Memorial Weekend with family
House was very nice, clean, spacious, and well stocked with everything from kitchen items, to towels, to bonfire supplies for our family of 5. Owners were proactive and responsive in the communication. View and access to the lake is great, with the shoreline mostly shaded in the afternoon and pretty quiet all the way around. We would definitely stay here again with the same group!

Mother's day gift to a 93 year old.
House was exactly as described on internet. The beds were very comfortable. The view of the water was so nice. Kitchen well stocked, and ice maker in fridge was a plus. Did not use kayaks weather was not the best for outdoors. The host was quick to all our needs. Our 93 year old mom loved it.Thank you to the Baker's .

Great spot!
Some friends and I spent the weekend hiking, biking, kayaking in the Lake James/Linville Gorge area and the house was a perfect jumping off point for us. The inside of the house was really nice - it was clean, had enough space, and set a nice vibe for the weekend. The sunrise over the lake in the mornings was absolutely gorgeous. Maria was awesome leading up to our stay and made sure all our needs were met. We ordered dinner from a delivery service one night, and were pleasantly surprised that DoorDash/etc delivered to the house. All in all a great spot!
