Moon River at Lake Lure

When you dream of a vacation in the mountains, you picture campfires, relaxing on a screened porch, playing in the lake, sitting by the river, hiking the days away, watching a movie by the fireplace, or roasting marshmallows and making memories by the outdoor fire pit.  You can do all those things and more at the PET FRIENDLY - MOON RIVER AT LAKE LURE. This home is located in the gated subdivision of Riverbend which features its own small private lake with beach, river access, picnic tables, and plenty of areas to hike and explore.

When you arrive, unloading luggage and groceries is a breeze.  There’s plenty of flat parking and the entry to the home is level.  Once inside, it’s all single level living with no stairs to access any part of the inside.  So, drop your bags and let’s look around.

This is an ideal home for a vacation group because of the open inviting floor plan.  As soon as you walk in, the beams on the ceiling and big stone GAS FIREPLACE pull you right inside.  The living room has beautiful hardwood floors with sofa & love seat perfect for watching a movie on the 55-inch flat screen HD 4K Roku SMART TV.  Adjacent to the main living room is a formal dining table for evening meals, games, or planning the next day’s activities.  Steps away is a breakfast bar for quick meals or a great place to set-out the food. The kitchen has everything you need including side by side refrigerator freezer, microwave, dishwasher, electric stove & oven, DRIP COFFEE MAKER, and toaster oven.  The kitchen is equipped with all the cookware and dishes you’ll need for preparing and serving meals.

Off the dining area are doors leading to the deck.  There is outdoor living space suitable for everyone.  Some prefer the screened porch for breezy afternoons while others prefer to enjoy the sun on the open deck.  Down a few steps is a grassy private FENCED REAR YARD ideal for children or dogs to play.  When the sun sets, grab the marshmallows, and sit for hours at the outdoor stone FIRE PIT.  We guarantee this is the place where lifelong memories will be made.

Back inside, the Master Bedroom features king size bed, large dresser, nightstand with reading light, closet, ceiling fan, and mini blinds plus curtains so you can sleep-in. The Master Bedroom has its own full bathroom.  But the Guest Room is where you might want to be.  It has queen size bed, large dresser, nightstand with reading light, side chair, and its own full bathroom.  This bedroom has glass doors leading to the rear deck. 

On the other side of the home is a combination of kids Bunk Room plus Game Room.  The low bunkbed is best suited for younger children and is in a small room with a door in case they need a quiet place to sleep.  The Game Room will be everybody’s favorite because it has an AIR HOCKEY TABLE, a PAC MAN ARCADE GAME, and a game table complete with plenty of board games.  There is a third bathroom conveniently located on this side of the home.  The laundry room has full size WASHER AND DRYER.
