Relaxing, Rejuvenating and Beautiful
Mountain Lure is just as described and more. The setting is beautiful. Nature surrounds you. The view is gorgeous. It was wonderful just watching the mountains, sky and clouds. Even watching the rain as it came and went. The night sky is unbelievable. The house is clean and welcoming. The kitchen is well setup for any number of culinary delights. Everything throughout the house is labeled to assist in finding items as well as for the light switches. The hosts are very accommodating and available to help however they can to make your stay all that they can. It was a wonderful stay. Once of the best vacation homes that we have rented and we have rented a number of them over the years.

We received communication from Michelle before we arrived and found the home and property just as it was presented. The home was clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. When leaving the premises the directions were clear and easy. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks, Michelle

Amazing views!
We loved staying here! So quiet, comfortable and relaxing. The views were amazing from every room in the home. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. Close to Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, and Black Mountain which were places we wanted to explore. Hillman's Brewery in Old Fort was another which was very good and relatively close. Also loved visiting the waterfall in the Gateway Community. Michelle was a great host and stayed in touch throughout our visit to make sure we had everything we needed. Hope to get back for another visit!

What a great hidden gem
We typically stay at a cabin in pigeon forge twice a year but they are generally “neighborhoods” and stacked next to each other. This year we wanted something a little more secluded so we tried this area, and what a great decision it was. There’s a cabin across the street but when you’re in the cabin, the only view you have is of the mountainside, which is just amazing. You are well off the beaten path for sure. The only downside to this location (if you want to classify it as that) is that you don’t want to leave. We’re all about going out a few times a day and being served somewhere while trying local diners,etc.. this unit makes me want to pack a cooler and bring enough food for a few days to actually just stay in and enjoy nature, cook on the grill,etc… I’ve already shared the link several times on my Facebook and friends are planning on going as well. All for all, this unit is an 11 out of 10… will definitely be back

Wonderful Mountain Oasis
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mountain Lure in May, 2024. The owners were constantly in touch before and during our stay ensuring that we were completely satisfied with our time at their rental home. The house was immaculate, well provisioned, and comfortable. The views from the bedrooms and the backyard balcony were incredible. Wonderfully quiet and relaxing, we can envision ourselves returning time and time again to this property. Thank you for offering such a great rental!

Breathtaking Views!
We were awestruck the moment we walked through the front door at the layered mountain view. The winding drive up the mountain was worth it! You will not be disappointed. Plus the owners have provided a well-stocked kitchen as well as bathroom essentials. They provided driving directions to Lake George and the Waterfall in the Gateway community and also nearby towns, which were very helpful. I wish we could have stayed longer. It was hard to leave.

Wonderful time in the mountains!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. My brother-in-law has mobility issues so the master bath walk-in was a life saver for him. Everything- furniture, appliances, kitchen supplies, bathrooms, etc- were well maintained and comfortable. I highly recommend these accommodations!!

Our mountain getaway
We chose this house largely because of the view out the living room windows and from the deck but the entire home was a joy! The beds were very comfortable-we slept very well! The kitchen was very well stocked. The home owner Michelle was available and communication was easy. Although things we chose to do were an hour drive or so (Asheville, Biltmore, Hiking, Grandfather Mountain) it was well worth it to enjoy this home!

Beautiful View!
We enjoyed our honeymoon week staying at this beautiful cabin. The huge windows and ample deck, as well as the patio below gave us plenty of options to drink in the view of the surrounding mountains. We also really appreciated how easy it was to access the front door from the driveway — just a couple porch steps is all. Thank you!

Mountain Escape
This property defines relaxation. I work all the time and it is always hard to find down time. On this vacation, I sought to do just that - relax. Bring a good book. Get by the fireplace. Turn on some nice tunes and enjoy the view - especially at night. And the stars...oh my! It is a great place to hit the reset button. My family and I will be returning.

Spring Break Getaway
Wonderful home and property, house had everything we needed and more! Perfect for our family of five. Fantastic view and atmosphere. Home is in a very nice gated community. Traveled with a Chrysler Town & Country van and had no issues getting to the location. Only 15-20 min to the closest store, local brewery (Hillman's...be sure to visit!), and the highway. Communication with the owners was top notch. Would love to stay here again.

We had originally planned to tour the Biltmore estate during one of the two days we were here, but one look at the gorgeous mountain view upon entering the house & we decided to just stay put! Enjoyed the late fall colors and sunny days. Bed was comfortable, towels were thick, nice touches like pottery decor and beautiful nature photography taken by homeowner.

About the host

Hosted by David & Michelle Buhler

Host profile image
We've spent most of our lives in the Southeastern United States and when looking for our dream vacation home, we knew we had to find a home where we could relax and enjoy nature. We love spending time on the deck - bird watching and looking for other wildlife while taking in the beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains around Lake Lure! We rarely spend time indoors as the beauty of the area is too tempting to miss! We enjoy hiking, birding, wildlife & landscape photography and just spending time in nature.

Why they chose this property

We chose this home because it has everything we wanted for our dream vacation home--a tranquil setting with amazing views where we could enjoy nature, unwind and relax. We found all of this and more in our Gateway Mountain home. We trust that you will enjoy our little piece of paradise as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Beautiful mountain views greet you as soon as you walk in the door as the large wall of windows allows you to enjoy the outside while you are still inside. Enjoy beautiful views of Lake Lure and surrounding mountains. Drive on all paved roads to our home in the gated community of Gateway Mountain.
