Lake Lure, North Carolina
We BOAST the BEST WATERFRONT on Lake Lure ... Perfect for water lovers and water watchers. Our beautiful, newly constructed, boat house includes a big dock for rocking chairs both in or out of the sun... We have a water level dock that allows you to dangle your feet in the water just to get cooled down.
For a full swim, our wide steps allow you to slowly enter the water.....or you can be adventuresome and jump or dive off the end of each of our swim docks or really get out there by jumping off the top of our double slotted boat house.... Quite a thrill... No one has ever touched bottom by jumping off the top of our boat house.
For sun lovers, bring your sunscreen cause our boat house deck is huge and gets full sun all day.... but when you get hot, all you have to do is jump off the top for a quick cool down. We supply ski belts, just to be safe... also blue rubberized floats.
For shade lovers, rock comfortably on our shade screened lakefront porch or sit on our outside fully shaded patio with hammock. You can still see all the action on the lake. In fact all of the rooms in our cottage have a beautiful view of Rumbling Bald Mountain and the lake.
So we are nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Appalachian Chain, on the crystal clear, emerald waters of one of the most beautiful lakes in the world (National Geographic 1954), our lake front cottage's perfect location allows for active as well as 'laid back' vacationers during all seasons. With three, 18 hole golf courses in a three mile radius, municipal tennis courts, horseback riding, sight seeing, shopping, water sports, and wonderful restaurants within in a 20 minute drive, our guests can play till they drop.
Swimming, skiing, and floating the lake's currents are wonderful activities May through September, after which you will need a wet-suit and a warm wood fire blazing in our fireplace. Be certain to bring hot chocolate! But most of all ENJOY IT ALL!

On the main level there is a bath and a bedroom with a king bed and a single bed. On the lower level is a bunk room (not accessible from main house, has own entrance) queen bed and a bathroom. Perfect for children of all ages.. plus 2 sleeping cots on the lake front porch

The property is exactly as advertised, the host is incredibly responsive, we absolutely love this. Place- It felt like we were at home away from home and we will definitely be back.
Great week at the lake!!!!! The large deck provides georgous views of the lake. We really enjoyed eating, napping and playing games on the screened porch. My kids enjoyed jumping from the deck and fishing. Great location, great house and great relaxing week at the lake. We also enjoyed dinners at La Strada, Highlands and Riverwatch in Chimney Rock. If you are interested in renting a boat or waterskiing/tubing, book in advance as they book up fast.
The property location was outstanding, though I think any more than 8 is a little crowded. Had a few issues, (mostly supplies) but the owner was always contactable and quick to fix them. We had a very good time, and they had several lake supplies/toys to use.
While this place isn’t fancy, the dock, deck, and views are exceptional.
We had a wonderful time on the lake. We would definitely love to return!
We loved hanging out on top of the boathouse with a cocktail or 4. The views were spectacular and the water was deep - jumping off the top of the boathouse was a highlight for sure! The house was spacious with plenty of beds to choose from. Communication with the owner was great. He made himself available for any and all questions and comments we had before/during/after the trip. Overall it was a great experience!
Very homey and comfortable cottage on Lake Lure. The sun porch was our favorite spot. We played board games there and had meals. We had a few days with sun and a few overcast/rainy days. It was a lovely retreat. We enjoyed pontoon boating twice from Lake Lure Adventures (Don't Use Anyone Else!) and even jumped off into the cold lake :) We had meals at the Lake House and the Highlands Kitchen and Bar. Both of these were great experiences. The only constructive input would be to update linens as they smelled musty and not clean to us . We weren't able to use the washer (as it would not agitate) or the fireplace as it needed to be checked out for the upcoming winter season first. Jason the owner was very responsive and helpful. Absolutely everything else was amazing and we would definitely go back.
The boat house and view of the lake/mountains was amazing. My friends and I loved hanging on the water and jumping off the boathouse. The house itself was old school but had a lot of character. Parking was a little tight so you would need to get creative if you have more than 5 cars. The internet was spotty/not good at times and the upstairs toilet unfortunately stopped working after the first day. It is worth noting there was a power outage the first night that impacted a large portion of houses on the lake so that may have had a part to play in the internet not working very well the remainder of the weekend. Aside from the internet and toilet struggles, we enjoyed the house and had a great weekend.
The Allens' cottage is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the lake and the view. The house is so charming and decorated with historic prints showing the past of the area. It has mostly tile and hardwood floors and lovely scenery looking out from all the windows. Even washing dishes is a pleasure while gazing at the lake and mountains. Our son brought a paddleboard and spent hours on the lake. We are older and were happy rocking on the screen porch or sitting on top of the boat house. The house is convenient to several nice restaurants. Most have outdoor seating which was nice with our small dog. There are lots of steps involved on the interior and exterior of the house but most are wide and have handrails that make it very manageable. We have rented many vacation rentals through this site in Maine ,Montana, CO. etc. but the views from this home are as beautiful as we have experienced. Loved it!
Great location for all Lake Lure has to offer. The house is perfect for water sports, swimming, tubing, etc. Adequate kitchen for cooking meals. Lots of sleeping room for adults and kids!
The property was in a beautiful area with a great vacation home on a wonderful lake. We were supplied lots of lake toys to play out in the water, a canoe and a beautiful view of the l mountains. We went to La Strata Restaurant one night and to get ice cream another night. The weather was very cooperative. The house was old but comfortable. We would give it a two thumbs up for sure!
Lake Lure if fantastic and the property location on the lake is unbelievable. Perfect house for a lake vacation!!
The description mentions an old house but don't let this deter you. It is older, but perfect! The view is the best on the lake, and the deck is amazing! Our kids had great time jumping off of the lower docks and venturing jumping off the big deck. There was also a charcoal grill to cook our meals and a burn pit to do smores at night! We had a great time and will be back again!
Great communication from the outset and throughout the stay. This home is in a great location on the lake, and made many new great memories for us. The outdoor space and dock were perfect for all of us, allowing us to spend lots of hours enjoying the lake. We had everything we needed, and were able to do as we had desired-just relax and enjoy the location. Highly recommend for those looking for a way to enjoy the lake from a great location.
