The property was very warm and welcoming. Many of our children stated it felt like going to a grandparents house. They loved the game room and kitchen open to the family room so we could cook and all talk also. The only negative is the drive to the Biltmore. Several family members were car sick. :(

Perfect for our family getaway

Peaceful and perfect for our family of 5. Lake Lure is still low, but the lake in the subdivision was full, and an easy drive from the house. The (adult) kids had no trouble transporting the kayaks, and everyone had lots of fun on the lake, rock climbing in nearby Rumbling Bald, and hiking. When it rained, everyone played pool, ping pong, and board games. Wifi was excellent for movie night. Sitting out on the porch reading was lovely. Definitely a laid-back, relaxing family vacation spot!

Lake Life

Our family loved the amount of space at the cabin and the game room was a huge hit. Our family enjoyed the private lake, nature trail, the waterfall, and the swimming hole all of which were inside the private gated community. We had a variety of ages of kids who were all easily entertained with swimming, fishing, kayaking, and hiking. We also loved chimney rock and the flowering bridge which were only a short drive.

Beautiful Mountain Lake Retreat

This property is perfect if your looking for a place that will accommodate your whole family from sleeping and eating to even providing entertainment! We loved the gameroom especially when on one of our days it rained all day...it created great memories of my 84 year old mother playing air hockey with my 6 year old grandson! It was great to see all my grown kids unplug from their electronic devices and play pool and ping pong! The location is excellent and convenient, the lake is beautiful and we found a gorgeous waterfall on one of the trails that the kids loved playing in. Additionally, the property owner was not only very responsive to any and all questions that I had, but took time for a pre-stay phone call giving me lots of information about the property, how things worked and made checking in a breeze. It was very apparent that he wanted to ensure that we had a great time. We all had an amazing week and we will definitely keep this place on our return to list...thank you!

Cozy and fun

Nine high school friends now in their 50s gathered for a long weekend here and laughed pretty much nonstop. We loved the open floor plan, as well as the large deck. Voices do carry in the house, reminding me of childhood sleepovers when we would shush whomever was giggling, but is probably worth mentioning for light sleepers. Thanks to Kim for being communicative and patient when I called with questions. Would definitely stay here again.

30 day stay

We rented Lakewood Lodge for the month of October. The layout of the house was very good for the different family members who visited. This is a rustic log home in a remote, very quiet, gated community. The internet service was excellent; and the kitchen was very well stocked. Kim, and the housekeeper, Cindy, were very responsive. We found the gravel, curvy drive from the guard gate to the house difficult for such a long visit., with many in and out trips. The stairs from the street down to the house can be difficult to navigate, especially when wet. The game room with ping pong, pool, and air hockey provided family fun, especially on rainy days. The two TV's are not Smart TV's and the channel offering on Direct TV is limited. The pictures of the house on VRBO are accurate, except that the living room furniture has been changed.

A week of relaxation!

We enjoyed a relaxing week at this spacious log cabin, with enough room for everyone in our group and all we needed in the kitchen to prepare delicious family meals. We went to the lake in the neighborhood daily, used All Trails to choose 2 different hikes in the area, and visited Asheville one day. The neighborhood is quiet, and the home is nestled in a treed area, adding to the calm. Note: the home comes with 2 sit-upon and 1 sit-in kayak and 1 canoe, and many floats. We brought our own kayaks, but there really wasn't a need. The neighborhood lake is big enough for a satisfying paddle, and deep enough to stay cool. The local grocery store is a 15 minute drive away and has everything you'll need for your stay. The owners are super helpful in answering questions and providing information to ensure an enjoyable stay. It was a great week away from day-to-day life!

Lovely place and location but we had problems with cleaning fees

Located inside Lake Lure and next to Chimney Rock. Beautiful! Need little bit of driving to go to skiing but we loved the road trip views. Some friends got car sick from the unusual turns on the road. I usually plan trips with big groups. The only negative are the magnetic to enter the gate, there were only one for us and we were between 3 cars coming in and out different times. We found a place to hide the magnetic in front of the gate, because at night there is no one there. The owner is super nice maybe is more a cleaning company rules.. we couldn’t find the dumpster outside before we left and seems we forgot a few items like shampoo and a water bottle. First time we had an extra cleaning fee for it. I think this area is more difficult to find nicer cleaners ? Friends asked about this beautiful place on my social mídia and and I ended up forgetting the extra fee as a problem. It was worth it!

Cabin is just as described and extremely clean. Communication with the owner, Kim, was excellent. We loved the game room downstairs, the hot tub, and the gas fireplace. Kitchen was well supplied with cookware so we were able to make most of our meals there. Gated community is well maintained. Ingles is an amazing grocery store with everything we needed, Chimney Rock is about 30 minutes away, and Asheville is about an hour away. We visited the Biltmore while we were there. We also hiked up the Hickory Nut trails. This is a fantastic property for a multi-generational family get-together.
