Great property with Chimney Rock View

Overall it's a great property with a view of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. It's a small drive from Chimney Rock State Park where we enjoyed the Fall colors. The only demerit that I found was that the bath tubs and the wash basins were not having proper drainage due to which water was not passing through smoothly. Hope it will be worked upon in near future.
