Rate Info And Fees:
$450 Cleaning Fee**
** - Yonder openly shares & clearly posts our Cleaning Fees in a manner of full disclosure, as we think this is the most honest and forthright approach with respect to our guests. Our Cleaning Fees are backed by our Clean Guarantee, which reflects the highest level of standards, pristine environments for our guests, and a level of clean that surpasses any other vacation homes; we literally guarantee it!

Early Check In and/or Late Check Out may be possible, depending on cleaning schedules and other reservations. If it is possible, there may be an additional fee that would be determined based on the time that you wish to check in or out and the seasonal rates.

Home Truth: Lake Lure will be undergoing a drawdown starting 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 has 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. 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.

Pets: This home and property are very dog friendly, and guests are welcome to bring their "best friends" with them. There is a non-refundable Pet Fee of $125 with a limit of 2 dogs per booking party.

Please inquire for details regarding payment, the cancellation policy, military discounts, and trip insurance.

Note: Reservations over 30 days are subject for review prior to acceptance. A separate rental agreement will be required for 90+ day stays.

Lots of room
Spacious property. Peaceful location. Loved the outdoor space, quiet large pond, fire pit and hot tub. Overall clean, however personal items from owners (old magazines etc) still there. Found a prescription medication in bathroom closet. Paddle boat is listed as amenity, but it is a small boat with paddles. We expected a pedal type paddle boat. It was too heavy and cumbersome to get in and out of the water. Very convenient location for a trip to Chimney Rock.

Great for groups and kids though a bit outdated
As the house said in other reviews, its great for large groups and kids/teenagers. So many fun games and activities that everyone can enjoy. The house was really well stocked with kitchen supplies, far better than any other VRBO I've stayed in. It is rather outdated, it could really be a great house with some things refreshed. Shumont Lake that the house is on is really more of a pond. It is fun for activities like rowing/kayaking/paddleboarding but from our personal experience, I would not recommend swimming in it. I searched the reviews for advise on this ahead of time and asked the property managers but wasn't given a clear answer so hopefully this helps future renters. Access to Rumbling Bald resort was a nice perk of the house and only about an 8-10 minute drive.

peaceful and quiet
house was pleasant and very well equipped. a little dated and in need of some TLC. Patio doors so hard too hard to slide open and close especially for the young ones. Umbrella on the only patio table we had was broken. Nice outdoor area by the lake. Tiki torches nice touch and needed to keep bugs away. We did see some bears in the early morning. overall nice and peaceful and very private

Men's Retreat
We loved the size of the place and location. We stayed busy with all the activities, pool, pin pong, and fishing. Would definitely book again. It was restoration. Note: Everyone that had Verizon as a provider got a very bad signal. Only one of us had a good signal and he was with ATT. Was WiFi available?
