We had never stayed in North Carolina before but this, but our beautiful cabin definitely convinced us to return some day. The Lake Lure area is indescribably beautiful, and this cabin was the perfect place to stay. The cabin was beautifully cleaned and comfortable. The beds were comfy. I did not see one insect in the cabin, even though we were in a woodsy area. The kitchen was beautiful and had a nice dishwasher. I was excited to have wonderful cable television where we watched news and movies. As described, in the ad, we made our coffee in the morning and drank it on the beautiful deck. There is an easily accessible area to take the garbage as well. There are nice restaurants in the area as well. We hired a guide, Van in Black who took us to waterfalls in the area. We were able to hike up to them, and also there were many accessible from the road. Although the resort did not have wine tours, Van in Black took us on tours of wineries in the area. We also took a boat tour of Lake Lure. The directions left for us were perfect. If you want to stay in the Lake Lure vacation area I would consider this cabin. It is large, immaculate, comfortable and also very quiet. We felt that this was one of nicer rentals on our vacations that we had ever had. I highly recommend!
