We had a very quiet and relaxing weekend. More than enough cooking utensils and even sharp knives.

Great location, great views, fun family dock, responsive hosts enjoyed the kayaks and the lily pad and fire pit. Downstairs fridge was a nice surprise since we had a young family down there. We were amazed at how soundproofed it seemed. We didn’t hear our 6 month old grand daughter in the middle of the night. The upper deck was great, nice and wide and plenty of room for kids to play. Challenges: we expected the steps down to the dock given it is a mountain lake home. The drop off in the yard with no fence gave us anxiety with kids. We had planned on using the hammock area, but needed some TLC still after Helene. Also - internet - if you’re planning on working remotely, make sure you have a Plan B.We had great family time.

Lake James water ski vacation
Another great year at the lake. Love the dock and the available slip for our boat. Plenty of room in the house. Great views. Our only issue is the kitchen. The cabinets and drawers are quite small and all the pots and pans are piled beneath the island. After a week, the stools around the island leave you wanting a regular chair to sit and eat. Relatively minor in the grand scheme of things and we try to maximize our time on the water while there. Thanks for having us.

Our stay was great. The property was just as advertised. I would say a little more hilly than I was expecting but nothing unusual for the area. The rooms were large and roomy and the beds and bedding comfortable. Certainly more than enough room for me, three of my adult kids and their significant others. Funny story, it took a whole to find the pots and pans but...that will live in family tales forever. My only advice is make sure and bring personal grooming needs: no shampoo/conditioner, no bar soap, one roll of tp for each room one roll of paper towels, and three garbage bags.... but that is very minor for how wonderful the place is and the view, and the peace and quiet.

Great Getaway!
What a great neighborhood and comfortable home for our annual reunion of 4 friends! Very private with terrific views of the lake. Spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds. We loved the exterior spaces...porches on both levels, with the bottom level protected from rain, firepit, and a two-story dock. Well-equipped kitchen, refrigerators on both levels, TVs for everyone!. Immediate response when host was notified of special lightbulbs needing replacement. Excellent experience!

Amazing lake
We had a blast starting each morning fishing on the lake and ending the day by the fire pit. Lots of wildlife and not far from grocery store or food.
