The location of the house is a dream, being on the lake and right next to the pool, with tall trees surrounding it. Though we didn't really need to venture far from the house to enjoy the trip, it was an easy drive to nearby trails for those of us who wanted to do some hiking. We highly recommend this vacation home. ##### Hannah V. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph T. May 6, 2019 #### Robbins Retreat The pictures do not do this house justice.

Several thunderstorms came through during our stay so the enclosed porch was the place to be. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen appliances were complete. The only suggestion we would have was replacing the broom and add a dust pan. Thank you for sharing your home with our family. ##### Bob H.

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.

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. GREAT VACATION SPOT!! ##### Randy A. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice H.

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave F.

Love this quaint farmhouse. Spacious for all 10 of us. The kids loved eating on the screened porch and listening to the boats. The pool next door was perfect for the grandkids when we were not on the pontoon boat we rented for the week. Jake was a great host and we look forward to returning next year! ##### Jan M.

We enjoyed having the pool next door and having all the lake activities available from the private dock. Our crew fished from the dock, swam, and used the kayaks. We rented a boat for a couple of days and the convenience of keeping it at the house was really nice. We appreciated all the information and communication from Newmans. It made planning for the trip easy. We hope to return! ##### Noy W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackson K.
