    We had a great stay at Chandra’s lake house. The house was clean and well equipped in the kitchen with plenty of beach towels. The children enjoyeand adults enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks, and the lake was great for skiing, wakeboarding, surfing, and tubing.

    We had an amazing trip here with our family! The hosts were very nice and responded to messages quickly. The dock was very sturdy and worked well for our boat that we rented from a local company. The swimming wasn’t as ideal as we thought with it being very deep and seaweed at the end of the dock, but the close sandbars made up for that! The kids caught a ton of fish! The screened in porch was wonderful! Highly highly recommend a wagon for going up and down the ramp with your supplies as it is very steep. Overall a great week!

    Our stay from Aug 2 to 9 was awesome. We had lots of fun. The cottage was nice. It needs a little fixing, like the railing and stuff. It could have better lighting inside. From the road to cottage is definitely a steep ramp. But overall all everything was great.

    The haul up/down the hill to the house was not expected. My advice is to bring a wagon for the haul. The kitchen appliances need updated. The freezer doesn't have an ice maker. The stove back burner wasn't working and the oven was marginal. Then we found out from the owner after we loaded the dishwasher that it doesn't work. I request a $400.00 inconvenience refund and received 250.00.We stayed during 90 degree heat and the AC works well. The view from the porch is beautiful! We spend a lot of time on the porch overlooking the lake. Once your at the house the front yard is flat as you head towards the lake. The dock is very nice. The house is fully stocked with everything you need, towels, toiletries and the kitchen had many spices, dishes, pans all the items needed for cooking. Washer and Dryer worked well. The house has APPLE TV and we could only find the connecting cord for one of the apple tv boxes. The owner said there were two but we could only use one APPLE TV BOX on just one TV. The trip overall was very nice. If the owner would update to new appliances I would give this rental a 5 star review.

    There were 14 (10 adults and 4 kids), that stayed, and the House accommodated us well. The location on the lake is interesting with the narrowed link between basins for water activity watching. The sandbar out front worked well for swimming. The amenities are good and as others stated, the screened porch is a cool place to watch the lake and chill. Parking is excellent. Experiences with other rentals has been that we had to store trailers and park vehicles in other locations. We were able to park two boat trailers, a Jet Ski trailer and a utility trailer along with seven other vehicles at the house. The lake front and dock also accommodated two boats and two jet skis.

    This is the first time we rented at the Lake James Retreat and we loved it! My family spends a week at the lake every summer and thoroughly enjoyed this property. Surrounding neighbors were so kind and inviting, the house and yard were extremely accommodating for yard games, family dinners and sleeping arrangements. Highly recommend!
