Had a great time here! Great location. The stairs were a lot, but definitely worth being so close to the water! Very clean and organized inside, comfy beds, and a very reasonable to-do list before checking out. Main problem was the spiders and spiderwebs outside! Definitely need a cleaning/pest service for certain times of the year, but would definitely stay here again despite the bugs. Loved the paddle boards and life jackets. Thanks for letting us enjoy the home!

Great Vacation

Great stay on Lake Lure. There are a lot of steps to get down to the house, but this was made clear and we loved that the house walked right out to the lake. Everything was as communicated, couldn’t ask for an easier renting experience.

Amazing

The listing is underselling itself. The place is incredible. The 100 steps are no big deal and the luggage ‘train’ is clutch. Such a chill wonderful stay. One of the best places on the lake and minutes from the grocery store and restaurants. Will 100% be staying here again

Great House

This house was just as described. They even had paddleboards for us to use. We did rent a boat for the week, and we were able to dock it at the house. House was clean, had all the essentials, was very close to Chimney Rock. We will rent again.

Summer vacation

Property manager was very attentive. The house was our favorite so far of our 4 trips to Lake Lure. The downstairs kitchen to deck set up was perfect. The teens loved jumping off the boat house . We rented a boat for a couple of days too. Green paddle board was awesome . Great house. We will be back

Perfect Getaway

This home is on a quiet cove, perfect for floating on rafts and using SUPs! Check in was smooth, the property was clean and well equipped. We used all of the outdoor decks and toys extensively.. even enjoyed a trip around the lake on a pontoon boat from a kind neighbor! Highly recommend this property. Grocery store is 3 min drive. Plenty to do and see locally yet we just relaxed at the house and enjoyed the serene surroundings!! There are truly 100 steps down to the home.. your cardio workout is included : ) You will not be disappointed with this hidden gem listing!!

Labor Day Weekend Fun!

We had family traveling from Columbia, Greenville and Clemson, SC to stay for the long holiday weekend. Lots of parking available—we had 5 cars and a small kayak trailer. The Lake Lure train for luggage and coolers worked perfectly to get our items to and from the house. We loved the interior spaces and we had everything we needed. Everyone enjoyed swimming, jumping off the dock and the SUPs got lots of use! We also watched “A Breed Apart” that was filmed at the house and all in the lake close to the house. It was neat to see how much has changed and what we recognized. We highly recommend this beautiful home!!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the interior of the house. Could not rent again because access to water is too difficult. Suggest investing in a better lower dock with actual stairs. Pool toys in bad shape and outdoor lounge chairs need cushions House itself is great but we had no TV in bedroom which we love having Also I am not from Irvine

What an amazing home! Just spent a week here with my two teenagers. Absolutely beautiful! I started and ended my days on the private balcony off one of the master bedrooms. It was so cozy and relaxing looking at the water and reading and watching the sun go down. We used the SUP’s and watched the sunset while the fog rolled in one evening on the lake. The views were magnificent. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare and cook meals. The claw foot bathtub was a nice treat one evening after a storm. Plenty of closet space and dresser drawers for all our things. The beds are very comfortable and that’s saying a lot coming from me as I’m pretty particular when it comes to my sleeping comfort-I woke each morning feeling rested and ready to take on the day. We did venture out to Chimney Rock one morning and that was fun but honestly I could have just stayed at the house and been perfectly fine. Spent quite a bit of time on the lower outdoor deck and utilizing the lake floats and swimming in the little quiet cove. The luggage train was an unexpected luxury and absolutely adorable! We will be back! If you are looking for everything you could possible want and need for a lake getaway STAY HERE!

House was perfect size for 4 adults and 2 teenage boys. Water and deck were great! The house is a little quirky, The ladders from the water are narrow also, but we were careful. Would recommend and stay there again.

Christmas getaway.

We enjoyed the layout of the house and the fireplace in the rooms was a nice touch. Lake views also add a nice touch. The house sits at bottom of the hill so be ready to walk down and up close to 100 steps, fortunately we are an athletic family so we didn’t mind the steps. We had some minor issues that were resolved by Kathleen who was on sight. We enjoyed Chimney Rock, we went zip lining at The Forge and great places to hike like Little Bradley Falls. We did a goat cheese tour and tasting at Round Mountain Creamery (recommended). We dinned at The Highlands-high end, Fish House-casual and La Strada- Italian. Very nice home and location for a getaway.

We were forced to leave early because the septic was not working. Also 2 of the 3 fireplaces were not working. It could have been a great stay, but they need to address the problems.

The house was very nice. It was spacious and well stocked with all the necessary supplies. The bathrooms were great and the whole house was clean and tidy and well furnished. Sadly the lake was missing but this obviously cannot be helped. It would have been an awesome spot with the water. Please understand that this house does require a tremendous amount of stairs to be negotiated. There are the 100 to get from the parking area to the house and the house is three floors. The tram was not working while we were there and is the reason for the four star review. It was a lot of work getting everything to and from the house. Otherwise we had a five star stay and will hopefully be able to get back when the work on the lake is complete.
