This awesome property is on the bottom level of a beautiful 3 story cabin just steps away from Lake Lure! The rental is very clean and spacious. The owners were very welcoming and provided us with restaurant and hiking ideas. We had access to the many outdoor spaces and enjoyed coffee on the porch every morning!

Great stay on Lake Lure

Great spot on the lake. Quiet and relaxing. Apartment was spotless∋cely decorated and had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the dock and taking the kayaks out. Unfortunately, we had lots of rain first two days, but lots of places to sit outside and relax under covered deck. Great restaurant right up the road too. We would definitely stay here again.

Anniversary Getaway

Lake Lure and Chimney Rock are beautiful and so was our experience staying here. Close to everything, if you want to go sightseeing. But its hard to beat the views from the kayaks that are included in the rental. Owners are super nice, but you will easily forget you are all staying in the same home. We will be back!

So relaxing!

My stay was in early February so it was very quiet and exactly the getaway I needed. The bungalow had everything I needed for a very comfortable stay. Mara was so welcoming and I could tell that she would be quick to help if I had had any problems. The area is beautiful in the winter, I’m looking forward to seeing it when it’s warm and bustling.

This was a second visit, the first was so nice!

We first visited Bill's Bungalow on Lake Lure in July. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked a return trip for August. The best part about this property for is is the opportunity to rest and relax. The owners are friendly and helpful and the apartment is clean and modern. The lake water was a little stirred up this time (after two tropical storms), but we still loved our stay. It's our favorite lake escape!

Is 6 stars possible???

Hoping this review helps others pick this place because I chose this place based on reading all the positive reviews about it. And they weren’t lying. My girlfriend and I stayed there for three of most wonderful days/nights of our lives. The bungalow has everything you want/need. The location on the lake couldn’t be any better for serenity and positive vibes. We were lake amateurs, however, we are now lake aficionados thanks to what Mara and Frank gave us. Which was a beautiful and amazing mini vacation/getaway. Don’t pass on this gem! Hope we can get back there in the future!!!

Relaxing stay

My husband and I had a very relaxing time. We did enjoy ourselves! The apartment is just the right size. However the pictures online are a little misleading. The boathouse on the lake with dockside chairs were nothing like in the pictures. The furniture on the dock/pier was not clean or organized at all. Also there are several stairs to climb to the bungalow/apartment. So if you have back or knee pain/issues you may need to look elsewhere. This was my fault but I was not aware the bungalow was attached to the owners main house. Other than the abundance of stairs and unorganized pier/deck, and attached main house we had a nice time.

Wonderful Property!

Everything was wonderful about this property! It is an easy drive to restaurants, shops and the grocery store. The home owners live on the top 2 floors and they are very nice and accommodating. We loved having a covered deck with a grill, as well as access to the dock and kayaks. We would definitely stay here again!

We had such a wonderful time enjoying the gracious hospitality of our host. We had limited time to stay and was accommodated. Had a yummy dessert brought to us to enjoy and Our pup Rusty loved his time at the lake riding in the kayak with dad. Left my new cell charger and Thankyou Myra for mailing it to me💕💕💕💕. We are definitely coming back for another visit 👍

We really enjoyed our stay in Lake Lure. The property was perfectly located. We loved being able to swim off the dock with our dog and having access to the owners’ kayaks. Highly recommend this property.

Why they chose this property

We live on the first floor of the house. There is a floor in between that serves as an art studio and office. We love Lake Lure and are happy to share our boat house and toys with you.

What makes this property unique

Cozy place for 2. Great getaway for 2 friends, couples or a couple with a small child. We love dogs and have 2 of our own. If your dog is not friendly and or doesn't get along with other dogs, please do not bring him/her. Also, if you are not pet friendly, this may not be the place for you. Our dogs are very sociable.
