About this property
Calm Water Cove | Private Dock on Lake James, Game Room, Fire Pit & Spa Suite — Dogs Welcome!
Escape to Calm Water Cove, nestled near the shores of Lake James, where mountain-lake living meets refined comfort. Whether you're unwinding by the wood-burning fire pit under a canopy of stars or spending the day out on the water, this home delivers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Dogs welcome. Memories guaranteed.
The Dock & Outdoors Your private two-level dock awaits just 0.3 miles from the house! Whether walking or driving, the short journey allows for a personal gateway to one of WNC's most pristine lakes. Back at the house, a fully fenced backyard offers a haven for your four-legged family members (up to two dogs welcome), while the wood-burning fire pit sets the scene for unforgettable evenings gathered around the flames.
Main Floor — Primary Suite The main floor primary suite is a true sanctuary. A generous king-size bed anchors the space, complemented by a dedicated seating area perfect for morning coffee or a quiet read. The en suite bathroom is nothing short of spectacular — a floating vanity, elegantly backlit mirrors, and a show-stopping wet room featuring a deep soaking tub and floor-to-ceiling waterfall shower make every morning feel like a spa day.
Upper Loft — Games, Gathering & Guest Rooms Head upstairs to the open loft, where a foosball table and laid-back game room vibe make it the natural hub for friendly competition and evening laughs. Two well-appointed queen bedrooms share a beautifully finished bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower and lighted vanity — thoughtfully designed with guests in mind.

Important Information to Highlight The private dock is located 0.3 miles from the house at the end of a short single-lane road.

This house is dog-friendly, with a $100.00 non-refundable fee per dog (maximum of two). Sorry, this home is not cat-friendly due to common allergies.
