We had such a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The view of the lake was beautiful — peaceful, relaxing, and the perfect spot for a getaway. The space itself was cute, very clean, and thoughtfully maintained, which made us feel right at home.Mara, the owner, was fantastic to work with. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, making everything easy and stress-free.We loved it so much that we’ve already rebooked for mid-summer!

This awesome property is on the bottom level of a beautiful 3 story cabin just steps away from Lake Lure! The rental is very clean and spacious. The owners were very welcoming and provided us with restaurant and hiking ideas. We had access to the many outdoor spaces and enjoyed coffee on the porch every morning!
