First time to stay here. It is a drive over a mountain, you may want to arrive before dark. We…read morearrived after hours and our key was in a box for us. The resort is quiet, I could not tell if many people were staying here. There is a store and gas here. I would recommend going to the grocery before you arrive. The room was nice and had plenty of room in the 2 br lock off. Staff was very nice.

So this was surprisingly a very nice condo. We had the A and B units and it was 4 of us staying…read morethere. They put us in the updated condos. There's plenty of sleeping room with 2 king sized beds, one in each unit and 2 couches, one in each unit. The king beds are so comfy and we slept good. The down stairs B unit was like a cute little apartment. There's a jacuzzi that I regret not using but you need to close both blinds on either side when taking a bath. The shower is big with a door. There's a washer and dryer in both units. There's a big enough kitchen and sitting space in both units. The only problem we incurred on day 1 and 2 was a broken air conditioner. However, maintenance was out asap and fixed it both times with a quickness. The maintenance staff seemed very nice and helpful. The second day we were there we went and enjoyed the wellness center pool and saunas which is very clean and there's putt-putt and other games outside. We were told that one of the beaches/lake sides was open but we never found it. If you are looking for other things to do on your stay, chimney rock is nearby. Asheville is almost an hour away and black mountain is about the same. You'll have a good time and have plenty of choices for food and fun if you go to either.

Updating as we had another great rental experience with Four Seasons. Amy was a fantastic host -…read morestayed in a different cabin and it was perfect. Clean, comfortable, and very accommodating with a late check-out request. We will definitely make this a regular place to visit for a quick weekend getaway. This was a great last minute find for a quick trip to the area. Amy was fantastic to work with and communicated with me upon arrival and check-in. Check in was a breeze and the cabin was perfect. Very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The screened-in porch was well kept and furnished enough for us to eat meals outside. Convenient to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. Again - very clean, well kept and a perfect spot. We will definitely rent again.

I wish I could give zero stars!…read more The homeowner charged my credit card $250 claiming that I smoked in the cottage. This was completely false. When I tried to reason with her she said that I already signed the paperwork and I would have to take her to court. I will never stay here again which is a shame because I did enjoy my stay at the time. Don't get ripped off!

Just got home from a week at Dancing Waters…read more The first thing I want to say is the images on the website don't to justice to the property. This place is absolutely beautiful!!! 3 bedrooms on the main floor (one king, one queen and two twins), two full baths and a living room / common area with balcony. There is a master suite above this living room / common area with a queen bed, full bath and balcony. The lower level is the kitchen with laundry area, table for 6 and common area. Outside are several decks to choose from including a nice one on top of the boat house. There's also two kayaks, one sit on and one sit in. This property is right across from the dam and this cove is a great place for some kayaking. We (5 friends) had a great week here and Debbie was wonderful to work with and we're already planning a return visit.

I'm not even sure where to begin. We stayed at Lure ME 8/26 - 9/3/21 and paid a lot of money…read more(nearly $4000). This was not our first choice of rentals, but since our reserved property was sold, this was the recommendation (and also $1000 more expensive). Do NOT stay here if you can avoid it for the money. The pictures on the website are old and deceiving. We were not expecting luxury, but for that price, we did have some expectations. The house is dated. That could have been overlooked had it been a little cleaner and cared for. The kitchen is a disaster. The dishwasher door just drops to the floor when you open it and might be from the '80s. The fridge does not have an ice-maker (something you would expect for the price), is dented and one of the door shelves is held together BY TAPE!!! Again, not looking for luxury, but you do have some expectations at that price. The view is great. At least what you can see of it. The pictures offered are a bit outdated - the trees are in desperate need of trimming. When you book a house on the lake with a view, you don't expect to spend that much time indoors, and we didn't. Which brings me to the screened-in porch. OMG, disgusting is the first word to come to mind. The furniture is beyond repair and filthy, not to mention and huge liability. When I mentioned it to Melissa (owner of Exclusive Mountain Properties), I was told that furniture was "a family heirloom" and "nostalgic." Ummm, in what century?? Imagine your parents patio furniture. Then your grandparents and that is what you will get. Rusted and broken metal junk. A genuine safety hazard. And the cushions were in deplorable condition. We were told it was water stains from the rain. If that's the outcome of rain in Lake Lure, NC, I'd rather never visit again. In no possible way were those stains from rain. Human body fluids (pee, dirty diapers come to mind)...you get the point. We spent our first full day there talking to and waiting on maintenance (the hot tub also didn't work but that's another paragraph) only to drive 30 or so minutes to WalMart to buy cleaning supplies and chairs to even be able to enjoy the screened porch and boat house (again, another paragraph). Yes, we spent the first full day of vacation shopping for cleaning supplies and chairs and cleaning. And guess what?? We got a two day refund because the items in the boat house were not properly put away. I'm tired of typing...I think I made my point. If you want to stay at Lure ME, buyer beware, there is no way on earth this is their most sought-after and requested property. I gave you a taste of what to expect for your hard earned and well-deserved vacation. Pictures to follow in case you don't believe the descriptions.

I will sum up rumbling bald they think they are the beverly hills of the mountains but in all reality they are the beverly hillbillies. will spend my money elsewhere such as cashiers/saphire where I dont have to look at trash on the roads and where I can get waited on!

It was a last minute stop on a long road trip and we felt lucky that they had a room for us.

Kim and Rich were gracious hosts. Rich made us yummy breakfasts and both were enthusiastic and knowledgeable about their community, restaurants and things to do. We would not hesitate to go back.

Do NOT rent from these people. We rented the Catahoula Cabin in Lake Lure. We told them we didn't…read morefeel safe the day after we arrived and wanted a refund. They did nothing! We rent a house every August and we have never had an experience like this. The home had mold and mildew in the showers and absolutely no maintenance has been done on this house. I have photos to prove everything I'm writing. Bushes are growing out of the gutters, the house sits on a dead-end road, and if the electricity goes out there wasn't a candle or match in the entire house. The fireplace didn't work. Carolina Propereties is the worse company we have dealt with. Beware!

Our only issue was wasps, my girlfriend is allergic and there were 7 that we got rid of before the guy got there to vacuum the other live ones. The staff was very nice and I would definitely recommend this place if staying in the area. We looked at a couple other places and they were down right bland. We stayed here 4 nights since we were celebrating. Parking was easy and safe. The bed was comfortable and the cabin was very clean. The price was very reasonable and we were able to cook breakfast in the morning.

Aside from my husband singing endless Boyz II Men renditions each time we drove up to the cabin,…read morethis was a perfect stay for our long weekend. We stayed in B cabin, the bird themed one. It was so nicely put together and the attention to details were definitely appreciated. The cabin came with everything you may need, while keeping it clean and organized. I loved the little touches like having puzzles and kid books in the loft. The touches of making it 'bird themed' were just enough, and didn't make you feel like you were in a Hitchcock movie. While this was a kid free weekend for us, we definitely could see it being perfect for a family as well. Everything was well maintained. Communication with the staff was fantastic and we were really able to unplug and unwind. If you do get antsy and want to go shopping or exploring, Lake Lure is just a short drive away. We would definitely stay here again.
