Beautiful, peaceful, relaxing. The accommodations were excellent with access to a private dock and kayaks! Swimming in Lake James was refreshing with beautiful views of the mountains. Linville winery nearby was also wonderful.

The Sail Away Suite is a thoughtfully appointed large suite with everything one needs to enjoy this stunning lakeside location. It was immaculate and well-stocked with all we needed to prepare our meals…and we loved the little balcony for our morning coffee. The best part of staying here is the lake itself which us beautiful. The dock allows for swimming, kayaking, relaxing in the sun, and stargazing at night. We also loved having a fire in the fire pit one night. Sail Away Suite is a gem.

Nice efficiency above the garage of a beautiful lake house in a gated community. I had everything I needed in the efficiency. I enjoyed use of the kayaks and the dock.

This apartment was clean and tidy. There were sufficient utensils/pans to do basic cooking. The owners allow use of kayaks, the dock and the firepit all of which were a great asset to the holiday. Such a quiet place to stay and great night skies when clear. Beautiful watching sunrise over the lake. Stunning location.

Beautiful property

We stayed 2 nights for our anniversary and it was amazing! The guest house is beautiful and looks brand new. The property outside is gorgeous! We really enjoyed taking the kayaks out on the water for most the day. When we were not kayaking we swam off the dock . The water off the dock is super deep and so clean it was just unlike any lake we have been to before.

Very clean and well decorated studio apartment on a beautiful peninsula on Lake James. Location is great. Kayaks available for use. We sat on the dock and had coffee in the morning.Only negative was a very large security deposit (2X the 3 days rental) held by the owner. As of this writing, I haven't gotten it back. We left the place spotless, and I expect to get it all back - just noting it was disproportionately large and return timing is unknown.

Thank you so much for the kind words about the apartment, location, and kayaks — we're so glad you enjoyed your mornings on the dock! We wanted to clarify the security deposit for you and anyone reading: VRBO offers two options at booking — a non-refundable $59 damage protection plan through their insurance company, or a refundable $1,500 deposit, also handled entirely by VRBO's insurance company. The amount and structure are set by VRBO's guidelines, so unfortunately we don't have the ability to lower the pricing on either option. Importantly, the funds never pass through us — they go directly to and are managed by VRBO's insurance company, who typically processes refunds within a few days of checkout. We have not filed any damage claim, as you left the place in absolutely spotless condition, and we truly appreciate that! Hopefully this explanation put your mind at ease! We hope to welcome you back to Lake James soon.

Loved this place! Everything was better than described! Beautiful home on beautiful property on beautiful lake! Lots of extras that made our stay even more special - access to fire pit with starters! Gas grill! kayaks! Landing downstairs so we didn’t have to haul everything upstairs. Don’t hesitate to book this gem - we will be back!!!
