Great week on Lake Lure

Wonderful lake house directly on Lake Lure (cove). Property was as described, great amenities, comfortable bed, quiet (at the end of draw down). Convenient to grocery/gas/ great food and things to do. Owner was very communicative and very attentive to come check all equipment (canoes, paddle board, kayak) when the lake opened. Great views from every deck (upstairs, side and by the hot tub). Best restful vacation and will definitely return!

Great spot right on the water

Cannot say enough about the location! Was superb for water access and relaxation. The only negative was the stairs and steep grade from the street. The stairs are not for the faint of heart! Loading and unloading was very difficult. The fact they let you bring dogs is WONDERFUL however there is no grassy area to walk them and the cars go very fast around the corner just up the stairs so you have to keep that leash on!! We made do but it was not easy finding spots for the dogs to ‘go’. We were warned of this fact beforehand but decided we could work with it. The power went out first day for 6 hours and we were never able to get the jacuzzi hot again after it cooled down from that ( even after unplugging and restarting) Also the tv buffered constantly making watching tv very frustrating. Having said that, the spot was relaxing and clean. The king bed was comfy and the shower had great water pressure.
