My friends and I had the most wonderful stay at Michael & Karen’s home! The house was absolutely immaculate—spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything we could possibly need (and more). The location was easy to find, and the serene setting right by the lake made it feel like the perfect getaway. What truly set this stay apart, though, were the hosts. Michael & Karen went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, and their thoughtfulness made our time there even more special. They genuinely went the extra mile to make sure our stay was everything we hoped for and beyond. We couldn’t recommend this home highly enough—10/10!

Wow! What an incredible home to enjoy quality time with friends and family. I can’t say enough about how beautiful this place is and the wide range of amenities it offers. The view of Lake James and the surrounding mountains is absolutely breathtaking. Inside and out, this home has everything you could possibly need. Michael and his family clearly put a tremendous amount of thought and care into every detail, making our trip truly unforgettable. From the golf simulator and outdoor tees to the paddle boards, kayaks, fire pit, swings, and ample seating for family or group gatherings throughout the home, it was all simply perfect!

We had an amazing stay at this luxury home. The house is incredibly spacious, even bigger than it looks in the pictures, and it has stunning mountain and lake views from multiple locations. It comes with all the amenities you could need, including a fun putting green, a golf simulator and lots of games that everyone loved. All of which were in working order. The location was also convenient, although you will never want to leave the house!! Highly recommend!

This was an annual “back to school” trip for our family and the Holmestead was above and beyond our expectations. We usually stay in the mountains but the pics of this home drew us to the lake; it is just beautiful, spacious and full of fun! There was something for all of our family of 14, ages 1 to 69. We rented jet skis for an afternoon and also enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks. The golf simulator and putting green were a hit for bigs and littles. There were too many extras to mention and we were sad to leave. It was a delightful vacation and great communication with owners.
