Cute enough suite area
Cassandra H.

What a catch! I booked the Grafton Lodge without doing much research and we really lucked out. The Grafton is located right off the main road around Lake Lure. They were great at accommodating our late arrival and had the room ready and "fire" on for us on a chilly winter evening. The room was clean and comfortable. The best shower grout was sparkling clean (which is one of my tests for cleanliness). They have a great kitchen where they fix breakfast in the morning. Both owners were really nice. The breakfast?! Devine! The owner is a "retired" chef who treated us to carmelized bananas on waffles with fresh strawberries and homemade whipped cream. Oh, and a slice of home cured Canadian bacon! Even the coffee was perfect. I'd come by just for the food if they had that option. Just make sure your GPS is set before arrival, your phone likely will have bad signal in the area. Don't worry, they have free WiFi which will boost your signal when you're staying there.

The front porch of the house on the hill

We stayed in the Hill House for a weekend getaway for our 25th anniversary. The weather was frigid when we arrived Friday night, but we opened the front door to find that the lights and the heat were left on for us. How nice is that? We loved the house, everything was perfect except for the showers. We were forgiving of the long wait for hot water, as it was below freezing outside. But the pressure was low on both showers, and both stalls were uncomfortably small for a big guy like me. Otherwise, I can't wait to come back when the weather allows for some exploring. Oh, and no WiFi could be an issue for some, we were fine without it. We had no cell service in town, but plenty on top of the mountain.

This place is the perfect getaway for those couples looking to relax and enjoy the scenery of Lake Lure. Located just parallel to the main road, it's quiet and beautifully set in the heart of the mountains. The owners Susan and Martyn were very accommodating and serve a quaint breakfast. We stayed in the Courtyard Room in the main lodge which worked perfectly for us, with a patio balcony right outside of our room. There are also several cabins to choose from, but were unfortunately already booked for the weekend. We didn't give them a whole lot of notice, but they gladly took us in. I will definitely be back. You can't beat the price for $89/night, which includes a continental breakfast and free access to their private boat dock, which is just a short drive away. This was the perfect vacation spot for a weekend getaway. We'll be back soon!

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 stayed here in November with my girlfriend for our anniversary. The cabin was clean and the area…read morewas also clean and nicely decorated. 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.
