for fresh seafood and a cocktail, or McDowell Local for a handcrafted dish paired with the NC staple, Cheerwine. For view chasers, this home is about an hour's drive from the ?gorge?-ous Linville Gorge Wilderness area and the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, which offers plenty of overlooks and hiking opportunities to choose from.

Don't forget that no trip to the mountains of Western North Carolina is complete without experiencing the Land of Sky, Asheville. While there, be sure to check out the hip and artsy West Asheville district, North Carolina Arboretum, and iconic Biltmore Estate. Asheville is also home to an impressive number of award-winning restaurants and breweries that you can sample in between all your activities. You're also sure to find a souvenir to remind you of your time by the lake in the mountains at one of the unique boutiques or novelty shops!

Please Note: This home is NOT pet-friendly. This home is lakefront and offers its own private dock on Lake James to enjoy. The tub in the primary bedroom is usable, but the jets do NOT work.

Relax in Style

Large kitchen. Plenty of room and amenities for rainy day entertainment. Theater downstairs is nice and comfortable. Clean. Accommodating for large groups. Our teenage kids had a couple friends join us and we peaked at eleven people in the house. There was still plenty of room. Quiet cove great for swimming. Boat rental a must. We had a blast!

Everything you Need at a Lakefront Retreat

This was the perfect home away for our family. Most of our time was spent in and around the water. The house has everything you need – kayaks (included), pontoon boat (available from home owner as additional charge), as well as jet skis (from marina about 3 miles away). House has home theater, board games, pool table as well as foosball table. Beautiful kitchen and dining area. Hiking and good dining nearby. Highly recommended. A++.

Rent the boat

This is the second year we've stayed here. It works out great for our extended family gathering. Nearby mountain biking trails, state park, waterfall hikes, tennis, and more were all enjoyed, but the highlight each day was taking the pontoon boat out for an after dinner cruise to watch the sun set.
