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. 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. 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 a water experience 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 one of the best views directly across the lake and up to the 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 (14) 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 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.

My husband and I, our three grown children and two grandchildren traveled from upstate NY and the Atlanta area at this lovely, comfortable home on Lake Lure. It was the first time we were all together in over a year. This was the perfect, stress free vacation! This is probably THE best location on the lake. Views are stunning, especially the sunsets! The 5 bedrooms allowed privacy and quiet place for kids' naps and the open main floor gave us lots of space to get together. We cooked most nights. Kitchen had everything we needed, nice Weber gas grill on the deck and nice supermarket close by. Loved the easy access to deck atop the boathouse and with a 3 year old we really appreciated the safety gates. We rented the pontoon boat for 3 days. Great fun to cruise around the lake.

Ledsfords Landing is a wonderful home with a world class view. My family loved every minute of our vacation from exploring the lake in the pontoon boat, swimming and floating in the warm lake water, hiking, site seeing and mostly just relaxing hanging out with each other. The home had everything we needed and the open floor plan and large amount of outdoor space was perfect for our family gathering. The sunsets are amazing from the deck and even better in the middle of the lake on the pontoon. If you are looking for a fun and relaxing family vacation I can't think of a better place to be.

My family just finished the best vacation we could have possibly had. This Lake House afforded us the opportunity to gather Sons, Daughters, Children and Grandchildren all under one roof with plenty of room for everyone, Well appointed and comfortable to the 5 star level this is the way to vacation! There is something for everyone here and plenty of room for kids to play in the water or out. Love it!!

We spent a long Easter weekend at this lake house and found everything to our liking. The house was neat and clean. Rooms were well supplied with necessities, games, dvd's, kitchen wear. The whole family enjoyed the kayaks and canoes. We spent one afternoon paddling to a restaurant in the next cove for lunch. Lunch was excellent. My son enjoyed fishing off of the dock and actually caught 5 fish. It was a wonderful family weekend. Would recommend to family and friends.

Ledford's Landing provided the setting for one of the best family vacations we have ever had. The layout of the house is perfect with a large family room that adjoins the kitchen. So much thought has gone into what a family would need when away from home. The decks and walkways are child friendly with gates at each opening that can be locked for safety. The driveway and landscape is great compared to the usual steep settings at most Lake Lure houses. The yard is flat and cars can be parked by the house and off of the street. Everything needed for lake fun is in the boathouse. All of these things were wonderful, but the thing that stands out the most is the beautiful sunset from the deck over the boathouse. It was breathtaking as we spent family dinners gazing at the beautiful site. Jenny is so caring and she and Tom were wonderful to work with. Our family loved our vacation there and will be back again.

We have come to Ledfords landing now for several years. We come with our grown children and our grandchildren. Eleven of us in total. The house comfortably accommodates us all. Typical days are spent in, or on the lake. Many mountains, towns and parks are nearby and frequently some, or all, of us take day trips. No stay is complete without a day at Chimney Rock, golf (minature for the kids), dinner at one of many local restaurants and hours and hours spent in the lake.The Cox's who are the owners are wonderful people. Always thoughtful and always have the house in top condition. Each of our days ends sitting on the top of the boathouse watching the sun disappear over the mountains.

Looking for a "great" vacation in a mountain/lake setting ? This is the place. Large lake front home with outstanding amenities available. The "sunsets" you will never forget. A pontoon boat available for your lake cruising, especially in the early morning when the day is just starting. Quiet, peaceful atmosphere, great for the kids too. Three golf courses nearby, Restaurants that meet every taste. Historic areas just a short drive away. We highly recommend this vacation spot for whatever your goals may be, from a large family gatherings to just a cozy stay. Would definitely return for another visit, our Third.

A TRANQUIL RETREAT

The magnificent sunset was something we enjoyed every evening as we paddled our way down the lake. The amenities that accompanied this rental were nothing sort of phenomenal. Fishing, boating, kayaks galore, and a beautiful view no matter which way one turned. The property lends itself for family gatherings and kids (of all ages) enjoy this rich environment. I appreciate having a fully stocked kitchen which enabled me to cook Thanksgiving Dinner for 20 guests. The house had many travel brochures available for near by activities, I've been to every antique store within a 50 mile radius. We loved the books on local history and the private library could have kept me busy for weeks. The fire place was equipped with ample wood and we also enjoyed the outdoor grill. The grandchildren loved the small area for games and toys that came with the property. The owners were awesome and accommodating in so many ways. They provided a wonderful get-a-way for our family at a much needed time and we will forever be grateful for their kindnesses. We highly recommend this property and all I could say would not be good enough! We hope to go back in Thanksgiving 2012. Thank you!
