What an amazing time we had at this home on the Lake! This was a return visit to the lake for us and this spot is definitely amazing. It feels like you are staying at a relatives home, not a home of someone you never met. From the humming birds on the porch greeting us as we arrived and throughout our stay, to the sprawling mountain view, the well equipped kitchen(s) (best we've experienced) to the outstanding home layout, this place will wow you from the moment you arrive. The home furnishings are well kept, and you can see the owners pride and personality in their home. The neighbors are very friendly and respectful, and although the cove is active during the day (by the few residents there are), it quiets quickly at night to enjoy the serene view and stillness of the area. The beds were very comfortable and the bedrooms were an amazing size and well staged. The decline to the dock is typical of the mountainous area, but the concrete pathway allows for a you to take your time. We rented a boat from a nearby company and were able to explore the lake (which is a MUST, if you can!), it is the cleanest, most comfortable in temperature and gorgeous lake we have seen (hence our return visit to the area) and this home frames it perfectly. The driveway is steep (we were there in the summer, so no worries here, but during bad/icy weather I can imagine it might be an issue) Morning coffee on one of the two porches, or down by the dock were a highlight, each day. I would advise you to bring as many of your groceries with you when you arrive (there are some items left, but we did and typically bring all items we need) for two reasons. One, the store is a little bit away (only about 10 minutes to a locally owned grocery, 20 minutes to the larger ones) and two, you will want to spend all the time possible at the home once you arrive, not shopping. The property manager was very quick in responding to the very minimal question(s) we had, and even personally came by when we needed help finding something! Their service was outstanding. We would absolutely recommend this home and the management company for your visit to lake James (although were hoping to selfishly keep it a bit of a hidden secret gem!) If you have the chance to experience this property, it will leave you with lasting memories, as it did us. Enjoy!
