FAMILY LAKE HOUSE

Lake Lure continues to recover from Hurricane Helene! We’re pleased to share that the Family Lake House (and Rumbling Bald) are 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 the Family Lake House 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!

  Well appointed in every area. Accommodations were appropriate for 10 adults; and the setting was quiet and relaxing. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking which is essential for our brother, a gourmet chef. PS: A few more cushions for the living room couch would be great.

  Elizabeth W recommends this vacation rental

  We gathered here at Lake Lure to celebrate our 55 Wedding Anniversary. This house was beautiful and perfect for our family of 13. The location was great! Hiking, swimming, golf and pickleball.. Bald Lake is peaceful and fun for everyone. The Lilly Pad was a big hit especially with the grandkids.
  The property was well maintained.
  Unfortunately we waited 1 & 1/2 hours to enter the property since the previous renters didn’t leave on time.
  
  I would suggest that more chairs be placed at the lake deck. There was only 1 to sit in. 51 steps from the lower level of the house.
  
  We did have some glitches I think due to transition to new owners. We also had a water issue due to a line break a few doors away. No fault of the owners or management but We had to make a trip to the store to get a water supply. After this the manager did step in to get water for us. We were on boiled water for 3 days.
  
  Even though this was a great inconvenience I do not hesitate to recommend this home. We couldn’t have asked for a better accommodations for our family..

    So great to hear you enjoyed your visit to the family Lake House. Things do happen and it is good to note you understand this. We certainly responded quickly when the garbage disposal overheated due to 2 dozen egg shells stuffed down the drain.

  Ryan A recommends this vacation rental

  My family and friends decided to meet up and enjoy a long weekend at this lovely lakeside property.
  
  The property description was accurate regarding the location, layout, and amenities.
  
  It was very clean and well-maintained.
  
  The property manager provided excellent customer service.
  
  While in the area we rented a golf cart at the center at the bottom of the hill for easy getting around the gated community. We enjoyed trips to see Chimney Rock nearby, and took a day-trip into Asheville to explore some local breweries and restaurants.
  
  All-in-all, it was a great stay and I'd highly recommend this spot.
