With plenty of space indoors, on the deck, on the dock, and in the water, our extended family had a great time and felt very much at home. With Verizon service nearly nonexistent and very spotty internet at the house, it was mostly an unplugged week for us which is wonderful for a family vacation. ##### Miriam s.

The house was clean, had all the pans and utensils needed for cooking, a nice fire pit, and a great view of the water from the back deck. We were there in the early spring, so not many people were staying in the other nearby houses, and it was quiet. We used the two kayaks to get out on the water. A well stocked grocery store is about 15 minutes away. ##### Douglas C.

The house is very comfortable, kitchen is stocked with all of the fishes and utensils we might have needed (and our family loves to cook!). We swam, fished, paddle boarded and kayaked off the dock in the quiet cove every day. We also rented a pontoon boat from the local boating company for a couple of days which was fun and convenient for exploring out further on the lake and swimming in other coves. Views are spectacular from the deck. We hope to return soon!! ##### Amy M.

We had a fabulous week. The cove is GORGEOUS. House was stocked with everything we needed. The only issue we had was the internet/tv. We like to watch shows at night and it was really hard to get access. I would recommend maybe upgrading your tv service or internet, but other than that, we loved it! ##### Heather C.

House was great for all from grands to babies as was the access to the lake. Home well equipped for cooking. Clean and comfortable and welcoming. Lots of shade from tree canopy. Plenty of comfy outdoor furniture. Kayaks and life preservers available. Grilled out most nights. Fire pit fun for all. Can’t wait for next summer to return!

This property was exactly as advertised—although the breathtaking view, which we never got tired of, was even better. The house was the perfect mix of rustic, comfortable, and updated, and fully stocked with essentials for cooking. Lots of little things, like a full spice cabinet, lots of grilling utensils, an extra tank of gas for the grill, and life jackets for kids and adults, made it clear that the owner, Martha, has been (successfully) hosting people for quite some time. I live in Asheville so Lake Lure isn't unfamiliar to me, but staying here I felt like I was on a totally new vacation. On top of all this, the owner was extremely communicative and accommodating. My family and I would absolutely stay here again. ##### Adam R.

Wow....this place has it all. Perfect place for a family reunion. I had my parents and my siblings come down from NY for an extended weekend. We loved sitting around the open concept kitchen / dining / living room area and talking til the wee hours of the night. The back deck has an amazing view of the lake and the mountain on the other side. We could see waterfalls cascading down the mountain after it had rained the night before. The house itself was stocked with everything you could possibly need, and there was plenty of bedrooms for a large family. The Herrings were very responsive to our inquiries and clearly cared about making our stay the best it could be. This was my family's first time staying in the Lake Lure area, and we're already talking about planning another stay. Cant wait to come back. ##### Kevin C.

Beautiful view, comfy home, lovely visit with family. Perfect location to feel "away from it all" but close enough to stores, hikes, and activities for all ages. Lots of shade to keep the heat away. We loved kayaking, swimming off the dock, and lounging on the porch. We had plenty of space for my the little ones, the teens, all the parents, and a set of grandparents. Martha made sure we were welcome and well-equipped for our stay. FYI: Don't plan to bring your own kayaks (Martha has some anyway) - the registration for lake use is very expensive. Do plan to get a fishing license. Patrol boats are out a lot and monitor closely. Bait can be found at the Marina in the town of Lake Lure. Roads to the house are curvy and windy but any vehicle can make it. We enjoyed it and are so thankful for our week away! Thanks! ##### Ashley G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristy N. 18 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyed our stay First, the great ;;; The view from the back deck is spectacular! It is an end lot, which provides privacy. We loved that, but see the not so great comments, because that comes with pros and cons. The proximity to the lake, the back deck and furniture provided, and dining area, kitchen area, and den are fabulous! The wood floors and cabinets reminded me of my grandmother's house. It is not modern, so, if that is your preference, this is probably not the house for you. If you appreciate old, quality craftsmanship, then you will enjoy the feeling of nostalgia that greets you when you enter this home. Communication with the manager or owner (I'm not sure) is prompt, informative, friendly, and accurate. The fact that linens, towels, and household essentials, like trashbags and paper products, are provied is phenomenal. I really appreciated not having to pack 1/2 the house for just a weekend trip. Second, the good . . . The house is large and will accomodate groups while giving everyone some privacy. Having 3 bathrooms allowed each couple on our trip to have their own space. The location is fairly close to restaurants and shops. Our commute down the mountain to civilization was only about 10 minutes. Now the not so great . . . The bedrooms and upstairs sitting area are fairly outdated. The pillows need to be replaced and, if you don't take your own with you, you will regret it when you remove the pillowcases and look at the stains on the old pillows. There is some water damage to the ceiling in the lower-level bedroom, and the home had a bit of a musty smell on the upper level. The refrigerator has a small leak, which required us to mop it up multiple times each day. I would think the manager knows about this, because it is has resulted in some water damage to the wood flooring in front of the refrigerator, and it would take some time to cause that damage. We arrived at night, and found it a bit difficult to see where we were supposed to go. The final road to the home is narrow and, at times, it was a tight fit for a full-size truck. Those of us with Verizon had no cell service. The one in our group with AT&T had service, although it was spotty at times. The TV would not receive a signal, which wasn't really a problem for us as we were busy with other activities. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend the home! We will certainly consider it again when we return to the area. ##### Kristy N.

It was such a charming home with everything we needed. We loved the privacy of being at the end of the cove. The view of the lake and mountains was wonderful. We had adequate parking and it was great to walk right into the house with no one xtra steps for my elderly mom. Loved our stay! ##### Anne T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024
