14 Vacation Rentals with Game Rooms in the NC Mountains
Sometimes the best part of a mountain trip is the night you stay in. These 14 cabins in the Lake Lure area come with game rooms stocked well enough to keep everyone off their phones: pool tables, ping pong, air hockey, foosball, arcade machines, and more. Here's what each one has to offer.
1. Lazy Bear Lodge, Lake Lure, NC
Three bedrooms, three full baths, king beds in every room. The finished basement is where the action is: ping pong, pool, cards, and board games (stored in the hutch off the kitchen). The third full bath, laundry, and garage access are all on this level too. Inner tubes, floats, and boogie boards are stashed in the closet under the stairs for pool days.
2. Mills Mountain Lookout, Lake Lure, NC
Pet friendly and surrounded by paved roads, so bring the dogs and the motorcycles.

3. Mohicans Landing, Chimney Rock, NC
Five bedrooms, four and a half baths, sleeps up to 10. The Rocky Broad River and the mountains are visible from nearly every room.
