It's impossible not to be completely blown away the moment you walk into this crazy place. It's even bigger, crazier, and more fun than we expected—and we expected A LOT of crazy. Just sitting inside drinking a coffee is ridiculously fun!And the views are hard to describe because you don't really look for a view here. You're in the view. It's everywhere, all around you, all the time.The waterpark was an absolute blast!We hope you'll let us come back! I consider myself an Airbnb snob when it comes to finding fun and unusual properties, and I can confidently say this is the most unique, fun, and interesting place I've ever stayed. An unforgettable experience!
This house is truly something you have to experience in person. The pictures are amazing, but somehow they still don’t do this place justice. From the moment we arrived, we were completely blown away by the house, the views, and the sheer uniqueness of the property.The 360 mountain views are absolutely incredible, and sitting inside surrounded by those enormous windows feels like you’re literally floating above the mountains. The rooftop viewing area was one of our favorite parts. The sunsets and sunrises were spectacular, and the privacy of having an entire mountain to explore made the experience feel incredibly special.The house itself is fascinating. There are so many interesting architectural details and quirky touches that we kept discovering something new throughout our stay. The hot tub, incredible bathrooms, huge living spaces, and beautiful kitchen made it comfortable while still retaining all of the character that makes this place so unique.We also really appreciated how peaceful and private the property is. It genuinely feels like you’re away from everything, while still being close enough to enjoy Lake Lure and the surrounding area.If you're looking for a cookie-cutter vacation rental, this isn't it, and that's exactly what makes it so amazing. This is an experience, not just a place to stay. We made memories here that we'll be talking about for a very long time.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.
