Welcome to Lakeways

Lakeways is a custom-built, 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom A-Frame mountain retreat near Lake James, North Carolina — nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains and designed from the ground up to be the best vacation rental in the region.

This is not a standard cabin. This is a fully equipped base camp for the best weekend you've had in years.

Sleeps 10. Built for groups. Everything your group needs. Nothing left behind.

Note: Lakeways is situated near Lake James but does not have direct water access. The closest water access point is Brier Creek Marina, and we also recommend Lake James State Park for beach access, swimming, and paddling. Two kayaks are provided — just a short drive to launch.

THE MAIN LEVEL

Step inside to a sun-filled living room framed by large windows and panoramic mountain views — the signature of the A-Frame design. The rocked gas fireplace anchors the space, perfect for cool mountain mornings and late nights with good company.

The chef's kitchen is fully stocked and built for a crowd: large island, seating for 10+, Keurig and press coffee makers, Instant Pot, full cookware set, and everything you need to cook a real meal together.

The covered deck off the living room is where mornings happen. Mountain views, fresh air, dining table, charcoal grill, and room to breathe.

The primary suite features a king bed, dedicated workspace with monitors, and a spa-worthy en-suite with a custom-tiled rain head shower, bench, and dual vanity.

The 2nd bedroom offers a queen bed and 43" smart TV. The 2nd full bath features a jacuzzi tub — ideal for unwinding after a day on the lake or the links.

THE LOWER LEVEL

The lower level is where the fun lives.

The game room features a massive sectional, a 70" TV, and a multi-use table that converts between ping-pong, pool, and dining. Bluetooth speaker. Dart board. Games stored throughout. This room runs late.

The 3rd bedroom (lower primary) features a queen bed with en-suite tiled rain shower — private and comfortable for guests who want their own space.

The 4th bedroom is the bunk room: four single bunks, a 43" smart TV, and a dedicated play space for kids.
