Another wonderful week at Sheri’s Retreat

This is our second year at Sheri’s lovely home on the lake. It was just as beautiful, relaxing and fun as last year. Well stocked home with lots of equipment to enjoy the private lake. Loved the amenities of the resort. I’m sure we’ll be back again.

We had a wonderful time! The home was just as beautiful as the pictures show and Sheri has thought of everything and anything a guest would even think to want during your stay! This was one of the BEST experiences we've had and we will absolutely come back if Lake Lure is in our future! Sheri, thank you again for making our week so special! We hope to see you again!

Perfect Family Retreat

We had a wonderful getaway with my family at this lake house. We had 6 adults and 5 kids, and there was enough space and activities to keep us all busy for the week. It really is the best of both worlds being on a quieter lake, while still being able to play on Lake Lure. Sherri was a wonderful host, and made sure you had everything you needed.

Multi-generation family vacation

We all liked the house, especially the screened in porch. Everyone had their own space and it was nice having the resort amenities. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. The kitchen was well stocked—even had a waffle iron, which we did use. The only negative might be the number of stairs to the lake for someone with mobility issues.

Serene Lakeside Sanctuary

Our family had a wonderful first experience with a lake vacation! Sheri’s house was perfect for our family. It was stocked with everything we needed and more.We all loved the lake and the “fun” toys provided. My three grandsons found a new love of kayaking and paddle boarding. The amenities at Rumbling Bald were an added bonus for all of us! If you are considering a lake vacation, this is the place you want to go!

Family fun at the lake!

We had a family vacation at this home which was great for our needs. The host Sheri was very easy to work with and took extra effort to make our stay special, including homemade cookies and a watermelon! Our grandkids loved all the lake toys, especially the water island. We enjoyed the amenities of Rumbling Bald; pool was nice although the river ride is pretty small but enjoyable for young kids. We all enjoyed the beach too. We rented a boat to go on Lake Lure. The only disappointment was eating at the Legends- pizza oven was down and the other food was marginal. We all cook meals so we did not really expect to eat out, as there are typically not many restaurants on lakes, which is the case here. The kitchen is nicely stocked, even with spices, and nice to have beach towels. We made some wonderful family memories here. My granddaughter left a special item behind and Sheri us get it back!

Excellent Family Vacation

Sheri's house is a dream home to vacation in. The amenities in the house are top-notch and the outdoor equipment is the icing on the cake. My family loves kayaking and using the floating dock or just floating on the water. Sheri greets you at the door and personally walks you through the house which is such a refreshing change. This was our second vacation here and we'll probably come back again.

Peaceful retreat in lovely contemporary home

We loved our stay at this property. Most of the properties in this area, if waterfront, are on steep lots which this one was. This makes for dramatic views and many levels of living space. Although this property is in the Lake Lure area, it is actually on Rumbling Bald Lake, a quiet, private lake just north of Lake Lure where motorized boats are not permitted. It is the PERFECT location - the amenities of Lake Lure (swimming pool, pontoon boat rental, tennis, restaurant, golf) are a just a short, easy drive. This house has a covered dock from which kayaks (provided) can be launched, or enjoy the huge water mat that can be floated out to the middle of the lake to catch the later afternoon sun. The kitchen is well-stocked - a starter supply of dishwasher soap, kitchen trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, soap and shampoo are provided - so remember to bring extra depending on the length of you stay. The owners were very gracious and responsive, and met us when we checked in so they could explain how to use various amenities, including gas-fueled fire pit, fireplace and grill. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Sheri and Orrin for your hospitality!

Family Fun

Lake Lure was beautiful and so was the house! We couldn’t have asked for anything else. The Hilton’s were there when we arrived and walked us through their home. They were so kind and helpful. You don’t see that very often when renting a home for the week and that was one of the reasons why I chose this beautiful property! We had everything we needed and more. The space was just perfect for 12 people. The kids and adults loved kayaking everyday. The amenities in the resort was an added bonus. We will be back!

Family Summer Vacation at the Lake!

Sheri, our stay at your property turned out to be a most relaxing and excellent experience for us! The family had fun using the kayaks on the lake and I had fun just relaxing on the dock and reading a book! Because your property was on a resort, we took full advantage of the amenities in terms of the Spa and the Lake Lure tours. Also, we were in a great location to visit places in the area like, Asheville, Hendersonville and a local winery! Sheri, we also appreciated you and your husband greeting us at your home to explain the functionality of everything. It may our stay much more comfortable! Basically, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lovely home and hope that you are willing to have us back in the future! Take care, Greg Preston

Reserve with Confidence for a Great Relaxing Holiday

My family of 4 had a fabulous time at The Retreat. Sheri greeted us at check-in and was very detailed with all instructions, she also provided a couple of bonus sweets which was appreciated. The house was well equipped for all of our needs and more. We love to cook as a family and were easily able to do so, while enjoying background music on the Sonos. You knew that It was important to Sheri for you to feel at home, be comfortable and have a great stay, which we did. We didnt take advantage of any of the facilities of the club but did take full advantage of the lake’s natural beauty and water toys that the belong to the house. We even got to observe a family of otters at a close distance on the Kyacks. You can have confidence in the booking information and we recommend staying here.

Great property, right on the lake, awesome views and conveniently located in a resort area

Our family had a great time staying at this property. Sheri, the owner, met us on the day we arrived (even though we were running late) and showed us everything we needed to know. Property was clean, well maintained and well stocked. Located in the resort area, it has convenient access to quick dining and a short drive to several restaurants and a grocery store. We spent most of the time swimming, enjoying kayaking and fishing. We also ventured for a few excursions around the area. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Sheri Hilton

Host profile image
I have deep roots in the Lake Lure area because of Camp Lurecrest that was founded by my uncle in 1949 through our family church in Charlotte, NC. My husband and I had the opportunity to purchase this home and knowing it is so close to Charlotte, we couldn't let it slip by.

Why they chose this property

Our friends have a beautiful home here in the resort and saw the house several years back, called me up and said "Sheri , this is your house!"The house has the most beautiful eggplant wall and then of course when I walked out on the deck and the saw the lake and became captivated, and that was it!

What makes this property unique

Just having the privilege of being directly on a private lake. The screened porch is breathtaking in the rain. I love being down on the dock ,either in the swing chair or on the hammock daydreaming as I gaze out at the lake. I forget everything and slip away into the moment.
