Escape to the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains on beautiful Lake James! A stream fed lake which is nestled against Pisgah National Forest and the Linville Gorge area. Perfect getaway to swim, kayak, canoe, fish, boat, hike, bicycle, and explore the nearby mountains. Our home offers a quiet retreat to relax with comfy surroundings and spread out on our 2 decks off the kitchen and living area, or the 3rd deck down by the private covered dock. Enjoy beautiful sunsets by the lake and morning coffee on the deck swing. Morganton is just a 15min drive away and offers a variety of specialty shops as well as restaurants, and breweries, movie theatre, zip lining, and a trail system along the Catawba River. Water equipment, boat and ski jet rentals are available on this lake. We do have 2 kayaks, and a row boat for our guests to use onsite. There are 2 private bedrooms and a loft sleeping area with 2 bunks to sleep 6 people. The hall bath is for the 2nd bedroom and loft, and the master has the washer and dryer hookup. A gas grill is included on the lower section of decking. Just bring your swim suit and sunscreen and jump right in! SORRY, WE ARE NOT PET FRIENDLY DUE TO ASTHMA.
