Very peaceful great neighbors

Can’t say enough great things about this place. We loved it! We’re planning next visit. Piece of paradise!

The hosts were awesome. Actually spoke to the host and met Mom. That goes a long way. As a result heard the story of where we stayed. Great history. But boy did it rain! We hung out and watched tv. Couldnt take advantage of the water amenities but that was really okay.

We had the pleasure of staying this past week. From the moment you walk in the front door you just feel at home. Barbara and Byron were more than accommodating and just genuinely good people. We would rent from them again anytime!

Great spot on the lake with a pontoon available and the best of hosts! Will definetly be back as well as booking with them with their other properties. Great communication, very respectful, and perfectly reasonable. Couldnt ask for better!

We booked this stay last minute and Byron was very communicative to ensure our stay met our expectations. The stay itself was very comfortable with eclectic decor that we loved. It fit our little family well and felt quite homey. The listing is accurate in showing the property. They had everything you needed + more, aside from food (obviously). We spoke to his mother several times nearby and she was a very kind woman who gave as recommendations for local places to stop by/visit. She also directed us to lake access nearby since we were not able to rent their boat. We look forward to coming back soon!

The Marsh house was just what we needed! Two large bunk beds, cozy kitchen equipped with all the tools and appliances plus a cute bathroom with a great shower! Best part was that our dogs could stay with us! It rained one of days but the house had Netflix so we just chilled with some movies. The roads to get to the house are pretty narrow and there wasn’t a lot of street lights --just go slow! That’s lake life!

My husband and I attended a wedding in Lake Lure and needed a place that would allow our new puppy. The location was great and we enjoyed the long walks overlooking the lake with the pup! Everyone was happy

Lots of character in a small little getaway with all the essentials, even on rainy days. Our pups felt comfy and cozy and made themselves at home.

We had the best time! So relaxing and quiet. Just what we needed. The view was breathtaking and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The owner is amazing! Loved getting to meet her! We would definitely like to come back! The cabin is super cute and cozy! Very clean and relaxing.

All the space we needed for the weekend, great to have the boat option!

We had a wonderful visit to Byron's adorable cottage on Lake Lure. The property ended up being perfect for my family of 4 and two dogs. The property was better than advertised with a great location and easy access to the lake, two comfy queen bunks, fully stocked kitchen and extras of most everything. If you appreciate unique and funky you will appreciate all of the antiques that decorate the cottage and ski bar. Speaking of the ski bar, this was one of our favorite parts of the stay. We hung out there most every evening after playing in the lake all day. The vintage bar signs, lighting, and cool wood bar make it extra special. Byron and his mom Barbara were great hosts, excellent communicators, and extremely accommodating. Can't wait to book our next stay with them!

Perfect for a small family looking to enjoy lake activities with close proximity to Chimney Rock. Hosts were very supportive and helpful!

This little place was amazing and neat I loved the way it was decorated. I never would have thought a boat shed could be turned into something so cute and home feeling like this one did. Byron was super nice and very helpful. If I had anything negative to say would be that I wish the view was better can't really see the lake that great and you can only see it really good if you are sitting on the back of the boat. But other than that everything was amazing. Would stay agian for a short getaway.

Loved the quaint cabin and the peacefulness:)) Awesome place!! We will be returning!

We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. The house exceeded our expectations. Byron and Barbara were the kindest hosts we have ever had. Their communication with us was immediate and helpful. This little house is quirky and comfy and was stocked with the comforts of home. There are steps that go down to the ski bar, but what house in Lake Lure doesn't? Pretty much no house at the lake. What a lovely and sweet place this is. It provided the much rest and relaxation needed as well as let us get a glimpse into lake life. The boat rental was so much fun and not to mention beautiful. WOW. What a beautiful slice of North Carolina. Many many many thanks and we will be back!

Listed as a cottage but actually a renovated boat shed. Host said he would meet/greet but never showed up. The furniture was old and worn, lifted the cushions just to find dining room chair cushions placed there so you didn’t sink. Listed as “waterfront” you had to walk across a street and traverse 52 stairs to get to the water, not waterfront. There’s a storm drain directly in front of the door that had been disguised with plants in the listing, this was just an open drain when we were there. The described “ski bar” was unusable due to all the dust, Cobb webs and spider webs and hadn’t been cleaned in sometime. The listed deck is a stair landing with a grill and chairs at the top. Had scheduled to rent the pontoon but once again the host never showed up. There was “Lawn/garden” in the listing, don’t know if this was category left un answered or a claim, nevertheless nothing found that resembled that. Listed as “pet friendly” yep you can take your pet but there’s no place to walk/bathroom for them other than a mountain road with no shoulders, host mother laughed and said “there’s acres of woods” You better take your climbing shoes & rope if you do that. Had to endure the host mother constantly making excuses about the host’s personal problems for this ultimate failure. We ended up leaving early…talking to the host(text) he never offered any apologies for the condition of his listing. His listing ended up being creative writing along with a wide camera lens. Misleading to the point of fraudulent. I most definitely won’t be back. Have lodged a complaint with VIRBO, will see where that goes.

Wow! Just Wow! Love this place! Lake Lure and this property go hand in hand. No better way to see the sights and enjoy the vibe then through this home away from home. We were 100% relaxed and rejuvenated once it was time to go home. We will be back!

Want to go back already

This is the third year for the guys weekend in this amazing place! Thank you for always providing a wonderful weekend.

We stayed here for Spring break with our teenage son and two dogs. It was perfect. My favorite part was the access to the lake right out the front door (down some steps) along with the abundance of plants/trees/and wildflowers. The host(s) were friendly, informative and eager to help out with any questions! The decor was a mix of eclectic/eccentric and saw lots of memorabilia from my childhood. We will def.be staying here agin in the near future:)

Byron is an incredible host! This was our second year staying at his Vrbo, as our first experience was nothing short of amazing. Very clean, and a fun atmosphere! Will definitely be back again next year.

My husband and I were looking for a dog friendly place to stay close to Lake Lure so we could explore the area a little more. This place was perfect. It had everything we needed. We look forward to coming back when it warms up a little more.

We enjoyed our recent New Years trip to Lake Lure and staying at this cute little cabin by the lake. The place has so much character and the ski bar was an awesome outdoor hangout spot we were able to enjoy even at this time of year. The owner was very accommodating and helpful. The cabin has everything you would think of and then some! We will definitely be back thank you!

The house was really small but worked perfectly for my husband and I and our dogs. Our holiday plans changed last minute and Byron was able to accommodate us last minute.

My wife, dog, and I really enjoyed this place. You can tell Byron has poured his heart into everything there and how special a place it is. Everything was clean and perfect. We’ll be back soon!

This was a lovely little cabin for enjoying Lake Lure. This was our first visit and the weather in late October was gorgeous. We enjoyed the pontoon boat, exploring the lake and eating at the many lakeside dining options. We appreciated the house being dog friendly. Our 4-year old vizsla had a great time as well. Great price for a quiet couples weekend on the lake. Only suggestion would be to have stairs or some sort of ramp for our pup to get in the water. He was a little too scared to jump. :) And a quick note that the house is across a very narrow street from the cove, not directly on the water (though the tiki bar is), but that didn't hamper our fun.

Quite, quaint and comfortable. The Marsh Cottage has it all. We enjoyed cooking breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen and dinner too! Ski bar/Tiki Bar was fun after our afternoon rides on the pontoon boat, really neat decor. Great access to down town, Chimney Rock, Flowering Bridge, shops and restaurants, by car or boat. We'll be back next year for sure!

We had a wonderful time! The owner was very responsive and the property was nice!

Wonderful property and excellent communication from owners!

Has everything you need! Boat was wonderful!

Barbara and Byron were great hosts, Barbara even gave me some tips for dog friendly places in town. The cottage was really nice and we enjoyed hanging out by the lake. It was a perfect weekend getaway!
