About this property

Upscale townhome across from Lake Lure Beach & one mile from Chimney Rock

This gorgeous, upscale townhome sits on a ridge overlooking the lake in the Town of Lake Lure which was chosen by Southern Living as the #1 lake town in the South!

With stunning lake & mountain views and a convenient location across from the Lake Lure Beach and one mile from Chimney Rock State Park, this townhome is the perfect spot for a mountain lake vacation. You can walk to the beach and nearby restaurants from this townhome and if you're attending an event at the Lake Lure Inn, you can walk there as well.

On the main floor is the living/dining area, kitchen and a half bath. A French door leads to the outside covered porch with a gas grill, furnished for dining and with gorgeous up close views of the lake.

On the lower floor are two master suites, one with a king bed and a Smart TV and one with a queen bed and a TV with Roku. Each bedroom has a private attached full bath.
Both bedrooms open out into a second covered porch with a swing and outdoor furniture overlooking Lake Lure. There is also a washer and dryer on the lower floor.

Our kitchen is thoughtfully equipped to prepare a meal and comes with pots and pans, both casual and formal china, glasses, flatware and every utensil we could think of. We also provide a starter supply of coffee and coffee filters and basic spices.

Sorry, but the garage is not included in the rental. There are 2 guest parking spaces at the entrance to the home.

While we rarely have heavy snows, if you are coming to the mountains in winter or early spring, you must be prepared for the possibility of some ice and/or snow.

Spectrum internet was installed in 2024, and we are very pleased with their service.

NOTE: Lake Lure will be undergoing a drawdown starting Jan 1, 2025 through March 15, 2025. The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day on Jan 1, 2025 until 20 feet has been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging and dock work will be expedited during this time frame. These efforts by the Town of Lake Lure may affect access to the lake and restrict any lake usage during this time frame. Refilling of the lake will begin on March 16, and will depend upon rainfall. During the drawdown, visitors will still be able to enjoy hiking, zip lining, gem mining, fishing in the Rocky Broad River, dining, shopping, and the beautiful mountain views that surround Lake Lure.

Note that this home is located in a mountainous area, and we have occasional power outages. We cannot be held responsible for possible electrical power outages, internet connection, or cell phone reception, as these are circumstances are beyond our control, and no refunds will be given.

Beautiful VRBO
We were surprised how beautiful the unit we choose was so much better than the pictures. It was clean, well stocked and decorated nicely. We would recommend this place. The TV has all the popular apps, need to know your log in info. We wanted to watch one of the many DVDs they had but reached out too late to find out how to attach the player but answered our reply in a timely manner. Location and view was great!

Beautiful Property - Great Location!
This Townhome is absolutely beautiful right across from Lake Lure Beach, and conveniently located to Asheville, Hendersonville, and Rutherfurton. During our visit we had a couple of minor issues that were promptly and professional taken care of - all during the very busy week of 4th of July! We definitely highly recommend this property. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lake Lure Beach, 1927 Inn and Chimney Rock From Your Decks
Heather, the property manager, is not only a gift to the owners of this gorgeous condo in the way she keeps it spotlessly clean and handles bookings, but she is also perfect for guests; their happiness is her mission. She went beyond the call to help us with a TV issue knowing we wanted to see a particular sports event. Took her some time to reconnect some devices, but she did it for us. This is an upscale condo. Listing is accurate. Convenient to everything in Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. Parking for two vehicles in back. Short walk to La Strata for a decent Italian meal or Lured Market and Grill for a great lunch. Also near paved walking path to beach, Scoop Lake Lure for ice cream, to visit the famous 1927 Inn, the Marina or, for a longer walk, to the Flowering Bridge. Comfortable living/dining area, well-equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. Quiet, even though highway is just below property (most of noise blocked by bushes). Then step out on either the upper or lower deck (where swing is) to dine outside or just swing as you watch the sun set with Chimney Rock in the left background. We needed a quiet, restful three-nighter. This condo was perfect for that. Our stay was Wednesday through Friday nights before Mother's Day. Lake Lure was just waking up for the beginning of tourist season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), so we weren't fighting crowds or traffic. Both were picking up Saturday morning when we left.

Absolutely worth it
The location is great. The townhouse is very nice. It's definitely a 4 adult place with 2 beds total. For us it was perfect. While it was cold (Thanksgiving) you can definitely get an idea of how great the warmer months are. You don't need to be "on the fence" with this place. It's a good value for a great place.

Beautiful home with phenomenal views
Home was very nicely decorated and stocked very well. More room than we expected. The beds were both very comfortable. The back deck and ground level porch were great for relaxing and taking in the views, especially Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. The location was convenient for short treks around the area. The only minor complaint was that the sofa and loveseat were not comfortable for us (seniors).

Fantasic views and location
What a great property. We loved the views, the location, and the decor. Waking up with coffee on the deck looking at the lake and Chimney Rock or winding down on the deck with a wine or beer looking at the lake and Chimney Rock, it is a win win place. We woukd stay here again!

Fabulous view and location!
We enjoyed being able to walk to multiple restaurants and the marina. The home really felt like home! It was so well appointed and relaxing. The selection of books, DVDs, and the view from the patio made us sad to leave. The cherry on the top was the excellent communication and customer service provided by the hosts! We will visit again.

Great for a Work-from-home stay!
Beautifully decorated & perfect for a Work-from-home vacation! We loved our 7 night stay at this beautifully decorated and comfortable home. Having read all the other reviews, I will only briefly comment that this is probably the best-decorated and most comfortable VRBO home that we have experienced, and focus on one item that no other reviewers mentioned. My husband worked for the entire week while we were here, and loved the desk with the pull out keyboard tray and comfortable chair in the Master bedroom. He also loved the beautiful view out of the window behind the desk. We both found that our two different cell-phone providers worked fine here (Verizon and AT&T) and we had no problems at all with internet coverage or even streaming Zoom meeting video calls. The location is great and the view of the mountains from both the living room and both bedrooms is fantastic. The kitchen is well stocked, with upgraded appliances. We also really enjoyed the swing on the porch. What a sweet addition! This home is really ideal for 2-4 people if you are looking to visit the area.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Curtis

Host profile image
Sharon and Heather of Distinctive Mountain Lodging manage this stunning townhome for the owners who are frequent travelers themselves and love to stay in VRBO rentals. They have furnished and equipped Silver Linings Retreat the way they'd like a vacation rental to be. Their philosophy is that no matter what life brings, they always look for the silver lining. We hope you enjoy your stay in our Silver Lining.

Why they chose this property

The owners chose this property because of its excellent location. If you want to be in the middle of everything, while still enjoying privacy, this will be the perfect vacation home for you. There's even a great Italian restaurant within walking distance!

What makes this property unique

We love waking up to the gorgeous views of Lake Lure. We like having breakfast on the outside covered porch and cooking out on the grill in the evening. We also enjoy the swing on the downstairs porch. Since both porches are covered, you can sit outside even when it rains.
