About this property
Bluegill Lodge | Lakefront Luxury, Private Dock & Access to Camp Lake James Amenities!
Ideally located just steps away from the private & upscale Camp Lake James community, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath sleeps up to 8 people comfortably and offers an expansive deck and screened porch, an indoor gas fireplace, an outdoor fire pit, a gas grill, and a private boat dock for easy lake access. Inside, the home is filled with sleek, high-end furnishings and numerous upscale amenities.
The primary bedroom boasts a California King bed, while the upstairs and downstairs guest rooms both have Queen beds. The downstairs Bunkroom has two sets of bunk beds (the lower bunk is a full-size, and the top bunk is a twin-size) and two twin-size trundle beds underneath. In addition to the amenities at the home, as a guest at Bluegill Lodge, you will also be able to enjoy the exclusive amenities within Camp Lake James for the duration of your stay—take a dip in the pool, explore the lake by kayak, grab a quick bite at the Canteen, curl up by the stone outdoor fireplace, and enjoy community-led activities to your heart's content.
Located just 45 minutes from Asheville in Nebo, this upscale lakefront home is the perfect place to get away and enjoy everything the Lake James area has to offer. Outside of the community, you can spend your days exploring nearby hiking trails like the Fonta Flora Loop in Lake James State Park or High Shoal Falls in South Mountains State Park before grabbing a refreshing craft beer at Fonta Flora's open-air brewery at Whippoorwill Farm.
Less than 25 minutes away, you'll find the quaint small town of Marion, where you can grab another cold one at Mica Town Brewing Company, fresh seafood and a cocktail at Crabby Abby's Bar and Grille, or a handcrafted dish paired with the NC staple, Cheerwine, at McDowell Local. Before returning to your home away from home, shop around at the Lake James Antique Mall, or take a short 30-minute drive to the “Simply Charming” town of Morganton where you can find boutiques, novelty shops, regional museums, and art galleries to pick up a souvenir to remind you of your time in the mountains.
Please note: This house is dog-friendly, with a $100.00 non-refundable fee per dog (maximum of two). Sorry, this home is not cat-friendly due to common allergies. This home is lakefront and offers its own private boat dock on Lake James to enjoy. For boat rentals, contact the Lake James Neighborhood Store (5 miles away) or Noah's Landing (11 miles away).
This home offers exclusive access to Camp Lake James community amenities, including a spacious pool & covered pavilion area with a cabana, but please note that the docks and fitness center are private and off-limits. Some blackout dates and holiday limitations apply. Please inquire for more information.

This is a wonderful house. It is better far the best appointed kitchen I have ever encountered in a rental. The views out the rear of the house towards the lake are lovely and serene. The bonus is how incredibly close the pool and beach activities are. This is a winner!
