We had a wonderful long weekend at this lakefront VRBO! The cabin was cozy, clean, and just the right size for our family of three. The bear-themed decor was charming without being overdone. We loved swimming in the lake, and the outdoor area with the fireplace and beach was perfect for relaxing and having fun. The paddle boat was a great touch, keeping us entertained all weekend. Highly recommend this spot for a family getaway!

Lake James Playground!

My husband and I just spent a week at the “cozy cabin” on Lake James and had an amazing time! The cabin is adorable, exactly as described with so many amenities. We enjoyed the fire pit, private beach, and boat/dock area. The weather was a bit sketchy, but that allowed us to explore local breweries and towns near by. Communication with the host was outstanding. We cannot say enough good things about this perfect little piece of lakeside paradise. We will be back!

We stayed over Labor Day weekend and absolutely LOVED this property. As described the cabin is small but very cozy! Just perfect for the 2 of us and our dogs. Anything you need is provided. I have to say the private beach is one of a kind. All kinds of water toys and I used the paddle boards for the very first time. We will definitely be back’ Thank you Kimberly for everything

Wonderful place to stay!!!

We loved staying here! There are so many nice outdoor areas to enjoy .... the porch is so cozy, the beach is wonderful - especially for our dog, and sitting on the dock first thing in the morning having coffee was so relaxing. Loved all the outdoor string lights at night and having a fire in the fire pit!

Loved, loved, loved this cabin! The view from the property is absolutely beautiful! The outdoor space is second to none. We got to meet Kimberly when we arrived and she was just lovely. We were able to enjoy the outdoors even during the rain with the lovely covered front porch. The beach area was a great place to play and to relax in the shade. There is too much to say, but you will not be disappointed! This is a great place for a getaway for 2. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful

We had such an amazing stay at the cabin. The private beach with the paddle boards and floats was so relaxing and very quiet. Had two young kids that enjoyed the swing and did marshmallows around the fire a couple of nights. In the last morning woke up early and there was a little deer in the front yard. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will definitely be returning.

This tiny cabin is adorable and perfect for 2 adults. What a great location for water fun and mountain hiking. We would come again:). I’m not sure how 6 people would do, perhaps if 4 are small children. Note that the loft is not big enough for an adult to sit up. This did not matter for us. We loved this cabin.
