We do ask to cover couches with linens provided for furniture for your dogs please. Please message us if you are wanting to bring your furry friend we do have limitations to how many and sizes. Pet fee is $300.

PONTOON BOAT
With our listing we do provide pontoon boat at NO EXTRA CHARGE. The boat is only permitted for cruising/ fishing/ swimming, the Town of Lake Lure does not permit any water sports behind rental boats. If you are looking to be adventurous and try water sports please message us and we can get that lined up for you.

One step into the front door and you immediately feel like you are walking on water. The home has an open floor plan; on the main floor, which is easily accessible by the parking area is the living room, kitchen, laundry, two bedrooms, and 2.5 baths, as well as a main living room.

The main level living room has a large queen sleeper couch for extra guests. The living room has a nice area to play board games or sit back and enjoy your favorite book, or grab the binoculars for bird watching.

The master bedroom is equipped with a king size bed as well as a gorgeous private master bath. After a long day of playing in the sun, come in and stand under the rain shower in the master bath. The additional bedroom on the main living floor has the original hardwood floors from the 40’s and boast a comfy king size bed. The private bathroom will not disappoint, it has a large soaker tub plus a rain shower.

The kitchen has all stainless steel appliances and is fully equipped for those home cooked family meals. It offers a large bar for seating along with a farmhouse style sink that reminds you that you're in the south! From the kitchen there is a formal dining room area that has the original 1940's fireplace with newly outfitted propane logs for those chilly nights. The dining room has enough seating for 8 comfortably, with additional chairs offered if needed.

On the lower level, there is a second living room with a large TV for gaming or sports, along with a nicely equipped kitchenette with an additional fridge and sink. The lower level has two additional bedrooms each with queen beds and both bedrooms have private baths as well. One of the lower bathrooms has a vintage claw foot tub dating back to 1911, what a nice way to end the day! From the lower level you can access the private six-person hot tub to relax and enjoy those starry nights. You can also access a large covered porch with its own private bar.

While mountain lakes are known for lots of steps, this property is easily accessible with just 8 steps from parking to the front door or a side yard ramp as well. From the house there are multiple ways to access the lake from the lower level as well as the upper level. We hope you are ready for some water activities on your vacation. The house comes with a 22 ft. pontoon boat, 2 standup paddleboards, and a slew of floating chairs and aqua toys. While at the waters edge this house has what Lake Lure is known for the classic jump off boat house and this one will not disappoint with its 12 foot decent into the water. After enjoying the lakes amenities there is a nice hot/cold outdoor shower to rinse off and recap the days adventures!

We do require that guests present a pontoon boat security deposit upon arrival for the protection of the homeowners as well as boaters test for Town of Lake Lure. This will be in a check form and shredded after pontoon boat check in if there is no problems. At this time, we will be requiring all future guests upon arrival to provide a security deposit in a check form for $500.00 (to Lake Dog Properties) this check will not be cashed unless there is mechanical damage to the pontoon boat, which we will properly inspect after each guest departure. If at that time there is no issue we will properly dispose of the check.

We want our guests to be aware that with Lures Edge Retreat, we are not responsible for any refund due to the fact that the boat is not functioning or unusable during your visit, as we provide the boat as a courtesy. If the boat is broken it is our duty to have the boat up and cruising again within a timely manner but sometimes these factors are outside of our control.

While our property is a pet friendly property we do have restrictions. We permit up to two dogs per reservation. Also we do have size and breed restrictions. Please reach out directly if you are planning on bringing your four legged friend with you for approval. Please be aware the pontoon is not permitted to pull any water sports behind the boat. There are companies on the for waterskiing.



*Please note that the lake is currently closed until May 2026 however all activities such as hiking, restaurants, Chimney Rock Park and Town of Chimney Rock are all OPEN! Come see the Gem of the Carolinas and make memories to last a life time. BOOKING NOW FOR THE WELCOMING BACK OF LAKE LURE SUMMER 2026

We loved this property! The location was perfect! The house was well stocked in the kitchen for home cooked meals. I was surprised to see both a gas grill and charcoal grill. The hot tub was a hit but my favorite feature was the included boat for exploring the lake and watching the sunset! We hope to return in the future.

This was our 2nd year renting this beautiful home on the lake! It has a room large enough for everyone to gather together, and four lovely bedrooms to retreat to for some quiet time. We enjoyed using the pontoon boat and paddle boards, as well as the hot tub. Very pet friendly! We hope to be back again next year! Thanks, Byron and Barbara!

View is breathtaking

This was our first time visiting Lake Lure. Our family consist of 11 and typically we book a 5-bedroom vacation home; even though this was a 4-bedroom home it worked well for us, and we had plenty of space. Byron was the best host we have had in all our vacations together. He truly has a genuine heart and passion for hospitality. The boat and hot tub were a hit with the grandkids! Thanks, Byron, for sharing your home and making our vacation so special.
