#NeedToBreathe by Carolina Properties | Lake Access, Nice Mother’s Day Getaway!

The house was clean and spacious. The views were amazing!! Best sunset views! Our family had a great time! Unfortunately, the tvs were hard to connect to wifi, and the lighting outside wasn't good, on the front side it was completely dark once the motion light went off.. Overall we had a great time and will return and and send referrals!

Worked well for family. Good location.

It was perfect! Had a great time!

Renting this property was very easy. The Directions led me straight to the home. We had to call property management because the heat went out, but they got someone out as soon as possible. The cleanliness of the home however could’ve been a little better. It was supposed to be a zero tolerance pet policy, However, we clearly saw that there was pet hair all over the living room couch. I’m not a big fan of animals so it was quite upsetting to see. Overall, it was an okay rental.

Easy!

First off, the photos do not do this property justice. The home is more beautiful than the photos indicate. Something we really enjoyed about the home was the layout. You enter into a big, open kitchen-living room, and there are two bedrooms with a Jack & Jill bedroom separating each on both sides. We found this to be absolutely great for traveling with family. Being that the leaves had fallen from the trees, we had a peak of a lake view which was another pleasant surprise! We’ve lost count of how many times we’ve visited the area but have never stayed on this side of the lake. There are numerous restaurants within 10-15 to choose from; the new smokehouse in Chimney Rock was our favorite. Highland Kitchen and Bar is a little bit further but another repeat favorite of ours. Highly recommend both if you’re looking to dine out. Ingles (grocery store) is about 15 minutes away which was helpful when we needed a pharmacy. Now, some things we didn’t enjoy. We pulled up to the community realizing we needed a gate code to enter but hadn’t been provided one; I looked back through all my emails and couldn’t locate it anywhere, only the front door code. We got lucky and a friendly resident helped us and even showed us where the house was. The community was wonderful, everyone we encountered was extremely friendly, though a bit off the beaten track. On Thanksgiving morning, we woke up to the oven not working when we tried to make breakfast. Later that day, we found a chunk of broken glass on the rug by the couch which could have done some damage to someone’s feet. Everything appeared to be clean but it made you wonder.

Really enjoyed the house and it was a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the day-to-day. I would definitely recommend checking out this place if you're looking for a nice, relaxing, quiet getaway in the mountains.

Second year at this property. Senior group of 2 couples and 2 singles, come every Labor Day for the N.C. Apple Festival. last year no problems, this year 2 minor problems. Pantry door was broken and laying inside the pantry, and a couple of the front porch columns (front porch is actually on 2nd floor) were rotted and need to be replaced. Property management was notified of same.

Plenty of room and space for our group, very close to the lake and the local attractions.

Only problem was we had in correct gate code, luckily a resident came buy and gave it to us. Otherwise we had a good stay and enjoyed Lake Lure and Chimney Rock NC.

Easy check in process. Everything was clean and the area was beautiful.
