There was a bedroom for everyone, so we didn't feel crowded or cramped. The main floor was spacious with an open floor plan. We really enjoyed sitting on the screened-in porch in the evenings. The home is located right next to the community pool, which was very convenient for our family. The lake is great too; clean water, deep enough for the kids to jump off the dock, and the area was quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Ashley H.

Stayed 5 days at Newman's Nook with an extended family of 9\. Quiet but fun area, lots to explore locally for all ages. We rented a boat and tubed for 2 days, hiked Linville Gorge, toured the Biltmore and Blue Ridge Parkway to Mt. Mitchell and whitewater rafted in Bryson City. Excellent area for families and outdoor stuff. Enjoyed the pool next door also. Home was impeccably clean and well appointed. Highly recommend. ##### Dave F.

I vacationed with my son’s family of 5 and my daughter’s family of 5 and we had a fantastic time. Lots of space for everyone, house is immaculate with the most beautiful views of the lake. We brought our boat and the host was very helpful and accommodating in helping find a great secure place to park our boat trailer for the week. The community pool and fire pit right next door were a great addition that the kids and adults loved. I love Lake James and have been coming here my whole life but this time with my family was priceless. ##### Janice H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Randy A.

Interior was exceptionally spacious with simple, but elegant design and decor. Really gorgeous! Definitely room for far more people than we have in our small family, but we knew that when we booked it. Home is within a nice, gated community. Fenced-in pool with fire pit to use immediately next door. Enjoyed it when not out on the lake itself. Somewhat steep hill (definitely manageable with a zig-zag pathway available to use, as needed) down to the floating pier that had a super view of the small bay. Included ladder into water, a deck-side boathouse, kayaks of various sizes with paddles and life vests. Rented a pontoon boat locally for our entire stay and it was great. Easy docking. Lake is beautiful. Fishing slow, but caught a small mouth bass right out front near shore. Independence Day fireworks launched from local park and visible from pier, were the unexpected "cherry on top". Network, TV \[streaming\], kitchen appliances, and outside gas grill all were easy to use and worked very well. Foosball was fun too! Would LOVE to return to this place in the future in fall to enjoy the colors and cool mountain weather. House was VERY neatly kept. Note: Gave 4 of 5 stars for cleanliness ONLY because garbage cans in storage bins outside home had not been emptied before our arrival. Notified owner before we left, who was thankful to be made aware of situation. It did NOT impact our family of 4 because we made very little trash (2 small bags) during our stay.
