This was the second summer that we rented this house. There were still things that had not been finished since our first stay in July 2023. The bath tub in the master bath. Could not use. TV in master bedroom was not hooked up.
Not very clean. Trash under alot of the furniture.
The house is wonderful. The living room furniture has been updated since the photos I saw when booking. Great location- on the water and near restaurants, Chimney Rock and grocery store. The cove where the home is located is calm and peaceful.
We had a fabulous time at this amazing property. Clean and just as advertised. We loved having access to the kayaks and paddleboard. We also chose to rent a boat for part of our stay and were able to have it tied up on the dock. Highly recommend this property for on-lake access.
Four siblings, 2 brother in laws and adult niece and nephew stayed in the house. It was nice and big and accommodated us all well. There are only 2 issues that we had with house. First a hand rail at the main entrance of the house would be nice. and the second would that the cleaning people need to move the couches in the first floor living room. Something rolled under the couch and we when my husband went to retrieve it the condition under the couch was shocking. Food, dust, empty Gatorade bottle.
Iâll begin this review by saying weâve stayed at dozens of high end properties around the country and this one was fabulous in many ways. The location on Lake Lure could not have been better. It had easy access to a nice grocery store and gas station (< 1 mile) and plenty of restaurants. The town of Lake Lure has a great little beach area and marina and the town of Chimney Rock is a fun afternoon of small shops and of course hiking to one of the most amazing views in NC. (5-7 miles away).
We really enjoyed our stay here! The location was quiet and tucked away (a little alcove off of Lake Lure). The house was perfect for our family of four adults and 3 teenagers. The teenagers loved having the downstairs all to themselves. We only experienced two minor hiccups; the code for the key box sent by the property management company was wrong and the upstairs oven didn't work, but the owner was very responsive and gave the new code and offered to have someone come to look at the oven the next day; we declined as there was a working oven downstairs. The outside boat house dock was perfect for taking in the water view and the inside of the house was very clean when we got there. The kitchen was well stocked also. We appreciated how the house was close to all of our excursions (Chimney Rock, Zip Lining and Hickory Nut Brewery), We will definitely back.
What a fantastic property! We absolutely loved the layout of the house (which was very clean and well-stocked with everything you might need). The location on the lake was absolutely perfect for our three year old, who was always safe in the water tucked away in a cove. We will be back!
This home has it allâtons of bedrooms, lots of indoor and outdoor spaces to spend time together, a large kitchen, and a great dock to tie up a boat. Everything was clean, organized and in perfect working order. Our family had an absolute blast and everyone rated the house a perfect 10! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home.

This property is in a perfect location. Beautiful views beautiful area. Lots of room here. Had a wonderful time.
We absolutely loved everything about this house and Lake Lure. The location was perfect. We were close to everything and there were a lot of things to do. We went hiking, took the boat tour of the lake, went zip lining, took a family picture at the top of Chimney Rock and also at Pearson's Falls. We enjoyed Hickory Nut Gorge Brewery which was right on the river and also Burntshirt Vineyards which has a beautiful view of Chimney Rock and the falls. The house itself was perfect for us. The 5 teens stayed in the lower level with a pool table and kitchenette. The big draw for me was the living area with 3 large leather couches that fit all 10 of us. I have nothing negative to say about the house but I would caution anyone with small children. There are a lot of stairs. Two baby gates were provided. I highly recommend this house.

We celebrated my mom's 80th birthday here. We had 5 adults and 3 adult (in their 20s) children. There was plenty of room for everyone The downstairs, with three bedrooms a second kitchen area and, most importantly, a pool table, was an added bonus. It was a cold wet weekend in December, so we spent a lot of time it the house and there was plenty of room for everyone. I can imagine how much fun this house would be in the summer. It's in a great location on the lake. The owner was personable and accommodating. NC had a snow storm the week before we came and the owner called to let us know the house was ok before we arrived. I'd definitely go back and stay in this house.
We were horse showing in Tryon, and got completely rained out one day. The beaufiful views and cozy living spaces made our rainy day so much more enjoyable!
We enjoyed our stay at this home. We wanted to have one last "hurrah" before my kids school started back up. The home was in a great location in a cove on the lake. It was a pet friendly, lake house that met our needs well. The only reason I did not mark it a five star was that it needs some basic updates, for example, the roof on the dock needs new boards/wood as some feel corroded and at least one chair needs to be replaced. However, with that being said, we had a very nice stay. It was quiet for us, we grilled most meals, and swam/paddle-boarded, kayak most of the day. We also rented a pontoon boat which fit on the dock nicely for the duration of our stay (highly recommend this). The home had a lot of seasonings, and other things needed for cooking our meals. There is an Ingles Grocery Store very close by which was nice. It was an easy going, relaxing vacation. I would recommend this home to others interested in a nice, quiet, relaxing getaway.
Overall, the house was wonderful! We have been to numerous vacation homes and this home by far is stocked better than any other as far as appliances, utensils, towels, etc. The boat house was wonderful as well. We did lose power for 10 hours during our stay... thankfully it was at night and the house stayed below 75. Just was unable to use our baby monitor for little one. Although this was due to a mudslide/power outage. We also brought a boat for our use with us... mistake. They charge $550 to put in and you have to have proof of $300,000 liability insurance just to put a boat in! Just wanted to put that out there in case other renters have the same idea. We live on a huge lake in SC and it is free to put in so I would have never assumed the fees would be that outrageous... again that is NOT a review due to this home. Home was great!
This was a great rental! The house is in excellent condition, and is better equipped than any other home rentals we've experienced in many trips to Lake Lure. The boathouse and dock are in good shape equipped with kayaks and a standup paddle board. The entire outdoor living space was very nice. The house is situated in Tryon Bay Cove which is a perfect place for kids to swim and for paddle boarding. The neighbors in the cove are very friendly. Also was nice to be right around a the corner from Latkins on the Lake for a drink or meal and very close to Ingles for groceries. Would definitely recommend this house and our family plans to stay here again. The owner, Dan, is very responsive and easy to work with. He was quick to help when any issue came up.
This is my first time using VRBO and I was skeptical that I would find a good place for a college reunion. I was completely wrong. This location is located on a quiet section of the lake and had all the amenities you need for large groups. I will definitely bring my family next time.
