Nebo, North Carolina
Lakefront Retreat on Lake James is an opulent and spacious lakefront gem that boasts a game room (complete with foosball, pool, and ping pong), an expansive deck, an outdoor fire pit, a gas grill, a private boat dock, and gorgeous lakefront views! Located just 45 minutes from Asheville in Nebo, this upscale lakefront home is the perfect place to get away and enjoy everything the Lake James area has to offer. Spend your days exploring nearby hiking trails like the Fonta Flora Loop in Lake James State Park or High Shoal Falls in South Mountains State Park before grabbing a refreshing craft beer at Fonta Flora's open-air brewery at Whippoorwill Farm just 10 minutes away.
Take a short 15-minute drive to reach downtown Marion where you can spend your afternoon exploring the new 310 District, an indoor shopping space that's home to Toonez Chop House, Chances of Sprinkles Bakery, and several retail shops. For dinner, head to J. Hartman's for fresh seafood and a cocktail, or McDowell Local for a handcrafted dish paired with the NC staple, Cheerwine. For view chasers, this home is about an hour's drive from the gorge -ous Linville Gorge Wilderness area and the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, which offers plenty of overlooks and hiking opportunities to choose from.
Don't forget that no trip to the mountains of Western North Carolina is complete without experiencing the Land of Sky, Asheville. While there, be sure to check out the hip and artsy West Asheville district, North Carolina Arboretum, and iconic Biltmore Estate. Asheville is also home to an impressive number of award-winning restaurants and breweries that you can sample in between all your activities. You're also sure to find a souvenir to remind you of your time by the lake in the mountains at one of the unique boutiques or novelty shops!
Please Note: This home is NOT pet-friendly. This home is lakefront and offers its own private dock on Lake James to enjoy. The tub in the primary bedroom is usable, but the jets do NOT work.
Large kitchen. Plenty of room and amenities for rainy day entertainment. Theater downstairs is nice and comfortable. Clean. Accommodating for large groups. Our teenage kids had a couple friends join us and we peaked at eleven people in the house. There was still plenty of room. Quiet cove great for swimming. Boat rental a must. We had a blast!
This was the perfect home away for our family. Most of our time was spent in and around the water. The house has everything you need – kayaks (included), pontoon boat (available from home owner as additional charge), as well as jet skis (from marina about 3 miles away). House has home theater, board games, pool table as well as foosball table. Beautiful kitchen and dining area. Hiking and good dining nearby. Highly recommended. A++.
This is the second year we've stayed here. It works out great for our extended family gathering. Nearby mountain biking trails, state park, waterfall hikes, tennis, and more were all enjoyed, but the highlight each day was taking the pontoon boat out for an after dinner cruise to watch the sun set.
3rd time at this home- communication was excellent, home is excellent- everything you can possibly need!
Staying at this home never disappoints—we look forward to every single trip to this rental and have zero issues with the amenities . We have stayed in properties all over the world and this one rates at the top in terms of comfort, practical use and ease of stay.
We loved this house-------beautiful views of the water in winter, from most bedrooms and living areas---Gourmet kitchen with everything you need---huge bedrooms with comfortable beds--clean---easy check in--the game rooms, theater room and separate places for naps, cards, reading, dominoes and the most perfect puzzle table with center lazy susan. We had the gas fireplace going all week with some snow still on the ground. With winter storm coming we were offered extra days, late check out and most importantly, flexibility. Thank you Veronica
A retreat in every sense of the word. My family and I had such a fantastic time for a short stay at the Lakehouse Retreat. Everything you need and more is provided and is an awesome vacation stay for people of all ages! Plenty to do but also plenty of ways to relax. Truly a gem. We can’t wait to stay again next year!
The house had anything and everything you could ask for. We also rented the boat and had a great time tooling around the lake. Not a tremendous amount to do in the area when you left the house, but not one complaint about the house!
This house was one of the most stocked houses in every aspect. The gourmet kitchen had a plethora of appliances and gadgets to cook with. The game room had so many options to keep us busy in the Evenings and with the few rain showers that passed. Our favorite as an old time game of Rock Band! Valerie has everything organized and thoughtfully labeled so you can maximize your stay. She even has a beautiful pontoon boat that I highly recommend renting as it gives you the opportunity to enjoy the lake even more.
Very quiet relaxing week, just what we needed to get through the fall of Florida.
