Cottage on beautiful Lake James

Location, location, location! Walking distance to restaurants and activities. On private lane leading to four corners, Paradise Cafe, Tom’s Donuts, The Corner Landing, The Waterfront Bistro, and more.

3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage on the second basin on Lake James. Sandy beach and dock. Fully furnished with cable TV, WIFI, A/C, washer and dryer. Front and back lot. Dock for boat, jet skis. Trailer can be stored on back lot. Plenty of parking spots.

Family neighborhood so tenants should be adult families, kids and relatives, friends. Not recommended for young people desiring loud partying. If you want to rent after Labor Day until Memorial Day contact land lord so special arrangements can be made.

Who’s got it better than you? Possibly no one if you rent this place!

Nice Cottage
The location is perfect, with a nice flat yard extending to the lake. If you like soft beds, you will love this cottage. The only problem we encountered was that the book listing all the details (garbage pickup day, instructions to operate TV, etc.) of the cottage was missing.

Great Beach
The property has a great beach and we ended up using the beach more than going out on our boat. It was a great place to bring our 14 month old Granddaughter. He had a great time.

This is the place to stay!!
Mike’s place was so cozy and comfortable. We had 6 older adults stay and it was perfect. The beach area right at the house is what drew me to book and it didn’t disappoint. The house was clean, spacious and the beds were very comfortable. We had a range of late 40 to early 60 age range staying and the small amount of stairs inside and outside were just perfect for us. Dock access and the amenities were icing on the cake! Mike was a great host and always available for questions! The easy access to restaurants and the marina for boat rental was perfection. We will be booking again next year. Thank you to Mike and your family for a great relaxing vacation!!!

Great vacation cottage
Great spot for family get togethers! Kids enjoyed playing in the sand and swimming on the beach, fishing is great off the pier, deck is large enough for everyone to be able to relax together and the location near restaurants is perfect. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Mike & Linda, for a memorable family vacation!

Dock Club
We love this cottage! And we’ve already reserved it again for next year! The location is perfect because we can walk to Toms, Club P, and all the other little shops/restaurants. We rented a pontoon and pulled it right up to our own dock. The little beach is great for the kids and the fire pit is a plus!

Our week on Lake James.
We loved the view of the lake. No steps was a plus! The beach area was super!! The tires on the side of the pier were especially helpful in securing our jet ski. Everything was very clean. The DVD player may need replacing soon as it tended to stall quite often. The location is terrific!!! Thank you Mike!

Come for the view!
The cottage was as described with a great view of the lake; boat traffic was enjoyable to watch as they came in and out of the channel. The property has a dock that you can easily dock your watercraft. The owner was very responsive and helpful to any questions or issues that came about. The location being close walking distance to the 4 corners and restaurants was a bonus to staying here. Thx again Mike.

Lake James Getaway
Wow!! We loved staying at Mike’s place. The views of the lake, boats and seaplanes were amazing as we sat outside on the deck! The cottage has a beautiful flat front yard and very little steps which was perfect for my older parents to join us. We rented a pontoon for the week and had our own dock. Being so close to Tom’s doughnuts, Club P and The Corner Lansing makes this place that much more special! I’m definitely coming back!

End of the boat season respite.
We thoroughly enjoyed the week at the lake. The cottage was just the right size for my wife and I and our mothers. Right during covid we had all our meals except one in the cabin. Having a place to dock the boat made ir easy to head in and out for the day on the lake. Parking for the boat trailer and truck was a bit tight but it all worked out well. We'd absolutely stay again.
