Lovely Lake House

The driveway was scary. Ground keeper came and blew leaves off which helped. Having 3 ovens was awesome for preparing Thanksgiving dinner. Of course, 2 refrigerators were also much appreciated. Fire ban was lifted so we enjoyed pit fires in the evenings.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Bartholf

We are Matt & Bhavana. A family with young kids and we enjoy vacations that allow us to get away and spend time together with opportunities to both be active & relax. Our kids just love the water and their most memorable vacations have been at lake, beach or the mountains. We live in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Why they chose this property

Our kids have always loved the water. Matt grew up on Lakes and when we visited Lake James and saw how beautiful and clean the water was, how little traffic Lake James receives, and the great hiking and fishing in the area, we fell in Love with it!

As parents of young kids, it was also important for us to be in a place not too far off from having access to good organic groceries, shops and great restaurants for nice evening out - Morganton offers all of this. And we have a few great wine vineyards and breweries providing excellent venues for drink, live music and dining.

Our hope is that we can share this experience with other families & you will also find your bliss at Lake James.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this house with it's unique style, open floor plans, & large kitchen (Love to Cook!)! The private dock with such a beautiful view of the lake where we can experience breath taking sunrises!

As a family that loves to entertain, we do our best to ensure the house is stocked with everything you need to come and just relax!
