The Cedar house has 4,300 square feet of luxurious living space, including a sprawling loft, three private bedrooms, one bunk room, three full baths, and two half baths. The home sits high on the hill with two stories of decks, offering breathtaking panoramic sunset views over the lake and Blue Ridge mountains. If you are looking for an instagram-worthy spot, you have found it :) With nearly three acres of land, the home offers a unique combination of privacy and direct lake access.
Featuring a wide open floor plan, the fully equipped gourmet kitchen opens on to a grand two story great room. Three comfy couches, large television, and whole house speaker system adorn the great room. With double ovens, a commercial grade gas cooktop, and two dishwashers, prepping meals is easy and enjoyable. A large central island offers ample prep space and casual seating for seven. The adjoining dining room comfortably seats eight.
The sun-filled screened porch is adjacent to the kitchen. Two large windows open from the kitchen on to the bar. A spacious sleeper sectional, television, and game table round out the space. The game table easily transforms from a standard dining top to a poker or bumper pool table. A dedicated heating/cooling unit keeps the sunroom comfortable all year long.
From the great room, a spiral staircase ascends into the loft bedroom. The open loft captures the astounding views and has a private balcony overlooking Bald Mountain. A king bed, queen sleeper sofa, and daybed with trundle comfortably accommodates sleeping for six. A full bathroom with generous walk in shower and a separate half bath complete the space.

Bedroom 4 (bunk room) has four twin beds. Two shared bathrooms are located off the central hallway. One bathroom contains a large whirlpool tub, shower, and separate toilet room.

Out the front door of the home, a stunning waterfall and pond welcome guests. A large blue stone patio wraps around a wood burning fire pit with built in seating benches. From the fire pit, access the private wooded path to the boat house and dock. A short walk through the woods will lead you to the playground and a staircase descending to the boathouse. Alternatively, guests may choose to drive down to the boat house. Ample parking is offered.
Sitting ninety steps off the parking area, the boathouse deck offers lots of seating and lounging space. A covered pavilion with custom bar, refrigerator, ice chest, speaker system, and trash cans. Two single kayaks, one double kayak, a paddle board, and a canoe are provided. Tons of rafts including a giant 6' by 15' "island" are ready for the kids and the kids at heart. The dock is located in a quiet, no-wake cove and is ideal for everyone to safely swim and play.

Amazing view! Great access to lake. Paddle board and kayaks to use. VERY clean and SUPER ORGANIZED. Great info about home and area in binder when we got there.
My family and I had the pleasure of spending Thanksgiving at this wonderful house. It was perfect space to cook and have quality time while enjoying a beautiful view in a cozy house. There is so much room to spread out inside and out.
Beautiful house.?
Great time together with family! The house was perfect. The house is well stocked with EVERYTHING you need during your visit. The pool house and playground provided entertainment for you and old. Highly recommend this house.
Before our trip to Lake Lure and the Cedar House, I would classify our family as “Beach Goers” Now, I would say that we are “Lake Goers”. Everything was great! We were worried about not having enough to do with the young kids but, the boat house cove provided entertainment for both young and old! The Cedar House home was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The back porch views were breathtaking. Morning coffee and afternoon/evening sunsets were more than relaxing. We will have lasting memories of our family “Lake” vacation!
This home was incredible! Everything we could possibly need plus more. Super clean and Brandy & Katie answered all questions quickly. We would highly recommend this vacation rental.
Our family of 13 -15 adults, teens, kids and babies vacation together every year. It takes a big house, lots of beds, a huge kitchen and plenty of space for gathering to make it work. Cedar House at Lake Lure was our perfect place. We had a lot of questions, and host Katie Miller replied promptly and thoroughly to each one. We were arriving in several cars and there was room for all of them. We needed two ovens, two dishwashers, two washers and dryers.....no problem at Cedar house. We needed several areas for gathering up and found four good places the first day....the decks, the living room with a big coffee table for games, the sunporch with more big sofas, a kid table for meals which doubled as a bumper pool / poker table, and the long table in the dining area, where the cooks could visit with family while making meals. The entryway to the front door became the art and game area for the little ones, out of the way but close to the action. We slept a family of four in the loft and they were not bothered by noise. We slept all teenage boys in the bunk room....what a gift that was. The bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful, well stocked and there was plenty of water pressure. A storm knocked out power to the house one night just as we put a big soufflé in the oven. Within seconds, the whole-house generator switched itself on and worked all night until power was restored. We didn't miss a minute of fun. The lake? Perfect, clean, lots of toys. Best house ever!
The Cedar House did not disappoint! The views were just spectacular and the boathouse was fabulous! The owner, Katie, was very responsive when the TV went out due to a storm in the area. Thank you!
Our family had a wonderful time staying at this property. The house was very clean and well furnished and the property manager / owner was very responsive to any and all inquiries. The playground was also a great benefit for the small children. Excellent views as well! Would highly recommend!
Possibly one of the best family vacations we have ever taken. Katie made sure we had everything we needed to have a stress free trip. Nothing was left to chance. Highly recommend staying at their wonderful home.
House is massive, gorgeous, and a beautiful view of the lake. Has everything you need for the stay.
We had a fantastic time at this beautiful lake lure home. Lots of different places for the family to gather, enjoy beautiful views and just have fun. Extremely well equipped kitchen made feeding the crowd a breeze.
If we could give this property more than 5 stars we would! The home is in perfect condition and very well stocked. Comfortable beds, sheets and towels. The boat house is a little bit of a walk (as others have mentioned) but we were well aware and made the most of it. Would DEFINITELY stay here again. You won't find a better view on Lake Lure!
You will never get tired of the beautiful view. The pontoon boat was great to rent. The house has everything you would ever need.
Beautiful home and every detail taken care of. We love to cook family meals at the Lake after a day on the Lake and before the sunset cruise. Home has everything you need. Kitchen very well accessorized with everything you need!
We booked this home for our annual family vacation. We had 13 people (9 adults and 4 small children). It fit us perfectly…in fact the sofa bed and trundle bed in the loft were never used nor was the sofa bed in the sunroom, so it could certainly house more. Katie and her family have thought of EVERYTHING a guest could need…any utensil, kitchen appliances, pot/pan, etc. was there and every cabinet and closet clearly labeled to find it. (Believe me with so many cabinets you are super grateful for the labeling ?) The furniture and beds were comfortable and clean. Just a very well appointed home! The views from the balconies are stunning! The “spectacular views” description in the listing is spot on! There is a bit of a hike through a trail to get to the boathouse which most of us actually enjoyed, but might be tough for an older or less althletic person so be aware of that…or you can just drive around to the parking spots for the boathouse and head down the staircase from there. That boathouse is where we spent most of our time! Again, any float, noodle, lily pad you can think of is available for use. There are chairs and umbrellas up top and tons of places to store things and a mini fridge. We were able to connect our phones to the speaker system and have our own little party every day! Down below are two swings that I spent hours reading in. We even rented their pontoon boat for the week. A little extra money but also worth it! Brandy, the property manager, was absolutely awesome. She showed us everything we needed to know and was available when we had questions. 10/10 reccomend this home! Thank you Katie and family for sharing your beautiful home!
The view of the lake was spectacular, especially at sunset! There was plenty of porch space and seating. The house was very clean and well organized. There was plenty of seating, kitchenware, cooking and cleaning supplies, laundry facilities, etc. Problems: 1. Upstairs bedroom was too open to noise from below. 2. Boathouse was too far away from main house. Access to it was difficult for elderly or handicapped people. 3. No en suite bathrooms downstairs. 4. Several folks had very annoying chigger bites. All in all, it was a fine vacation house. Thanks.
Owner was very responsive. House was perfectly furnished. We could not stop looking at the views from most every room. Active Cameras inside the living room, and kitchen was a little more disconcerting than I thought. We shared our concern ahead of the booking. It’s a family retreat and this was to insure property was safe. Would stay there again.
Everything about this property is fantastic. The location, the layout of the house, the enormous floor to ceiling windows, the balconies overlooking the magnificent view of lake and mountains, the well appointed boat house, everything! The host, Katie, has thought of everything and is extremely responsive throughout your stay. We will be back!
