Love this beautiful home! The house is clean and spacious. Beautiful views! Kitchen is well-stocked with excellent appliances. Camargo SML was wonderful to communicate with. Had one minor issue, and Camargo had it fixed within an hour after it was reported. Highly recommend!

Thank you for the great review. You are welcome back anytime!
What a great week we had with family. The home was extremely clean, very well stocked, and had plenty of room for all of us. The location on a quiet cove was wonderful.

Thanks for the great review Mary! So glad you enjoyed your stay. Come stay again anytime!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The pictures are so accurate - the views were unbeatable and it was a lovely and quiet area so we could relax well. The property had everything we needed and more. A lot of details were well thought out and just made it a very pleasant stay. We're already planning to be back again for a longer vacation!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you again for future trips to the lake.

Nice house. Great water and view. Long staircase to/from boathouse should be a consideration for anyone in group with toddlers/mobility issues. First visit to SML, so my reference points are limited.

Thanks for staying with us Steve! You're welcome back any time.
Lots to do. Unfortunately it was very cold over spring break this year but the hot tub and pool were great to supplement. We also took a green light for the dock and watched the fish at night.
Very clean and very well appointed kitchen. No need to bring anything! Will definitely stay again.
Would like to speak with the owners if they could contact me privately via email that would be great!

We are glad you enjoyed the home, and sorry the weather wasn't warmer over spring break. We would love to have you back at the lake.
This SML home was perfect for our family to gather for the holiday! The location is lovely and the view (sunrise to sunset) was “priceless!!! The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking our feast and having the extra appliances down stairs was a plus in preparing our multiple favorite dishes! The beds were very cozy and the linens were excellent for bed and bath! It was a great, spacious home and we would enjoy visiting when we could take advantage of the lovely surroundings outside! We will look forward to returning to Lake Allure sooner rather than later! JB

Not worth the price
This house is showing its age and is in a remote location. We had to drive 20 minutes to get to any restaurant. The pool is in a warm, humid room that also contains the exercise equipment. The hot tub is in a separate warm, humid room from the living area. We did not use either.

Thank you for your feedback. We still hope you enjoyed your time at the lake.
I highly recommend this property. The views are spectacular and the location is private and serene. The landscaping around all sides of the house is really nice and is great for bird-watching. The house was well-stocked with cooking supplies, spices, etc. There were several "hotel" touches and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. There were a ton of books everywhere, that were thoughtfully grouped by subject, as well as CD's and DVD's.
A couple of items to note: There are a lot of stairs...both in the house and going down to the dock so this property may not be suitable for those that have problems navigating stairs. We could not find remote controls for the TV's in the bedrooms and could not figure out how to use the TV in the family room downstairs as the technology was a bit dated and not a smart TV nor connected to cable/satellite (at far as we could tell).
The dock has ceiling fans, a microwave, mini-fridge, and lots of seating. The breeze at the dock was incredible and we spent sun-up 'till sundown swimming, lounging and reading at the dock.
There are not many restaurants or grocery stores near by, and most close early, so be sure to bring what you need food-wise and check the resturant websites for closing times.
