Loving Lake Life is nestled in a gated community, right on the shores of Lake James! Our nearly new home comfortably sleeps 6 across the two main levels, with the option to rent the owner's quarters for an additional 4 guests. Enjoy relaxing on the beautiful porches, unwind in the game room, and take full advantage of the dock and all the water toys waiting for you! We’re thrilled to share our space for unforgettable times in this peaceful lakeside retreat. As you step into the great room, the kitchen immediately catches your eye with its sleek new appliances and a spacious marble-topped island with seating for six. It's fully stocked for those who enjoy cooking! The living room features a built-in electric fireplace beneath the TV and triple sliding doors that open to stunning lake views. These triple sliding doors lead to the back porch, where you'll find a dining area, comfortable seating, and a TV, all framed by the picturesque view of the lake. The primary bedroom offers direct access to the back deck and includes a private bathroom with a tile shower. The second bedroom has access to the second full bathroom. Upstairs, a large open common area awaits, complete with a desk, a game console featuring classics like Galaga and Pac Man, a ping pong table, a cozy TV area, and two additional twin beds. With multiple porches, ample sleeping space for six, and plenty of water toys, it's the perfect spot to unwind and relax! Once you enter the gated subdivision where our home is located, you'll pass the Fonta Flora Trail and spot signs leading to the public cove beach, accessible only by trail or our community! The Fonta Flora Trail offers about 16 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails, winding through the woods and providing scenic lake overlooks. It's just a short walk from the house! Our dock sits in a peaceful cove, ideal for boating, swimming, or fishing. It features hammock swings, chairs for relaxing, two paddleboards, two kayaks, and lifejackets – all for your enjoyment! Whether you're reading a book, fishing, or watching for kingfishers, the dock is the perfect spot to unwind. Feel free to bring your own boat and tie it up to the side of the dock for use during your stay (please note, the two jetskis are not for guest use). Once you leave our calm, wake-free cove, you can explore all of Lake James, try water sports like skiing or wakeboarding, or simply take a leisurely cruise to enjoy the breathtaking mountain views from the water. Lake James is the cleanest lake in North Carolina! We're just a few miles from the Linville Gorge wilderness area and the public boat ramp at Linville Access. Lake James boasts 150 miles of shoreline, with around 30% of it belonging to Lake James State Park. The lake is home to ospreys, eagles, and many other wildlife species that you can spot during your stay! Guests stay on the second and third levels of the house, while the bottom level is reserved for the owner's quarters. If you're interested in bringing additional guests, such as in-laws or a second family, please reach out for information on renting the extra space. The bottom floor includes two bedrooms (one queen and two twins, sleeping four), a bath, living and dining areas, and a kitchenette. Don't worry – you'll have the entire property to yourselves, with no one else on the premises! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In the mountains - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Foosball table - Kayak - Table tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,080 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113840000/113839900/113839855/044adf8a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New Tiny Cabin in Morganton with Porch Bathtub close to Lake James Morganton - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-02&endDate=2026-02-03&selected=113839855&PinnedHotelID=113839855&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103070000/103067600/103067566/00c7b2b8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Secluded Cozy Cabin with Hot Tub Morganton - Air conditioning - Fireplace 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-02&endDate=2026-02-03&selected=103067566&PinnedHotelID=103067566&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100350000/100347000/100346962/7f9bab2c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peaceful, Cozy and Convenient Valdese - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 25 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-02&endDate=2026-02-03&selected=100346962&PinnedHotelID=100346962&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114570000/114568500/114568470/ff195842.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gated Community w/ Perks: North Carolina Hideaway Connellys Springs - Pool - Kitchen - Dryer - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-02&endDate=2026-02-03&selected=114568470&PinnedHotelID=114568470&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (5 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108010000/108002400/108002337/cc56d0c1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hot Tub + Game Room!

There was so much for the boys to do between the game room, upstairs, kayaking on the lake, and exploring the local trails, just steps from the front door. We enjoyed everything this house had to offer inside and out. The owners are also very responsive, and wonderful to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Kenneth L.

Upstairs area great for kids with ping pong and arcade.Fire pit very nice down by the lake and plenty of kindling for any fire! Corner store has wood that burns well. Kayaks and boards great for exploring! Everything you need in the boat house.Don't miss dinner at Bones Jones, if you're on the weekend, make sure to add your name to the wait list before going.A lot nearby, Fonta Flora trail with bridge by the boat launch, Wiseman's Overlook 50 minutes, Linville Falls 40 minutes, and Linville Falls Winery 45 minutes.

House was comfortable and an adequate size for our group of 4 adults. Nice outdoor covered deck with TV for viewing. We enjoyed kayaking every day and although we brought our own life jackets, there were plenty available in all sizes to use if needed. The neighborhood was very quiet, even on the weekend, which we liked. We would rent here again. ##### Maureen W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catina R.

We could have not asked for anything more. The location in the cove on the lake was the best. You can swim right off the dock without fear of being run over by other boats. Also, the cove is perfect for kayaking or paddle boards. Communication with the owner was easy although not much was necessary since everything was perfect. We are already looking at the calendar for next year! ##### Catina R. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rhonda R.

We had a wonderful time on the deck hanging out and swimming on the dock and just relaxing on the big blue pad! The kitchen was absolutely amazing and big enough to enjoy our family birthday lunch! We had some competitive late night games of ping pong and foosball and laughed at how fun it was. This was truly one of the BEST Family weekends we’ve had in a long time!

The kitchen was well-stocked and the home had great amenities. It was an easy walk to the dock and we and our teen sons loved the kayaks and SUP boards. The only issue was that it was hard to dock our boat. We had to take down the bimini each time we pulled up to the dock. But, it was doable and did not interfere with the enjoyment of the vacation. ##### Julie R. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer H. Jun 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property and location This was a perfect property for my family to enjoy lake activities (kayaks and paddle boards provided by hosts), hiking trails (a trailhead is just a few minutes walk from the house), and lakeside serenity. My family stayed in June 2024, with 3 generations represented. Everyone from my 3yo daughter to my 64yo father enjoyed getting out of the kayaks a d paddle boards, swimming in the lake, enjoying coffee and treats on the back porch, and playing ping pong and arcade games upstairs. As an added bonus, there's a small and historical graveyard on the street. We visited to pay our respects and had fun researching the family. We did have an unexpected snag with smoke detectors sounding in the middle of the night on our final night, but I was able to call and reach the host immediately (even at 3am) so we could resolve and get back to bed. Highly recommend, and I hope to return again to this property in the future! ##### Jennifer H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phil and Christie H.
