Visited home on Memorial Day weekend. Cannot say enough great things.
Location: Lake James is very large, deep lake, but with state park and camping facilities on a large portion, the houses are limited compared to other lakes and crowds are very light. Easy to reach just a few miles off highway.
House: One of the best stocked houses ever stayed in with almost anything you could need. Very comfortably housed 2 families of 5 in 4 bedrooms. Fully stocked kitchen, games, bedrooms. Outdoor fireplace on a turf grass backyard with large wood storage. Expansive outdoor deck with ample seating and a covered porch with pool table. High up on cliff overlooking beautiful section of lake.
Activities: Long stairway down to dock area. May be difficult for anyone with challenges walking up stairs. Paddle Boards, Kayaks, extra seating, diving board and slide all on dock provided hours of fund. Owner will rent personal boat / jet ski to guests only for additional fee (docked right at house).
Already looking into booking again. Spent most of the time on lake, but drove 25 min to Linville Wilderness area for hiking and stopped at Fonta Flora brewery and farm on way back.
Keep the lake a secret as long as can.
