Lakeside Lodge – Private Dock, Hot Tub, Fire Pit & 8 Kayaks

Beautiful property with room for the whole extended family

14 of us stayed 3 nights, we had friends by for lunch, fish was caught & many memories were made!!

Wonderful place for a large family to have a great reunion. The owner is very attentive and answers very quickly. The area is beautiful with lots of outside activities in the area. He provides kayaks for adults and children. This is a must stay place.

Enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful few days before school started. Very nice home with everything you need.

Our family time at Lakeside Lodge had several disappointing aspects. 1. We visited the property we reserved in early March as we wanted to check it out before our June rental. We saw numerous houseboats and texted Tom to ask about them. He replied that they would be gone by early April. They most definitely were not!! There was a huge blue houseboat directly across from our dock and there were at least 20-25 others between us and the marina. We felt very misled!! It looked like a trailer park on water and NOT attractive at all. We have stayed for the last 3 summers on Lake Lure and we will definitely be back there next year- NOT interested in another stay with so many houseboats!! 2. Our cabin had apparently been painted the day before we arrived as there was a "wet paint" sign on the porch post as we arrived. The deck chairs were all stacked up on the front porch and the middle deck on top of the hot tub which were difficult to get back down. There were 2 big outside trashcans in the lower den, along with an outside bench that took 2 of us to get back outside. Also, the painters must have smoked a LOT because there were dirty ash trays on the bottom deck and the table looked like it had not been washed in months. I took a picture of the nasty paper towels I used to clean them up but can't figure out how to add them here. The deck cushions didn't look like they had been wiped down in months. 3. Dock area had 5 big tree size logs floating around-very unattractive!!
