Signage could have been clearer and more precise getting to location. Ex. Condo vs Villas?Signs directing Apple Valley from Balding Knob guest services would have been nice. The property itself was fine. Nothing fancy but met our needs perfectly. I would suggest if staying in Summer, to bring a fan. Maintenance should fix a few things- only 1 kitchen outlet worked- one by stove; bathroom door knob on backwards, sliding door not very secure. Loved the layout of CONDO. Kitchen well stocked with necessities. Don't rely on gas station/ grocery store- very low in items. Restaurants in area are pricey. Don't go to this area if you're wanting to do things at Lake Lure currently, we have family that live in the area so we stay in this area to visit.Chimney Rock State Park did re-open. This was a nice excursion. Overall it was a good stay.
The place was extremely charming. Everything you need is within close proximity. Grocery store, restaurants and spectacular views. The staff (Hanna and Maggie) were amazing. The memories made were simply amazing! Donât hesitate to book your stay here! Well worth it for sure! Hoping to visit again very very soon!
This was our first time in Lake Lure and will definitely not be our last. Great location and easy access to all of the resort amenities. The condo was well equipped with anything you could need from cooking to games/ puzzles, fishing rods, etc. we loved looking at the book with historical pictures and information about lake lure and chimney rock. The patio was so quiet and had a great view of the trees. Being a corner unit is a huge plus and offers great privacy. It was the perfect spot to read a book or enjoy a cup of tea in the am. The bed was amazingly comfortable and we have a Tempurpedic at home so I usually hate the mattresses when we stay anywhere. The only thing that keeps me from leaving 5 stars was that the comforter probably needs to be replaced and we could hear the guests in the unit above walking/ moving around (understanding thatâs to be expected with a 2 story condo building). These were so minor in comparison to how fantastic this place is! 10/10 highly recommended and definitely plan to come back!
We enjoy everything about our stay. This is not our 1st visit to Lake Lure. We have family who live here year round. This was our 1st visit staying at Apple Valley #19. A home away from home. We make a trip twice a year from Florida and Apple Valley #19 will see us again.
