We had a wonderful long weekend at this lakefront VRBO! The cabin was cozy, clean, and just the right size for our family of three. The bear-themed decor was charming without being overdone. We loved swimming in the lake, and the outdoor area with the fireplace and beach was perfect for relaxing and having fun. The paddle boat was a great touch, keeping us entertained all weekend. Highly recommend this spot for a family getaway!

Wonderful place to stay!!!

We loved staying here! There are so many nice outdoor areas to enjoy .... the porch is so cozy, the beach is wonderful - especially for our dog, and sitting on the dock first thing in the morning having coffee was so relaxing. Loved all the outdoor string lights at night and having a fire in the fire pit!

Truly enjoyed our stay. Mother and daughter trip. Fabulous location, very clean and excellent amenities! The sandy beach area was a huge plus. Easy to get boat, paddle boards and kayaks in and out of the water. Communication was responsive and quick. Highly recommend this property.

Wonderful

We had such an amazing stay at the cabin. The private beach with the paddle boards and floats was so relaxing and very quiet. Had two young kids that enjoyed the swing and did marshmallows around the fire a couple of nights. In the last morning woke up early and there was a little deer in the front yard. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will definitely be returning.

Loved, loved, loved this cabin! The view from the property is absolutely beautiful! The outdoor space is second to none. We got to meet Kimberly when we arrived and she was just lovely. We were able to enjoy the outdoors even during the rain with the lovely covered front porch. The beach area was a great place to play and to relax in the shade. There is too much to say, but you will not be disappointed! This is a great place for a getaway for 2. Definitely recommend!

We stayed over Labor Day weekend and absolutely LOVED this property. As described the cabin is small but very cozy! Just perfect for the 2 of us and our dogs. Anything you need is provided. I have to say the private beach is one of a kind. All kinds of water toys and I used the paddle boards for the very first time. We will definitely be back’ Thank you Kimberly for everything

Lake James Beauty

This tiny cabin is adorable and perfect for 2 adults. What a great location for water fun and mountain hiking. We would come again:). I’m not sure how 6 people would do, perhaps if 4 are small children. Note that the loft is not big enough for an adult to sit up. This did not matter for us. We loved this cabin.

Unpretentious Lake Vacay

The host for this property is outstanding. She was communicative and accommodating to our needs. The lake part of this property is unmatched. You won’t be disappointed by the private beach and dock, water toys, and views. The one drawback is the size of the sleeping quarters. I believe the listing says it can sleep 6. I would say it can sleep two adults and two small children. If you’re a couple or small family you’ll love this property. We enjoyed our stay with two adults and our pup.

She responds quickly to any concerns and keeps the place clean, well prepared, and stocked with everything you need. The sunsets were beautiful, and the cabin is so quiet and relaxing, t’s also very easy to access groceries the supermarket is about five miles up the road, and there are pharmacies, restaurants, and other stores nearby as well. we absolutely love it!
