Quiet Waterfront Lake House with Private Dock

Completed in 2021, this Max Fulbright and TruHome Designs house is a spacious home on a quiet peninsula at Lake James. This modern rustic home sits on an acre of land with a beautiful view of Lake James and the North Carolina mountains. The home features 3 master bedrooms each with private bathrooms and huge showers. An additional 4th bedroom has a queen bed and shares a bathroom with the bunk-room which accommodates 6. The lower level family room is equipped with bar area, mini fridge, television, numerous games, pool table and activities table. There are amenities throughout including most appliances and cooking utensils you'll need, place settings for 16, BBQ grill with grilling accessories. There is plenty of outdoor seating on the decks and at the dock for relaxation and take in the scenery, especially the incredible sunsets.

At the lake is a private dock with a 24 ft. boat slip. 2 Kayaks, 2 Paddle-boards and life vests are available for guests. Our dock and everything on it is provided for our guests. You may bring your own boat or rent one locally. The neighborhood provides a locked, boat trailer storage area offsite for guests and homeowners.

INTERNET: WiFi internet provided by Starlink is available at the house right now. It provides high speed access but will not seem as fast as cable or fiber. It's more than adequate for streaming movies, zoom calls, etc.

There is a pool and common area near the entrance of the neighborhood which will be accessible to all guests, however, it is not always open so please don't use the pool as a basis for your stay (amended 7/18/23). Use of the common areas requires utmost respect and consideration so we may be able to continue offering these amenities.

10 minutes from Lake James state park with hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails. 10 minutes to Fonta Flora Brewery at Whipporwhil Farm where you can enjoy local brews and outdoor games.
60 minutes from Asheville, 1.5 hours from a Charlotte.

Our family rented this beautiful lake house to gather from Washington, California, and Kentucky for my 96-year-old mother-in-law’s memorial service at the church where she was married. It was important to have a place where our children, their spouses, and most of our grandchildren could be together—and this home was perfect.Tim and Tara were exceptionally kind and generous, offering early check-in and late checkout to accommodate our staggered arrivals and departures. The house was lovely, spotless, and very well appointed, with comfortable beds and a bunk room the grandkids absolutely loved. The Christmas tree was such a thoughtful and touching surprise.This home gave us a warm, welcoming place to gather, laugh, and reminisce during a tender time. We are deeply grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend it.

The property was impeccably clean and provided a comfortable, home-like atmosphere. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring restful sleep for all guests. The entire accommodation was well-maintained, and the kitchen was fully equipped with all necessary cooking supplies. The multiple bathrooms were particularly appreciated by our group of nine. The property exceeded our expectations, appearing even more attractive in person than in the online photographs. We were highly impressed. Communication with Tim and Tara was seamless, and they responded promptly to all our inquiries and concerns. Our stay was excellent, and we would enthusiastically recommend this property.

Beautiful house and view of the lake! House was clean, well stocked, and the owners are very responsive and friendly. The A/C did have trouble keeping up on a few hot days on the top floor, even with the drapes shut, to the point we asked if someone could look at the HVAC unit while we were there. The owners did send a technician out, and everything seemed to be working correctly. The owners did say they plan to make some additional modifications soon to address the sun light heating up upstairs. But overall, the experience was excellent and worthy of the 5-star review I gave it. We had a lot of fun kayaking, paddleboarding and playing on the lake mat at the house. The neighborhood pool is small but very nice as well and was not crowded anytime we went. I would highly recommend staying here if you enjoy the combination of the lake and mountains.

This was our 2nd stay at this property. It's a beautiful lake home with large rooms, nice bathrooms, lovely kitchen with everything you need for the whole family. It is a very quiet area. I love the dock where our kids stayed mostly. The views are outstanding. If you want a good steak I recommend Bones Jones about 20 min. drive. My whole family enjoyed the stay and will be back in future

Beautiful Lake Home

We had a fantastic stay at this impressive Lake James home for 4 nights. We were amazed how quiet it is in this area. Pictures don't do justice how beautiful the views are in person. Our children and grandchildren didn't waste time going out on the lake with provided paddleboards and kayaks. The communication with owners was awesome. We had 14 of us and had plenty of room during our stay. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had everything you need for cooking. We highly recommend this home for your next vacation. We will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you Tara and Tim for a wonderful stay at your home.

Gorgeous house!

Tim and Tara, We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your house for our long weekend on Sept 22-25. The house is spacious, gorgeous, well appointed and beautifully furnished! Our group of 14 especially enjoyed the kitchen and dining/ living space with spectacular views of the lake beyond. Our young adult/ teen kids loved their space downstairs and all the games you had available for them. We would happily stay at your house again and thank you for your kind hospitality!

Super late summer stay. Great house with two spacious living areas. Lots of games, pool table and plenty of separation from top to bottom floor. Nice dock with water mat, kayaks, paddle boards, etc. Excellent swimming right off the dock. Owner is always accessible and responsive. Highly recommend.

An awesome weekend away

This house is great! Very clean, well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds. Such a beautiful view. The dock was great for our little fishing boat and sunbathing. I wish the dock had a little shade (like the neighbor’s sail shade). Owner isn’t kidding about the crafty little raccoons. Loved the fire pit!!!

Wonderful Lake James Home

We stayed at this lovely home at the end of Oct with a multi-generational group and everyone raved about the trip! The fall foliage was beautiful and the home itself was spacious, clean and wonderfully appointed. We cooked in most evenings, but did enjoy visiting the nearby Fonta Flora brewery for creative beers and tasty food trucks. We were visiting for a trail race, but there are so many outdoor activities nearby - from biking or hiking the numerous nearby trails to paddle boarding, kayaking and boating on the lake - it is a nature lovers dream! We hope to return during the summer!

Amazing Trip

My husband and I rented this place for our friends to celebrate my birthday and kids having off of school. We had the best time. The house is beautiful and very spacious. The entertainment space on the porch was perfect for catching up, eating dinner and playing board games. The steam shower in the master was incredible and somehow the mirrors made us look really skinny :D We definitely want to come back!
