23 Reviews of Property 285837 in Lake Lure, North Carolina

Came up on a Friday by myself and my 2 dogs. The drive was nice and only a little over 2 hours from Columbia. Had a few friends come up for the weekend. Too bad it rained for 3 days straight and we didn't really get to do much but stay at the house, but it was still a good time. The weather was nice Monday through Wednesday and I finally got to spend some time outside. I had planned to fish a lot so I wondered if there were any fish in the lake. There was a huge school of bream around the dock. I would estimate there were anywhere from 25-40 fish around the dock at any given time. I decided not to catch them because they were too entertaining. It was more fun to feed them. Also saw some bass but was never able to catch any. I never got to try out the canoe. I went to grab it and flip it over almost grabbed a snake that was halfway under it. I quickly backed away, then looked around and saw more snakes around it I didn't see at first. They were using it as shelter from the rain I suppose. Tried again the next few days and they were always around the canoe. Finally on my last day I decided to try and scare the snakes away, but it rained all day and my last chance to use the canoe had passed, which was pretty disappoining.
Of the 7 days I was there, only 3 days did it not rain. I doubt this was normal, but nevertheless, a game room downstairs with pool table/dartboard/ping pong table would have made the rainy days/nights better (at least on the days my friends were there).
The house itself is very nice and all the amenities were there. The furnishings were nice and appliances were all very good. The deck is huge, and the grill was awesome. Ingles is not far away and was surprisingly big with lots of stuff I didn't think they would have. I did have some trouble finding an ATM machine so make sure you bring cash before you get there. I grilled out pretty much every day/night but there were some nice looking restaurants right on the lake that looked really good. All in all it was a very good trip, despite the weather, and I didn't want to leave. I would definately recommend to just about anyone... especially if you love the lake or the mountains.

Great family getaway! The listing of the cabin is exactly what you get. We were pleasantly surprised at how clean the accomodations were. We had a couple of rainy days and the owners provided a book with suggestions of things to do. We all enjoyed the use of the canoe on Mirror lake behind the property. Chimney Rock is just miles away and a must do. We would definately return in the future.

We had our "mini-moon" of 2 nites here at the cabin. It was perfect. Great location, quiet, private, clean, had all the amentities that we needed. My only complaint is we wanted a later check out than 10am. We contacted the owner and they responded right away, tried to see if the cleaning crew could come later, but couldn't and they had another check in. Totally understandable. It has a great private dock and if we had been there long enough would have definitely used the plastic boat in the basement and taken it out! Was really great. HIGHLY recommend. And that comes from a person who worked in hotels for years. Trust me, you will get what is described and more.

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin and would highly recommend it. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed and more to make our stay comfortable. We loved the back porch and enjoyed our morning coffee there each day. We will certainly return!

This was our 2nd stay at the Lake Lure Cabin....it will not be the last as we plan on staying there every year. There is nothing better than your early morning choice of brew being enjoyed on the deck overlooking Mirror Lake. It is so peaceful there. I really appreciate the fact that we could take our two "girls" (dogs) with us. They just loved lying on the deck and looking at the lake. The cabin is equipped very well and the grill cooks some fantastic food! I can't say enough about how much this cabin makes a vacation so memorable.

What a great place to get away and rejuvenate. Very peaceful setting, clean cabin with everything you need for an extended stay. Will definitely be back!

Before I started the long process of looking online for a vacation home for the weekend, I decided that I wanted a mountain cabin on a small lake. It should have a porch overlooking the lake for a quiet cup of coffee or tea. It also needed a canoe at the dock in front of the house for a lovely time communing with nature on the lake. I found this house near Lake Lure. It was all I had wanted and more. It is very tastefully decorated and spotless. It is warm and inviting, including a well stocked kitchen.The porch was great as was the canoe. Thanks for sharing this lovely home with us. We ate at Larkins on the Lake downstairs--great food and wonderful view of lake and mountains.

We had a great time. Awesome views, cabin was in fantastic shape. Everything except the food is provided by the owners. Great back poarch and view of the lake. Extreamly quite. Kids had a fantastic time. Caught a few fish at the lake. Thanks for having a canoe available.
