It’s such a beautiful location. It was so enjoyable walking on the golf cart path one evening around the corner from my condo view. Fun playing trivia. Drove over to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock one day to show some support. Things are really looking up.

Cute and comfy townhome on the golf course. Had everything we needed. Because the lake is closed we were thankful for the pools, basketball, tennis and pickleball courts.

Just a weekend getaway. The weather was not great but we enjoyed our time just catching up and sitting outside. I would have liked to been able to check in a bit earlier and the check out a little later than 10am.So basically we had one full day to enjoy from Friday-Sunday. Very clean and accommodating. Would recommend.

Peace and quite time

It was a beautiful place to visit far from busy life. The property was clean and maintained. Our town home location was great and can enjoy the green glof field and mountain from the deck with a cup of tea. It was enough spacious. We all enjoyed the stay. Thanks !

New Favorite Lake Lure Spot

I loved this place and that it was inside the resort. We were able to rent a golf cart to get around during our stay which was nice. Of all the places we have stayed in Lake Lure this is definitely my new favorite! It was very nicely decorated and updated. We will definitely be reserving this one again.

Nice condo in a great location

The condo was very comfortable for two couples traveling to Lake Lure for a golf outing. It was such a bonus to be able to enjoy the pool and lazy river after golf! The condo was easy to access and well furnished. We only used one bed in the upstairs bedroom, but a family with kids would like the multiple bed options. We were very happy there were barn doors separating the upstairs loft bedroom from the living room below (we initially couldn’t tell from the pictures if it was an open loft or enclosed). Would definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Audra Van Winkle

Host profile image
We are a OSU Buckeye loving family from OHIO!! Lake Lure has been a family vacation destination for our family for nearly 40 years. My parents started taking us to Lake Lure and now multiple generations enjoy the mountains and lake life.

Why they chose this property

We had been looking at properties for a couple of years. When Our Happy Place went on the market my mom fell in love with the views and overall location. Because our children had enjoyed summers swimming in the trout stream pool, hiking, riding golf carts, and swimming in the lake we knew this was a life long dream to make happen.

What makes this property unique

The views are amazing from our front porch. You can walk out in the mornings and just listen to the stillness. You wake to the birds chirping and on many mornings you can hear the trout stream flowing. We love the many adventures you can take and most important the memories to be made. We love Lake Lure!!
