Very comfortable and convenient. Very well appointed kitchen. Tankless water heater so plenty of hot water for the seven of us. Only downside was no water hookup for either kitchen refrigerator - make your first stop at Ingles for ice - and there was an electrical/mechanical problem with the hot tub. 9.95 out of 10.

The hot tub was GREAT and the property was nice, the land scape needs some up keep in the back and the awning didn’t work to keep sun from being so hot. The property was clean will come back again. Need to replace the corn hole game. Really enjoyed coming a day early, it was will worth it.

Family getaway

Location was great we could drive to small towns and to Asheville and still enjoy time at the cabin. Chimney Rock was awesome and the little shops were fun to explore. The best part was just sitting on the deck relaxing around the fire pit and catching up with each family. We rented a boat for 1/2 a day and that was fun. The cabin was spacious and had everything we needed. Wonderful place.

Family Vacation

We had an incredible week at Buffalo Lodge. The kitchen was fully stocked (and we cooked a lot)! The home was just as it was advertised and you can’t beat the views! There was plenty of space for our family of 8. It really was the perfect vacation for our family. Thank you for the best week! We will be booking with you again in the future!

This place was spectacular! There was so much space for everyone to spread out! We had 8 people total one being a ten month old. Buffalo lodge had a great downstairs area that was essentially its own separate living quarters and that was perfect for mom, dad, and baby to have some quiet time while baby napped or if he just wanted to play. The cabin was nice and cozy and on the cold mornings we were able to turn on the fireplace and it created such a magical atmosphere. One tip that we discovered…the loft room lights would kick a GFI and it took us a bit of time to find it…it is the GFI in the bathroom off the hallway! Lol! Overall this place was amazing and I highly recommend it!

Wonderful house

We loved the house. Met all of our needs and was furnished with everything we needed. Only issue we has is we could not get the cable tv to work. Fortunately I brought a Chromecast and firestick so we were able watch movies and stream tv from our smartphone. Other than that it was a wonderful family time.

Nice and secluded

Overall it was nice. Housekeeping did not leave until after 5pm on check in day, but the regular one was sick. Back yard could of been trimmed/mowed. Hot tub was only at 79 degrees upon arrival. Water out of fridges did not work. I called to let company know about this. Besides that is was comfortable and relaxing.

The rating for this place is closer to a 4 because of a few minor areas which was brought to management’s attention. We were there for a girls’ weekend and it was perfect. We would come back. The description indicated a3 minute walk to the lake but we couldn’t see how.

Loved our stay

Enjoyed the Buffalo Lodge. The view was great, location easy to find and good parking. Very nicely decorated and well stocked kitchen filled with all the necessary utensils, appliances, etc. Enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit that was on the deck and all of the games indoors and out that were provided. Great time had by all! Thank you.

Great Place for a "Happy Birthday"

We love Lake Lure and this home was a beautiful location for us to celebrate my mother's 92nd birthday. While we did not have a view of the lake, the house was very clean, wonderfully well appointed, and we spent each evening on the deck outside next to the fire. Just a beautiful home in a beautiful location...

It was perfect. This house is gorgeous with decor that was so well done! We wanted a house with a Mountain View… the woods are a little thick so view wasn’t greatest but location and beauty of house was comfortable for our large group! Would definitely go back!
