About this house rental
Loving Lake Life is nestled in a gated community, right on the shores of Lake James! Our nearly new home comfortably sleeps 6 across the two main levels, with the option to rent the owner's quarters for an additional 4 guests. Enjoy relaxing on the beautiful porches, unwind in the game room, and take full advantage of the dock and all the water toys waiting for you! We’re thrilled to share our space for unforgettable times in this peaceful lakeside retreat.
As you step into the great room, the kitchen immediately catches your eye with its sleek new appliances and a spacious marble-topped island with seating for six. It's fully stocked for those who enjoy cooking! The living room features a built-in electric fireplace beneath the TV and triple sliding doors that open to stunning lake views.
These triple sliding doors lead to the back porch, where you'll find a dining area, comfortable seating, and a TV, all framed by the picturesque view of the lake.
The primary bedroom offers direct access to the back deck and includes a private bathroom with a tile shower. The second bedroom has access to the second full bathroom.
Upstairs, a large open common area awaits, complete with a desk, a game console featuring classics like Galaga and Pac Man, a ping pong table, a cozy TV area, and two additional twin beds. With multiple porches, ample sleeping space for six, and plenty of water toys, it's the perfect spot to unwind and relax!
Once you enter the gated subdivision where our home is located, you'll pass the Fonta Flora Trail and spot signs leading to the public cove beach, accessible only by trail or our community! The Fonta Flora Trail offers about 16 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails, winding through the woods and providing scenic lake overlooks. It's just a short walk from the house!
Our dock sits in a peaceful cove, ideal for boating, swimming, or fishing. It features hammock swings, chairs for relaxing, two paddleboards, two kayaks, and lifejackets – all for your enjoyment! Whether you're reading a book, fishing, or watching for kingfishers, the dock is the perfect spot to unwind. Feel free to bring your own boat and tie it up to the side of the dock for use during your stay (please note, the two jetskis are not for guest use). Once you leave our calm, wake-free cove, you can explore all of Lake James, try water sports like skiing or wakeboarding, or simply take a leisurely cruise to enjoy the breathtaking mountain views from the water. Lake James is the cleanest lake in North Carolina!
We're just a few miles from the Linville Gorge wilderness area and the public boat ramp at Linville Access. Lake James boasts 150 miles of shoreline, with around 30% of it belonging to Lake James State Park. The lake is home to ospreys, eagles, and many other wildlife species that you can spot during your stay!
Guests stay on the second and third levels of the house, while the bottom level is reserved for the owner's quarters. If you're interested in bringing additional guests, such as in-laws or a second family, please reach out for information on renting the extra space. The bottom floor includes two bedrooms (one queen and two twins, sleeping four), a bath, living and dining areas, and a kitchenette. Don't worry – you'll have the entire property to yourselves, with no one else on the premises!

What a gem of a place on this beautiful quiet lake. The lake house was absolutely perfect for our crew. Clean and well equipped with all the essentials and some amazing extras for the kids with the game room upstairs. We enjoyed the kayak and stand up paddle board down at the dock on the days it was warm.

Everything was very clean and house was well equipped. Lake view and porch was amazing. Our family truly enjoyed our time at your cottage. Thank you!
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
The house was very clean with a "new" feel. Kitchen was well-stocked and the walk down the path to the water is short. The docks a nice with lots of toys available. The setting is quiet and neighborhood is gated. The upstairs game room would be great if you brought children. Overall, this is a very nice place and a good deal for the location.We have just a few recommendations:-the home is a little sparsely decorated which made it feel less cozy. The couch was across the room from the TV, so it felt like a fairly large distance if you are going to watch TV. There are only 3 lamps in the entire house, so you have to use the overhead lights in the evening if you want to see. This is subjective, so take it as you will-Wished there were a king-size bed. This is on us for not reading carefully. The bed in the master bedroom was quite soft and my partner and I kept rolling to the middle.-There is a very bright security light in the back corner of the house. The owner let me know it is required for insurance and they've installed a couple of screens to try and mitigate the effect, but it made sitting out on the deck at night not as enjoyable as one it shines in the direction of the deck-There is a downstairs area for the owner. No one was staying there, but you are unable to lock-off this portion of the house. It made me just a little uncomfortable, although the owners can realistically enter the home anytime.
