We've heard the fishing is pretty great at Lake Adger! Get your family and friends cooking in the gourmet kitchen or go out on the large patio and grill under the stars. Relax on the deck, enjoy nature's sounds, and take in the incredible views. Home is selling fully furnished and is currently on a Vacation Rental Program with Carolina Properties in Lake Lure.
