Wonderful spot for our family. Swim out from the dock and you’ll see Short Off.Lake water so clear. House and amenities were wonderful along with communication of the property manager.We had a lovely 4th at Lake James!10/10 rating
Great Location a lot of steps. But we were told in advance . Views are great perfect time of the year . Wish the grill was working the grill is non-usable due to its condition. So don't plan on grilling unless they replace it . appliances are very used and worn out and need to be replaced, but everything worked..

Thank you so much for staying with us and for taking the time to share your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the views and that the location worked well for your visit. I'm sorry to hear the grill wasn't in usable condition! This hadn't been reported by any previous guests, and I wish I had known during your stay, as I would have been happy to have it looked at right away. We'll be inspecting it and making sure it's in proper working order. We also appreciate your notes on the appliances and will keep that in mind as we plan future updates. We'd love to host you again!
This property was perfect for our family. Plenty of room, great location with view of the lake, well maintained. This was our second stay at this property, and we would highly recommend it!
Our stay was great. Everything was as advertised and the agent made everything easy. We had everything we needed and more! We will absolutely stay here again.

Great stay on Lake James. The house was perfect for us with a wonderful host. We had meals on the deck every day and enjoyed the dock with kayaks to make our way around the lake. Guide book with all we could ask for in terms of recommendations and easy to get what we needed. Overall wonderful vacation.

This was a great location for a relaxing week prior to our scheduled move from one house to another. We enjoyed just floating in the lake in the morning and afternoon. Great house with ample amenities!

The Lake James home was perfect for our 4 day stay. The hiking in the state park was so close and so beautiful, even in December. While we didn’t use the lake, we appreciated the lake views from the home’s living areas and 2 bedrooms.We would love to come back when the weather is warm!

Our family of 6 adults spent a wonderful Thanksgiving week here. We loved the view, dock, deck off the living space & beautiful house. All 6 of us "work from home" so appreciated the 2 levels, extra downstairs office & 2 living rooms. The house is clean & well appointed. Our family greatly appreciated having the bike/hiking trails near the house. If you are a cook then you will find the kitchen a little small for 6 adults but not much of a drawback. We would definitely rent this home again.

Thank you for staying in our home! We are happy that you enjoyed your visit and welcome you to return anytime! Karen
This house and location was amazing!! It was very spacious!! It has 3 bedrooms downstairs and the master on the main level. Plenty of space for everyone. The lake was beautiful. There were kayaks for use, and the kids loved the slide on the dock. We rented a pontoon boat for the week, and were able to keep it at the dock at the house. There was fresh kettle corn and muffins upon arrival. The kitchen had everything needed to cook every meal, and also a grill to use on the deck. The host was available to answer any questions that we had and gave us a list of activities in the area. We would definitely stay here again!! Our family can’t wait to go back!!

The house was great for our family of 6. Spacious and comfortable. There were plenty of cozy blankets and games for a rainy day, but the dock with the slide was the kid’s favorite. They spend the entire time fishing off the dock and sliding into the lake! There are 3 bedrooms downstairs for the kids with a full bath, and the master suite upstairs was quite large. We found everything we needed in the kitchen. The host was amazing! We checked in to find homemade muffins and kettle corn - which the kids devoured and fought over the last one! There was a binder with plenty of suggestions for things to do. It was raining quite a bit during our stay, so we found a pamphlet for the Linville Caverns not too far away and the kids were absolutely amazed. It was cool to show them what the inside of a mountain looks like. The boys are fascinated by rocks, so that earned major points for mom & dad! The lake is so clean and beautiful- it’s one of our very favorite places to go. My husband is a fishing fanatic and he was able to catch a few bluegill and smallmouth bass and a catfish or 2. It was a wonderful time for our family despite being rained out almost the whole weekend. We got to enjoy the inside snuggled up watching tv with the kids. We made some great memories there and we are sure to go back again. I definitely recommend this house for an enjoyable weekend on the lake !!!!

Thank-you for staying with us! I am glad that you had a good weekend and enjoyed our home and lovely lake. There is so much to do here and lots of outdoor activities to enjoy. Please come back anytime! Karen
Overall this was a very nice place for my family to stay. The one negative I will say is the beds were not very comfortable and we found them very firm.
