About this property

Awe Inspiring Views! Custom Lake Front Home on Beautiful Lake James!

  • Newer custom home in The Arbors, a private and gated community on beautiful Lake James NC. This spacious custom lakefront home has all the room and amenities to accommodate one or two families very comfortably. The main level of the house has an open concept with a living and dining areas, a fully equipped kitchen, a laundry room and two bedrooms. There’s a grilling porch off the kitchen with a Weber gas grill. The level also has a comfortably furnished covered porch overlooking the lake with beautiful lake and mountain views; you’ll really enjoy having a morning coffee an afternoon nap or an evening cocktail while looking at the beautiful views this porch provides. The master bedroom has a king sized bed, walk in closet and private bathroom. The bathroom has a double vanity, a jetted whirlpool tub and an over-sized enclosed steam shower. The second bedroom has a queen sized bed and attached full bathroom.

    The lower level of the house has a second living area, a wet bar, a ping-pong room and 2 more bedrooms. The lower level also has a covered patio facing the lake. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other is set up for kids with a full/twin bunkbed and a trundle bed. There are also two full baths on the lower level.

    Down at the lake the private dock can accommodate multiple boats and has a swim platform and ladder. There’s also a small deck down by the lake with chairs and tables for your lounging. So bring your boat, PWCs, canoes, kayaks (owner has 2 kayaks for your use), or rent a boat from one of the nearby marinas and tie them up to the dock after a fun day on the lake.

    Lake James with over 150 miles of shoreline is one of the most beautiful lakes you'll ever visit. Bordered by the Pisgah National Forest and Lake James State Park along its northern shores providing pristine and unspoiled vistas.

    Hike in the Pisgah Forest, or to any of the numerous nearby waterfalls or along the Appalachian Trail, white water rafting, take a ride along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or enjoy a round of golf, There are a ton of fun things to do during your stay. In the fall the turning colors will take your breath away and in winter there are a number of nearby snow ski mountains that will entertain boarders and skiers alike.

    Asheville is a short drive away with many attractions such as the Biltmore Estate, one of 'America's Castles'. Also enjoy Asheville's eclectic downtown with great shopping and dining and a nightlife that includes live music at the nationally acclaimed Orange Peel and other concert venues..

    Black Mountain is nearby and affords many things to do.

From the most upscale cuisine, to country cooking and BBQ, the area is home to over forty restaurants sure to please any palate. Dine inside or outside, while enjoying the local flavor or celebrating a special occasion. After dinner enjoy a wide variety of nightly music at one of its many venues.

If you are on the fence about this property do not be. Every expectation was exceeded. The host was extremely timely with any questions and a pleasure to deal with. However impressive this property is from the website, trust me, pictures can not do it justice!

Lake vacation

My kids are still talking about what an amazing vacation we had at Lake James! The house was perfect with 2 separate areas so the kids and adults could have their own spaces. Coffee on the deck every morning is a must the view and serene environment are incredible. As noted in other reviews there is quite a hike to and from the lake but the way down is not so bad and the way up helped burn all my extra vacation calories. We would highly recommend this property and are sure that you will make many wonderful memories during your stay!

Perfect mountain home

Our family stayed for Thanksgiving and had the most wonderful time! The house was spotless and had so many great amenities. Kids loved playing ping pong, and the kitchen was fully stocked for preparing our big meal The property owner went above and beyond to address any questions during our stay. He was always very helpful, kind, and quick to respond. The views of the property are also breathtaking. So enjoyed having coffee on the large covered porch and taking walks around the gorgeous neighborhood.

Spectacular View; Comforts of Home

The house had a good layout, clean, and a beautiful view of the mountains and lake. The inside of the house was actually nicer than the pictures display. Walk down to the lake is a little tricky, as others have said, but it's a small sacrifice for the view. There were only two of us, but the house can easily accommodate a family with kids or 2-3 couples. The guest book was a nice touch since previous visitors gave us some ideas of local adventures to seek out while there. Had one question for the host and it was answered very quickly. All in all, comfortable house for our visit!
