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.

Relaxing, Rejuvenating and Beautiful

Mountain Lure is just as described and more. The setting is beautiful. Nature surrounds you. The view is gorgeous. It was wonderful just watching the mountains, sky and clouds. Even watching the rain as it came and went. The night sky is unbelievable. The house is clean and welcoming. The kitchen is well setup for any number of culinary delights. Everything throughout the house is labeled to assist in finding items as well as for the light switches. The hosts are very accommodating and available to help however they can to make your stay all that they can. It was a wonderful stay. Once of the best vacation homes that we have rented and we have rented a number of them over the years.

Amazing views!

We loved staying here! So quiet, comfortable and relaxing. The views were amazing from every room in the home. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. Close to Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, and Black Mountain which were places we wanted to explore. Hillman's Brewery in Old Fort was another which was very good and relatively close. Also loved visiting the waterfall in the Gateway Community. Michelle was a great host and stayed in touch throughout our visit to make sure we had everything we needed. Hope to get back for another visit!

What a great hidden gem

We typically stay at a cabin in pigeon forge twice a year but they are generally “neighborhoods” and stacked next to each other. This year we wanted something a little more secluded so we tried this area, and what a great decision it was. There’s a cabin across the street but when you’re in the cabin, the only view you have is of the mountainside, which is just amazing. You are well off the beaten path for sure. The only downside to this location (if you want to classify it as that) is that you don’t want to leave. We’re all about going out a few times a day and being served somewhere while trying local diners,etc.. this unit makes me want to pack a cooler and bring enough food for a few days to actually just stay in and enjoy nature, cook on the grill,etc… I’ve already shared the link several times on my Facebook and friends are planning on going as well. All for all, this unit is an 11 out of 10… will definitely be back

Wonderful Mountain Oasis

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mountain Lure in May, 2024. The owners were constantly in touch before and during our stay ensuring that we were completely satisfied with our time at their rental home. The house was immaculate, well provisioned, and comfortable. The views from the bedrooms and the backyard balcony were incredible. Wonderfully quiet and relaxing, we can envision ourselves returning time and time again to this property. Thank you for offering such a great rental!

Breathtaking Views!

We were awestruck the moment we walked through the front door at the layered mountain view. The winding drive up the mountain was worth it! You will not be disappointed. Plus the owners have provided a well-stocked kitchen as well as bathroom essentials. They provided driving directions to Lake George and the Waterfall in the Gateway community and also nearby towns, which were very helpful. I wish we could have stayed longer. It was hard to leave.

Wonderful time in the mountains!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. My brother-in-law has mobility issues so the master bath walk-in was a life saver for him. Everything- furniture, appliances, kitchen supplies, bathrooms, etc- were well maintained and comfortable. I highly recommend these accommodations!!

Our mountain getaway

We chose this house largely because of the view out the living room windows and from the deck but the entire home was a joy! The beds were very comfortable-we slept very well! The kitchen was very well stocked. The home owner Michelle was available and communication was easy. Although things we chose to do were an hour drive or so (Asheville, Biltmore, Hiking, Grandfather Mountain) it was well worth it to enjoy this home!

Beautiful View!

We enjoyed our honeymoon week staying at this beautiful cabin. The huge windows and ample deck, as well as the patio below gave us plenty of options to drink in the view of the surrounding mountains. We also really appreciated how easy it was to access the front door from the driveway — just a couple porch steps is all. Thank you!

Mountain Escape

This property defines relaxation. I work all the time and it is always hard to find down time. On this vacation, I sought to do just that - relax. Bring a good book. Get by the fireplace. Turn on some nice tunes and enjoy the view - especially at night. And the stars...oh my! It is a great place to hit the reset button. My family and I will be returning.

Spring Break Getaway

Wonderful home and property, house had everything we needed and more! Perfect for our family of five. Fantastic view and atmosphere. Home is in a very nice gated community. Traveled with a Chrysler Town & Country van and had no issues getting to the location. Only 15-20 min to the closest store, local brewery (Hillman's...be sure to visit!), and the highway. Communication with the owners was top notch. Would love to stay here again.
