AREA WIDE NOTICE: Lake Lure will undergo a drawdown from January 1st, 2024, through the first quarter of 2024(March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet have been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging, and dam projects will be expedited during this time frame. These efforts by the Town of Lake Lure may affect access to the lake and restrict any lake usage. For more information, click here. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. While we understand this is an inconvenience, this does allow you to enjoy the full beauty of Lake Lure in the fall and holiday season. This will not affect the smaller lakes in the area, only Lake Lure itself.

Excellent accommodations, had trouble with wi-fi, but that was the only issue. I would highly recommend it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Winding River House. We did have several issues that can easily be addressed. The shower liner in the upstairs bathroom was very moldy to the extent that we took it down and bought another one. The lighting in the upstairs bedrooms was extremely dim. Larger lamps would help with that. More coffee mugs are really needed for a large group, which we had. And the fire pit area was in terrible shape. Chairs were turned over and trash was all around the area. The size of this house is great and beds were very comfortable. We would stay again, but would hope these concerns would be acted upon.
Would consider a return visit!
This house was so great for a mixed age group. We could walk to the swimming hole, stream and small beach. Just perfect!
Everything was better than the description. The kids loved as well as the adults. The river and waterfalls were a bonus. The house was very clean, beds were so comfortable. The only thing we found unsatisfactory was the lack of a large skillet. The kitchen was well stocked with everything else. We did have an issue with the door code, which was fixed by one quick phone call. Over all great house. Side note if you have physical limitations be aware this house has lots of steps. The drive way is pretty steep and just enough space for 2 cars.
This is the 3rd time we have stayed at this home and as always it is a perfect getaway for us. There will be a 4th time.
The cleanest place we’ve ever seen. Kids had tremendous fun floating down the crystal clear stream on tubes at the cabin. Very safe. Beautiful lake, kayak and waterfall. Only mistake is we didn’t stay long enough!
We enjoyed our stay. We had a few smaller issues but our biggest problem was with check in. We had to wait about 30 minutes outside having to use the bathroom because the door lock did not work. The other bigger issue was with the outside lights. We tried every switch but the lights would not come on. Our last night there one of us fell down the steps because we could not see. It was a really nice getaway and for us the lack of WiFi and TV was huge for us and the kids.
Great house. Well equipped kitchen. Good supply of linens. More info about local community would be helpful along with simple map of immediate area. It would be great if it had wifi so you could get Netflix.
My family spent a week in July in Winding River House. This is a nice property that is missing a few thing that are needed to be worth the price paid. It has a game room listed and there is only a folded up ping pong table available. For the price there should be a pool table, air hockey... something else to qualify as a game room. Also missing is wifi. While it is great to unplug it's hard to go the week with no wifi for entertainment purposes if no other. There is only 1 TV in the house and it is in the so called game room and is basically there for videos only. The biggest problem we had was such low water pressure that you could hardly get wet in the shower. We called and someone was sent out and did work that helped, but we still had to use a pitcher to fill the toilet in the Master so that it would flush. We also never got anything resembling good pressure in the kitchen sink. Very nice property ... just not worth the money without a few adjustments.
