Upon entering this basement apartment, our immediate impression was "oh wow!" The sitting area had a cozy sofa and loveseat with large coffee table on area rugs in front of a huge flat-screen. The dining room seated 8, with a huge fully-appointed kitchen. It is even equipped with a seperate pay-as-you-go stocked drink fridge. One bedroom with queen and dresser; one bedroom with full bed share a large bathroom, shower, and closet. Everything was very clean, tidy, and where it belonged. The decor was farmhouse modern, and luxurious. Our host responded immediately to all our questions and requests. Can't praise them enough. Host provides wifi access, which is otherwise very sporatic in the mountains. Hosts are upstairs but you won't hear them. The driveway is steep like everywhere at Lake Lure, but accessible for any car. The house is 50 yards off main road, but tucked in woods and secluded, very quiet. Great value, greater yet considering the host's willingness to accommodate.
