We just left this beautiful home for our annual friends/family trip to the area. This home is very spacious and has all of the fun water activities available to do in this lake front property. The outdoor living was our favorite part! Bocce ball, canoe, paddle boards, inflatable boat, other water inflatables, basketball, fire pit, corn hole, fishing to name a few. We loved that we had access to rumbling bald resort, which is a 7 minute drive away. Check-in and out was an easy process. I would recommend this home for a fun getaway in a beautiful area! ##### Nicole A.

Our first trip back to Lake Lure since before Hurricane Helene last year, and the Magic is still there! Serenity Cove with 4 masters on 3 floors was a lovely, comfortable home base for my husband, me and our 4 young adults to hike Rumbling Bald trails, take a pickleball lesson, use the gym and other resort offerings. Beautiful lakefront views from screened deck with dock, kayaks, bocce ball pit, firepit and other home entertainment contributed to peaceful vibe in unexpectedly cooler weather. We also visited nearby Tryon Equestrian Center where many Lake Lure and Chimney Rock merchants like RockCreation took space after the storm. We were happy to revisit Victory Kitchen and Farm Stand, Rumbling Bald's Legends Restaurant and The Canoe, a new spot with a great view, food and bar, and wonderful live music from Julianne Jade. As always, the residents were genuine and obviously worked extremely hard to ready the area for visitors. This was our third trip to Lake Lure and as a family, we are hooked! Our local hosts, the Gages with Buffalo Junction were responsive and gracious before and during our stay. ##### Janice H. Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna M. 1 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Complete Serenity The house and the view was wonderful. 4 king beds with their own baths was major. The porch was so peaceful and the wildlife was so exciting to observe. Down by the lake had everything from kayak, paddle board and floating mat. The kitchen has everything you need. We absolutely loved this family vacation. Buffalo Junction was so organized and checked in when we arrived and when we checked out. Looking forward to coming back. Great family vacation. ##### Donna M.

The house was very roomy with a huge downstairs for the kids and a wonderful screened back porch facing the lake! There were water crafts and life jackets of all sizes and a floating dock for great fun! The house was clean and comfortable and parking was easy! The pool and lazy river were 8 minutes away as well as golf and restaurants! We ALL had a wonderful time in Serenity Cove! ##### Deborah R.

Reviewer Comments: We had a great long weekend. House was spectacular, all we had hoped for. Right on the small lake with all the amenities described. Peaceful and relaxing, be sure to bring sun screen. Due to the limited time, we were not able to take advantage of the Rumbling Bald activities. We will definitely be returning in the future! ps...management company was superb and professional...welcoming us and checking in periodically to be sure all was well. ##### Scott C.
