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!
The owners of the property could not be more kind and accommodating. They were always available and helped me make our vacation very special. Love the house in the game room! And it was very nice to have a gated community where we had our own private lake area and tubing River. highly recommend!
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.
Our mountain weekend was perfect! The cabin was clean, spacious, and wonderful for our larger group, with plenty of amenities to enjoy. Our host was incredibly communicative and kind, making everything smooth from start to finish. We will definitely be back again!
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. :(
Nice large home. Comfortable beds. Beautiful views
Had a wonderful Christmas!

Very Relaxing Location with Fun Nearby
Our family had a great time at the cabin. It's close to Chimney Rock, so there are great hikes nearby. And just around the south side of the lake is the beach area and a great little coffee shop. The cabin is quiet, and homey, and it was as advertised. The owners are very responsive and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

House in the mountains
House was plenty big for 4 couple, owner very helpful, only thing we didn't know was the unpaved road going up to the house, cars really dirty from that. House clean, back deck very spacious

Very accomodating and relaxing
We had a great time at Laurelwood for a long weekend. The house suited our needs nicely and the owner went out of his way to make the entire rental process an easy one. This is not always true of VRBO owners. This house is in a quiet and relaxing neighborhood which is what we were looking for.

Fun birthday weekend
This was a stunning log home. This was our first time going to lake lure and had a blast. Kim always messaged me to make sure everything was going as planned. This house is very close to resturaunts and the National Park. The game room and hot tub was very fun when you wanted to relax or have fun. I hope to go again sometime!
This is in a beautiful area. We were close to Zip Lining, Lake Lure and a beautiful park. Chimney Rock is very close, and there are also many Waterfalls that were a short distance away (45 mins.-1 hour). There is a little lake just down the hill and the river, which we spent most of our time tubing down. We made some great family memories here. The owner is wonderful and explained a lot about the area. We will definitely visit there again if we are ever in the area.
