Newly constructed and filled with luxe furnishings and rustic chic design elements, this upscale mountain home seamlessly incorporates modern luxury with craftsman-style charm. Ideal for family vacations, multiple couples traveling together, or those who have the flexibility to work remotely, Mountain Days is also the perfect vacation spot for those who want to bring the whole family along-including the pups! Upon entering the home, you'll immediately be greeted by the floor-to-ceiling windows that offer spectacular woodland views along with the spacious open layout. The gourmet kitchen offers everything you could possibly need and more—from the gas range stove to the stainless appliances to the coffee cart equipped with a grinder, French Press, and dual machine drip and Keurig with reusable filters to the added bonuses like an Instapot and waffle iron-cooking will be a pleasure instead of a chore.

The dining area accommodates up to 6 and provides the perfect place to savor delicious food and great conversation while the chic living area provides the perfect spot to cozy up around the gas logs fireplace and take advantage of the 50" Smart TV, DVD player, and movie collection, board games, and easy deck access. Venture outside to find the impeccably-appointed covered deck area with a 6-person high-top dining table that's perfect for enjoying your meals together while taking advantage of the temperate mountain climate. In addition to the dining table, there is also a grilling station with a sleek new gas grill and wine cooler and a corner nook perfect spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening.

Just off the deck is the gorgeous stone fire pit area with Adirondack seating for up to 4 that reveals stunning views of Table Rock and Hawksbill Mountain. Other outdoor features include exclusive access to Arbor community amenities such as the covered pavilion area with wood-burning fireplace and park-style grills. While beautiful, the remote location of most mountain homes often means sacrificing internet connection and speed, but at Mountain Days, their high-speed internet starts at over 100 MBPS enabling seamless streaming, web surfing, and zoom video conferencing.

Enjoy the option of staying connected and working remotely while on your retreat or delight in some much-needed R&R without any distractions—the choice is yours! Located just 45 minutes outside of Asheville in Nebo, NC, this stunning lakeside gem is the perfect place to vacation and enjoy everything the Lake James area has to offer. Enjoy nearby hiking trails like the Fonta Flora Trail Loop or John Rock Trail before grabbing a refreshing craft beer at Fonta Flora's open-air brewery at Whippoorwill Farm. If you're interested in experiencing small-town charm during your stay, take a short 10-minute drive to explore the shops, galleries, restaurants, and breweries like Mica Town Brewing Company and Spillway Bridge & Co. in downtown Marion.

Please note: This home is pet-friendly with an additional fee. This home has exterior cameras facing the driveway & a ring doorbell camera. This home is located within the Arbor subdivision of Lake James and offers exclusive access to community amenities that include a covered pavilion area with a wood-burning fireplace and several park-style grills. While this home is close to Lake James, it is not lakefront and does not offer its own private boat dock.

This was our second time staying at Mountain Days. A beautiful home in a perfect nature setting. We truly enjoyed our time.

Manager's Response

Wanda, we're so delighted to hear that your return visit to Mountain Days at Lake James was just as wonderful as the first! We can't thank you enough for sharing your feedback with us and fellow travelers, and we're excited to help you plan your next trip. 

Great place to bring the family!

The Mountain Days home is absolutely beautiful all by itself, let alone surrounded by the lovely Lake James and mountains. It is close enough to Asheville and Black Mountain for an easy drive to town for the day, but secluded enough to be a peaceful respite after a long day of exploring. The outdoor living spaces are very family friendly and well accommodated. We would love to stay there again!

Manager's Response

Well, we would love to host you again, Kyle! We're so glad to know that that the house and property were perfect for your visit. We truly can't thank you enough for choosing to stay with us at Greybeard Rentals and we look forward to your next trip to town.

The cabin was clean and well stocked. Team was easily accessible and replied promptly to requests. We had some water pressure issues as well as gate code issues, but they were responsive and addressed the issues quickly.

Everything about this place is welcoming...even the neighbors! Loved the split floorplan, garage access, and the finishes. Mountain Days was a great option for our family while visiting the area for a reunion at Lake James. We had 3 couples and 2 dogs and the size was perfect. Loved the porch (and the porch view) as well as the firepit. BONUS was garage access to keep our vehicle out of the summer heat. Neighborhood was quiet, lots of birds and wildlife. Dogs loved their walks in the neighborhood, and the friendliness of all.

Manager's Response

Lisa, we're delighted to hear that you and your group (including your pups) immediately felt welcome and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and fantastic amenities. We can't thank you enough for your kind review and recommendation to fellow travelers, and we hope you'll keep us in mind for future reunions in Lake James!

Great Getaway

Mountain Days was perfect for our family of four (including two teenagers). The house was stocked with everything we needed and the location was great - 3 minutes by car to the boat dock, 15 minutes into Marion for supplies or dinner. Made a fire in the pit several nights where we were joined by adorable frogs. Wished the water pressure was stronger, but the amenities outweighed the inconvenience. Great memories were made at Mountain Days!

Manager's Response

Caryn, thank you for your five-star review of Mountain Days at Lake James! We're so happy to hear that you and your family had such an amazing and memorable stay and enjoyed the convenient location and the fantastic amenities. We appreciate you choosing us at Greybeard, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the area soon.

Super clean and modern, spacious bedrooms and everyone has its own bathroom. Really well equipped kitchen. Yard is beautiful and fire pit top notch. Enjoyed the house very much. Only little hiccup is I didn’t understand what the distance between a slip and a dock is. I thought we had lake access. But had a good time anyways. Everyone had a good time.

Manager's Response

Martha, thank you so much for your five-star review of Mountain Days at Lake James! We're delighted that you and your group had a fantastic stay. While this home is close to Lake James, it is not lakefront and does not offer its own private boat dock. However, it does offer a dedicated boat slip at the Arbor's residential marina that is available during your stay just a short drive from the property. We apologize if this information was not clear in the listing details, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. We hope that we'll get the chance to help you plan your next mountain getaway soon!

The cabin was absolutely gorgeous and met all of our needs. The location allowed us to go boating on Lake James and swimming at the beach. Just sitting on the back deck was enjoyable as well. We experienced a brief power outage and the staff was helpful in keeping us informed of the issue.

In the mountains and next to the lake, a perfect combination. Our home was in a gated community with lots of lush wooded areas to relax and was very quiet, so could enjoy the peacefulness. Everything was nearby, no more than a ten minute drive to the lake, trails and brewery.

What a fantastic home! Exactly what we wanted - close to world class hiking & directly on Lake James, close enough to Asheville when we wanted to enjoy all that amazing area has to offer & all while enjoying total luxury in virtually a newly built home that had all of the items needed to have an easy & comfortable stay. Can't wait to stay @ Mountain Days again.

The house is beautiful, brand new and immaculately clean. We cooked Thanksgiving in the kitchen and it was well stocked with pots, pans and cooking utensils. We enjoyed the wooded views from all the windows, especially the main living area. The gas fireplace created a cozy indoor environment and the outdoor fire pit was perfect for night time s'mores. It is close to a community hiking trail and walk to the lake. We also enjoyed hiking the Fonta Flora Trail, which is a short drive away. We highly recommend this cabin and hope to come back again.

FAQs

WHERE IS THIS HOUSE LOCATED?

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND/CANCELLATION POLICY?

If you need to cancel your reservation and the property you had reserved re-rents for the time which you had it reserved, you will be refunded all money you had paid minus an $89 cancellation fee. If you cancel and the property does not re-rent for your reserved dates, you will lose all money you have paid to that point. For this reason, we recommend that you purchase trip insurance. Please call 888-228-8008 before making a reservation if you have questions or concerns.

WHAT IS YOUR PET POLICY AND FEE?

Mountain Days at Lake James is specified as "pet friendly" and dogs are allowed. Unfortunately, due to common allergy problems we cannot allow cats. For the privilege of bringing your dog, there is a minimum charge of $100 nonrefundable fee per pet. A maximum of two dogs are allowed unless you have received special permission from the property manager or homeowner. Any damage that may be caused by your pet during your stay will be paid for out of your security deposit or charged to the credit card we have on file. There is a county-wide leash law in place. When taking your dog outside of a gated area, please ensure that they are on a leash.

WHAT ARE CHECK-IN/CHECK OUT TIMES?

Check-in time is 4pm and check out time is 10am. It is important that we adhere to these times, because there is a chance that someone else will be checking out/in before or after you and we need sufficient time to ready the house for the next renter. If you wish to check-in early, there is a $50 early check-in fee that can be added on to your reservation. Early check-in is only available if someone is not checking out on the morning of your arrival.

WHERE DO WE CHECK-IN/PICK UP KEYS?

Mountain Days at Lake James has a keyless entry system. You will receive a unique access code within 3 days of your arrival, allowing you to go straight to the house and check-in starting at 4pm.

WHAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY DURING OUR STAY?

If you are having a medical emergency, dial 911 from the phone in your rental home or cell phone.

We hope that your stay in the area will be relaxing and without incident, but should you need to get in touch with Greybeard, we have someone on call 24 hours a day. Just call our office at 828-669-1072 and select option 1, which will forward to the cell phone of the person on call. Please do not hesitate to call us if something needs immediate attention, but if your question or concern can wait, we ask that you call the office during normal office hours.

WHEN IS THE SECURITY DEPOSIT REFUNDED?

Security deposits are returned within 30 days of guest departure.

WHEN ARE HOMES WITH GAS LOGS IN OPERATION?

Mountain Days at Lake James has an indoor gas logs fireplace. Gas logs are not in operation May through September due to the warmer summer months. 

WILL THERE BE FIREWOOD PROVIDED?

Mountain Days at Lake James has an outdoor fire pit. While firewood is not supplied by Greybeard, some houses may have a small leftover supply of firewood for renter use. However, we strongly recommend purchasing your own small bundle of wood or Duraflame pressed logs at the local grocery store. Cutting branches, limbs or trees on the property is strictly prohibited, but you can use limbs found on the ground. 

IS WIFI SERVICE INCLUDED WITH MY RENTAL RESERVATION? WILL I HAVE CELL PHONE SERVICE AT MY RENTAL?

Wifi is available at Mountain Days at Lake James. Please note that Greybeard Rentals does not guarantee internet connectivity or speed. Each individual homeowner contracts directly with an internet service provider, and due to a variety of reasons, Greybeard does not guarantee service. Our Black Mountain and Asheville offices have wifi service available if needed.

Cell phone service is not guaranteed. You may check with your service provider to see if service is available.

WHERE AND HOW DO I ACQUIRE A BOAT RENTAL IN LAKE JAMES?

While Mountain Days at Lake James is in close proximity to the lake, it is NOT lakefront. However, it does offer a private boat slip on Lake James. For questions regarding boat rentals, please contact the Lake James Neighborhood Store (828) 391-8600 or Noah’s Landing (828) 707-2174.
