If you enjoy the thought of being surrounded by:

- banks of pristine 6500 acre lake w/150 miles of shoreline

- lush green forest

- at base of towering mountains

- views from a path that meanders through the woods reveal sunrise, sunset, & lake below

. . . then our timberframe Cabin Camp Lake James is the perfect retreat for you.

NOTE: This is at Lake James. It is not the much smaller Hidden Lake.

Our cabin is nestled in the middle of 9 private acres; has a 400 yd trail down to a quiet Lake James cove; is less than 2 mls to public boat launch; and is surrounded by dozens of acres of community walking trails. Plenty of parking on property for boat/jetskis. Public marina with boat/jetski rental or slip rental nearby. Kayak and canoe provided.

Feel as though you have stepped back in time to an age when fishing poles, sleds, & hiking boots were always ready and waiting by the door. When afternoons were spent climbing trees, discovering mountain trails, or just reading a good book in the shade. When roaring, wood burning, fireplaces warmed your heart & handcrafted quilts warmed your toes.

Our cabin at Lake James is perfectly situated in the middle of a lush forest on 9+ private acres. The cabin offers our guests the rare opportunity to make yourselves at home on one of the cleanest mountain lakes in the southeast United States. There is a very prominent water feature with a stone waterfall and in-ground spa directly behind the house and in plain view from most rooms. Meander up the back path to a view of the mountains, water, sunset, and sunrise from the adjacent lot. Walk down a path through the forest to the other edge of the property and step into a quiet cove. Adjacent to the property, you will find acres and acres of hiking trails that meander through the forest and by the lake's edge.

Inside the cabin, there are 3 bedrooms (2 queen, 1 double) and 2 baths. Additionally, you will find a sleeper sofa, a daybed, and a very large window seat with a very thick cushion. The cabin is very handicap friendly ranch plan with a very gently sloping sidewalk around to the back door (on the same level as house); a wide hallway; wide doorways; hardwood floors throughout (with the exception of a washable river rock floor in one bath); and a wheelchair friendly master bathroom with open rimless (European style) shower, handicap grab bars, wall mounted sinks, lever faucet handles, and elevated toilet in master bath.

Our cabin at Lake James offers a rustic, yet luxurious, mountain getaway. Calm lake waters, scenic walking trails, and winding mountain roads. Explore. Hike. Swim. Fish. Read. Rest. Canoe. Camp. Decompress. Connect. Regroup. Gather with family and friends. Tell a story by the camp fire. Create cherished memories. Build lasting relationships. Get away from it all. Capture the feeling of summer camp . . . Lake James . . Welcome to our cabin at Lake James.

NOTE: Tenant has exclusive use of private spa on the property (for use by people at our home only). Tenant can access multiple Public Boat Launches on Lake James; however, Community Pool/Clubhouse/Boat-slips are for use only by Community Owners. Two public boat ramps nearby, Hidden Cove and Canal Bridge, offer access to Lake James where power boats, sailboats and smaller craft have ample room to enjoy the water. Both boat ramps are located along NC 126 within two miles east of the entrance. Marinas with rentals and slips nearby.

Exactly as described... and even better

Submitted: April 13, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Needed to take a last minute 3 day getaway and found this home available. It was only about 45 minutes away from our home (foothills), but when arriving, I felt I was catapulted thousands of miles away back to the Rockies where I came from 15 years ago; and the peacefulness and privacy of this home and immense amount of detail given to it made it probably the "best overall value" of any home I ever rented through HomeAway hands down. I have rented homes on the beach, homes in the mountains, but this home, didn't break the bank for me and gave my family more than we ever anticipated coming upon it last minute as we did... Quality through & through!

I cannot say enough "good" about this home, and there is not one thing I can say bad at all.
Owner's Response: Thanks a million for choosing us and for your thoughtful review. I am always thrilled to find a little something extra to put in the cabin to make our guests' stays extra special. I am even happier when our guests notice! Please come again!

Awesome stay and exactly as described. Fire pit outside, lit hot tub, outdoor surround sound, furnished kitchen with all the condiments in the world-it was great. Lake James Realty was wonderful, and even had wood delivered when we ran out. The sauna maintenance person came to take chemical samples and even he was very personable and helpful. We were only missing a pizza cutter, can opener, and cookie sheets and got those items after a quick trip to town. We will definitely be back next year! The only thing we would suggest is updating the electronics-took 3 remotes to turn on one tv. Other than that it was perfect! Anything we may have forgotten was here, and it was a true "home away from home."
