Best Waterfront on Lake Lure. Family Fun! Specials Year-Around

Our stay was very enjoyable. The property was just as the owner presented it. It was clean and provided everything we needed. I want to come back in the summer when I can enjoy all the outside areas.

First of all, I can say it was a pleasure communicating with the owner Jason. He is very accommodating and responds to your questions and concerns almost immediately upon request. The home is nestled on the side of a hill looking out on the beautiful lake. The view is spectacular! One of our favorite things about the home were the many places to gather as a family. You can sit out in the screened in porch and read a book, lay out on the deck, or sit at one of the many outdoor tables. The home itself is dated and could use some updating, but it met our needs. There are plenty of beds and you can easily accommodate a large family. The kitchen is small and there is no place to formally sit for dinner as a family, but there are plenty of places to sit outside and eat and enjoy the view.

I would recommend this home for anyone who is looking for spectacular views and lake access for water activities. My children loved jumping off the roof of the boat house and fishing off the dock. If you are looking for Marriot type accommodations, I would suggest you look elsewhere. For our family, it was perfect (beyond the weather....it rained nearly everyday we were there).

The only negative comment I could make was the paddle boat. The first time we tried to use it....it broke...which was a bummer, but I'm sure Jason will get it fixed for future visitors. I look forward to renting this property in the future.

We spent a week at the Allen cabin recently and enjoyed every minute! The pictures don't do it justice so we arrived with fingers crossed and we were pleasantly surprised. Parking spaces for 2 cars. There were more than enough beds for our family of 5. And they were very comfy. The kitchen was well stocked, and used the grill a lot! Kids made use of the fire pit for marsh mellows. Plenty of seating to eat-outdoors. The hammock was nice. It was obvious that this is a family home and is enjoyed as such. The screen porch was utilized a ton. Was very appreciative of it being a pet friendly rental as well. The boat house-of course is the best part! Huge upper deck with tons of seating. A great high jump. And enjoyed the shaded lower dock as well. The steps into the water is a good addition. A wonderful view of the mountains. We are pretty low key and spent most of our time reading, swimming, and relaxing! The canoe and pedal boat were great-kids (age 15,11,7) all used them. Plenty of life jackets and floats so we really didn't need to bring anything! Great communication by the owners as well-we didn't have any problems but they were very responsive to questions, emails, etc. and our deposit was returned super promptly which was nice! It is not "fancy" or "new" but we liked that about it-feel like a rustic vacay is exactly what we were looking for and it fit the bill perfectly! With 3 kids and a dog it's nice to not worry too much about "messing anything up"! We have vacationed at lake lure before and while most of the docks have wonderful views the view from the house in this one was great too which was a pleasant surprise. Not too many steps. We enjoyed everything about it and would def stay again! Thank you for sharing it with us! If I could think of any negative-we wished for a dishwasher a couple times...obviously not a big complaint, more of a convience. If the feel you're going for is "old time" rustic lake cabin in our opinion this one is perfect!

We had a great week here - the view and the deck absolutely can't be beat, they are amazing.

This was one of two houses that I rented for a family reunion on Lake Lure. We had children aged two to eighteen, as well as adults over 75. Everyone had an awesome time. The house was well furnished, with a nice kitchen. The outside accessed spare bedroom had a full sized refrigerator/freezer which was quite convenient for cold beverages while on the upper deck. The outside deck was spacious, with outdoor games for the kids and a great high jump into the lake. They had a nice paddle boat and canoe, as well as floats, life-vests, and paddles. The house was clean and well kept, and the views were gorgeous. I highly recommend this house.
