Other things to note: We are fortunate to be in an area where many species of wildlife make their home. We hope you will get to see plenty of deer, birds, and bunnies during your stay. You also have the chance to see other wildlife that, while cute or exciting, could harm you. Some of those animals are bears and various species of poisonous snakes. It is best to watch your step when walking and be aware of your surroundings, especially at night when our night vision isn’t so great. It is also wise not to leave food unattended or outside overnight because many of these animals consider them tasty treats. While fun and cute to watch, it is dangerous for us and them. Be Our Guest In addition to some of the most breathtaking views you will ever see, Western North Carolina offers several entertainment and activity options. See the Amenities and Local Area Guide for just a sampling of what the area offers. Pack your clothes, pick up some groceries (stores nearby), then sit back and relax. We look forward to you being our guest. Dogs (1 or 2) are welcome in this home. Smoking is prohibited in all of our vacation rental homes. Parking for four vehicles.

We had an amazing time in Lake Lure. I would definitely recommend staying here. The house was very private and had an amazing walk in shower in the master bathroom. Our favorite part of the house was definitely the wrap around porch. ##### jessica w.

This was a fantastic choice, last minute, to escape our beach plans during hurricaine Debbie. Was sunny and tranquil the whole time which was enhanced by this beautiful property. Plenty of seclusion, peaceful brook to relax by. We saw multiple critters around which was fun, even the evidence that bears come visit is neat. We had a nice relaxing time. ##### Shaka M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren P. 10 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy home, quiet neighborhood We enjoyed our stay at the property. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful with plenty of privacy from the neighbors. We enjoyed the large porch and kitchen. Wish the porch were gated for the dogs and wish the master had a real door instead of the barn doors. Other than that, no complaints. It’s a great deal for a nice house. ##### Lauren P. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Chia-Chang W. 24 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Nice house We picked this property majorly because of the EV charger. It worked well. As a whole, our stay was a nice experience. ##### Chia-Chang W. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ---
