What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the Lake Lure Dam Overlook, particularly praising the exceptional cleanliness and comfort of the associated cabin, which feels like a home away from home. The stunning views, especially at sunrise, and the abundance of amenities like a game room and luxurious master shower are major highlights. While the focus is on relaxation and enjoying the scenery, the proximity to outdoor activities is also a significant draw.
"The Overlook was thee Perfect spot for Our family Getaway. From the moment you pull into the driveway, to the Early Morning Sunrises, the views help remind us that, "Life is Good."
With the quaint cabin style and yet more amenities than you can shake stick at, the Overlook seems to be a miniature resort in itself.
If Nature doesn't appeal to you, they have enough games and entertainment below to substantially tickle your dome.
Just a little piece of advice: go outside and discover the true Treasures of life, see the Real beauty of the Land. Climb, Hike, Fish, Zipline....because when all is said and done, Vacations, are Never Long Enough."

"EXCEPTIONAL!!!!
My family and I got the chance to spend a week in this beautiful cabin, and it was amazing! I am extremely OCD, so cleanliness is my #1 go to when I’m staying anywhere. This cabin won’t disappoint! Everything was so nice and clean, and I felt like I was right at home! The views were absolutely stunning, and sitting on the oversized porch with the fire pit was one of my favorite things to do. I just thought it was wonderful! It had everything you could possibly need from pots and pans, to flashlights, lighters, all the way down to bandaids. The beds were super comfortable, with plenty of closet space and dresser
drawers for your belongings. The rain shower in the master bedroom was so amazing that I’ve decided to install one in my own house. We loved the leather furniture! It was so comfortable, and each seat had its own separate recliner which was a big hit with our family. The little loft upstairs was adorable, and just perfect for the kids. The giant kitchen table was another hit for us! We loved gathering around for family dinners and games. The game room/movie theater room was a blast! So many fun things to do , and the tv in the pool room was a great idea! I can’t say enough about this cabin! It was all around amazing, and we will definitely be coming back again and again and again!
Thank you for letting our family enjoy such a beautiful place together. So many beautiful memories were made ☺️🥰
