Thistledew Unit B

The back unit (Unit B) of Thistledew Cottage is the original cottage with 2 bunk beds (sleeps 4).

This year-round, level lot lakefront house is on the second basin of Lake James, a beautiful 1200-acre sports lake.

Thistledew Cottage is a rare single-story rental home designed to accommodate two families at the same time in separate but connected units.

The two units have a connecting door that allows for use as 1 large unit or 2 smaller, separate units. Each Unit has its own grill and patio set to enjoy outdoor living. Bed linens and bath towels are included for both units, beach towels are not. The two units share parking, a large yard, a sandy beach and a private pier with space to dock your boat. The solid, firm lake bottom is ideal for wading and swimming.

Unit B

The back unit (Unit B) sleeps 4 in the quaint and cozy original cottage that started with the kitchen and two bunk beds in the same room, plus a small bath. It now includes an enclosed porch with a view of the lake from the kitchen table and small patio.  Unit B has its own heat/AC unit that is separate from the main house. Unit B also has its own washer/dryer.

Please note: beginning in 2025 we will only rent the whole house which includes the original cottage (4 bunks, full kitchen, 1 bath) and the front addition (4 BR + 1.5 BA, full kitchen and large great room).  The combined Unit A and Unit B will comfortably sleep 14.
