PRIVATE LAKEFRONT HOME
Experience the unmatched charm of this secluded lakefront escape, where a stately magnolia tree shades the private dock. Just a short 5-minute drive to the interstate and under 45 minutes to the vibrant city of Asheville, this expansive home comfortably welcomes your whole family or group. With a nearly level yard that gently meets the peaceful shoreline, it’s the perfect backdrop for every generation to relax, gather, and make lasting memories together.
The main level blends comfort and upscale charm, anchored by a spacious primary suite with a king bed and private en suite bath for ultimate relaxation. Just off the hallway, a second bedroom offers a queen bed with freshly provided linens (please note: towels are not provided). The open concept kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together, creating a warm and welcoming space perfect for gathering with family and friends.
Upstairs, the expansive loft is designed with fun and flexibility in mind, featuring two sets of bunk beds, two twin beds, and a trundle that sleeps two, plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Downstairs, the cozy den invites you to unwind with a fully stocked bar and seating for six. Enjoy Bluetooth connectivity for the receiver, a new stylus for the turntable, a pool table, generous seating, an additional bedroom with a full size bed, and a full bathroom for added convenience.
Step outside and take in stunning lake views from the oversized back deck, offering both covered and open air seating for up to 10 guests. The lower level poured patio provides even more space to relax, surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds. Gather around the fire pit for memorable evenings, challenge friends to a game of cornhole, or head to the water to enjoy the canoe, paddleboard, floats, two person kayak, and two single kayaks. This lakefront retreat is designed for making unforgettable memories.

We enjoyed the property.Great house for families.Manager and owners are great to work with.We had everything there we needed.We loved the lake and the dock area.Would love to visit again.Thank you for the memories!
We were there during the off-season. The view out to the lake was nice. The house is older and in need of some continued updates. Some things had been updated recently, but others still needed considerable work. There was also an unpleasant smell in the house because it hadn't been used in a while. The house was clean, and the beds were fresh and comfortable.
This is the perfect house for a family vacation on Lake James. The kitchen is well equipped. The top floor is perfect for a group of kids. We all loved the bottom floor pool table and record player. The dock it great to swim from and it located in a peaceful cove. This is our 3rd time staying here and plan to return every year.
Location exceptional and property is outstanding. Kitchen was well equipped, and beds were comfortable. Minor concerns about cleanliness and condition of stereo equipment. People with mobility issues need to be careful when using walkway to lake. Overall loved the experience.
We’ve always wanted to visit Lake James & it is a beautiful mountain lake. The home suited our needs well. Plenty of room to spread out. Loved the three decks. Thoughtful kitchen items, well stocked & organized. Wonderful landscaping. Boat dock was a little closer to neighbors than I prefer. All in all a great house for groups to enjoy.
We had 13 people ranging in age from 17 to 80 years old. Everyone had a bed and slept comfortably. The loft was perfect for all the “kids”. We enjoyed swimming from the dock every day!! The kayaks and paddle board were also a big hit. The kitchen was well stocked to prepare meals each night. We highly recommend this property, it’s quiet and the view was amazing!!!
We have never stayed at a property that had as much supplies as this one. So well equipped it was like home away from home. Lake area/cove is clean with excellent swimming for the kids. A little tight with neighbors docks but okay. House is large with plenty of space. The upstairs sleeping loft for kids was nice to have. House to water was not steep and easy to access.
The property is accessible to everything we needed (Food Lion/Dollar General/Pizza) great for a large family or two families with older teens. Our kids enjoyed playing pool, using the kayaks and SUP. The landscaping is stunning! We enjoyed the 4th of July, grilled out - there is a well equipped kitchen. Stopped by Bones Jones for a delicious meal and next time we’ll bring our pickleball paddle to reserve the courts around the corner. The water temperature was perfect for swimming/floating. Lake life is the best life.
Something for everyone in early August. Three adults and 3 kids 8, 5, 3. The lake toys - canoe, kayaks, paddleboard and noodles were awesome. We used everything -- the decks, rocking chairs, huge outdoor table, fire pit and Grill. The kitchen was so well equipped. We cooked every meal from scratch and had what we needed. Only flaw was the dishwasher which didn't always dispense the soap properly. We left a note about that. This is a particularly fabulous place for big families and groups of friends. Loved it!

No Smoking or Vape (even outside)
Let me start by stating the positives of the property its a nice size (ample beds).
the location is good.
The negatives
no smoking or vape anywhere on the property or you are threatened to be kicked out and lose your money. I don’t smoke personally, but we had a few people that do and they were having to walk in the rain to the street to smoke.
The neighbors are right on top of you on the dock and they aren’t very friendly (their dock is maybe 5-6ft away). The main issue with that is from the picture it looked like one of the boat bays were available, but we had to squeeze our boat between the 2 docks because there are now 2 boats (1 in each dock). Also there was no place to park a trailer because the best 2 spots for the trailers were taken by the owners trailers.
Beautiful home and landscaping with many flower beds Home came well stocked with everything you needGreat dock for swimming and fishing Kayaks and canoe available for your use This is am awesome place for families to stay
This is the fourth year my family stayed in this house. Age ranges from 17 to 83 and we all love it! It is perfect for families and is in a great cove for swimming. We’ll be back!
Great place for group get away with kids and adults, many spaces for fun and area has lots of things to do. Home is well supplied and host was great. Many memories!!
The house was clean and well maintained and the hosts provided everything you need to enjoy your stay! There is limited parking for both cars and your boat but it's doable!
Very nice property. Clean and Comfy. We really enjoyed being on the lake. Perfect for boating, fishing and it was nice to have canoe, paddleboard and kayaks. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous. Loved sitting on deck and looking out at them.
Great place to stay and play. Had everything you need. As per photos and info. 15 minutes to greenway in Morganton and close to Fonta Flora brewery and hiking trails!
Even though there are houses close by, it was quiet. We had a great getaway, 4 kids and 6 adults. The kids all shared the bunkbed room which is the third floor. Had everything we needed.
House was just as described we were pleasantly surprised by all the fun decor around the house. Our kids enjoyed fishing playing in the lake and afternoon fires. The property is located right by the Fonta Flora trail head which we took full advantage of exploring.
