Property was excellent. It was very quiet and peaceful and exactly what we were looking for. Location was close to good restaurants. The dock was extra nice for a little fishing and reading. We had no problems with host - they did a perfect job of preparing us and therefore we did not need them once during the trip. Overall a very nice stay and we would certainly book again.

The lakehouse was exactly as represented. It was clean and well equipped. We spent a lot of time on the dock and on the deck overlooking the cove.The location was ideal for us. On the water, close to town, and very accessible to the state park, hiking/biking trails, golf and other amenities.

What a gem of a place on this beautiful quiet lake. The lake house was absolutely perfect for our crew. Clean and well equipped with all the essentials and some amazing extras for the kids with the game room upstairs. We enjoyed the kayak and stand up paddle board down at the dock on the days it was warm.

Wonderful stay, fully equipped with everything our family needed for a fun vacation at the lake. We appreciated all the thoughtful touches - fully stocked kitchen, many life jackets, water floats and boats, etc. And the kids loved having their own loft space upstairs. Next time we'll plan a ping pong ball tournament!

We really enjoyed our stay on this property. Perfect location right on Lake James. Very quite and safe neighborhood. My little ones really enjoyed the size of the property as well as catching Largemouth Bass and Black Spotted Sunfish. Highly recommend for anyone wanting peace and quiet by the water.
