Lake Lure, North Carolina
Ledfords Landing is a picturesque lakefront retreat in a private setting. Our home offers a great combination of qualities that many others on Lake Lure do not. We are fortunate to have a lot that is 19 steps from deck to dock. Lake Lure is mountainous and many homes have a great deal of steps from house to lake. At our home, even if you have family members who cannot navigate those 19 steps, they can sit on the deck and be a part of what is going on in the water. We have a westerly view so from the rooftop deck, you have an amazing view across the lake to where the sun sets behind the mountains. We also have a southern exposure which means we have direct sunlight every season, so even in midwinter, you can enjoy warm sunshine as you sit on the deck or dock. With upper and lower decks, including the rooftop deck and a lower waterside dock, there are lots of conversation areas. Our home is located in a "no wake" cove, so whether you are fishing or floating in the cove , you don't have to worry about boats speeding by. We are happy to share of places to walk directly from our home. We have a plenty of parking which is a rarity. Come see for yourself, our home is an amazing spot to get away and enjoy precious time away with family and/or friends. We know this time is special and we are committed to your coming and finding our home and property "everything and more" that you see on this website.
This 2600 sq foot lakefront home is spread over two floors. Upper and lower decks boast of views across the lake to Chimney Rock. The main level has a large great room with ample seating that surrounds a lovely brick fireplace. The kitchen/dining area is spacious and opens into the great room. The upper level has 4 bedrooms - 3 of which have a sliding glass door that opens onto a common covered balcony facing the lakefront. The master bedroom on the lakefront has a king bed and its own full bath. There are other three bedrooms upstairs - 2 queens and 1 with a double and a twin. The left back corner queen bed boasts its own 1/2 bath, all bedrooms share a full bath in the hallway. All of the bedrooms are roomy and comfortable. For additional sleeping space there is a 5th bedroom with a queen bed that is located just off the kitchen. This is great for folks who cannot or do not want to navigate stairs. There is also a full bath with shower downstairs, which is also accessible from the outside, great for a quick rinse off after swimming. The large covered porch/deck located off the great room provides a great spot to read a book or enjoy the lovely views of the lake and mountains.
If it’s a water experience you are interested in, there are only 19 steps from the house deck to the lakefront over-sized dock with shaded area and ceiling fan. Whether canoeing, kayaking, swimming or just floating aimlessly in the cool emerald water, you’ll be at ease as we are situated in a quiet “no wake” cove. (We provide 2 sea otter kayaks and canoe for your use.) No matter how you spend your day, you’ll want to be on the 'rooftop deck' over the boathouse in the evening. The water changes from cool green to brilliant gold as the sun sinks over the mountain. At Ledfords Landing, you have a beautiful view directly across the lake to the mountains.

This home was everything we wanted for our vacation! The home was clean and spacious with great sleeping arrangements, a well equipped and efficient kitchen open to the family room with plenty of room for all of us to dine together...inside and out! The decking offered excellent views of the cove, the mountains (includinding Chimney Rock in the distance) and long views of the lake. The cove was perfect for swimming, fishing and paddle boarding. We did not have to worry about safety as the no wake zone and cove offered a private play area. The hosts were very communicative and easy to work with. I would highy recommend this home for a lake and mountain vacation!
This was our first trip to Lake Lure but it certainly won’t be our last. Jenny was so communicative and everything was honestly better than I expected. The location couldn’t be more perfect and the house has everything a large group - especially with kids - would need. Can’t wait to return!
Beautiful views and water that was easy to reach and enjoy for all ages. The owners are considerate and prompt. We would stay again.
Impressive
THIS TRIP HAS BEEN AN AMAZING ONE. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT! THE LOCATION was perfect . THE HOUSE WAS MORE THAN WE HAD IMAGINE. DEFINITELY COMING BACK!! THE OWNER TREATED ME JUST LIKE FAMILY.
We enjoyed our stay at Ledford's Landing over Spring Break 2023. We are a family of five with three little ones. Our visit lasted four days and three nights. Jenny, the owner, was an absolute pleasure. She was kind and communication was timely. The house was tidy and clean. The property is beautiful. My children loved everything from the variety of games included inside the house to the outdoor activities. Even though the lake levels were down significantly, my children had an absolute blast walking in the water and swimming. We all enjoyed the canoe as well. I highly recommend staying here. It's a perfect getaway to enjoy the water, views of the mountains and also have space for your entire family.
We had the best time at Ledford Landing. The weather was perfect! Jenny was a great host and very attentive. Can’t wait to we can stay there again !
We loved our short getaway! The house is true to pictures and maybe even a more beautiful water scene in person :) There was a small hiccup with water and freezing temps, but the owners were in direct contact with us the whole time and the issue was resolved quickly. It was something that was out of everyone’s control and the owner’s were more than happy to make sure our stay was above expectations. We’ll definitely be looking to book again for the summer!
Property owner/host Excellent and available when needed. My family definitely enjoyed our stay and will definitely rent again. Loved the private cove and landscape along with the water equipment available for use.
This property was big enough for our group. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was clean.
House was stocked well and had the prettiest scenery.
Ledford Landing was excellent and met all of our expectations Golf course was 10 min away
I can't say enough great things about this property and our experience. Every year I rent a property for a lake retreat for my management team and their families. And personally, I rent multiple properties a year for family getaways. And Ledford's Landing was by far one of the best we've experienced. Let me start with the outdoor space. The view is incredible. As are the spots you get to watch it from. There is a deck above the boat house that's clean, spacious and so peaceful. But where we spent most of our time was on the dock. It has a ton of space, both covered and open. There was enough room for a baby to crawl around safely, kids to jump in, adults to relax under shaded cover, you name it. The water is plenty deep off the dock to jump in, but there's also a shallow area with steps where the kids were trying to catch small fish in their nets. When it rained one day, we fished from inside the boat house and had a blast while staying dry. There are so many things provided for you to use also - 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, a paddle boat, a canoe, plenty of floats, life jackets, and we also rented their pontoon boat. Such wonderful outdoor space and offerings. The decks and railings are all Trex/composite decking, so no splinters for anyone! And super clean. You can gate off areas if needed for kids also. And there's a wonderful grill and outdoor furniture as well, so if you're looking for a spot with great outdoor space - this is it. Did I mention the bedrooms upstairs have access to another balcony also?! Inside, everything was wonderful as well. Super clean and well-appointed. We had everything we needed for cooking, linens, towels, etc. Internet TV was great to throw on Netflix, YouTubeTV, Prime Video, etc. for adults and kids. And there's even a foosball table. We had 5 adult couples and four kids aged 1-6. The master bedroom had room to put a queen inflatable mattress and that was all we needed. Lastly, the communication with Jenny was fantastic. We had a bad rainstorm one day and power went out for the entire area. We texted her and she responded right away with updates from Duke Power. She was quick to respond with any questions we had throughout our stay, and the check-in information we received had all kinds of ideas with things to do, etc. We loved our stay so much, we're already looking at dates we can go back! If you're looking at a place to stay on Lake Lure, we can't recommend Ledford's Landing enough!
Very attentive. Got back to me quickly.
Quick visit. What a great view. Having access to the boat made it just perfect for us. Will be back
We combined a special occasion along with a family vacation and could not be more pleased with all the amenities this property and location have to offer. We also rented the adjoining property, Papa Bob's, to accommodate our large group. Clean, spacious, well stocked with everything you might need to make your stay effortless. We took advantage of all the water sports available, including the pontoon boat for a breathtaking sunset cruise. Jenny, the property manager, was easy to contact and she made sure to answer any questions or concerns we had. Everyone agreed this was the best rental from previous years of vacationing and no one wanted to leave. I would wholeheartedly say we would DEFINITELY recommend this property without hesitation. .
