Beautiful Home With Views of Lake Lure

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Buffalo Shoals Outlook is a beautiful, spacious house with views of Lake Lure and blue ridge mountains. We loved the movie theatre room and used the hot tub daily. The kitchen was very well equipped and a dream to cook in. Beds were comfortable and the house was spotless. Communication with the management agency was seller.Sadly, our trip was interrupted by Hurricane Helene and the terrible damage in Western North Carolina. We so enjoyed our visit to the area and hope recovery proceeds quickly for the good people who live in the area.

Amazing Getaway!

My close friends, family, and I were in town for a bachelor party and we loved the property! The home had everything we needed to make it feel like home and we were impressed with all it had to offer. The house was clean and well taken care of and we'd love to visit again in the future.

A True Gem

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property served us very well, start to finish! Spotless, well-appointed and well-equipped, comfortable, with a convenient north-end location. The property managers were extremely kind, knowledgeable of both the area and home, and provided the correct balance of support without being over-bearing. The views, the movie theatre and game room, hot tub, and BGE kept us entertained while not on the run. The unusual heatwave kept us from enjoying the firepit. We played golf at both Apple Valley & Bald Mountain, toured the Biltmore & hiked Chimney Rock, rented a pontoon on the Lake. We enjoyed dining at the Lake House, La Strada, Victory (3x), Legends, and Black Mtn Bistro. We found the location very convenient (5-min ea) to Rumbling Bald, Apple Valley, Victory Kitchen; 15-min to south-end restaurants and Ingles grocery (btw best vacay grocery ever!); 25-min to Lake Lure Marina/Chimney Rock.When we return to Lake Lure, this will be the first home we check availability to stay! Thanks for hosting us and helping make our vacay outstanding!

Summer break with family

The home was very nice and well maintained. Our family enjoyed the setting with the lake view and many other features. We spent our nights in the movie room and lower level playing pool, cornhole, or cards. Great place for families with plenty of entertainment in the house and surrounding area.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As luxury house managers ourselves, we tip our hats to Sue and Steve. Beautiful and spotless private residence with many activities to keep a family busy. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was stocked with everything, including spices. Kids loved the bunk room. Eleven of us had ample space. Super safe and secure. Easy check in check out. Wildlife was incredible by the firepit. We had a mama bear and 3 cubs visit the first evening! Deer and hummingbirds were abundant!A perfect home base to explore all the sites and attractions in the Lake Lure area.Recommend:Corn hole tournaments, s’mores by the firepit, movies in the theater, pool and poker games, coffee in the rocking chairs, cocktails on the balconies, climbing Chimney Rock, white water rafting in the French Broad, Hickory Nut FallsWe appreciate you SO much for having this gem polished for our arrival. Put us all in “vacation mode” immediately! Warmest regards!

The weather wasn't the greatest while we were there, but the house made up for it. Our age range was 4-58 and everyone LOVED the house - especially the game room and movie theater! It was so much better than we even expected - and we have very high expectations! Well done!!

Great Mountain Views in a Beautiful Home

We absolutely loved our stay at this pristine property! The house was beautiful, clean, and well appointed. There was nothing that we needed that wasn’t in this house. The kitchen was FULLY equipped with high-end appliances and everything you could possibly need to cook. We particularly loved having the Big Green Egg because we have one at home too so we felt at home with it. The views were amazing and the fire pit outside made for a great afternoon. One major highlight was the full movie theater equipped with a sound system that is only matched in a real theater. I cannot say enough about this property! It is a definite must-rent if you are in Lake Lure. It felt like we were the first to rent this house because everything seemed like it was brand new. We come from a tourist area in NW Florida, so we understand how important a rental group is and these property managers were amazing. They were responsive and happy to help with anything we needed from the moment we got there until the time we left! We highly recommend this rental!!!

The property never disappointed- from the views from every window, the great kitchen, movie night, rocking in a deck chair to enjoying an evening campfire around the fire ring. The house surpassed the photos and descriptions posted. A perfect spot to return to! The management was well organized and made the whole process very easy on us. Bekki Reid

Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pictures do not do this house justice because with the natural light it was even more beautiful than you can see in the pictures. The view of the lake and mountains was amazing. Our 20's aged children used the hot tub , theatre room and pool table every night. It has a lot of great spaces to be together and plenty of space to be alone. We were a party of 6 adults but there was plenty of room for two families to stay together. The kitchen had more than enough supplies for us to make dinner every night and we really enjoyed using the "egg" grill. We had great communication from the owner about all the details of our stay. We enjoyed going tubing, white water rafting and chimney rock. We would definitely stay there again for another week next summer.

Beautiful home

The home was beautiful. We especially enjoyed the fact that these owners shared every possible thing with their guests when it came to the kitchen, pantry and laundry. After 30 yrs of renting properties in NC, I have never experienced a kitchen that had everything you could possibly want or use in it and such high quality. The downstairs was also a dream for my teenage grandsons (and their parents). They went home planning a movie room for their house. Because this house sits on the mountain side, they took advantage of Corn Hole in the small flat area in back. Because Rumbling Bald, the private area, ran along the lake, it did take 20-30 minutes to access the lake, beach and marina. I believe this was mentioned in the description. What I had not realized because this was our first trip to the area, was that we were across the road up high and we had no ability to walk near the lake at all. The one view we had was beautiful, but certainly not easily accessible without the drive. Sue, the realtor, was phenomenal. I really never had a complaint, but if there were any questions or comments, they were answered in a matter of minutes via text. Our hike up Chimney Rock on Saturday and my daughter-in-law and my trip to Hendersonville were my highlights. The men “rode” horses through the river on a very hot and humid day. We had a fantastic lunch at River Watch. All other meals were cooked at home and eaten at the table for 8. We also utilized the Green Egg.

Annual NC Get A Way

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Each year 3 couples get together for a week someplace in the North Carolina mountains. This year we decided to be a bit lower but have a lake view. Buffalo Shoals fit the bill. Great house with a nice view from the decks out back of beautiful Lake Lure. Plenty of room in this house for our group. Spacious bedrooms,a fantastic game room, a home theater and a great kitchen for our amazing cooks! We did enjoy a couple restaurants for lunch located on Lake Lure.
