About this property

Historic Lake Front Cottage- FirePit, Large Boathouse Deck

Lake Lure continues to recover from Hurricane Helene. Timber Cove Cottage is welcoming guests. Lake Lure is closed for all use, such as boating/swimming for 2025. There is so much that our beautiful foothills area has to offer. Come enjoy Timber Cove Cottage as a peaceful retreat and “home base” for visiting nearby towns and attractions. Area restaurants, including Lake Lure and Asheville are reopening. There's golf at Rumbling Bald, and area wineries, breweries, music, trails, waterfalls, and so much natural beauty within an hour's drive of Lake Lure. Tryon International Equestrian Center is hosting some of the Chimney Rock businesses on weekends. Saluda, Hendersonville, Forest City, Asheville, and larger cities like Greenville, SC and Charlotte, NC are great day-trip destinations. By choosing to visit, you’re supporting the local businesses of Lake Lure, Chimney Rock and Western NC. We look forward to welcoming you!

Timber Cove Cottage is one of Lake Lure’s most historic and scenic lakefront homes, with features dating back to the 1930’s. You will be captivated by the nearly 2 acres of beautifully landscaped stone terraces, walkways, and fire pit area. The wonderful outdoor spaces continue with an inviting roof-top deck, overlooking Timber Cove, Lake Lure and surrounding mountains. The home has been meticulously restored and updated while maintaining the original “lake cottage” layout and feel. Professionally managed, cleaned, and sanitized linen service. 3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms. Sleeps up to 8.
MAIN LEVEL: Timber Cove Cottage features an open Main Level floor plan with Great Room and fully equipped, updated kitchen with a double oven, and both drip and Keurig coffee makers. Walk-out from the Main Level directly onto a spacious Rooftop Deck and Stone Patios. A bright, airy Sunroom adjacent to the Great Room has dining table with bench seating + two chairs and a Queen sleeper-sofa. An additional 4 dining seats at the Kitchen island. Great Room has gas fireplace (Oct 1-April 1), flat screen Smart TV , and Sonos speaker, and another queen sleeper-sofa. Great Room, Deck and Sunroom have views overlooking Lake Lure.

If negotiating stairs are an issue for anyone in your group, you may want to consider a different property.
LOWER LEVEL has two Bedrooms and a full Bath. It’s an unconventional layout, which is part of the charm of a vintage lakefront cottage: Walk down the stairs directly into a Bedroom with 1 King Bed and flat screen Smart TV. Walk through the King Bedroom into the second Bedroom with a Queen Bed. The Lower Level Bathroom is accessed by walking through both Bedrooms. Lower Level walks out to the large Dock area, Pond and path to the Fire pit area.
