Beautiful, well-appointed and clean cabin. The view from the living room window was fantastic. We saw black bear and turkey in our yard. Quiet and minimal light pollution so star gazing was phenomenal. A wonderful cabin to return to each evening after a day of touring.

Lovely Property

We loved staying at Mountain Lure. The house has incredible views with large windows and a sizable back deck. The house was clean and has everything you’d need. The host is very thoughtful and communicates well. There is a lot of wildlife around the property. We even got to see a black bear while driving down the road for dinner one evening.

Mountain Getaway

We had a wonderful, but short three night stay! The house was extremely clean, well organized and had everything you needed for your time there. The views were amazing and there are so many hiking trails to choose from that are near by. I would definitely stay again so that we could explore the area some more.

About the host

Hosted by David & Michelle Buhler

Host profile image
We've spent most of our lives in the Southeastern United States and when looking for our dream vacation home, we knew we had to find a home where we could relax and enjoy nature. We love spending time on the deck - bird watching and looking for other wildlife while taking in the beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains around Lake Lure! We rarely spend time indoors as the beauty of the area is too tempting to miss! We enjoy hiking, birding, wildlife & landscape photography and just spending time in nature.

Why they chose this property

We chose this home because it has everything we wanted for our dream vacation home--a tranquil setting with amazing views where we could enjoy nature, unwind and relax. We found all of this and more in our Gateway Mountain home. We trust that you will enjoy our little piece of paradise as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Beautiful mountain views greet you as soon as you walk in the door as the large wall of windows allows you to enjoy the outside while you are still inside. Enjoy beautiful views of Lake Lure and surrounding mountains. Drive on all paved roads to our home in the gated community of Gateway Mountain.
