Property details

Welcome to Paws and Relax! FIRE PIT~FAMILY FRIENDLY~INTERNET~ROMANTIC~PET FRIENDLY~FENCED IN YARD Tucked beneath the pine trees in beautiful Lake Lure, this charming cabin is located inside the private Stonecrest gated community. It offers the perfect blend of comfort, seclusion, and mountain charm. Surrounded by lush greenery and situated at the end of a quiet street, you’ll feel wonderfully tucked away while still being close to area attractions. The driveway accommodates 2–3 vehicles with ease. Step onto the wraparound deck that welcomes you into the home and leads around to the private backyard — ideal for relaxing and enjoying the fresh mountain air. Inside, the main level features an open-concept living space with a large living room, a large TV, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen — perfect for gathering after a day of adventure. Just off the kitchen, the first bedroom offers a comfortable queen-size bed and a walk-in closet. Nearby, you’ll find a full bathroom with a bathtub, as well as a conveniently located stackable washer and dryer. Upstairs, the cozy loft provides a second living area complete with a TV and game table — a great hangout spot for kids or a quiet retreat. The second bedroom features another queen-size bed, and the upper level also includes a full bathroom with a bathtub. Step outside to enjoy the outdoor amenities — grill dinner on the charcoal grill, relax around the fire table while you dine, and end the evening by gathering around the fire pit to roast marshmallows under the stars. Paws and Relax is pet-friendly, offering two extra-large crates, two small crates, and a fully fenced yard for your furry companions to enjoy. Conveniently located less than 10 minutes from Lake Lure Beach and Water Park and Chimney Rock State Park, this rustic retreat is perfectly positioned for hiking, lake days, and exploring the natural beauty of Western North Carolina. There are 2 kayaks that can be taken to Lake Lure to use. Guests are responsible for paying for a day pass to use them. Additionally, Lake Adger is nearby and does not require a permit to use them.

Beautiful house and area. Big problem was the ac was not working when we showed up and did not get fixed until the afternoon of the following day. Very hard with children that need naps and cool air to sleep at night. The dish washers leaks all over the floor and had to clean all the water up. Little thing, when it rains, water comes through the back door seal and makes it easy track through house and makes floor slick.

This could have easily been a five star stay for us - beautiful location and quiet neighborhood. Unfortunately there were a lot of issues, seemingly stemming from a lack of attention to detail, the lack of proper home maintenance, and less than stellar housekeeping. Upon arrival, the first thing we noticed when we pulled up to the cabin was it looked very unkept- grass/weeds were knee high and the rollout trashcan was completely full. While we were settling in for our first night - we discovered all of the towels & washcloths were folded and put away wet, which meant we had to immediately do laundry to have clean towels. There were issues with the washing machine functioning properly however, we were able to get it working eventually and spent the remainder of our night washing towels. The lights out back do not work if you’re traveling with pets bring a flashlight. AC struggled to keep up in the heat & the house is in need of lamps. Host was responsive & tried to address issues.

The Staff at Carolina Properties was very responsive and respectful to our needs. We just moved to the area from Tennessee and stayed at their property for a month. No real issues, the gated community really made this property feel safe, secure and like we were at home.
