Quiet Waterfront Lake House with Private Dock

Completed in 2021, this Max Fulbright and TruHome Designs house is a spacious home on a quiet peninsula at Lake James. This modern rustic home sits on an acre of land with a beautiful view of Lake James and the North Carolina mountains. The home features 3 master bedrooms each with private bathrooms and huge showers. An optional 4th bedroom has a queen bed and shares a bathroom with the bunk-room which accommodates 6. The lower level family room is equipped with bar area, mini fridge, television, numerous games, pool table and activities table. There are amenities throughout including most appliances and cooking utensils you'll need, place settings for 16, BBQ grill with grilling accessories. There is plenty of outdoor seating on the decks and at the dock for relaxation and take in the scenery, especially the incredible sunsets.

At the lake is a private dock with a 24 ft. boat slip. 2 Kayaks, 2 Paddle-boards and life vests are available for guests. Our dock and everything on it is provided for our guests. You may bring your own boat or rent one locally. The neighborhood provides a locked, boat trailer storage area offsite for guests and homeowners.

INTERNET: WiFi internet provided by Starlink is available at the house right now. It provides high speed access but will not seem as fast as cable or fiber. It's more than adequate for streaming movies, zoom calls, etc.

There is a pool and common area near the entrance of the neighborhood which will be accessible to all guests, however, it is not always open so please don't use the pool as a basis for your stay (amended 7/18/23). Use of the common areas requires utmost respect and consideration so we may be able to continue offering these amenities.

10 minutes from Lake James state park with hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails. 10 minutes to Fonta Flora Brewery at Whipporwhil Farm where you can enjoy local brews and outdoor games.
60 minutes from Asheville, 1.5 hours from a Charlotte.

We loved our weekend at Tara and Tim’s house! The place was spotless and they were very flexible with us as far as checking in a bit early and checking out a bit late…location was great and loved the views you get coming into the neighborhood/down the driveway. Could not recommend this house or these hosts more!

I can’t say enough about this property! Everything was perfect! The house was beautiful, the private dock, the lake toys, the privacy, it was all great. We had 3 families staying and there was plenty of room for everyone. We would definitely stay there again and again!

Great Memorial Day weekend to celebrate a birthday. Love being able to get right out on the lake in the morning and late afternoon twilight hours to enjoy the calmer water. Escaping to the house in the mid-day is perfect. Great house - easily holds a family group with lots of space for different ages.

This house is great! Very clean, well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds. Such a beautiful view. The dock was great for our little fishing boat and sunbathing. I wish the dock had a little shade (like the neighbor’s sail shade). Owner isn’t kidding about the crafty little raccoons. Loved the fire pit!!!

Tim and Tara, We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your house for our long weekend on Sept 22-25. The house is spacious, gorgeous, well appointed and beautifully furnished! Our group of 14 especially enjoyed the kitchen and dining/ living space with spectacular views of the lake beyond. Our young adult/ teen kids loved their space downstairs and all the games you had available for them. We would happily stay at your house again and thank you for your kind hospitality!

Super late summer stay. Great house with two spacious living areas. Lots of games, pool table and plenty of separation from top to bottom floor. Nice dock with water mat, kayaks, paddle boards, etc. Excellent swimming right off the dock. Owner is always accessible and responsive. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at this impressive Lake James home for 4 nights. We were amazed how quiet it is in this area. Pictures don't do justice how beautiful the views are in person. Our children and grandchildren didn't waste time going out on the lake with provided paddleboards and kayaks. The communication with owners was awesome. We had 14 of us and had plenty of room during our stay. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had everything you need for cooking. We highly recommend this home for your next vacation. We will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you Tara and Tim for a wonderful stay at your home.

This was one of our better boys trips, the home was absolutely amazing, and the Sauna in the main bathroom? To die for. Anytime I am in the area I will look them up. Tara and Tim were amazing host, but to be honest the pictures cannot describe the little details of this home. Bluetooth speakers in the vents of every bathrooom? What??? Thank you guys, we had a blast!!!

This house is simply great. Brand new and very well equipped. It is larger than most of the rental homes at Lake James, and the owners have made great use of the space. Two separate large living areas. There is a Pool table, large TV, foosball table, game table and small kitchen downstairs. Perfect setup for kids. Excellent views from the multiple deck areas. Large boat dock with plenty of lake toys. The kids loved the floating pad and played on it for hours. Kitchen area is spacious and well appointed and would support a large family. Tim and Tara, the owners, went above and beyond to assure we had a great stay. They are immediately accessible if needed. We have it rented this home again for next summer.

This was our 3rd time staying at this property and as always it was a pleasant experience! We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to go this year because of the hurricane but the owner’s did everything possible to make our trip happen. We can’t wait to go back next year!

The house and property are fantastic. Clean, well stocked, pretty much just as advertised. The owners are very easy to work with and on top of everything. It was the perfect place to have some good times with some dear old friends. I would absolutely stay here again.

We stayed at this lovely home at the end of Oct with a multi-generational group and everyone raved about the trip! The fall foliage was beautiful and the home itself was spacious, clean and wonderfully appointed. We cooked in most evenings, but did enjoy visiting the nearby Fonta Flora brewery for creative beers and tasty food trucks. We were visiting for a trail race, but there are so many outdoor activities nearby - from biking or hiking the numerous nearby trails to paddle boarding, kayaking and boating on the lake - it is a nature lovers dream! We hope to return during the summer!

My husband and I rented this place for our friends to celebrate my birthday and kids having off of school. We had the best time. The house is beautiful and very spacious. The entertainment space on the porch was perfect for catching up, eating dinner and playing board games. The steam shower in the master was incredible and somehow the mirrors made us look really skinny :D We definitely want to come back!

This is a beautiful new home on the lake with an open floor plan. Great for families to reconnect and enjoy lake activities. We appreciated the kayaks, paddle boards and a water mat for guest use along with pool table, foosball table and games for rainy days. Home is well stocked and comfy beds. Would definitely recommend!

The house was beautiful and spacious. Dock was nice. Lake location terrific. Equidistant to Marion and Morganton for trips, and very close to Bear Creek Marina. The lake was gorgeous and not too busy.

We’ve stayed here 3 times and love this house more and more. Great for families. Two large living areas gives kids and adults plenty of “space”. Owners respond immediately to any questions. Dock area is stocked with kayak, paddle board, and the best - a floating dock. (Aka the Lilly pad). Can’t wait for our next visit!

My family had an incredible time on our family vacation. The house was beautiful and big enough to give everyone their own space. The location on the lake was perfect. It was peaceful and had amazing sunsets just outside the cove. Kids and adults enjoyed all the water amenities so we spent our days on the lake. The owners were also so quick to respond and fix any concerns we had. We will be back!

Beautiful home with easy trail to the lake. The cove with the dock is a wonderful spot to swim and play. The kayaks and paddle boards were nice to explore the lake. The view was amazing. We had everything we needed. The Wi-Fi is limited but the owners have attempted everything to secure a connection. In my book this was a positive to disconnect and enjoy our vacation.

This lake home is spacious -- not just in the number of rooms, but in the size of the rooms, common areas, and decks. It is so clean and filled with light on the main floor; cool and restful in the common room downstairs. And the bathrooms! High-end everything with plenty to keep all ages happy and occupied. The kitchen is a dream. But don't delay making your reservation. We returned today (July 1st) and I just tried to reserve a week for next June and the calendar is already filled. This lake home is that good!
