The house was perfect for me and my dragon boat team members. There was plenty of space and it was very beautiful. Thank you!
Beautiful house and a great location. The cove was beautiful and very quiet. Our family had a great time together.
This is our second time vacationing at Newman’s Nook, Could not ask for a better location on Lake James. 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!
Newman’s Nook is the perfect family vacation home. The home exceeded our expectations. 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!
Home was very comfortable and clean. Perfect for a lake trip with friends and family. Had everything you needed for your stay. Definitely one of our favorite homes on Lake James!
Enjoyed our stay! Clean and well equiped. Had fun kayaking and sitting out on the dock. Great option for a trip with extended family or friends with kids. Will stay again!
The property was on a beautiful lake. Perfectly clean and well stocked. We had a great time.
This was the perfect vacation home for our group of 6. The house is so clean and well decorated and had everything we needed to enjoy a few days at the lake. Having two master suites worked well since our grandparents came along, my kids loved the bunk room and all the games in the house, and the location is great for enjoying all that Lake James has to offer. We can't wait to go back!
The property was just as described and we found our time at Lake James to be absolutely wonderful. The home was clean, beautifully laid out, and fully stocked with everything we needed to enjoy a long weekend at the Lake.
Newman's Nook was a perfect fit for our family. Everyone had their own family space to sleep. The kitchen was completely stocked and had extras. We brought all our food for the week and the kitchen made it fun to prep. The layout was roomy for all 10 of us. We spent mornings and evenings on the screened porch. Having the pool next door was so convenient with 3 young kids. The dock and extras were so nice. Our 4 yr old grandson got up on skiis and knee board and tubed for the first time. Wonderful memories were made. Thank you!
Had a wonderful time. The house, pool next door and lake was perfect for our family and grandchildren. Look forward to returning next year.
This is our second time at this house and we look forward to returning again. The house is very clean and has everything needed for a fun week at Lake James. We love the quiet cove and spent hours swimming, kayaking and fishing. We ate every meal on the screened porch looking at the lake. Thanks for a great week!
We just spent 4 nights at this modern, clean and convenient cabin. What we loved: flat front yard for any sports and the convenience of unloading for all to get into the home without a steep hill. Large kitchen which had EVERYTHING you need. Pool is literally next door, with a huge fire pit for s’mores. Foosball for the kids upstairs and many many board games, and TVs. Washer and dryer if needed, and a mud room. Huge screened in porch w large table to accommodate. Grill on the deck. We had a party of 10 and we all fit around the large dinner table. The kayaks and standup paddle boards were a hit, as well as the two fishing poles. Water was nice and warm and the dock is in nice calm cove with out too much fast boat traffic.. it was perfect cabin to unwind and unplug. We will definitely be back. Owner was easy to get in touch with, great experience. Thanks!
Great home on Lake James- far enough away to get away but close enough to things if needed. Really enjoyed the private dock and the kayaks/paddle boards were a huge hit with our kids. right next to the pool was a nice to have as well. One tip for any visiting, if you go down to lake, make sure you got everything needed because it’s a workout to go up and down a few times back to the house. Host,Jake, was very responsive to all messages and did a great job preparing his house for a stellar vacation spot.
I grew up in Morganton, and this house was a great Homebase for a return visit. It’s worth noting that the kitchenware here is nice….I’ve stayed at more expensive places on the lake with scratched Teflon, flimsy knives, and plastic utensils.
We had a group of 6 stay at Jake's beautiful lakefront home. We were in the area for a nearby race and extended our stay to see the area. This side of the lake is definitely remote but can be managed with some planning. The house is just beautiful an has just about everything you would need for your stay. The kitchen is well equipped for meal prep. The beds are comfortable with extra blankets for cool nights. We enjoyed the dock, SUP, and kayaks. The screened in porch is lovely as well. The home is beautifully decorated with huge windows and high ceilings. The neighborhood is quiet. Jake was super responsive when we had questions. There is printed information in the house for most details. We went to Fonta Flora brewery several times (very close to the home). There are food trucks there for a quick meal and a fun, outdoor environment. Hiking is amazing and we found a waterfall trail that we had all to ourselves! Be sure to check out Lake James Boat Rentals at Lake James Marina. Brand new boats and top notch service. Be sure to bring your own towels for the lake and pool. We also were unable to get enough reception to watch movies on the TV at the house (not really an issue for us as we just played games instead!) Super pleased with our stay...this home is a perfect lake getaway and we hope to return!
