Lake vacation
Truly enjoyed our stay. Mother and daughter trip. Fabulous location, very clean and excellent amenities! The sandy beach area was a huge plus. Easy to get boat, paddle boards and kayaks in and out of the water. Communication was responsive and quick. Highly recommend this property.

We stayed over Labor Day weekend and absolutely LOVED this property. As described the cabin is small but very cozy! Just perfect for the 2 of us and our dogs. Anything you need is provided. I have to say the private beach is one of a kind. All kinds of water toys and I used the paddle boards for the very first time. We will definitely be back’ Thank you Kimberly for everything

Wonderful place to stay!!!
We loved staying here! There are so many nice outdoor areas to enjoy .... the porch is so cozy, the beach is wonderful - especially for our dog, and sitting on the dock first thing in the morning having coffee was so relaxing. Loved all the outdoor string lights at night and having a fire in the fire pit!

Loved, loved, loved this cabin! The view from the property is absolutely beautiful! The outdoor space is second to none. We got to meet Kimberly when we arrived and she was just lovely. We were able to enjoy the outdoors even during the rain with the lovely covered front porch. The beach area was a great place to play and to relax in the shade. There is too much to say, but you will not be disappointed! This is a great place for a getaway for 2. Definitely recommend!

We had such an amazing stay at the cabin. The private beach with the paddle boards and floats was so relaxing and very quiet. Had two young kids that enjoyed the swing and did marshmallows around the fire a couple of nights. In the last morning woke up early and there was a little deer in the front yard. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will definitely be returning.

This tiny cabin is adorable and perfect for 2 adults. What a great location for water fun and mountain hiking. We would come again:). I’m not sure how 6 people would do, perhaps if 4 are small children. Note that the loft is not big enough for an adult to sit up. This did not matter for us. We loved this cabin.

Unpretentious Lake Vacay
The host for this property is outstanding. She was communicative and accommodating to our needs. The lake part of this property is unmatched. You won’t be disappointed by the private beach and dock, water toys, and views. The one drawback is the size of the sleeping quarters. I believe the listing says it can sleep 6. I would say it can sleep two adults and two small children. If you’re a couple or small family you’ll love this property. We enjoyed our stay with two adults and our pup.

Little Slice of Heaven on Lake James
We loved our week at this little lakeside cabin. AC worked great, the mattress was exceedingly comfortable (unlike many rentals we’ve experienced where the owners do not replace often enough), the Wi-Fi worked well, and the grounds are spacious and comfortable. There are multiple outdoor sitting areas: on the covered porch in case of rain, chairs around the fire pit, and our favorite was the seating on the private beach! And, if you don’t feel like cooking you are just a 1 minute walk from the Marina restaurant. I would highly recommend this special property to friends looking for a Lake James retreat. Major plus: It’s one of the few if not only lakeside rentals that allows dogs! We got to meet Kim briefly and she was warm and welcoming. Don’t hesitate to book!

Great Place on the Lake!
My family and I had a great time at this wonderful lakeside cabin. Everything was as advertised, dock and outdoor area excellent. Close to great little beaches and fishing if you have your own boat. My kids had a blast running around the property and tending the awesome fire pit. Additionally, amazing wildlife. Even saw otters in NC in the wild for the first time ever! -Colby
