Lakefront Home, Hot tub, Fire Pit, Game Room, & 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.
