Loving Lake Life - Waterfront Home on Lake James with Dock!

Our home sits waterfront with a short stone path walk to the water and private dock!

As you walk into the great room, the kitchen shines with new appliances, a huge marble topped island with seating for 6 and is fully stocked if you choose to cook! The living room has a cute built in electric fireplace below the tv and triple sliding doors that look out to the lake. Those triple sliding doors take you to the back porch with a dining area, comfy porch furniture and tv, plus the beautiful view of the lake! The primary bedroom has its own door to the back deck and a full private bath with tile shower. The second bedroom has a door to the second full bathroom. Upstairs you will find a large open common area with a desk, a game console (with Galaga, Pac Man and more!), a ping pong table, a tv area and two additional twin beds.

After you enter the gated subdivision where our home is located, you will pass the Fonta Flora Trail and see the signs to the public cove beach only accessible by trail or our community! The Fonta Flora Trail has about 16 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails that weave through the woods and past multiple lake overlooks. It can be accessed by a short walk from the house!

Our dock is located in a quiet cove perfect for boating, swimming or fishing! It has hammock swings, chairs for relaxing, 2 paddle boards, 2 kayaks and lifejackets for you to come and enjoy! Reading a book, fishing or watching for the kingfisher are all great ways to use the dock! You are welcome to bring your own boat and tie it up to the side of the dock for use during your stay! (Note - the two jetskis are not for guest use - sorry!). After you leave our wake free cove you can explore all of Lake James, enjoy water sports like skiing and wakeboarding, or just take a leisurely stroll to enjoy the pristine mountain views from the lake! Lake James is the cleanest lake in North Carolina!

We are located only a few miles from the Linville Gorge wilderness area and the public boat ramp at Linville Access! Lake James has 150 miles of shoreline with around 30% belonging to the Lake James State Park. Osprey, eagles and many other animals can be viewed and call our lake home!

With abounding porches, sleeping for 6 and the water toys included, come relax today! Guests stay on the second and third level of our house! The bottom level is owner's quarters. If you are interested in bringing the inlaws or a second family, please reach out for info on renting this additional space. The bottom floor has an additional 2 bedrooms (queen and two twins - sleeps 4), bath, living and dining area with a kitchenette. Don't worry - no one but your group will be on premises!

Perfect lake house!!
This house was just perfect for us. There was so much for the boys to do between the game room, upstairs, kayaking on the lake, and exploring the local trails, just steps from the front door. We enjoyed everything this house had to offer inside and out. The owners are also very responsive, and wonderful to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful Tranquility by the Lake
Wonderful lake house, with very easy access to the lake just steps away. House is new, with plenty of activities to do inside and outside. Very safe, quiet neighborhood. Supermarkets and restaurants just 15 mins away. If you want to have a relaxing time with nature by the lake, this is definitely a great place to stay.

Perfect lake retreat
Everything was perfect. It is a beautiful home and very clean. We could have not asked for anything more. The location in the cove on the lake was the best. You can swim right off the dock without fear of being run over by other boats. Also, the cove is perfect for kayaking or paddle boards. Communication with the owner was easy although not much was necessary since everything was perfect. We are already looking at the calendar for next year!

Great rental
The home was new, clean, and in a nice area of Lake James. The kitchen was well-stocked and the home had great amenities. It was an easy walk to the dock and we and our teen sons loved the kayaks and SUP boards. The only issue was that it was hard to dock our boat. We had to take down the bimini each time we pulled up to the dock. But, it was doable and did not interfere with the enjoyment of the vacation.

Great week-long stay in July
Everything about the stay here was easy...checking-in, accessing the lake/dock, getting questions answered timely from the owner, getting to the grocery stores and restaurants, and checking out. House was comfortable and an adequate size for our group of 4 adults. Nice outdoor covered deck with TV for viewing. We enjoyed kayaking every day and although we brought our own life jackets, there were plenty available in all sizes to use if needed. The neighborhood was very quiet, even on the weekend, which we liked. We would rent here again.

Perfect place!
One of our favorite VRBO experiences! Super easy communication with property manager. House is brand new with great amenities. Super quite neighborhood. The dock was a great asset, we kept our boat there. There was kayaks and life jackets available for the guests. The ping pong table was a huge hit with our family. Already looking for dates to stay in this rental again!!! Highly recommend
