Lake Escape - 3,600 sq ft Waterfront Lake Lure, Behind Gate of Rumbling Bald

Thank you, Margaret. We loved having you and appreciate how well you took care of the home.

I am very disappointed to read this rating of 8/10. I responded promptly when they reached out with concerns. Guests were aware that this area suffered from a catastrophic flood as a result of Hurricane Helene in 2024. The lake had been closed almost two years for massive cleaning and restoration efforts and when they booked, I was very clear that the future of the lake was in question. Their issue was that the shoreline had “weeds and leaves”, however we cannot bring sand in and the Town is very strict about homeowners doing any lake disturbance (their words) with shoreline until it is drawn down in January. A powerwash of the dock area and furniture was done but no chemicals are allowed to be used near the water. I would have hoped with what devastation this area endured, that more grace would have been given. They were the second family to stay at the house since lake reopened on May 20, 2026 and heavy rain always brings in debris. I did make certain all photos in listing are of current shoreline, and appreciated them pointing that out since I do not want anyone to be misled.

Perfect guests, absolutely a joy to host!
