About this property

Lakefront - Cozy Cottage Directly On Beautiful Lake Lure!

Lake Lure is currently being cleaned with teams removing silt and debris from the impact of Helene. The lake is not open for swimming or boating at this time. We believe the lake will be reopened by end of summer. Please check back for updates. We still have beautiful views and lots of activities to give you a great mountain vacation. Hope to see you soon.

The house was exceptionally cute and private perfect for a recharge with my spouse. Stunning views and private dock. A lot of care in this property, well maintained. The owner was the nicest person and it felt very personal. Loved the entire experience. We plan on coming back when the lake re-opens. Love supporting the Lake Lure/ Chimney Rock area since it was always a special place with amazing residents!! Highly recommend!!

Relaxing Getaway

This cottage was great. Very relaxing. I really liked the view at sunrise from the deck. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook and there was some great restaurants around when we didn't want to cook. I will definitely be planning a trip back next year.

Perfect spot for family vacation

My husband, our nine year old son and I stayed here for two nights on our way to the Great Smoky Mountains. First of all, the view of Lake Lure from every room was simply AMAZING! We enjoyed swimming, fishing from the dock and kayaking so much. They provided all the fun amenities we needed! The house was really clean and had stocked with everything we needed. Bed was very comfortable, and wifi was very fast which helped me a lot as I had to do a video conference during the stay. We enjoyed eating out at the porch enjoying the lake view. The location of the house was perfect to enjoy the time on the Lake and in the mountain. We really wished we stayed here longer! Thank you Judy for having us! We hope to come back soon!

Cozy, warm home on the lake

Overall, very relaxing, peaceful and beautiful setting on the water with mountains in the background. Free kayaking with the kayaks from their property. Convenient location near grocery store (few minutes away), Lake Lure boat rentals (few minutes away), Chimney Rock State Park and Chimney Rock Village (10 - 15 minutes away). The only thing I don’t appreciate that ALL of the VRBO’s do is that they advertise a certain daily rate when a person is searching for a place to stay, but when they show you the final daily rate after they tack on all of the extra expenses, the daily rate jumps up $100 per day or more. I realize the extra charges depend on how many days a person stays but it is still a big difference from what is advertised when shopping for a place.
