About this property
Lakefront Home, Hot tub, Fire Pit, Games, & Movie Room!
Welcome to our Lake James retreat - where every detail allows for connection, joy, and unforgettable moments for your family and friends! Tucked into a peaceful cove at one end of the lake, it has one of the easiest water access on the Lake James shoreline. No endless staircases or tricky descents to the waterfront - just a gentle stroll across the wide grassy lawn to your private dock. Just 10 minutes to Marion, 45 minutes to Asheville, and less than 2 hours to Charlotte or to Winston-Salem.
*Perfect for Multi-Generational and Multi-Family Gatherings*
This is a home where grandparents, parents, kids, and friends can all stay comfortably. With generous bedrooms and spacious common areas, there’s room to spread out - and plenty of spaces to come together

*Beyond the Water*
Lake James delivers year-round experiences: enjoy spring wildflowers and hiking, summer boating, swimming, and fishing, fall’s vibrant foliage with scenic trails, and winter festivals, cozy evenings, and hot tub relaxation.
