Watching the work being done to restore the lake was fascinating. The roads were accessible between Lake Lure and both Asheville and Hendersonville. We were able to get in some apple picking on one of our trips to the Hendersonville area. The dining options were plentiful, particularly as you got closer to the weekend. The pool table and fire pit were great. Owners were very responsive when needed.

Great Family Vacation

This house was everything we expected, and more! The area was perfect for a family vacation. We explored the Biltmore, chimney rock state park, and are glad we rented a pontoon boat to cruise around the lake.

We would go back again. The host was very prompt with the few questions I asked. The house was in a great location for us. The house does need a deep clean. There have been very few visitors this year due to the storm damage to the lake. There are cobwebs inside and out, along with small dead insects in corners. This needs to be addressed. Overall, we loved our stay!

Wonderful place to stay on Lake Lure!

We had a great time with our family at Idle Speed! The hosts were great and the house was just perfect! Beautiful spot on the lake, very clean, lots of great porch space and hang out space! We also enjoyed being close to some great hiking spots and the Chimney Rock area.

Summer Mini vacation

We had an absolute amazing time here! The house itself was great with the well-stocked kitchen, great bedroom layout, and fun things to do like pool and ping pong. And everyone loved the lake amenities - kayaks, paddle boards, floating water mat, and a great deck to sit and play games and just enjoy the lake. Can't wait to come back and spend more time here!

Annual family winter vacation

We originally had reservations in Gatlinburg but due to snow and ice we had to cancel. At the last minute we looked for somewhere else to gather and came across Lake Lure. The house and village of Chimney Rock exceeded our expectations!! Our family loved the house on the lake, we will definitely be back.

Great Property, the decks and Sun Rooms are wonderful for relaxation time. Our kids enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding. The Chimney Rock area is quite beautiful. The sidewalks do roll up early in town and there are only a few places open after 8pm.

This was an excellent choice for our family to gather for the week. The house was comfortable for all and well supplied. Lake Lure is a beautiful vacation spot and we loved all the porches and views from each bedroom. We especially enjoyed the times we took the boat out.

Beautiful house

"Enjoyed our stay at the Lake Lure cabin in North Carolina. The cabin offered a cozy retreat with well-appointed amenities. The location provided a serene atmosphere, and the cleanliness was commendable. While we had a comfortable stay, a few minor improvements could enhance the overall experience. Nonetheless, we appreciated the charm of the cabin and the beautiful surroundings."
