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.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
The elephant in the room was the fact that the view was of the dam and a road not of the lake shore. Thus we had the worst view on the lake. This should have been disclosed. The pictures omitted this fact. There was no couch or comfortable chairs in the cabin beside a rocker in the bedroom. We had no TV for three days. The owner didn’t tell us that that there was one in the bedroom. It was hidden behind a wall hanging. The futon in the living room was very hard and uncomfortable but better than the wooden stools. No relaxing in this place. No decent coffee cups. A small hodgepodge of kitchen items only. I don’t believe any of the 10/10 reviews. This was the most poorly equipped VRBO I have stayed in. We loved lake lure. Just wish we had stayed elsewhere.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Aug 2026
I have been renting from this view for 12 years and this is the first time anyone has ever commented in a derogatory manner. The dam is about 200 yards from our house and there is a bridge on top. This is not a main road. People love the charm of our bridge since it is only 1 lane. It is quite common to see people pulled over on either end admiring the view below. Also, our cove is a non wake zone area. Our guests enjoy being in the lake knowing that boats will not be rocking them and they enjoy the openness of our cove. Behind the bridge are mountains covered with trees. Many of our neighbors rent out their homes and we all have had a thriving business over the years, I was first notified of the TV not working on our guests 2 night. They asked me to reboot the system which I did. Unfortunately, this did not resolve the problem. They suggested that it might be the firestick. The following morning I drove into town and purchased a new firestick. Our guests were in the lake all day. I told them to let me know when they were back inside and I would come down and put in the new firestick. The Firestick turned out not to be the problem. My neighbor happened to be up for the weekend with his family. He is in the computer business. I asked him to come over and see if he could figure out what was wrong. He immediately identified a glitch in the system and got it to work again. The only way a person can leave a review is by booking thru VRBO.
