Great house on Lake James!

House was great! Lots of room, nice screened in porch room and large kitchen! We brought our boat and docked right at the house! The hosts were incredibly nice and answered right away with any questions that we had! We had to leave a day early because our grandkids came down with fevers and they refunded our last night. Didn’t need to, but they did! Super nice!!

Great Nature Getaway

The property was a great place for my family (3 young kids and 2 grandparents) to have a quick weekend getaway. We loved the fall colors over the lake and hiking locations close by were phenomenal. We hope to return in the summer because I imagine the lake is even more magical then.

Quick visit

Matt was so great at accommodating our big group for a family funeral. We needed a really short stay and an unusual start time and he went the extra mile to make it happen. We were so grateful to have been able to stay together at such a hard time for our family. And the property is gorgeous!!!!

This home was perfect for our vacation , with plenty of space for each family unit. We enjoyed card games on the screened porch in the evenings. The house is pristine clean, has a spacious well stocked kitchen, and the beds all comfortable. The firepit is a cozy spot to gather and look out over the lake. We look forward to returning!

Family Fun

Fantastic home! Loved the layout, kitchen, bedrooms. We ate breakfast every day on the screened in porch. Walked down to the lake for a float or swim or paddle board. The teens loved jumping off the dock at the house and s’mores at night by the fire pit. Loved fishing off the dock. The beds were really comfortable!

Thanksgiving Family Gathering

We enjoyed four nights in this property. There are nice views of the lake and the kitchen has a nice island for everyone to gather. The property was clean and had most of the basics. We did need to bring our own tables and chairs so there was enough seating for our party of 12.
