Lake Lure Safety Harbor gang trip.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is beautiful. The boat was a perfect addition to this trip. We are boat people so we used it bunches. We was able to get a taxi's to Asheville to do a brewery trip along with eating at Lobster Trap oh it’s a must place to hit. chimney Rock is a lovely little hidden germ. Lots of cool little places. The brewery this is a great stop.t The only downside was the very short notice that the natural hot tub pool was broken. That was the only thing I can say. They made it right by doing a small refund. We definitely missed it after our hike we took. We will continue to come back to this area.

Our family Christmas trip
We had a great time at Mallard cove. The home is not great for a family of 10, unless you sleep on sofa sleepers.

Great Week at a Great House

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were part of four couples that rented a house in Mallard Cove on Lake Lure for a week. House was amazing with great features and lots of room. Also had a huge area for parking. The location can't be beat. We made use of the kayaks, paddle boards, and pontoon boat. Enjoyed every day. Buffalo Junctions was very easy to work with and help make sure our vacation went off without a hitch.
