Went with our four adult children and their significant others (10 adults). The house is beautifully sited and outfitted. Especially fun were the boathouse roof deck and the fire pit. Wildlife encounters (otter, deer, turkeys and other birds, and huge snapping turtle) were amazing. We had no problem cooking, seating, and serving for 10 adults. Would have been perfect except for the hazardous dock, some broken furniture, unusable (fire hazard) grill, and missing pedal boat.

lake lure cabin - beautiful home with incredible views
The house was truly spectacular with lots of windows overlooking the lake - the living areas and most bedrooms had fantastic views. The decks around the house (two levels) were great and the deck with a sitting area by the water was nice. We saw lots of birds and even some eagles, and the proximity to chimney rock and other hiking was great. We had a great time with a multi-family christmas where we filled up the house. It was nice to have bedrooms on three levels, plenty of bathrooms (4), a large kitchen, and a large washer/dryer. There was an excellent grocery store within about 15 min. drive, and good restaurants within a short drive.
The main reason for 4 not 5 stars is that the driveway and walk down to the house were very very steep. The rocks on the walkway were slippery and not set in, and presented a substantial hazard. We were very grateful not to have ice or snow during our stay since we were unsure that any of our cars (even 4WD) would make it out of the driveway.
There were some other, more minor problems, including setting up the internet, a lack of baking pans, no instructions on what to do with trash and recyclables, a lack of sufficient towel bars in the bathrooms, and no coffee table in the main living area. We brought an additional folding table and chairs so that we could seat 14 on the main level. Finally, the house is hard to find, especially in the dark - although googlemaps found the property, the GPS systems in our cars could not. My suggestions - The owner should provide very clear driving directions to get to the house, fix the walkway so that it can be safely used even in rain and snow, provide an instruction book for internet, trash, recyclables etc, and add additional towel bars so that a large group can hang towels to dry.
We were very happy with this house- fantastic view and tons of room for 6 retired ladies on their annual ladies trip. We met the host Gwen who gave us some great recommendations and also quickly fixed a minor issue. We enjoyed the restaurants in Lake Lure. GreyHawk and Lured had great outdoor spaces and food. All of us agreed (no small feat for six 60 ladies) that we will return to Lake Lure next year and to this house!
Great time. I highly recommend this beautiful home.
Everything was great. We used it as a base for my retirement celebration. Friends for the first 5 days; family for the 2nd 5 days. Would definitely go back to this same home.
We had a wonderful time. The house was all that we had hoped it would be. There was plenty of room for everyone. The furnishings were nice. The home was clean and well stocked.
There is plenty to do in the area as well as just sitting on the deck and enjoying the view.
Gwen is an amazing host and incredibly responsive. Unbelievable views, great boat access, and comfortable kitchen and new grill. Would stay here again anytime!
Gwen's lakefront cabin was perfect for our annual family vacation. Our family has grown to the point of needing 6 bedrooms and this number of rooms is a hard find. The cabin was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and the views of the lake were amazing.
Beautiful property for our family vacation. Our children and grandchildren all had plenty of space to spread out. We spent most of our time on the boathouse rooftop and jumping off of it into the lake! We also used the floatables and kayaks (life jackets available) for exploring and hanging out in the water.
The beds were super comfy, superior to most rentals. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans/plates etc. We only ate dinner out once I believe. We preferred to eat at home with those beautiful lake views off the deck.
Gwen was a pleasure to work with!
Thx for sharing your hard me with us!
Perfect location on the lake! House is beautiful and accommodated our large group easily. Host replied quickly to all messages. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you so much for sharing your home!
Great place for our family to get away and spend time together. Plenty of room for everyone, great location on the lake and plenty to do for all ages. Would stay again.
We were extremely happy with our stay, the views were breathtaking. The host, Gwen, was extremely accommodating when we had to reschedule last minute due to me having a pregnancy complication and quickly responded whenever I had any questions. The house was very clean and spacious. We really appreciated the washer and dryers. We all had a lot of laughs during our stay and made a ton of new memories. The distance to town was not bad at all with a lot of fun activities. The lake itself was beautiful and very quiet when we were there. We also really enjoyed seeing the woodchucks and beavers! We absolutely would stay here again ◡̈
Had a good time at this location on the lake . The fire pit by the lake is the best part .

Do Not Rent until it’s been 2024 / Nov 17th. ( BeD Bugs) - No Joke..
We rented this unit with other family members. The house is beautiful however to many problems. Unfortunately we have rented through VRBO for years and we pick a house that I really wish we didn’t now. Owner is a sweet woman but unfortunately I do not feel she has been honest with us about the Terminex.
1. The house was very dusty.
2. The Dish washer was flashing while washing and having an electrical smell.
3. Toaster and the Hand held mixed was broken.
4. They definitely need a new coffee maker and they should 2 total.
5. The dust on the fans and towel.. gross. You didn’t know until after you took a shower.
“ obviously who ever is cleaning this home really isn’t doing a good job.
6. The couch is covered in food/dirt inside it. Also extremely dirty.
7. Blue chair is broke.
8. First master bedroom ( mattress has been peed on more then once.
9. The king bed frame in the basement ( 2nd master ) is broken.
10. The queen bedroom mattress and base was coved in bed bugs. The bunk bed room also had them. We found out about the bed bugs when taking all the bedding off as it’s a list of cleaning things to do. 4 family members had bites on them.
11. Porch outside - is shaking Do not push or lay on the banister outside.
12. Not enough towels for showers.
13. You will need to bring kitchen towels.
14. *** if you do not like driving on hills, steep driveways. Then this isn’t for U
We paid a “ LOT FOR THIS HOUSE FOR ONE WEEK “ She is taking Bed Bugs Seriously. VRBO know
We had a wonderful time staying on the perfect point of Lake Lure in this home. It was perfectly set up that we could put the baby to bed early in the upstairs loft and still be downstairs in the basement family room have a great time together.
This was a great stay. House is well laid out. Room for 6 cars in driveway. Stairs to boathouse and pontoon were not bad at all. Great fun jumping off boathouse deck and swimming in the water. Very convenient to rent the pontoon as you don’t have to worry about bringing it back to the marina by 5:00 pm every day. Master bedroom and the bedroom beneath it in the basement level were the most spacious. It gets warm in the house at times but using the ceiling fans helps greatly. The boys caught about 10 bass. Had a campfire one night and plenty of room for everyone. A gem of a location on a private point on the lake.

About the host
Hosted by Gwen Meguiar
Michael and I grew up in Kentucky. We attended college at Murray State University and married in June of 1999. We have been very blessed to have had the opportunity to live in many beautiful places around the United States. We have lived in Kentucky, the Chicago area, Las Vegas, South Florida and currently reside in Asheville, North Carolina. We have 3 children that range in age from 12-19.
Why they chose this property
After searching through many homes that were for sale and looking at various locations to build, it became clear as soon as we saw this point in Blue Herron neighborhood. The access to the lake is easy and the view is amazing. After finding right land location, we immediately began to look for a log cabin that had an open floor plan with many windows to capture the amazing lake view. We think we have found the whole package and can't wait to share it with you.
What makes this property unique
You are going to fall in love with the view our Lake House has to offer. The open floor plan and the huge windows truly bring the outside in making this an enjoyable spot for the entire family.
