About this property

Historic Lake Front Cottage-SUP Boards, Kayaks, FirePit, Large Boathouse Deck

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.
NOTE: . The plan for the next Lake Drawdown is 1/1/24 - 3/31/24.
The Lake will be drawn down by 12 feet. The purpose of the Lake drawdown is to allow for the completion of priority infrastructure projects including the sewer system replacement project including the Gravity Lift System (GLS) in the North end of Sunset Cove, dredging, seawall and boathouse construction/maintenance, dam and hydroelectric plant maintenance, and sewer cleaning and maintenance.
While the Lake will begin rising on March 31st, 2024, the rate of refilling the Lake is based on the weather and rainfall received.

Great New Year's Eve Stay
Check in process was easy and the property looked even nicer than the photos! The fire pit was a big hit. Everything we needed was there. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of comfy seating for 7 in front of the cozy fire as well as the big farm table for dining. We enjoyed stargazing from the deck even though it was a bit chilly. We enjoyed exploring Chimney Rock, Triple Falls, and Hendersonville. Kathleen was very helpful. One word of caution, we encountered the neighbor's agressive dogs when taking the trash to the end of the drive, so if you have small kids, don't let them wander down the drive by themselves. It could have been a one time thing but just an FYI. I would definitely stay here again!

Lovely spot on the Lake
The house is great and has everything you need. Kayaks and inner tubes for spending time on the lake made for a fun stay. Property owners were very kind and easy to get in touch with.

Beautiful Timber Cove Cottage
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Timber Cove Cottage is a historic gem nestled on the shores of Lake Lure. My husband and I stayed there for 4 nights and loved it. The cottage and grounds are impeccably maintained, with marvelous stonework and landscaping. The cottage is spacious and well-appointed with modern appliances and amenities. It is located just a few minutes' drive from the charming town of Chimney Rock, as well as a grocery store and area restaurants. Our hosts were friendly and responsive, even checking in with us after a big storm knocked out power to the whole area. We will definitely stay there again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From beginning to end, this was the perfect action for our family of 4. Kathleen and the folks at BJP were always quick to respond and delightful to work with. The property is everything we hoped for and more. Charming, well-maintained, comfy beds, well-stocked kitchen and so many things to explore on the property and on the water. We loved the kayaks and paddle board. We were fascinated by the "mystery" of the neighboring property and its boathouse. The location on the lake is centralized and being just off the main channel in a private cove was perfection. We had the cove to ourselves which was so surprising given it was high season. We caught lots of fish in the cove too. The hydrangea, trees, flowers and stonework were stunningly beautiful. We even saw a brown bear down near the fire pit! I highly recommend this property. We cannot wait to return.

Heaven on the Lake
Had a wonderful week here! House was amazing, the view incredible and the water was so cool and refreshing! House was very clean with all the amenities you could need. Stairs and steps throughout the property could definitely be a challenge for some people. A railing down at the steps leading into the water is definitely needed for safety. Overall, this was a fantastic property! Highly recommend!
