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!

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!!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.
