Great stay/ place!

Family vacation with married children and grandchildren. The house was very clean, nicely decorated, kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils that we needed. We ate several meals on the deck and spent several hours out on the pier. Cal and Laura are great hosts and have a great house.

Girls' Trip

Our stay was everything we could have wished for! What a fantastic home with all the amenities! The weather was wonderful so we spent our days in the sun and the nights by the fire pit. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you for such an amazing vacation!

Graduation Getaway

Cal and Laura were amazing hosts. We had family from Connecticut, New York, Michigan, and Kansas in for our daughter’s graduation from Trine. The house was spacious with all we could have needed. The deck was my go to spot for my morning coffee and evening glass of wine. The kids enjoyed the fire-pit making s'mores. If you need a clean, well-stocked place for a large group for graduation or really any time visiting the area I would highly recommend it.

Amazing house in a perfect location!

We rent on Lake James every year & this house was by far our favorite! The house is immaculate and has everything you need for your stay. The decks are awesome with a fantastic view including sunsets. And a great yard by the water with a fire pit and plenty of room for our ongoing cornhole tournaments. This house has a great location near a cove so it was perfect for a stand up paddleboard and also an early morning slalom ski. Another perk was a sizeable dock so we had plenty of room for our boat plus all of our tubes, boards, and other toys. Thanks Mike for a great week at your house!

Widmer Family Christmas Gift

Since we have kids in 3 states it’s challenging to get gifts home after our Christmas so about 5 years ago we decided to just pay for our family vacation and that would be everyone’s Christmas. Making memories and not having things that break or your outgrow. We had a lovely time at Lake James and hope to come back in 2 years

Great for a family gathering!

Swimming off the dock with ladder was just right for both adults and kids. The lower deck is much bigger than it looks in pictures - plenty of room for people to sit, chat, snack, and come and go. Loved the view from the upper deck in the morning and evening. It was a wonderful lake vacation!

Exactly as pictured

We had a lovely stay. It was so cold that we were able to catch a timelapse of the lake freezing over in just a few hours, but it was warm and cozy inside. The house is clean and thoughtfully stocked. We appreciated that there were open gathering areas, as well as plenty of private rooms for guests to have their own space.
