Hot Tub! Waterfront! Moondance by Carolina Properties - Pet Friendly, Creek!

PET-FRIENDLY ~ HOT TUB ~ LOG HOME ~ GAS LOG FIREPLACE ~ CREEK FRONTAGE ~ INTERNET

Moondance at Clearwater Creek!

Moondance is a lovely and peaceful cabin in a wooded setting way back off the road on nearly 4 acres with a creek! It has a brand-new hot tub and lots of outdoor space with a wrap-around porch featuring covered and uncovered areas, a gas grill, and outdoor seating. The main level offers an open living area with high ceilings, a beautiful stone fireplace with gas logs, and two spacious bedrooms with king beds, each with a full bath. The lower level has two additional bedrooms, one with two twin-size beds, and the other has a bunk having a twin up top and full on the bottom, plus a full bath in the hall with a tub/shower combination. The two-car garage is on the lower level. This home is pet-friendly and allows up to two dogs; there is also a small fenced area for off-leash fresh air!

Moondance is just 15 minutes from downtown Rutherfordton and about 25 minutes from Lake Lure, so centrally located to many area activities and sights.

An excellent getaway spot for every season!

Moondance is the perfect vacation home for every season! Enjoy the beautiful snowy weather in the winter, where a cozy cabin feels just right. Stay warm and comfortable by the beautiful stone fireplaces. Visit in the summer when the weather is perfect all the time, and you can enjoy the soothing summer breezes and beautiful sunsets from the scenic porch overlook. No matter the season, this mountain home and the beautiful area will provide you with a weekend getaway or vacation that you and your loved ones will never forget!

Be Our Guest
Just pack some clothes, pick up some groceries (a Food Lion is just 7.4 miles away), and then enjoy what Moondance offers. If you visit once, we are confident that you will return for the beauty, fun, comfort, and hospitality. We look forward to you being our guest and know that you will absolutely love this home!

AREA WIDE NOTICE: Lake Lure will undergo a drawdown from January 1st, 2024, through the first quarter of 2024(March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet have been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging, and dam projects will be expedited during this time frame. These efforts by the Town of Lake Lure may affect access to the lake and restrict any lake usage. For more information, click here. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. While we understand this is an inconvenience, this does allow you to enjoy the full beauty of Lake Lure in the fall and holiday season. This will not affect the smaller lakes in the area, only Lake Lure itself.

Smoking is prohibited in all of our vacation rental homes.

Two Dogs are allowed at no cost. Guests must clean up all pet waste to avoid additional charges.

Parking for 3-4 vehicles.

Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. local time or anytime after.

Lovely stay!
Our stay here was very nice. The property was very clean and the check in and out process was very easy, and everything was set up for us. The upstairs of the property did have an odor of cigarettes and downstairs smelled a bit like an animals; this didn’t ruin our stay but made it a little less enjoyable for those that had to sleep downstairs.

Great Stay at Moondance
The property was great, clean and plenty of space for our family. The small creek in the back yard was great for our kids to explore, there’s also a nine fire pit area. The property managers were very accommodating and timely in all their responses, they also send out a welcome package the list everything you need to know, read thru it and you’ll know everything to need.

Absolutely Loved It
We just loved the rooms, the amenities, the hot tub, the privacy, and the family areas. The gates were great - at the top of the stairs, and to enclose the deck. Our dog unfortunately figured out the gate lock outside and took off in the woods but we got him back!! The only way it could have been better is more detailed and personalized instructions onsite for the gas fireplace. We really wanted to use the fire but the instructions online and video didn't seem to match our fireplace. Overall it was our favorite cabin and we would recommend it!

Beautiful clean home
Such a lovely home and very clean. The hot tub was a hit with our granddaughters. Spacious home and well stocked. Very private but close to town. Very happy with this home.

Wonderful get-away!!
Six of us women of what some would consider mature but we consider wise spent several days at Moondance and had a great time! We’ve NEVER had better communication and help from a host before. Everything was perfect—although I did ask ahead of time if there is a blender there and they didn’t know—so, just for future info—thereIS a blender. Place and rental company couldn’t be better!! Thank you, Carolina Properties!!

Moondance Stay
The house is great! We stayed for two weekends while showing at Tryon Equestrian Center and loved it. Its a quiet and relaxing neighborhood and the house is clean, spacious and just as advertised. Wifi was slow/spotty but other than that it was perfection.
