This is a cozy cabin just beyond the dam on Lake Lure. It was a nice setting for a girls getaway weekend. Clearly, the town of Lake Lure is still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Helene and clean-up is ongoing. The outside of the property could use some TLC, namely removing spider webs from windows and doors, cleaning pollen/dirt from patio and outside furniture, and sweeping walkways. While boat house amenities were included in the rental, we didn't use any water equipment because debris has collected around and under the boat house.

Thanks for your review. The lake is recovering, and we are making our best effort to keep up with occasional debris that collects near our property. It will only get better with time.

I think we may have been the first visitors for several months. The place seemed a little unlived in with some of the detritus of winter. After a couple of days it felt better. We had everything we needed except for hanging space in the basement bedroom. We enjoyed the gas firelogs at night.We did not realise there were so many steps inside and outside. My friend could not manage the outside ones.The location is convenient and we enjoyed the view of the lake and the dam. It was quiet, peaceful, and easy to find

Thanks for your review. We normally have our housekeeper freshen up before each guest, but there was a miscommunication this time. I’m sorry it wasn’t up to our standards for you! We will install a clothing rod in the basement for the future. We also mention the 100 stairs to the lake in the description, but I will update it to be clearer about inside and outside stairs.
