Beautiful, well-appointed and clean cabin. The view from the living room window was fantastic. We saw black bear and turkey in our yard. Quiet and minimal light pollution so star gazing was phenomenal. A wonderful cabin to return to each evening after a day of touring.

Lovely Property

We loved staying at Mountain Lure. The house has incredible views with large windows and a sizable back deck. The house was clean and has everything you’d need. The host is very thoughtful and communicates well. There is a lot of wildlife around the property. We even got to see a black bear while driving down the road for dinner one evening.

We had a wonderful stay at this really roomy cabin. The views are amazing - see the top section of Lake Lure, all the mountain ridges, and can even see to South Carolina on a clear day. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything needed to cook meals including a gas stove and electric skillet. Two floors, each with a living room and bedroom/bathroom plus the loft. We definitely would recommend to anyone else considering it. The road leading up to the property has amazing views too, but gets extremely steep with switchbacks. Make sure you have good brakes! Being a gated community means there is very little traffic on the road and it was extremely quiet there. If you are looking for a peaceful location to relax, this is it.The only two things I would say that could have improved our stay was there is no blinds for the windows (which I understand, because wow, what a view - why block that). In the daytime, the sun took over the kitchen and main floor living room. We were there in winter, so not sure how the sun would differ in how it comes in during other seasons. The other issue for me was the furniture in the main living room didn't have the back support I needed, but the love seat in the loft did, so that was the ideal place for me to sit (plus it still had the amazing view without the direct sunlight).The host was very kind - even texted us the day of our arrival to make sure we had what we needed. Our thanks to them for their great home offering.

My husband and I have stayed at many properties through VRBO. Most of them have been very nice. This place far surpasses all of them! The host, Michelle, went above and beyond! She was extremely easy to communicate with, the check-in process was so easy. We had one little glitch but that was not her problem at all. I called her and she and her husband immediately helped us to remedy the situation. The place is extraordinary and we’ve never stayed anywhere that had instructions on how to do everything from the gas logs to the grill to the fire pit!! Each and every switch was clearly marked and I can’t think of one single thing that they forgot to do to make our stay very special. Everything about this home is 5 stars plus, but the VIEW is as good as any view we’ve seen even from the Biltmore Estate!

About the host

Hosted by David & Michelle Buhler

Host profile image
We've spent most of our lives in the Southeastern United States and when looking for our dream vacation home, we knew we had to find a home where we could relax and enjoy nature. We love spending time on the deck - bird watching and looking for other wildlife while taking in the beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains around Lake Lure! We rarely spend time indoors as the beauty of the area is too tempting to miss! We enjoy hiking, birding, wildlife & landscape photography and just spending time in nature.

Why they chose this property

We chose this home because it has everything we wanted for our dream vacation home--a tranquil setting with amazing views where we could enjoy nature, unwind and relax. We found all of this and more in our Gateway Mountain home. We trust that you will enjoy our little piece of paradise as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Beautiful mountain views greet you as soon as you walk in the door as the large wall of windows allows you to enjoy the outside while you are still inside. Enjoy beautiful views of Lake Lure and surrounding mountains. Drive on all paved roads to our home in the gated community of Gateway Mountain.
