About this property

Easy Lakefront Access w/Dock, Firepit, & Mtn Views for Family Fun!



Fantastic lake and mountain views with a level walk to the water make this the summer place to enjoy family and friends! Private lakefront home in a gated community offering a comfy upscale lodge atmosphere with great views from inside and out. Easy walk out to enjoy the fire pit and private dock. Spend time on the deck or under the covered seating areas.
Water equipment is included for family fun: paddleboards, canoe, and paddleboat. Boat rentals are available on Lake james and the host can provide that information if needed. Boat trailers are not allowed to be parked in the driveways, if you bring a boat, you will need to secure off site parking. The manager can send you information on a location and costs. Hot tub not open or available.

The layout is great for larger families, or 2 families coming together to visit. The main level has plenty of entertaining space with a large beamed living room with lovely views of the lake and fireplace, on either side of the living room is even more space to spread out. The large kitchen has a round dining table and also a bar. Great for preparing meals and just hanging out to play games and talk. On the other side is the sun room with lots of cozy seating and TV for movie night. The master bedroom and bath are on the main level, along with a half bath off the entry and kitchen.

The upper level offers 3 more bedrooms, each with their own attached baths. Everyone gets their own space here!

On the wing off the kitchen is another small sitting area, the laundry room which has a double stack and another half bath. Take the stairs from here up to the bunk room, which the kids will love! There are 4 sets of bunks (2 twin and 2 double), a sitting area with TV, and a large bath. You may never see them again.

If you are looking for the best spot to lounge and enjoy the lake views, check out our renovated addition with folding patio doors, kitchen, and additional outdoor patio.

We have Direct TV on some of the TVs and others are connected to WIFI for your streaming apps. The Network and password are located on the modem and posted in the home.

I am sure that you will be spending most of your time outside enjoying the views and water, but we have plenty of space for everyone to feel at home. There is also a small putting green out front, and a basketball goal.

We are located in the Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and close to Pisgah National Forest, so you are lucky to be surrounded by mountains and water. The closest town is Marion on the McDowell side, and the City of Morganton on the Burke side. Both are up and coming with an active downtown where you can enjoy local shops, dining, breweries and wine shops. Other area attractions include: Biltmore House, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls, Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk are just an hour away. Our area is also becoming famous for hiking trails such as the Fonta Flora Trail that will one day cover Lake James, Nebo, and into the Asheville area. Ask the host about more things to see and do.

Just in case you need to know, there are 2 major airports nearby. Asheville is 45 mins away and Charlotte is 75 mins.
Our area also has affiliations with 2 hospital systems, UNC Healthcare on the Burke side, and Mission Health on the McDowell side.

We are in a private gated community and all owners and guests are expected to follow the rules below:
1- No loud noise disturbances
2- No vehicles parked on the sides of the street or curbs
3- No fireworks
4- No groups that exceed the septic permit (10 in this case)
5- You must observe the no wake zones inside coves
6- You must observe the speed limits posted

PLEASE BE SURE TO READ ALL HOUSE RULES AND LOOK OVER THE VACATION AGREEMENT BEFORE BOOKING. MIN AGE REQUIRED AND BOOKING PARTY MUST SUBMIT ALL CONTACT INFORMATION WHICH INCLUDES MAILING ADDRESS.

Relaxing time at the lake

This property is outstanding and truly well stocked. We loved that each bedroom had an adjacent bathroom, in addition to multiple communal restrooms. We spent most of our time on the covered patio when we were not on the boat. The dock was fun to jump off and swim around- we also enjoyed the provided paddle boards. Many properties require extensive steps to access the lake however this location was extremely easy to access the water. Communication with property management was always timely. I had many questions ahead of time and each was carefully answered. We saw deer every morning and afternoon which was always an exciting adventure. We would love to return to this property for another lake trip!

Luxury at the Lake

The week we spent at this property on Lake James will be one that our family remembers forever. The house is simply spectacular. Around every corner you will find a new and even more luxurious space to relax in. The outside, if possible, is even more breathtaking with stunning views of Lake James and the surrounding mountains. Directly across from the dock is an undeveloped island which just adds to the peacefulness. Our days were filled with waking up early to watch the sunrise, swimming and boating on pristine Lake James, exploring nearby Ashville and eating dinner and making s'mores around the fire pit. I have an 18 and 21 year-old and I was a little concerned that they might get a bit bored as the week went on but both of them said it was one of their favorite trips ever. We all left fully relaxed and excited to visit again. The management company was also extremely responsive to any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Great week at the lake

We really enjoyed our time at the Lake House. There was plenty of room for our party of 11, ranging in age from 5-72! The view was the best in the lake. There were plenty of water toys to keep us busy. Highly recommend!

Lake James Lodge

The house is quite accommodating with every bedroom having it’s own on-suite. The bunk room has 8 beds along with its own tv area and bathroom. The garage has been converted into its own lounge area with a full kitchen and tv area with great views of the lake. Going down to the lake was an easy walk and having the jet ski ramps was perfect for us. There are tvs in every bedroom and social area you can imagine. Bonus was the big screen tv in a separate lounge area off the main family room that we used as a movie theater. There are also three full size refrigerators with ice makers and a bar fridge and wine cooler in the family room. We will definitely rent here again if we vacation on Lake James in the future.

Pretty Perfect! You won't be disappointed!

We had a group of 9 adults and 2 children (under the age of 5) stay at this amazing lake house. It never felt crowded and everyone had their own space and bathroom. It's rare to find all bedrooms having their own ensuite bathroom. This place was pretty perfect for us. Easy access to the dock, and we spent many hours wading in the lake with the many floatation devices that the house comes with. The A/C worked perfectly for such a big property. The grounds are beautiful and there is a lot of privacy. Karen was very responsive and helpful with all of our questions. We wanted a private chef to come in and cook a family meal for us and Karen came through with a recommendation. The private chef worked out perfectly! She even made a birthday cake for one of our guests. The 2 fridges in the house was definitely needed and used. We kept drinks in one fridge and food in the other. So many kitchen amenities! Coffee makers (drip and Keurig), waffle maker, instant pot, cake mixer, 2 ovens (one convection/microwave combo), microwave, 5-burner stove, instant hot water dispenser at the kitchen sink, toaster oven, wine fridge, smaller fridge with ice maker. You will definitely make great memories at this lake house! We hope to return every year. TIPS: Body wash and shampoo not provided so bring your own. Pick up extra paper towels/napkins, and toilet paper on your way in. We also brought paper plates so we wouldn't be washing dishes all the time :-).

Lake Front

The place looked very beautiful on the outside. Our view was amazing! All that being sad, I think there are some things that could be better. The master smelled awful, even the comforter. There was a cigarette smell. The toilet in the master smelled of body odor. Also in the master, the tv will not connect to the WiFi. We tried everything. A good amount of the lightbulbs were burned out. There are hardly any light near the fireplace and on the deck. We were unable to visit either of those spots when it got dark. I think it may be time to get new towels Even after washing them, they smelled of mildew. Hardly any of the showers doors worked. The light is out in the master shower, so you can’t see much. The water on the refrigerator doesn’t work, and the ice is a little gross I guess these are just some things that need to be worked out..especially for the amount of money we paid. I’m so sorry for all the bad news, but we still had the best time.

Spring Break Vacation

Great property with an amazing view and a desireable location. The newly refurbished dock was very accessible and allowed my small children and elderly parents to easily access to our boat. The bunk room was great for the kids and we enjoyed sitting by the fireplace each night. Our four children were not happy about not having access to the hot tub but this property had a ton of amenities. Would highly recommend this property!

Fantastic Experience!

We absolutely loved our stay. In fact, we loved it so much we extended our reservation. The house is beautiful and located on a gorgeous part of Lake James. The easy walk from the house down to the lake was especially nice given you almost have to be a mountain goat to get to some of the houses on the lake from their docks. We'll definitely be back!!!

Great for Families

The layout and location of this home is perfect for families! We had two families there, including seven children, ages 2-8. Plenty of room, especially with the bunk room, two fridges, separate TV room, large deck, etc. Loved being right on the lake and that it wasn't a steep drop down to the dock. I will say that the deck and dock need to be replaced/repaired. One of the boards busted through when we were standing on it. And the bridge to the dock was a little nerve wracking with young children; the openings on the sides were very large and someone could have easily fallen through.
