Beautiful stay!

This is a great property on a quiet cove on Lake Lure. So peaceful! The deck spaces were so expansive. Indoors, the place was clean and roomy- great views in the living room & dining room. We had good communication with Marissa and happy we could stay after the Helene hit the area in the fall. We wish the community the best as it rebuilds Chimney Rock.

Nice! Quiet, relaxing memorial Day weekend getaway

Yes the lake was closed and off limits but that meant nobody else was using it so it was nice and quiet. Serene and relaxing. Just what we wanted. Talk about unobstructed views. This place has got one killer view! And if you can't swim in the lake or use it, you better be able to look at it

Amazing place!

The view is one of the best in the area! Super fun for kids to go out and around the house to explore on downtime Probaly the cleanest place I’ve been to The driveway is a bit steep but once you do it once it’s not a big deal Also the first time we went down the drive was night time and we are from Florida so not used to slopes Most cozy and charming place !

Great Get-away

If you’re looking for a quiet place on the lake this place is perfect. The cove was perfect for swimming, floating, and using the kayaks/paddle boards. The outdoor spaces invited you to lounge and gather. Home was clean and comfortable having all of the household amenities one could need. We look forward to returning!

We had a great vacation with our youngest two boys. The house was perfect for our family. Beds were comfortable, nice linens. The bunk beds being close to the master bedroom was perfect. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. The outdoor space was everything we needed and the covered porch was very relaxing. We loved the property and would visit again.

Lake Lure Vacation

We took our four granddaughters to Marissa’s lake cabin for a week. As we walked in we were greeted by soft music, beautiful decor, and a tray of brownies. The girls had a blast on the lake and we were not too far from Asheville and Charlotte. We have stayed at several VRBOs over the years and they have been good, but this was definitely one of our favorite stays.

Anniversary weekend at Lake Lure

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend here: the setting was beautiful during the day, the stars were amazing at night, and it was wonderfully quiet. We loved the open concept and the view downstairs. Marissa was incredibly responsive to our requests and the weekend was over way too fast. We enjoyed hiking at Chimney Rock as well as Eagle Rock (especially the Tunnel Trail). We hope to return for another visit!

Family vacay

Other than having to share 1 bathroom if you didn’t want to walk down steep stairs in the middle of the night, this was a very nice lake cottage. Perfect for our needs. If you don’t mind a few steep steps it’s very Comfortable with a beautiful view and easy access to the lake. Could use a little more in the kitchen and the boat dock needs work. I would definitely stay there again.

Overall it was a wonderful stay. The outside has some deferred maintenance that could be hard for smaller children or older people to navigate. When we were there the lake must have been high because there was no Beach. Cute little cove with a wonderful view.

About the host

Hosted by Marissa Brooks

Host profile image
We've been renovating everyone else's property for years and are so excited to get to do one for our family and for yours! Chad grew up on the water, fishing and tooling around in boats of all sizes so this is a dream come true. Come share our lake house dream.

Why they chose this property

The history of a place, or a home is important to our family and this house on Hummingbird Cove really spoke to that sense of place and time. We bought the house from a family that had owned it for over forty years. Their strong connection to the lake was passed on to us and we have tried to honor that relationship between the house, the community and the lake itself.

What makes this property unique

There are lots of houses on the lake, this one stands alone for having all the "pieces" perfectly put together to create a magical vacation. The quiet cove for swimming and kayaking, the big lake for adventures, thoughtfully renovated and decorated spaces to make inside as inviting as the beauty outside and the attention to detail that meant the world to us, and hopefully to your family as well.
