Ledfords Landing is a picturesque lakefront retreat in a private setting. This 2600 sq foot lakefront home is spread over two floors. Upper and lower decks boast of views across the lake to Chimney Rock. The main level has a large great room with ample seating that surrounds a lovely stone fireplace. The kitchen/dining area is spacious and opens into the great room. The upper level has 4 bedrooms - 3 of which have a sliding glass door that opens onto a common covered balcony facing the lakefront. The master bedroom on the lakefront has a king bed and its own full bath with Jacuzzi tub. The other three upstairs bedrooms share a full bath in the hallway. All of the bedrooms are roomy and comfortable. The two lakeside bedrooms have queen beds. The fourth bedroom has two twins. For additional sleeping space there is a '5th bedroom' with a double bed that is located just off the kitchen – perfect for the midnight snacker! There is also a full bath with shower downstairs, which is also accessible from the outside, great for a quick rinse off after swimming. The large covered porch/deck located off the great room provides a great spot to read a book or enjoy the lovely views of the lake and mountains.

If it’s the water you are interested in, there are only 20 steps from the house deck to the lakefront over-sized dock with shaded area and ceiling fan. Whether swimming, canoeing, kayaking, or just floating aimlessly in the cool emerald water, you’ll be at ease as we are situated in a quiet “no wake” cove. No matter how you spend your day, you’ll want to be on the "rooftop deck" over the boathouse in the evening. The water changes from cool green to brilliant gold as the sun sinks over the mountain. At Ledfords Landing, you have the best view of the lake and mountains that can be found anywhere on the lake (of course, we are slightly biased).

*******We have a 1999 Voyager 21' pontoon boat available at your option to rent with our home! It has a 90 hp 4 stroke engine. It's quiet and no mixing oil and gas! The pontoon rental is $195/day with a 3 day minimum. PLEASE NOTE: In 2006, Lake Lure has passed a regulation that makes it unlawful for boats with commercial licenses (i.e.our guests) to tow skiers or tubes, etc behind the boat.**************

There are several (15) acres adjacent to the house that are perfect for playing baseball or Frisbee, picnicking, or just strolling. It was on this property that several scenes from the movie Firestarter were filmed.

Please note that our home is family friendly. We have two sons and welcome you to use some items we've kept for your convenience - port-a-crib/high chair/toddler bed/booster seat. Also an ample supply of toys, books and videos. The porch has locking gates to help keep little ones safe and let you relax.

NEW FOR 2007: Added Wireless High Speed Internet and replaced the deck at the lake.
New for 2008: Carpeting replaced upstairs.
New for 2009: New floor downstairs and tile floors added in all bathrooms.

  • We could not have chosen a more perfect place than Ledford's Landing for our family gathering. From the moment we arrived, we were delighted with this lovely, spacious, and comfortable home. From the youngest to the oldest, each person tremendously enjoyed the time we spent there. The children were overjoyed with the great selection of toys and books, and the adults were amazed at the beautiful views and the serene setting, as well as all the extra amenities provided. The pontoon boat provided an excellent opportunity to see the surrounding lake area and to just enjoy the great outdoors. We really appreciate the graciousness and helpfulness of the owners and would love to come back for many more memorable visits. The Hathaways Palm Beach Gardens, FL

  • We stayed at the beautiful Ledford's Landing vacation home during the 2005 Christmas holiday. We found the home to be impeccably clean, comfortable, and welcoming! The owners even put up a Christmas tree for us to have fun decorating with our own items we brought from home. The view of the mountains was spectacular!! Our son, as cold as it was, got out on the paddleboat and enjoyed the tranquility of beautiful Lake Lure. What a fantastic spot! We made good use of the wonderful fireplace on those chilly evenings while watching Christmas movies. We will never forget how we spent Christmas 2005 at Ledford's Landing in Lake Lure, NC. Thank you for helping us to create wonderful and lasting memories! The Raneri & Lambert Families

    Our family is very large and growing each year. With ten adults and five children under the age of 4, it can be difficult to find adequate space that we can enjoy together. Ledford’s Landing was absolutely perfect for us. The entire house was wonderfully childproofed that allowed us to kick back and watch the kids play instead of constantly running after them. We also enjoyed the use of the pontoon boat. Whenever the kids got too rowdy we would just load them up and go for a cruise. It was a fabulous distraction and relaxing for the adults as well. The swimming areas were also fabulous. The kids loved the shallow beach area where they could splash around. For an adventurous family that planned to find a new and exciting location each year for vacation we have decided to stick with Ledford’s Landing. It was simply too perfect! We look forward to spending time with you again next summer.

  • We had a large family reunion at beautiful Ledford's Landing and can't say enough great things about our week there. Included in our group were 5 small children under the age of 3 years old. There was so much for them to do and see, including swimming, hiking, boating, playing in the large field next to the water...endless ways to keep them busy and happy! And also safe - the house was very "childproof" which also made our stay more enjoyable. And the kids weren't the only ones who had a blast! All of the adults agree - we're coming back next year! Thanks for a wonderful week. We love your place. The Fitzgeralds (part of the Cunningham gang)

  • I'm wonderfully rested and totally inspired after our retreat get-a-way at Ledford's Landing! We had a great time. And have plans to make this a yearly retreat. The Lake Lure Tours, which we also highly recommend even mentions Sunset Cove as the filming location for some scenes in Firestarter. The house itself was warm and welcoming and we immediately felt at home. Thanks again for all your help. Very much looking forward to visiting again.

  • When our family takes a vacation we desire to "make memories" - ones that will last for a lifetime. Ledford Landing provided an incredibly lovely location for that to occur. We have made three trips to this lovely spot at Lake Lure. First, with our son, his wife, and children. Second, with our Young Adult Bible Study group, and last, with another group from our church. In each case our time proved to be a blessing to all who went. They each said, "This is a must for another outing!" The home looks out upon beautiful Lake Lure surrounded by rugged mountains unlike most of the North Carolina Blue Ridge range. The cove Ledford Landing is situated on is quiet and secluded. The dock provides an incredible view of the sunset. We found the home itself immaculate and lovely. The downstairs family room provides a large area for fellowship. The roomy kitchen provided everything we needed to work as a group to fix a simple lunch or a gourmet dinner. Each bedroom was decorated with such taste - all eye-appealing. Three had exits onto the balcony overlooking the lake. This provided a perfect location for reading or just being. The bathrooms were immaculate (A must for our family!). The very large waterfront area provided places for our groups to play softball and crochet. Some enjoyed fishing. One feature that was a blessing with our family was the safety precautions the owners had made. Each access off the porch to the lake had safety gates to assure the children couldn't go alone. Returning to Ledfold Landing is not a question. It is assured! We desire to be blessed with another opportunity to make memories with loved ones in this lovely mountain get-away.

  • Thank you for your hospitality on such a beautiful weekend! Your home is very comfortable and beautifully furnished. We had everything we needed here, and then some! Our kids were thrilled to find some toys and books already here. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the dock and just enjoying the lake and mountains. We plan to make this an annual trip!
