Home Truths: - Lake Lure will be undergoing a drawdown starting January 1st, 2025 through the first quarter of 2025(March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet has been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging, and dam projects 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. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. While we understand this is an inconvenience, this does allow you to enjoy the full beauty of Lake Lure in the fall and holiday season. - Sleeps in beds: 10 - Max Occupancy: 10 - Additional sleeping space includes 2 twin beds and a full bed in the game room - We provide linens for all beds; other occupancy will require guests providing their own linens - Internet Speed: Download - 1000Mbps - Cleaning fee: $275 We openly share & clearly posts our Cleaning Fees in a manner of full disclosure, as we think this is the most honest and forthright approach with respect to our guests.
