We stayed for a week and really enjoyed the house. It was very clean, spacious, and stocked with items that we normally don't find in VRBO rentals (paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, dish washer soap, washer/dryer supplies, shampoo, and body soap). It was so great to not have to run to the grocery for these basics! Location in Lake Lure is good- the house is in a private cove, but close to grocery store and some restaurants,
The house is set pretty far back from the lakefront- so be prepared to walk down and up lots of stairs. There is also a narrow spiral staircase inside the house which was a little difficult to walk down for an older family member.
Otherwise, we enjoyed the house and would recommend it to others.
