Lake James fishing places to stay

Such a beautiful home and a wonderful place for a family weekend retreat to Lake Jackson State Park and participate in the Fonta Flora 50K. The home is so cozy, and enjoyable. Space to gather together and also retreat away to relax and read a book or nap. The deck and dock space are amazing!!! Hosts were so friendly and welcoming. We are already planning our next visit to their home.

if you need time away from chaos, this is the place to go! Private, very peaceful, and we felt right at home.

we enjoyed our stay here it was very private ,clean and peaceful ! lots of cool lizards too!

This was our second year for family vacation! The house is very roomy and enough sleeping quarters for our family of 6 adults and an almost 2 year old and a dog!! We loved just getting in the lake water and float all day!! We probably be back next year!! Thanks for a wonderful vacation and family time!!

Absolutely fantastic place to stay, right on the water in NC. My group loved the dock and patio, which felt both private and open to the beautiful nature surrounding it. Access to paddle boards and kayaks made for a great activity for everyone and the house itself was spacious enough for everyone in our group to relax comfortably. Would highly recommend!

Great little lake house. Perfect for our family. We were there for the week riding mt bikes(8 minutes to Kanuga, 25 minutes to ride rock and 30 to Pisgah)Came home every night cooked on the grill and then jumped in the hot tub before we walked down to the lake for a little fishing. And everything you could need 8-10 minute drive to downtown Hendersonville. Perfect location. Couldn’t ask for more.

I cannot say enough positive things about this place! Beautiful setting, beautiful house, and oodles of amenities. Enough room for everyone to have their own space. Amazing value and fantastic host! Do not hesitate to book this place!!

Awesome place to stay! Very peaceful and very beautiful! Right on the lake!

this is a great location. comfortable home. close by for relatives visiting. don't want people to find it. we love having it for our family. we will be back

First time on lake James and it blew us away! Andrew’s home was a perfect fit for us to be able to enjoy the surroundings!

Great location. Immaculate and as described. Enjoyed the lake.

This was our second time staying and we loved it just as much as the first time! We even got to see two deer right outside the deck in the morning. Definitely a great place to stay to support WNC.

What a great place. Brought the family for Thanksgiving. Plenty of room for everyone. Saw 4 bucks the day we arrived. We had fires, fished, played games and relaxed. Kitchen is very well stocked. Love the “second” kitchen. It sure helped with Thanksgiving. The whole house is. Thomas is a great host. Don’t hesitate to book. I bet it’s great in the summer.

This was our third stay at Lake James and this house had the best view by a wide margin. We had a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. The place was a great fit for our family. Bruce always responded in a timely fashion. If this house is available for our next trip to NC, we would definitely book this house again.

The property was super clean, cozy and in a great location. Beautiful views of the lake and a private backyard. Interior had all the essentials one might need. Linens were abundant and clean. Bathrooms and kitchen were all upgraded and very nice. Quick drive to the market and a walk across the street for coffee, drinks and food. Also a quick drive to Chinmey Rock. Patrick, the host, was very responsive and always friendly. Definitely recommend. We will be staying here again!

This is a lakeside cottage/cabin built in 1950 and subsequently updated. It met our expectations of rustic coziness and modern bathroom/ kitchen. The screened porch overlooking the lake was a highlight. It is evident that this rental is enjoyed by the owners and there are many touches that show they have actually stayed there and thought about what is needed. The kitchen is well equipped and there are plenty of towels. A highlight for us was using the kayaks. Early morning on the lake is peaceful and there isn’t much traffic on this little bay. We had four adults, so having one shower was not a problem. We had read the description and reviews and were prepared for the stairs. Many houses on this bay are built on the side on a steep embankment and have long staircases. Also, the property manager was responsive to our questions. We enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again.

The house was perfect, everything was very clean, a quiet place to have a great time, great games room to have a good time

There really are no words to describe how much we enjoyed our stay. For our family of 6, and our 2 doggies, we were looking for a large space in a beautiful and peaceful setting to enjoy the holidays together. We are all so busy and run in different directions, and we thought this would be a great way to have a captive Christmas for everyone to enjoy time together! We were right! The owner has the house decorated perfectly for Christmas, and the basement level was perfect for our 3 grown boys to play video games and bond together! Grandma enjoyed the large tv with the giant window overlooking the mountain and lake - and mom & dad (us) enjoyed the master bedroom & bath with a balcony overlooking the mountain and lake. It was perfect, like Switzerland, but only 2 hours from home! We have treasured memories of our trip!

We had such a great stay! Everything was just as described. I will say, I didn’t realize the cottage was pet friendly and I am allergic to dogs. I was reading the guest book and read story after story of visitors who brought their pups along with them. I didn’t sneeze or itch or even have to clear my throat once during our stay!! I was shocked pets had been there because of just how fresh and clean of pet hair/dander it was - so kudos to whoever does the cleaning. This is the perfect spot for 2 to get away.

It was our first visit to the mountains of North Carolina, and Jacqueline and Dan's was a great place to stay. We loved Hendersonville - short drive to get there. We were able to drive up to Biltmore in Asheville, we hiked in the Pisgah National forest, and made it over the Blue Ridge Parkway. And there are so many other adventures to be had within easy driving distance. But this Airbnb is so nice you won't mind the time you spend there either. Spacious, great views, fire pit, gas fire pit/table, hot tub, two decks and more. Great place to hang out and create memories, for us it with our 5 adult daughters. Fair to say we highly recommend! Definitely one of the best Airbnb's we have stayed at.

Everything was beautiful and a peaceful stay with family. Brittany was always quick to respond! The listing stated a hot tub, and we were a bit disappointed to find it in not working condition - but after talking with our lovely host, we were able to come to an agreement! We recommend this place for anyone looking to getaway for the weekend! Perfect for larger families, and so much to do in the area! Like Tubing, Ice Skating, Skiing, Snowboarding, and Hiking! 10/10!

Thank you for providing a clean and cozy place to stay, close to downtown Asheville. The view of the mountains off the front porch was so peaceful.

Christina’s place was amazing! The views were beautiful, and the house had everything we could have needed. We were supposed to ski and got rained in, but had an absolute blast just hanging around the cabin. It comfortably fit all 8 of us and had all of the amenities for a fun stay (hot tub, pool table, directTV). We had guests go for walks on various walking trails around the property as well. Would recommend this place to anyone!

We had an amazing experience! Spectacular picturesque views of Lake James with mountain backdrops. The host was also very quick to respond with any questions. I would highly recommend this lakehouse paradise. :)
