5 Br/3.5 Ba. 3 KING BEDS. LAKE FRONT. FIREPIT. GAME ROOM. MULTIPLE PORCHES.

As of now, Lake Lure is not expected to be open for boating and/or swimming by summer 2025 as lake recovery and cleanup efforts are still ongoing. However, our home is good to go and ready to host. We have just reduced our rates and minimum booking nights to reflect the expected conditions. The house remains a wonderful place for gathering and creating memories. The lake and mountains are still as beautiful as ever. Thank you for your continued support of such a special small town. Please refer to the town of lake lure's website for current lake status's.

Beautiful LAKEFRONT home. This home boasts a King Suite as well as four spacious gathering decks and room to spread out. Numerous indoor as well as outdoor living areas including a billiard room. Garage has been converted into a rec room with a ping pong table, foosball, giant jinga, and TV. Enormous sun deck atop a 2 stall boathouse. 2 Kayaks and 2 paddle boards (SUP) included with rental. Inquire with owner regarding rental of 20' pontoon. Sonos sound system. 3 king beds, 2 queens, 1 single, 3 roll-away beds, and 2 pack-n-play cribs. Fully stocked kitchen. Weber gas grill and charcoal grill are available for use. Our cove is nestled back from the traffic flow of the main lake allowing a safe space for children to swim away from boat traffic.

*NEW in 2022- we have just completed a stone fire pit addition to the side of our home.

This is our third year staying at this property and we consider it our second home. It is beautifully appointed exactly as pictured, and the owners are responsive and a pleasure to work with. We have already booked for next year!

Ali was super responsive, to any and all questions. The 5 bedrooms, over three floors did an exceptional job accommodating our large family (including Grandchildren). Many great areas to gather, and the reck room was a great feature.

We stayed here with our wedding party for our wedding weekend. The place was absolutely perfect and so was the boat! Thank you for the great hosts!

This was our second stay at the house and I know we will be back again! The property is in the perfect location on the lake - close to the marina, restaurants, etc., but still tucked away for a serene vibe. We rented the pontoon and it really adds to the lake experience, but you can have so much fun on the water even without it thanks to the paddle boards, kayaks, lily pad and spacious dock. The house is equipped with everything you need for an infant/kids, which made packing so easy. Thank you, Ali and Keith, for creating such a special place!

We had a great time with our family at Idle Speed! The hosts were great and the house was just perfect! Beautiful spot on the lake, very clean, lots of great porch space and hang out space! We also enjoyed being close to some great hiking spots and the Chimney Rock area.

This house was everything we expected, and more! The area was perfect for a family vacation. We explored the Biltmore, chimney rock state park, and are glad we rented a pontoon boat to cruise around the lake.

This was an excellent choice for our family to gather for the week. The house was comfortable for all and well supplied. Lake Lure is a beautiful vacation spot and we loved all the porches and views from each bedroom. We especially enjoyed the times we took the boat out. Ali and Keith were so friendly and responsive to any questions. We would definitely recommend staying at this wonderful home on the lake.

We absolutely loved this place. We have rented through VRBO for several years and multiple properties and we all agreed this one may have been our favorite. We want to come back in the summer and jump off the boathouse!

Ali was an amazing host. very responsive on anything I needed. The house was amazing. it was almost too big for 5 people, but I hope to come back with a few more in the summer!

Great Property, the decks and Sun Rooms are wonderful for relaxation time. Our kids enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding. The Chimney Rock area is quite beautiful. The sidewalks do roll up early in town and there are only a few places open after 8pm.

This property worked out great for our family of 10! The game room and pool table were used a lot. Beautiful view and it was great that they had kayaks for our use!

We had a wonderful time with our children and grandchildren. The house was gorgeous and as depicted on VRBO. Plenty of room for all of us and fun for every age. During the day we enjoyed using the pontoon boat or just swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding off the dock. In the evenings we enjoyed playing pool and ping pong or having smores at the firepit. The house is very convenient to Chimney Rock and a number of restaurants. We would definitely rent this property again if we return to Lake Lure.

We originally had reservations in Gatlinburg but due to snow and ice we had to cancel. At the last minute we looked for somewhere else to gather and came across Lake Lure. The house and village of Chimney Rock exceeded our expectations!! Our family loved the house on the lake, we will definitely be back.

We rented this house for our family including our grown children and grandchildren. The house is perfect! It has everything you could possibly need and more! The location on the lake is just beautiful with so much to do! My only complaint is we didn’t get to stay long enough! We definitely plan to come back again!

We had an absolute amazing time here! The house itself was great with the well-stocked kitchen, great bedroom layout, and fun things to do like pool and ping pong. And everyone loved the lake amenities - kayaks, paddle boards, floating water mat, and a great deck to sit and play games and just enjoy the lake. Can't wait to come back and spend more time here!

"Enjoyed our stay at the Lake Lure cabin in North Carolina. The cabin offered a cozy retreat with well-appointed amenities. The location provided a serene atmosphere, and the cleanliness was commendable. While we had a comfortable stay, a few minor improvements could enhance the overall experience. Nonetheless, we appreciated the charm of the cabin and the beautiful surroundings."

Idle Speed was exactly if not better than anticipated. We had ample room for 11 of us and all the amenities plus more than we could have hoped for were provided. Pool table, ping pong, foosball, kayaks, so much to do. This property truly caters to every age level.

We had an awesome time at the lake. The views were amazing. It was quiet and relaxing! The house was clean and spacious! Kitchen was well stocked with pans, plates, silverware, etc. The host Ali was quick to respond when we did have a question. Definitely would consider returning another time when it’s warmer to enjoy the lake activities.

Idle Speed was a good fit for our family, nice bedrooms and lots of porches and a well-equipped kitchen. Lots of places for people to be together as well as have some quiet time, both indoors and out. As noted by others, it’s important to be aware of the stairs that need to be used to get to and from the lake and the boathouse. Ali was a pleasure to deal with, fast and responsive.

Had to cancel the day of arrival due to real bad weather. The owner very accommodating and was willing to rebook at no charge for a different date during the off season. We ended up not using the home, but we appreciated the offer.

This property has everything one would ever want while vacationing. Billiards, ping pong, fuse ball, board games, paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, fishing supplies and more!! If you are looking to get away with family and friends, this is your spot. The house will comfortably fit large groups. Our grown college and high school children really enjoyed their space downstairs. Ali is incredibly accessible and available to help in so many ways. I would stay here again in a heart beat. Thank you for such an amazing week!
