Catawba Lake House: Mountain Home on Lake Lure w/ Hot Tub and Private Dock!

In the wake of Tropical Storm Helene, Lake Lure continues to recover with remarkable progress each day. The main road around the lake is clear, most restaurants and shops have reopened, and grocery stores are fully operational.

Love the house but it does need more items in the kitchen for serving and items in decorating to make it more personal. For the price of the boat rental we did expect a little nicer boat . These items are just feedback but overall we loved our stay!

We'll be back
Cleanest property we've ever stayed at! The house is wonderful...enough beds and baths to host adults that appreciate privacy. Beds were comfortable. Pillows were great. Could use a few more bathtowels for drying hair (only one per/person). Loved the makeup towels. as of Aug. 2024 the house provides TP, papertowels, coffee filters (automatic drip--no K cups), laundry and dishwasher detergent, turkish towels for the lake, propane for gas grill, garbage and recycling bags, plus cooking essentials (salt, pepper, oil, vinegar). Kitchen dishes/pots/utensils are great. I love this but b/c I didn't know in advance I dragged all this to/fro so a heads up on this would be helpful. Parking is good but requires a 90 point turn (can't imagine doing this with trailer). We had a bear visit which was probably due to the broken lock on the garbage can. So happy they allow dogs! Water is potable (no need to use the Britta pitcher I dragged) and ice makers works great. Full frig. and wine frig in basement so plenty of room for food and drink. We had wifi issues and bounced the router a few times. Friends with Tmobile and AT&T had no issues getting LTE but Verizon was awful and had to drive to make a call (and then get wifi calling enabled). No need for firesticks since all were smart tvs. Rented the owners boat and loved it. Also loved canoe but ultimately rented kayaks for the kids. Could use some weedwacking down to the dock but the tons of stairs were stable and secure.

Relaxing and beautiful surroundings
House was great! House was clean upon arrival except floors were still dirty. Beds super comfortable . Could have used a few more towels only provided 1pp . Wish the branches on trees were cut back some so had better view of the lake. Otherwise the location was beautiful and the lake was amazing . The pontoon rental made our week on the lake even better. The property manager was great as they always returned messages promptly and responded quickly as did the pontoon rental owner. Thank you for everything we had a time!

Lake Lure Family Vacation
This was our first annual family vacation spent in the mountains instead of Hilton Head. Though the location was excellent and the weather superb, the house failed to meet our normal expectations. The front door would not shut and latch properly, the furniture throughout the house was extremely dirty. The list of amenities included a pool table, but there wasn’t one in the residence. The pontoon boat was enjoyed by all, just disappointed that the local Lake Lure restrictions didn’t allow tubing behind it. The entrance drive could use a grading, since the ruts are very bad! We enjoyed our stay, even with these few discrepancies! Thank you for allowing us to use your vacation home.

Fun for Everyone!
We were there with 3 generations for a family vacation. The kitchen was well stocked. All ages enjoyed swimming in the lake- plenty of life preservers were available. Our 7 yo grandson was thrilled to fish off the dock, even though we threw the fish all back in! Grocery store is close by. Beds were very comfortable. A pack n play and high chair were in the closet. The canoe was a hit with all ages. It was a wonderful home. We highly recommend it. Everyone wants to come back. Thank you for a wonderful family time together!

The property was just as described, well equipped, and suited our party of 8 adults extremely well. The two decks gave us ample room to sit outside, and the cosy fire warmed us nicely on the one cold day we had. Highly recommend Catawba Lake House.

The property is absolutely gorgeous. The house was clean and spacious. There were some small things like bulbs that needed to be replaced. The ceiling fan in the main living room was very noisy. I had rented the pontoon boat as well, but an unexpected mechanical issue caused it to not be available. There are a lot of steps in the house and down to the boat dock so you need good knees lol.

Fantastic for Family
We enjoyed large family vacation at Catawba Lake House! Everyone was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had all we needed to cook dinner each night. Kids spent all their time in Lake Lure, playing pool or using the freestanding golf arcade game. Asheville is close enough for flying in and out (which is what a few family members did) and also taking day trips. Most of our time though was spent at the house enjoying family and the house. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

I dont like spiders and snakes
My family was there from 8-25 thru 8-24. The house appeared very clean. Had everything you might need for a week stay along with plenty of room. The only issue we had was the fact we were constantly being bitten by something. It didn matter if we were inside our outside. We definitley think if you trimmed the trees between the lake and the house that may not only help with bugs but would go along way with a view of the water. We also felt that we could not sit down on the dock or the decks due to how dirty the chairs, boat and dock were. simply blowing the leaves off and taking a magic eraser to the boat would also go a long way. I hope you take my review seriously because you could take that house to another level if the outdoor furniture and boat were kept up. We do not go to the lake to stay inside. Oh and the dryer doesnt work very well may want to look at that too.

Great week at Lake Lure!
We took our family to beautiful Lake Lure - a great lake. This house is nicely located nicely close to grocery, the town of Lake Lure, Chimney Rock etc. We did side trips to Sliding Rock and Looking Glass falls and stopped at Sierra Nevada Tap Room for lunch after. We visited Chimney Rock State Park and hiked some of the trails. We did rent a pontoon boat from Yonder and frankly we think it is a must to have a boat to enjoy the lake. Plenty of space for all 11 of us. The winding roads of Lake Lure are a challenge and this house is down a steep road but you are right on the lake!
