TUCKED AWAY GEM

Lake Lure continues to recover from Hurricane Helene! We’re pleased to share that Tucked Away Gem is once again welcoming guests. Thanks to dedicated contractor and volunteer efforts, access roads and essential services like power, water, and WiFi, are restored. Although the Chimney Rock area, Lake Lure beaches and waterfront are currently closed, there is so much that our beautiful foothills area has to offer. Come enjoy Tucked Away Gem as a peaceful retreat and “home base” for visiting nearby towns and attractions. Area restaurants, including Lake Lure and Asheville are reopening. There's golf at Rumbling Bald, and area wineries, breweries, music, trails, waterfalls, and so much natural beauty within an hour's drive of Lake Lure. Tryon Equestrian Center is hosting some of the Chimney Rock businesses that suffered from the storm. Saluda, Hendersonville, Forest City, Asheville, and larger cities like Greenville, SC and Charlotte, NC are great day-trip destinations. By choosing to visit, you’re supporting the local businesses of Lake Lure, Chimney Rock and Western NC. We look forward to welcoming you!

  The house was great, stocked with everything we needed. We rented a boat and Buffalo Junction allowed us to dock it at the house. They were great to work with. The house was clean and just as described. We will rent again.

  a guest from Lakeland, FL recommends this vacation rental

  Clean! Spacious! Beautiful! Convenient to Chimney Rock State Park and other trails, restaurants like Burnt Shirt and more. Has every comfort you need. The description is very accurate. We loved our Tuked Away Gem experience. We visited in the off season, early spring break. The lake was low but it was still a beautiful view. So nice and calm, quiet and relaxing. Loved having the convenience of 4 bathrooms. Yes, it has a lot of stairs but we loved it because the view of the big trees and flowers blooming were all around. The sun deck is nice and clean and has a lot of room with screened in areas as well. We will definitely be back. Kathleen the property manager is great. She checked in with us to make sure we had all the info. A nice personal touch.

  Allen Y from CHARLESTON, SC recommends this vacation rental

  We were very satisfied with the house. Very clean and all the amenities we needed. The fireplaces were very nice and especially the one in the bedroom. The steps to get to the house were a workout. We liked going down them better than up.

    Thanks for staying with us at Tucked Away Gem. We are still working on getting the trolly in running order. Thanks again for choosing Buffalo Junction Properties.
