“We absolutely loved our stay here! Everything was decorated beautifully, and the view was breathtaking! ” – Hannah (Family Group Trip)
Gather your favorite people at Wildview Retreat, a designer 5BR mountain home with sweeping Lake Lure and Blue Ridge views. Spend mornings over coffee on the decks, afternoons at our private dock or community beach, and evenings in the 8-person hot tub, around the fire pit or battling it out in the game room. Sleeps 15 with plenty of room for families and groups to spread out—and you're minutes from Chimney Rock, restaurants, trails and wineries.
Settle into a peaceful mountain escape overlooking Lake Lure, where you’ll feel tucked away yet remain minutes from groceries, dining, and local cocktails. Wildview Retreat offers rare seclusion without sacrificing convenience. No 4WD needed.
With 5 BRs, two decks, arcade games, a pool table, fire pit, and 8-person hot tub, Wildview blends comfort, fun, and privacy just minutes from Lake Lure.
We offer two LAKE EXPERIENCES -
1/ Lake Lure PRVATE DOCK - offsite from house, and a quick 3 min. drive or 15 min walk (note, no sidewalk). Boat/kayak rentals can be delivered to the dock for day-use (ask about multi-day rentals).
2/ Private Community LAKES & BEACH - 8 min. drive. Two quiet lakes with a sandy beach, picnic pavilion, grills, calm waters for paddling, and even a short trail leading to a small waterfall. It’s an easygoing, scenic area to enjoy nature at a slower pace.
“Our family of 10 loved this well-decorated, lovely home! Highly recommend—great amenities. Kids enjoyed the games and arcades as well as karaoke! The view is gorgeous!” – Sara, July 2025
Whether you’re planning a multi-generational gathering, mini-wedding, or adult getaway, Wildview offers a peaceful escape with easy access to town.
As soon as you walk inside, the world fades away. Gather for meals at the large dining table overlooking the mountains, unwind by the fire pit, or sink into the hot tub where you’ll see nothing but treetops and sky. Every corner invites relaxation and memory-making.
Surrounded by birch and poplar trees, the home’s panoramic lake and ridge views shift with every season—from glowing autumn color to the soft greens of summer mornings.

“The house was well equipped with fun things to do. The kids loved the karaoke machine and arcade games. The younger kids enjoyed the books and board games.” – Taurie
