Ledfords Landing Lakefront-Spectacular sunset & mountain views! Pontoon optional

****NOTE for 2025: The town of Lake Lure will have the level of the lake down from Jan 1, 2025 until March 31, 2025.****

Ledfords Landing is a picturesque lakefront retreat in a private setting. Our home offers a great combination of qualities that many others on Lake Lure do not. We are fortunate to have a lot that is 19 steps from deck to dock. Lake Lure is mountainous and many homes have a great deal of steps from house to lake. At our home, even if you have family members who cannot navigate those 19 steps, they can sit on the deck and be a part of what is going on in the water. We have a westerly view so from the rooftop deck, you have an amazing view across the lake to where the sun sets behind the mountains. We also have a southern exposure which means we have direct sunlight every season, so even in midwinter, you can enjoy warm sunshine as you sit on the deck or dock. With upper and lower decks, including the rooftop deck and a lower waterside dock, there are lots of conversation areas. Our home is located in a "no wake" cove, so whether you are fishing or floating in the cove , you don't have to worry about boats speeding by. We are happy to share of places to walk directly from our home. We have a plenty of parking which is a rarity. Come see for yourself, our home is an amazing spot to get away and enjoy precious time away with family and/or friends. We know this time is special and we are committed to your coming and finding our home and property "everything and more" that you see on this website.

This 2600 sq foot lakefront home is spread over two floors. Upper and lower decks boast of views across the lake to Chimney Rock. The main level has a large great room with ample seating that surrounds a lovely brick fireplace. The kitchen/dining area is spacious and opens into the great room. The upper level has 4 bedrooms - 3 of which have a sliding glass door that opens onto a common covered balcony facing the lakefront. The master bedroom on the lakefront has a king bed and its own full bath. There are other three bedrooms upstairs - 2 queens and 1 with a double and a twin. The left back corner queen bed boasts its own 1/2 bath, all bedrooms share a full bath in the hallway. All of the bedrooms are roomy and comfortable. For additional sleeping space there is a 5th bedroom with a queen bed that is located just off the kitchen. This is great for folks who cannot or do not want to navigate stairs. There is also a full bath with shower downstairs, which is also accessible from the outside, great for a quick rinse off after swimming. The large covered porch/deck located off the great room provides a great spot to read a book or enjoy the lovely views of the lake and mountains.
If it’s a water experience you are interested in, there are only 19 steps from the house deck to the lakefront over-sized dock with shaded area and ceiling fan. Whether canoeing, kayaking, swimming or just floating aimlessly in the cool emerald water, you’ll be at ease as we are situated in a quiet “no wake” cove. (We provide 2 sea otter kayaks and canoe for your use.) No matter how you spend your day, you’ll want to be on the 'rooftop deck' over the boathouse in the evening. The water changes from cool green to brilliant gold as the sun sinks over the mountain. At Ledfords Landing, you have a beautiful view directly across the lake to the mountains.

PONTOON BOAT RENTAL:
We have a 20' Bennington pontoon boat that we make available to guests at both Papa Bobs Cabin and Ledfords Landing properties as they are adjacent properties. It is a first come, first served arrangement. It has a 60 hp 4 stroke engine. Please note that NC law requires person renting to be at least 25 years of age.

PLEASE CONTACT OWNER FOR DETAILS

***********PLEASE NOTE:
In 2006, Lake Lure has passed a regulation that makes it unlawful for boats with commercial licenses (i.e.our boat) to tow skiers or tubes, etc behind the boat.**************

There are several (13) acres adjacent to the house that are perfect for playing baseball or Frisbee, picnicking, or star gazing at night. It was on this property that several scenes from the movie Firestarter were filmed.

Please note that our home is family friendly. We welcome you to use some items we've kept for your convenience - portable crib/high chair/booster seat. The porch has locking gates to help keep little ones safe and let you relax and enjoy your stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Cox

Host profile image
I grew up in Asheville. My father and mother both from small NC mountain towns. My father (jenny talking) purchased 14 acres at the head of Sunset Cove on Lake Lure in 1963. I grew up coming to Lake Lure and Papa Bob's Cabin (VRBO#34359). In 1988, my family purchased this house. It sits adjacent to the original property. We have countless precious family memories here. We rent our home for 2 reasons: we can't use it all the time and want to share it with other families to create special memories of their own. The rental income allows us to keep the house and property up to date and well maintained. Each year we try to upgrade the house or property is some way to honor Papa Bob and all he has done to allow his family such a wonderful place to call our own.

Why they chose this property

Our home was purchased in 1988. There are countless precious family memories here. We welcome you to come and enjoy our home and the lake with its beauty and peacefulness and make your own sweet memories.

What makes this property unique

Not many homes on Lake Lure possess the combination of a level lot, ample space outside to play, and proximity to the water. We are 20 steps from deck to dock. We have a westerly view and the nightly sunsets are amazing from the rooftop deck. We have privacy as well as access to lots of room to play as the house sit next to my family's 14 acres. There is a spot by the water for an old fashion bonfire. There is a field for star gazing and for games. Our home is on a no wake cove so you can float or play without worry of boat traffic zooming by. With both properties: Ledford's Landing and Papa Bob's Cabin, we can sleep 16.
