beautiful views, peaceful location. My husband and I stayed in the master bedroom and I had the best nights sleep in ages and would love to know the make and model of the mattress. The access to the Rumbling Bald is a definite bonus. The kayaks, peddle boat and floating dock were very much appreciated.

The Perfect Vacation for Our Family
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Daydream Inn was a perfect fit for our family of 6 - included ages 5 to 70. The beds were comfortable and the inside was clean and well appointed with an eclectic decor that we all enjoyed. We immersed ourselves in the waterfront daily - making good use of the kayaks, sups and floating raft. Everything was in good working order. We especially enjoyed having access to Rumbling Bald amenities including the pools, putt putt golf, the waterfront and the fitness center. We are already booking for next year. Management was wonderful to work with as well.

We have been coming to Lake Lure for 7yrs and always stay in a different house and this is our favorite!

Sisters getaway
Stayed at this amazing lakefront home for a long weekend sisters getaway. It was beautiful, clean , cozy and full of charm. The online pictures do not do it justice. From the cabin to the location and amenities the home came with was wonderful. We swam in the lake, took peddle boat out for a little ride. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need to make your own meals which we did after some sun and water time in the lake. We would recommend 100 percent. Also near the town of Chimney Rock with adorable shops and good eats. Next time we plan to stay longer !

Great with a few requests.
My requests are to put a king bed in the master bedroom so my wife and I can sleep together. There is plenty of room. Also, blinds on all the windows in the master. I had to move many things off the counters and cabinets to the laundry room to make room for our dry goods.

Nice getaway
The house was very clean and well stocked. Sue was extremely responsive to all of our needs. The children loved kayaking and swimming in the lake. The amenities at Rumbling Bald were a real plus especially the lazy river. Because we had unusually hot weather we were unable to have dinner on the porch so my only suggestion is to have a few extra chairs for the indoor dining table. We were six people and two had to eat at the counter. It would have been nice for all of us to sit at the table.

The perfect vacation lake house!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Daydream Inn was the perfect spot for our family! We knew we wanted something lake-front with enough beds for everyone, and this spot ticked all the boxes and more. We knew it had everything we needed, but we were blown away when we arrived; it exceeded all expectations in person!Grandma was so happy to have a room separated from all the grandkids, and the young kids were thrilled to have rooms across from each other for max cousin fun!We lived on the water thanks to the floating dock, and put the paddle boards and kayaks to good use every day.The kitchen was more spacious than expected, and we were even able to host our 12 other relatives across the lake for dinner with ease.We can't wait to book Daydream Inn again next summer!

It was the perfect place for our reunion. 5 HS friends met in Charlotte and stayed at Daydream House for 4 nights and we picked the right place! The house was just as described. Clean, fully equipped and right on a beautiful part of the lake. Beds were very comfortable with fresh linens and plenty of towels for the bath. We floated out on the swim dock all day and had dinner at Lake House restaurant. Hosts were very responsive. The best time!!

They founds us a place on the fly, and it was PERFECT - right on the lake, with all of the water amenities (an amazing overall location to boot) you could ask for. We loved it - every minute of it!
