Lake James Beauty
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.

We were living our best life here, hiking close by in the morning, then hanging out in the water for the afternoon. It was a wonderful location and had all the amenities you would need on the lake! We had a great time!

Unpretentious Lake Vacay
The host for this property is outstanding. She was communicative and accommodating to our needs. The lake part of this property is unmatched. You won’t be disappointed by the private beach and dock, water toys, and views. The one drawback is the size of the sleeping quarters. I believe the listing says it can sleep 6. I would say it can sleep two adults and two small children. If you’re a couple or small family you’ll love this property. We enjoyed our stay with two adults and our pup.

Little Slice of Heaven on Lake James
We loved our week at this little lakeside cabin. AC worked great, the mattress was exceedingly comfortable (unlike many rentals we’ve experienced where the owners do not replace often enough), the Wi-Fi worked well, and the grounds are spacious and comfortable. There are multiple outdoor sitting areas: on the covered porch in case of rain, chairs around the fire pit, and our favorite was the seating on the private beach! And, if you don’t feel like cooking you are just a 1 minute walk from the Marina restaurant. I would highly recommend this special property to friends looking for a Lake James retreat. Major plus: It’s one of the few if not only lakeside rentals that allows dogs! We got to meet Kim briefly and she was warm and welcoming. Don’t hesitate to book!

Loved having a last minute vacation (with our 4-legged child) where we could fish, make a fire, grill, go boating if we wanted to, etc. Was a fun property with lots of options for activities. Would like to visit again.

Great Place on the Lake!
My family and I had a great time at this wonderful lakeside cabin. Everything was as advertised, dock and outdoor area excellent. Close to great little beaches and fishing if you have your own boat. My kids had a blast running around the property and tending the awesome fire pit. Additionally, amazing wildlife. Even saw otters in NC in the wild for the first time ever! -Colby

Beach in the mountains
House was small but clean and well stocked. Two of us were cozy in the house but any more would have been tight. 4 separate sitting areas outside: a sand beach, boat dock, firepit and picnic area. We had good weather and enjoyed them all. Wonderful hiking and biking trails a short drive away.

This is one of our favorite vacation spots! This was our 3rd time staying here and it always exceeds our expectations! The outdoor space is absolutely amazing and off-season it is very peaceful and quiet. The fire pit, beach area and access to paddle boards and kayaks makes the stay so much fun! We always plan a day or two on the boat and see amazing sunsets! If you ever need anything or have questions, the Owner is quick to respond and takes care of any issues immediately. Highly recommended!!!

Perfect Lake Getaway
This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted a place for just my husband and I versus a big expensive large family lake house. This fit the bill perfectly. There are a bunch of different places to hang out outside, which is what we love! The setting is lovely and pretty private. The house was clean and the bed comfortable. I definitely plan to return!

Great mini vacation
We absolutely loved our mini vacation at Bear Cliff. The cabin was perfect and had everything we needed. We especially love the outdoor area and the beach. We could easily park our boat and jet ski in the sand. My kids had fun fishing off the dock. There was nothing more we could have asked for. We will defiantly be back soon.
