About this home

True to its name, Tranquility Lake House offers a rare blend of absolute serenity and powerhouse investment performance. Tucked away on a quiet, non-motorized section of Bald Mountain Lake in Lake Lure, this premium waterfront estate is a turnkey short-term rental managed by Carolina Mornings. The estate features two distinct living structures that comfortably sleep twelve guests.
